Do We Want to Reap the Flesh or the Fruit of the Spirit?
Do We Want to Reap the Flesh or the Fruit of the Spirit?
Think about it. Which way do we want to go? All our choices have consequences.
We will reap either Godliness with contentment, or sin with heartache!
Good morning.
Let’s do some comparing today of the results of our choice. The scriptures plainly tell us:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23
Here is a link with a teaching video enclosed. It was strong on my heart as I awoke, to re-share this. I feel someone strongly needs to open this link today and listen and read.
“We Must Get Into Unity of the Faith Together“
” Good morning.
The main subject here today is about us getting into the Unity of the Faith together.
Also we will cover not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.
Part of what we will talk about also, is bearing with one another, e.g. baby Christians.
(All Scriptures given at the end from Hebrews and Galatians)
Some main gists:
We will talk and read here of the ‘fruits of the flesh’ and the ‘fruit of the spirit’ operating.
As The LORD spoke to me many years ago, we don’t need to throw the baby out with the wash!
Some are not mature Christians and we are to nurture them by being patient and loving.
Some Churches have ‘Ichabod*‘ on their doors already. Still we must be faithful to assemble together wherever The LORD leads us. Some have house churches, etc.
We must be born again! When we come to The LORD Jesus Christ, He will take things away from us. We are to just catch the fish and let The LORD clean them.
When we correct others, we must first examine our own hearts then operate in a spirit of love. Still we don’t want to leave them in that shape.
There should be No gospel of gloom and doom with us!
In closing, the ‘Remnant’ in America can Arise out of the Ashes!
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.” Galatians 5:13-26
“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:1-2
*Ichabod : the Glory has departed
[…….] “
The works of the flesh take us in an entirely different direction. Still it is our choice.
Let’s choose right!
For sure know we will reap our choice! Also know that our sin will find us out! Let’s awake unto righteousness!
God bless you all.

My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain to the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace; author; and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
Hi Joyce. You did so well on your video. It is something I have yet to learn. I too like the KJV, NKJV. I have many translations but am aware of the omissions. I do like the KJV for memorizing. It sinks in and I find seems to stay in my heart best. Always appreciate hearing scripture. His Words sinks into our hearts and we so need His Word throughout our day. Yes, we so need to be led by His Spirit. Thanks for sharing. Love you sister❤️
Thank you Patricia. As I believe I stated, talking on camera is not my comfort zone!! Lol.. still Father God takes us out of our comfort zone. I love you sis and have never met you, but I feel we are kindred spirits! Praying blessings over you in Jesus Mighty Name! ❤️
Joyce, I love you too. After all, we have the same Father. Think if the body of Christ fully understood this there would be more love one for another. Yes, I struggle with technology. My generation learned to write with an inkwell and quill pen. I have shed tears over technology. Am still trying to copy paste from my phone and post from my desktop. Appreciate being prayed for as I struggle in my older age of 74. I know we are never old in the Lord and there is no retirement in God. Am overcoming but needing much prayer. My two best intercessors moved to heaven. Keep on doing those videos you are doing an amazing job and it was so good to hear your sweet voice. ❤️
Thank you, Patricia, and of course I will intercede in behalf for you and already do as the Spirit of the Lord prompts me. Anything specific ask Angus for my email and I will get directly.
I am 70 in years and in spirit feel very youthful, but in body not so! Lolol
Take care. ❤️
Thank you my dear friend and jķbrother. God bless all of you there.
