Many believers who flow regularly in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but not many who flow in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. What most people don’t realize is how important the Fruit of the Holy Spirit is in their lives. It is the formation of the character of Jesus Christ and the representation of Him on the inside of each and every believer.
The Holy Spirit has two main purposes in each of our lives. The first is on the inside of you, transforming us into the Image of Christ and maturing the Fruit inside of us: Galatians 4:19
“My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until CHRIST IS COMPLETELY AND PERMANENTLY FORMED (molded) WITHIN YOU,”
The second one is the operation of the Holy Spirit through the gifts manifesting on the outside for all those around us:
Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has COME UPON YOU, and you shall be MY WITNESSES in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.”
Beloved remember, Gods Glory manifests itself through those with Powerful Character not necessarily powerful gifting. Those who flow in the gifts will see many incredible Signs, Wonders and Miracles but only those with real Fruit of the Holy Spirit Flowing through their lives will see His Glory manifest in the ways we’ve been crying out for.
The manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God will be accompanied by the Glory of God which runs in the Family. They will act like Dad, Move like Dad, talk like Dad and look like Dad, because they belong to Him and He lives in them. A hireling can operate under the authority of his master but only the real offspring can manifest the Family characteristics.
While greatly love and appreciate the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, they are no substitute for the operation of Gods glory upon each of our lives. It’s time that the church didn’t just flow with incredible gifting, but also the Operation of Power Fruit which will exhibit the Glory of God. Only from seeking the Face of Heavenly Father will we see true transformation into the Image of Jesus.
Psalms 24:6 “This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah!
