Dear Family,

Today is Wednesday, May 3, 2023. It is Day 25; and, Day 4 of Week 4 in our Count to Pentecost.

Through the Spirit of God we are becoming sons of God. And, as part of that process, we have access to God and His divine nature.

2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Whatever it is that we need to accomplish God’s plan for us, God is able and ready to supply.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

We see a list of the fruit of God’s Spirit in Galatians. This passage tells us that there is NO LAW against such characteristics. Each of these characteristics is completely in harmony with law.

Galatians 5:22-23 (22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, (23) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

As part of our Counting to the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost, let us take the time to prayerfully review the abundance of these characteristics in our own lives. It is certainly God’s will that we abound in this fruit, because God is glorified through such fruit.

John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

May God bless us to yield ourselves to God so there will be MUCH fruit for His glory. And, may He give us the eyes to see all of His power working in our lives, along with the other blessings and experiences He gives to us. Truly we have much to rejoice about!
