I'm Not Slowing Down Part 2Sample

We live in a society that is defined by achievement and the act of doing. But when it comes to the fruit of the Holy Spirit, it’s not just what we do, but WHO the Holy Spirit is that produces fruit. We can make a plan, we can tell ourselves to just be more joyful, but the action doesn’t mean anything if the heart behind it is wrong. In order to change our hearts, we need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. We need to invite him into every area and ask him to take over. When we are able to lay down our desires, our selfish natures, and the things we want, it allows for the Holy Spirit to come in and cultivate that area to produce hisfruit, not ours.
Questions:
1. Have I invited the Holy Spirit into the areas that I want to see more of his fruit? Take a moment to invite him in and highlight the fruit he wants to produce in this season.
