How Fruit Produces Power Pt. 5 (Gentleness)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
*- gentleness: benignity (harmless), kindness
*- gentleness is directly translated as “lovingkindness” or “steadfast love,” reflecting a similar concept of covenantal loyalty and kindness.

Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God’s will)?
Romans 2:4 AMPC
*- God’s gentleness and kindness are designed to lead us to recognize our unworthiness of His grace, compelling us to humble ourselves, repent of our wrongdoing, and surrender fully to live in obedience to Him.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians 3:12 KJV
*- Put on: “to sink” or “to go into”
*- Therefore, kindness is the power that causes us to only be seen as the kindness we display. It is through this meekness that we immerse ourselves, enabling us to encounter our true identity by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Gentleness is mightier than any of the following conquerors:
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
*- When the Holy Spirit is allowed to rule in our lives, our past is cast aside, and He produces such profound gentleness and kindness that all of our former ways are completely destroyed by the transformative power of His gentleness.
Titus 3:3-4 KJV

Lifework Assignment:
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas in your life where gentleness is needed. Meditate on Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 2:4, and Colossians 3:12 this week. Practice sinking into gentle responses to minor or major difficult situations, and watch how God moves mightily through your humility.

Expected Behavior:
We will live in such a way that when the Holy Spirit prompts us to choose kindness, we’ll immediately embrace and demonstrate the kindness and gentleness that He produces within and through us.

The Next President
(Presiden-Elect Donald Trump’s Inauguration Tomorrow)

Romans 13:1 AMPC Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment.
Proverbs 21:1 AMPC The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as are the watercourses; He turns it whichever way He wills.
Proverbs 29:2 AMPC When the [uncompromisingly] righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.

1 Timothy 2:1-3 AMPC
2 First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men,
2 For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way.
3 For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior,

Life in the Supernatural Pt 422
How Fruit Produces Power Pt. 4 (Longsuffering)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
*- longsuffering: patience, patient self-control, restraint and tolerance under provocation, slowness in avenging wrongs
*- More than patience—longsuffering is enduring with a hopeful expectation and a refusal to give up in the face of difficulties. It’s not a passive waiting but an active stance that invites God’s power to manifest while we’re enduring.

The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people’s conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 AMPC
*- Longsuffering reflects God’s character. His longsuffering toward humanity demonstrates His desire for us to live in redemption and fullness.
*- When we practice and share our experience with longsuffering, we operate in God’s power that fulfills the promise made to those who wait patiently. Psalm 40:1, Isaiah 40:31, James 1:12)

But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Matthew 24:13 AMPC
*- saved: to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment.

3 Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.
4 But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.
James 1:3-4 AMPC
*- We prove that we have the power of faith in God when we patiently endure our trials.

1 Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,
*- run: a metaphor taken from the runners in a race, to exert oneself, strive hard; to spend one's strength in performing or attaining something

2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 AMPC

Lifework Assignment:
Longsuffering is not weakness—it is strength controlled and powered by the Holy Spirit in our lives while we go through trials. So, observe your future responses when troublesome situations approach or remain in your life for a season. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you with longsuffering.

Discover the surprising truth about the kind of peace that comes from the Holy Spirit, and how it’s meant to equip you to navigate a world filled with difficult people and challenging situations.

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s message:

How Fruit Produces Power Pt. 3

*- Too many Christians are choosing to remain ignorant—ignoring the truth about what it takes to produce fruit (responses) that truly pleases God.
*- Only by following the Holy Spirit can we eliminate the guesswork, as the fruit of the Holy Spirit always brings pleasure to God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
*- peace: harmony between individuals
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 KJV
*- peace: A formula of blessing and well-wishing, traditionally addressed by the Hebrews to friends as they departed, desiring that they go into a place or state of peace. Christ elevated this concept, not merely wishing peace but actively giving it—offering true wellness and divine blessing.

