Yesterday's messages were good and nobody said I like your tie! Yet as I sit here Monday morning I ask myself if I received the Word as the Holy Spirit wanted me to receive it. What fruit should result from the hearing of the Word yesterday? How will I measure it?
The Bible says the fruit can be up to 100% in my life or maybe 50% or as little as 25%. Yet the important fact is that the is fruit if I have received the Word.
So how did a message about prayer effect my life Do I look for a longer time spent in prayer, a different way to pray, or perhaps a change in my attitude of prayer. I will look for something new in my prayer knowledge and begin to put it into practice.
What about being God's man for God's time? Will I seek to be like David and slay the giants in my life? Will I seek to live up to the calling God has given to me? I can learn from the man after God's heart.
The question of this sequel is about the hearing of the Word. Should we be able to see visible fruit result from the Bible every time we hear it? Or will it just naturally be produced in our live over time and show itself to others? One thing is for sure....the Bible will produce fruit in us! What do you think?
