1. Question and Answer
Women of Africa Care Air crew, Which of the fruits have you found a challenge in experiencing and how are addressing it?
Shinaaz, Erika - expressed Self Control Angelina expressed Faithfulness
Faithfulness - 1 John 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
Rev 12.11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death
Gal 5.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, 23[g]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
1 Cor 2.14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only
2. About Self Control and Faithfulness
(the following information relating to self-control and faithfulness is extracted from https://biblehub.com/ study tool)
2.1 Self Control Transliteration: egkrateia
 
Phonetic Spelling: (eng-krat'-i-ah)Definition: mastery, self-controlUsage: self-mastery, self-restraint, self-control, continence.
2.2 Faithfulness - Transliteration: pistis
Phonetic Spelling: (pis'-tis)Definition: faith, faithfulnessUsage: faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness.
Faith (4102/pistis) is always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. In short, 4102/pistis ("faith") for the believer is "God's divine persuasion" – and therefore distinct from human belief (confidence), yet involving it. The Lord continuously births faith in the yielded believer so they can know what He prefers, i.e. the persuasion of His will (1 Jn 5:4).
Faith (4102/pistis) is also used collectively – of all the times God has revealed (given the persuasion of) His will, which includes the full revelation of Scripture (Jude 3). Indeed, God the Lord guarantees that all of this revelation will come to pass! Compare Mt 5:18 with 2 Tim 3:16.]
1. The root of 4102/pistis ("faith") is 3982/peithô ("to persuade, be persuaded") which supplies the core- meaning of faith ("divine persuasion"). It is God's warranty that guarantees the fulfillment of the revelation He births within the receptive believer (cf. 1 Jn 5:4 with Heb 11:1).
Faith (4102/pistis) is always received from God, and never generated by us.
Ro 12:3: "For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith (4102/pistis)" (NASU).
Eph 2:8,9: " For by grace you have been saved through faith (4102/pistis); and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast" (NASU).
Gal 5:22,23: "22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith (4102/pistis), 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
2 Thes 1:11: "To this end (glorification) – indeed each time we pray about (peri) you for the purpose (hin) of our God counting you worthy of the call – even that He may fulfill (His) every good-pleasure that comes from (His) goodness and work of faith, in (His) ability."
But the righteous will live in his faith" (= 4102/pistis, "faith from the Lord").
More on what faith is . . . and isn't from biblehub study tool
In Scripture, faith and belief are not exactly the same. Faith always comes from God and involves His revelation therefore faith is beyond belief!
Faith is God's work; faith is never the work of people. We cannot produce faith ourselves, nor can we "drum it up at will." Rather, faith comes as Christ speaks His rhçma-word within (see Ro 10:17, Gk text).
In all of Scripture, only the term faith is ever used in the following way: Ro 14:23: Whatever is not of faith (4102/pistis) is sin." Heb 11:6: "And without faith (4102/pistis) it is impossible to please God.

Gospel Evening from Blacketyside Farm recorded 24th February 2024

This month's Gospel Evening recorded at Blacketyside Farm, Fife

Gospel4You - 'The Eyes Of The Lord Are On Those Who Fear Him'

We take as our theme scripture - Psalm 33:12-22 as read by Bev Venning.
Psalm 33:12-22
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,    the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 
From heaven the Lord looks down    and sees all mankind;
14 
from his dwelling place he watches    all who live on earth—
15 
he who forms the hearts of all,    who considers everything they do.
16 
No king is saved by the size of his army;    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 
to deliver them from death    and keep them alive in famine.
20 
We wait in hope for the Lord;    he is our help and our shield.
21 
In him our hearts rejoice,    for we trust in his holy name.
22 
May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,    even as we put our hope in you.

WOAC ON AIR - 'Benefits of Fruits Of The Spirit - Joy, Peace, Gentleness

WOAC On Air –01 February 2024 Episode 83
Inspiration brought to you by WOAC on Air ___________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: The benefits of the fruit of the Spirit -Part 2 (Joy, Peace, Gentleness)
Matthew 7 - A Tree and its Fruit
Women of Africa Care Pty Ltd
15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Good fruit is doing the will of God. Jesus did the will of the Father that was Him bearing Good fruit. Matt 7.21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
How do we bear good fruit? By abiding in God.
John 15.4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you[a] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
How we build good fruit is by building our foundation in Jesus Christ and the challenges of life will test our foundation Matthew 7 24 - House on the Rock
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon arock. 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
What are some of the personal benefits of the fruits of the spirit - 1. GentlenessA) God's gentleness makes us great.
Psalm 18.35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up,Your gentleness has made me great.
B) Diffuses Conflict
Proverbs 15.1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
C) Gentleness Illustrates Unity and Maturity
Ephesians 4.2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Philippians 4.4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all.
D) Gentleness gives our Soul (mind, will and emotions) us rest
Matthew 11.29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
What does gentleness do amongst communities:Proverbs 15.4 - “A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” 2. Joy of the Spirit
Greek word for Joy is chara - awareness of God’s grace and favor - this revelation brings about joy and strengthens a person. Matthew 25 Jesus gives a parable of the talents and he says to the person who multiplied their 5 talents and the servant who multiplied their 2 talents “23His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Joy of the Lord enables us to exercise God’s grace for the opportunities God would have us embrace Without joy we battle to embrace His grace and favor.
John 15.9 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. (grace, strength, favor)
“The joy of the Lord is my strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). God’s joy stenghtens us. Notice what David states in Psalm 22.13 “The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD;Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength!We will sing and praise Your power.
3. Peace of the Spirit
.
John 14.27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
A) Peace guards our soul
Philippians 4.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
B) Peace leads us into the purposes of God - We are led by the peace of God
John 20.19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. 21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with
you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
C) Peace protects us
Abigail demonstrated the impact of peace in protecting her people when she rose up and presented a peace meal offering to David and his men. 1 Samuel 25 Nabal who is described as a harsh, unpleasant, evil man refuses to provide a festive meal treat for David and his men, David responds with intentions to destory Nabals territory, and one of Nabals workforce returned home and informed Abigail that their lives are endangered because the master does not want to offer a meal offering to David and his men. David came in peace, and the bible says do not withhold good when it is in your power to do so. Abigail described as an intelligent woman rose up to protect her people by humbling herself and present a peace meal. We recognise that peace makers have intelligence and humility, it’s not about whose wrong or right it’s about peace for the sake of protecting people’s lives.
D) Peace is the bond / glue that unites christians in the spirit.
Paul speaks to the christians through the various churches and a common theme amongst all of his ministry is “Peace”
Ephesians 4.3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
1 Thess 5.13 Live in peace with each other.
E) Sign of Maturity - Matthew 5:9Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God”
