    The Fruit of the Land, Part 8

    We have been briefly discussing how the seedbed of the fruit of the Spirit is New Testament church life. Of course, another main seedbed of this fruit is family life. This is why both of these, church life and family life, are under such an assault in our times. However, it is during these times that the greatest church life and the greatest families will emerge.

    As we have discussed previously, the Lord Jesus could have bound the devil and taken possession of the world immediately after His resurrection, as He had fully purchased it by the cross....

    The Fruit of the Land, Part 7

    Before we study the fruit of the Spirit and into much more about our inheritance in the Promised Land, we must first prepare the ground for the seed so that it can bear fruit, which is what we have been doing for the last few weeks. The good soil for that seed is the church. Church life, with all of its blessings and problems, is required to not only bear fruit, but fruit that will remain.

    For those of you who already have a healthy church life, let us seek to excel even more and rise to even...

    The Fruit of the Land, Part 6

    As we have studied in II Corinthians 9:8-10, it should be the goal of every Christian to have:

    1) all grace, abounding

    2) all sufficiency, in everything

    3) an abundance for every good deed

    4) our seed multiplying so that we have even more for sowing

    Take this personally. This is the state of normal, mature Christianity. It is what God wants you walking in. He has unlimited resources, and not only does He not mind sharing them with you, but He delights in it. He wants you to live the most fruitful, prosperous...

    The Fruit of the Land, Part 5

    As we continue our study of the Promised Land, we want to be more specific about what the promises of God are for us. Just what does a “land of milk and honey” mean for us as Christians? It is a place of prosperity and blessing, which is to be enjoyed with thanksgiving. However, if we have truly come to know the Lord, without question the greatest blessing of all is the Lord Himself. As Paul prayed for the believers in Colossians 2:2-3:
     

    that their hearts may be...

    The Fruit of the Land, Part 4

    One reason why we spent so many weeks examining the works of the flesh before doing this study is because our carnal, selfish nature must be dealt with before we can be entrusted with the true riches of the kingdom. Some of this is dealt with as we learn to handle earthly riches. Even so, we are not just trying to stop manifesting the works of the flesh, but we are seeking to bear fruit for the kingdom. If we just pursue the negative, we will only become empty. If we pursue the positive, it will displace the negative....
