Lately I have been focusing in my walk with God on how the fruit of the Spirit is working in my life. I try and recite the fruits aloud so that I will remain always thoughtful of where I am spiritually. I ask, "What fruit do I have today?" Where I find that I am lacking then I know I need to seek God further in His word and especially in Prayer.
While doing this, it occurred to me this morning on how much the fruit of the Spirit and the Armor of God go hand in hand, take a look at these verses:
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!"
Galations 5:22,23
"Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere."
Ephesians 6:11-18
It is awesome to know that God sent not only Jesus Christ for our salvation but also a strong and Holy Spirit that will lead us through each and every day.
