And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] self-control.

How do we Bear Testimony?
By Putting the Lord Jesus in the Central and Supreme Place.
The Faithful Witness to God’s Kingdom is Careful to Give Christ That Place of Supremacy here and now.
The Great Secret of Abiding in Christ is the Deep Conviction that we are nothing, and He is Everything.
As this is Learnt, it no longer seems strange to Believe that our weakness need be no hindrance to His Saving Power.
What a pity that so many people quench the Holy Spirit here.
They quench the sensation which the Holy Spirit Gives to Move them to Pray.
Hereafter, few of such sensations will ever come upon them.
Thus they are no longer useful vessels before the Lord.
What is the Eternal Purpose of God?
Simply, it is God Working Himself into the man whom He Has Created.
If you want the Power of God’s Spirit to be Revealed in your life, it must come from a Closer Attachment to Christ, a Closer Union with Him.
