Dearly Beloveds: Your curiosity and heart-felt interest in my weekly WP Blogs are humbling. I am so blessed to have this opportunity to share with you the private conversations the Holy Spirit grazes me with on a regular basis. So, please know if you have a “conversation” that you would like to share with the world, feel free to use the “Comment Section” below to enlighten us.
As you can see by the title of this week’s message, the Holy Spirit wanted to share God’s Wisdom and Understanding as to how he wishes each and every one of his followers to represent him as we share the Good News. It is my belief that the Spirit chose this topic because today (Thursday), I had to do a ‘fun’ teaching for a Senior church group on the meaning of how “oxymoron” (*) interjections can distort a person’s sentence structure and sow confusion in their message when sharing the Good News about Christianity.
So, in your sphere of influence as you retell, enlighten, hosts, connect with friends and family in holy conversation, be sure to do it under the covering of the attributes of God’s Son, Christ Jesus.
It might even bless you by first reading Galatians 5:22-26, prior to your enlightening oneself with the excerpts/examples below on the “The Fruit of the Spirit“. SO, GIVE IT A GO, MY FRIENDS!
Acts 4:32a
Self-control……All the believers were one in heart and mind.
(Restraint exercised over one’s own impulses, emotions and desires.)
Acts 4:32b
Love……No one claimed that any of their possessions were their own, but they shared everything they had.
(Unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.)
Acts 4:33a
Peace.….With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
(Freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotion.)
Acts 4:33b
Kindness…..And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all…
(The quality or state of being kind; affection.)
Acts 4:34a
Forbearance…..that there were no needy persons among them.
(The refraining from the enforcement of something as a debt, right or obligation that is due.)
Acts 4:34b
Faithfulness…..For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales…
(Faithful implies unswerving adherence to a person or thing or to the oath or promise by which a tie was contracted.)
Acts 4:35a
Gentleness…..and put it at the apostles’ feet,
(The quality or state of being gentle; honorable; mildness of manner; or disposition.)
Acts 4:35a
Joy…..and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
(Delight; the expression or exhibition of such emotion.)
John 15:16
Goodness…..“but I chose you…so that you might go and bear (good) fruit—fruit that will last…”
(The quality or state of being good. {Only GOD is GOOD}. He alone enables us to bear fruit, not we ourselves.)
(*) Note: oxymoron meaning – It is a figure of speech that combines contradictory words with opposing meanings; for example, “old news,” “deafening silence,” “organized chaos,” “an educated fool,” “sweet smelling odor” or “awfully good”. (Peppering speech with too many ‘oxymorons’ is confusing.)

Conversations With God Using Scripture 
Sister Fowler your blog has indeed been a blessing to I am sure not only me but all who are fortunate enough to read your blog weekly. When my Dad was going through his health struggles and seemed to be giving up, the Holy Spirit told me that my Dad still had work to do for God. I was able to share this with my Dad during his recovery! Thank you Holy Spirit for giving me these words to share with my Dad! My Dad is back serving as Superintendent and Head Deacon at his church. What a blessing!
