Happy Birthday to The Fruitful Life!

This week, it’s been 3 years since my book The Fruitful Life released, and I’m throwing a book birthday party for it!

The Fruitful Life: A Unique Look at the Fruits of the Spirit

I wrote The Fruitful Life to help you uncover hidden sins and grow closer to God.

It’s a brief Bible study on the fruits of the spirit and their common opposites.  

All of the nine fruits of the spirit from Galatians 5:22-23 are discussed in detail.

Each chapter begins with a personal story, then a look at God’s way, Jesus’ example, and the Holy Spirit’s empowerment to help you bear more fruits of the spirit.

Here’s a portion of the chapter titled Anxious or Peaceful:

The Holy Spirit is a harbinger of peace.

On the night of his last supper with his disciples, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit in his absence.

He said the Holy Spirit would be a teacher and remind them of everything he said.

Then Jesus said,

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart.  And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give.  So do not be troubled or afraid.
John 14:27

This peace is the kind that “passes all understanding” (Philippians 4:7 NIV), available only through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t you want that kind of peace in your life?

Ask the Holy Spirit to give it to you.

When you are feeling anxious, pray right then for God to give you his perfect, supernatural peace.

He will help you bear the fruit of peace when you walk closely beside him.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
I want to become a peacemaker, not one trapped in the web of anxiety.
Show me the areas of worry inside my heart, areas I don’t even recognize.
Help me see worry as a sin, because it means I don’t fully trust you.
Teach me how to choose your peace when I feel anxiety rising.
Help me memorize verses on peace so I can recall them instantly when I begin to worry.
Jesus, I am trusting you to serve as my Prince of Peace.
Empower me through your Holy Spirit to bear the fruit of peace. 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
