Now let's go over now to the book of Galatians once again. Now we know in the 5th chapter and the 22nd verse the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, makeness and temperance against such there is

no law.

But now wait a minute. What about the works of the flesh?

V verse 19 the works of the flesh are manifest which are these. And he's writing to Christian people,

born again, Holy Spirit baptized Christian people.

Adultery, fornication, uncleanliness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,

Stryth, seditions, heresies, envings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like, look at the company

strive keeps.

It isn't worth it. It is absolutely not worth it. The things that it destroys. It destroys dreams.

The very apostles of the Lamb, of course Satan attacked them with that.

But these are the same men that changed the history of the world.

What changed everything?

First of all, the new birth happened right there.

Jesus breathed on them and said, receive the spirit.

That's when they were born again.

And then on the day of Pentecost, glory to God, filled to

overflowing with the love of God himself, the spirit of the living God.

Once that took place, what happened?

The love of God was shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost.

Can you see it the strife and the fussing was over now they knew who they were The devil was defeated and the rest is history. Strife is a killer. It's a killer. It's a killer of families. It's a killer of nations. It's a killer of nations. This nation is suffering with it today.

Like I've, and I've been around a long time.

I'm 83 years old. I've seen a lot come and go in this country.
