Love, Joy, and Peace

Have you heard the old song, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart?"

Well, if you know Jesus then you can experience true joy! And you can spread it, too! When you placed your trust in Jesus alone, you've experienced the love of God; and there is true joy and peace in knowing where you'll spend eternity. Love, joy, and peace are part of the fruit of the Spirit; and we can use these God-given characteristics to lead people to saving faith in Him. Pio sent in his testimony on whats my story dot org, and he shared that before his brother led him to Jesus that he struggled with immense angry.

Now that he knows Jesus, he says his heart is full of peace and joy and that he can now share love and forgiveness with others! This, my friend, is the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Fruit of the Spirit

Have you heard of the "Fruit of the Spirit?"

Galatians five twenty-two and twenty-three(5:22-23) list nine characteristics of a Holy Spirit-filled life: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." When you look at the life of Jesus, you see every one of these qualities.

If you'll devote yourself to Him, you'll look like He does! If you're walking close to the Lord, you'll see the Fruit of the Spirit in your own life; and these traits will help you become an effective witness for Jesus! 

Now, you may thinking, "how can I share the Gospel using the Fruit of the Spirit?" Well, think each one and use them in your actions and speech. Let your intentions be out of love, speak with joy, share His peace and be patient with those you share with.

Jesus Prayed for the Lost

Do you realize that Jesus prayed for you? Now, what did He pray? 

One thing He prayed, the night of His arrest before Calvary, was this: “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.” This is God's great mission! Right before Jesus was arrested, brutally beaten and killed, He prayed for the lost. He prayed that people would come to know Him - to be in Heaven with Him one day. Are you praying for the lost too? 

If you're not, I would encourage you to start today! Make a list of ten people you know that need to hear about Jesus. And then faithfully pray for them by name each day. Do not be shocked when you see God answer! He may even do so by giving you the opportunity to share the Gospel with them.

Pray for Them

Who are you praying for? I'm sure that if you know Jesus, you pray regularly for your family and friends and maybe even some people that you don't personally know. But are you praying for the lost?

The Lord seeks to save us, and He hears our prayers. So if you're praying for the lost, He will answer for He desires all to hear the Gospel. Pray for them by name that they would be receptive to hear who Jesus is and what He has done. Pray that they will be given the opportunity to accept the grace of Jesus. And as you pray, don't forget to ask for Christians to be raised up to share the Gospel with the lost.

Matthew chapter nine says the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the field. Finally, let’s be willing to be one of those workers!

Pray to Revive

Have you ever prayed for a great revival? Have you given up praying for that revival yet?

There was once a 100-year prayer meeting - that's right, a prayer meeting that last one hundred years! The prayer was for revival, and it happened. The 100 Year Prayer meeting was held in Saxony Germany; and 65 years into it, the community that was praying had already sent out 300 missionaries! Not only did they devote themselves to prayer, but they were also willing to go out themselves and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Don't give up praying with believers for revival to happen. Pray for the Gospel to be heard and share the Gospel!

Jesus said that where two or three gather in His Name, He will be among them. So, spend time in prayer with other believers and watch God move among you.