37 And a furious storm of wind [of hurricane proportions] arose, and the waves kept beating into the boat, so that it was already becoming filled.
38 But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat], asleep on the [leather] cushion; and they awoke Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we are perishing?

39 And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).
Mark 4:37-39 AMPC
*- Hush now / peace: to be silent, hold one's peace.
*- In God, we have the power to command a noisy undesirable (sickness, fear, temptation, etc.) to be silent immediately!

19 For while your loyalty and obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you well versed and wise as to what is good and innocent and guileless as to what is evil.
20 And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with you.
Romans 16:19-20 AMPC
*- peace: the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is.

And the effect of righteousness will be peace [internal and external], and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.
Isaiah 32:17 AMPC
*- The impact of righteousness in our lives, and the result of allowing it to bear fruit through us, will be an unshakable peace and a steadfast, unwavering trust in God!

Lifework Assignment: Study and apply this sermon’s definitions of peace to your life.
Expected Behavior: We will have and share peace to remove undesirables from our lives and the lives of others.

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s message:

How Fruit Produces Power Pt. 2

*- Christians often struggle to manifest God’s power because we default to producing reason, calculations, control, and emotions—rather than cultivating the fruit that unlocks His power.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV

7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah—the Levites—helped the people to understand the Law, and the people [remained] in their place.
8 So they read from the Book of the Law of God distinctly, faithfully amplifying and giving the sense so that [the people] understood the reading.
9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all of them, This day is holy to the Lord your God; mourn not nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Law.

10 Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.
Nehemiah 8:7-10 AMPC
*- joy: rejoice, gladness
*- strength: used metaphorically to describe God as a refuge or stronghold for His people, emphasizing His role as a protector and source of strength.
*- Sorrowful repentance over sin is necessary, but it is not the end of the story. God’s grace and mercy restore His people and bring joy because He lovingly protects His repentant ones.

10 Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold.
Nehemiah 8:7-10 AMPC
*- How can we produce genuine joy (gladness)?
*- The Holy Spirit produces joy by revealing the good news of God’s will and purpose for our lives…
*- We are not to wallow in sorrow; instead, we are to eat, drink, and share—actions that flow from a heart filled with joy.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Acts 16:25-26 KJV
*- Singing joyous praises—especially during trials—releases miraculous power.

Lifework Assignment:
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to live a life of authentic joy, where miracles flow naturally and become a daily part of your walk with Him

Expected Behavior:
When we live a life filled with authentic joy, we become a testimony that inspires others to trust God and believe Him for the miracles He has prepared for them.

Are you tired of praying for miracles and seeing nothing happen? Have you ever wondered why some people seem to walk in God’s power effortlessly while you struggle to see any breakthrough?

In this powerful message, Apostle Shane Wall reveals the shocking secret to unlocking the miraculous in your life. It’s not about having more faith, working harder, or doing more religious activities. It’s about something much deeper and much more transformative.

Apostle Wall exposes the common misconception that keeps many Christians from experiencing the power of God and shares the one key that will unlock the supernatural in your life.

Here are the author’s notes from this week’s message:

How Fruit Produces Power Pt. 1

*- The reason many Christians struggle to produce miracles is that they rely on their own fruit—things like reasoning, calculations, control, and emotions—rather than producing the fruit that produces God’s power.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
*- How, then, do we stop producing our own fruit and start producing the fruit of the Holy Spirit?
*- Stop focusing on yourself and start acting according to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

*-The Law of First-Mention is the principle in the interpretation of Scripture which states that the first mention or occurrence of a subject in Scripture establishes an unchangeable pattern, with that subject remaining unchanged in the mind of God throughout the entirety of the Bible.
*-Love wasn’t mentioned in the Bible until 20 generations after Adam.

[God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you.
Genesis 22:2 AMPC
*- When we’re willing to sacrifice what we love, we make room for a miracle to take its place in our or someone else’s life—something greater than what was there before our act of sacrificial love.
*- If you want to experience God’s power in your life and in the lives of those you minister to, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the specific act of sacrificial love He requires of you. It is through this sacrifice that miracles will replace yours and others’ needs.

