Fruitless, but Gifted by the Holy Spirit?

[Apostol2013]

This can be true because the gifts are only part of us but the true born again would be displaying and living inwardly the very fruits of God the gift of the spirit is for edification meaning renewance of the soul mind into the being we are meant to be praying in the spirit cultivates renews the heart mind and SL all thanks to Jesus by His grace

 

[Apostol2013]

Remembering at any time a person can fall away but persevering is the key never giving up and not remaining in sin

The gifts of the Spirit are the Spirit's works not yours. You still must bear your own fruit. Stay connected to the vine Jesus and you will bear good fruit.

Alot of the people back then had a lot of Spiritual gifts and were (fruitless) abusing such, ..that is why Paul wrote them and explained that in His letters. And today sadly it's still the same.

isn't this sad, that we haven't learned this by now? There is nothing new under the Sun

I don't understand how your life cannot have changed in 10 years. Have you not given up ANY bad habits, old ways, old desires? Didn't you feel, right after, when this was all new, that you wanted to please God? I pray every morning for God to allow me to bless someone today. Some days I know when that person shows up, sometimes I don't.

Do you ever question something you used to like to do and now wonder if you should be doing it? Some may seem very trivial but small changes come first. Example: the grocery clerk gave me $8.00 too much in change. Years ago I would have been happy, kept it, and probably bought myself lunch. But I told her and gave it back. Because that's what Jesus would have done. IT's a mind set that I am to do what pleases God.

Little things like this are the changes that will take place if one truly accepts and loves Jesus as his Savior.