*- How do we strengthen our own belief and help others believe for their miracle?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
*- Love has the power to transform hearts, moving them from disbelief to belief, because love makes it easier to trust and accept what once seemed impossible.
*- Miracles happen when we choose to believe and remain steadfast in faith, holding on to what God has said.

Lifework Assignment:
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal how you can live a life of sacrificial love, allowing miracles to become a natural, daily part of your life.

Expected Behavior:
Because you live a life of sacrificial love, you will easily inspire people’s hearts to believe for the miracles God has for them, right at the moment you encounter their need.

Here are the author's notes from this week's message:

Suffering in God’s Kingdom Pt. 5

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)
*- The purpose of suffering was never about what caused it or when it would end. Its true purpose has always been to refine and make us better.

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Matthew 26:36-39, 42, 44 KJV
*- For many of us, suffering begins in the mind—anticipating the suffering we must face.
*- How can we recognize when our suffering has ended? Is it when the situation resolves, a financial breakthrough occurs, or a perfect opportunity arises?
*- We know our suffering is over when we have been perfected, established, strengthened, and settled—just as Jesus was.

*- Has a recent situation tested and revealed your level of settlement? The other three qualities—perfection, establishment, and strength—lead to settlement in areas where God is preparing to build.
*- Ultimately, after enduring suffering successfully, we will say: “God has properly adjusted me to be firmly planted to endure tension so I can be a strong and solid foundation for Him to build upon.”
*- God only allows our suffering for a short while because once He has settled us as a strong and solid foundation, He’s ready to build…
*- Suffering is a sign that God is ready to build something more significant in your life.

Lifework Assignment:
Ask: “Father, You have prepared me for what You will build in my life soon. Instruct me to do all I need to do for this building process and to maintain what is built to Your standards.”

In this explosive conclusion to the Suffering in God’s Kingdom series, Apostle Shane Wall delivers a powerful message about the final days and the crucial choice each of us faces. He reveals a hidden sign in scripture hinting at the timing of Jesus' return and unveils the shocking truth about the two most prevalent displays of power seen online today: prophecy and casting out devils.

But here's the chilling revelation: Just because you are used by God, does it guarantee you a place in Heaven? Apostle Shane Wall doesn't pull punches, sharing a startling truth straight from Scripture that will challenge your understanding of faith, obedience, and God's plan.

Prepare to be challenged, moved, and awakened to a deeper understanding of God’s work in your life. Are you building on the rock or the sand?

Here are the author's notes from this week's message:

Suffering in God’s Kingdom Pt. 4

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV)

*- suffered: I am acted upon in a certain bad way; I experience ill-treatment. In a bad sense, is of misfortunes, to undergo evils and to be afflicted.

*- settle:
*- Definition: to lay the foundation of
*- Usage: I found, lay the foundation (literally and metaphorically)
*- To make stable, establish of the soul.
*- Lay the foundation, ground, settle (the area for building)
*- To lay a basis for, i.e. (literally) erect, or (figuratively) consolidate [make (something) physically stronger or more solid]-- (lay the) found(-ation), ground, settle.

*- Do you want to know a hidden sign in the Bible referencing the season of Jesus' return?
*- What are the top two displays of power that many preachers, primarily online, seem eager to showcase during these final days?
22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?
23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].

24 So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a [a]sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.
25 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
27 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great and complete was the fall of it.

28 When Jesus had finished these sayings [the Sermon on the Mount], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching,
29 For He was teaching as One Who had [and was] authority, and not as [did] the scribes.
Matthew 7:22-29 AMPC

*- This final installment of this series marks the ending of a suffering season for some of us—more endings are soon to come.
*- What will God build on your life, once this suffering has caused you to be settled and solid enough for the huge structure He wants you to be the foundation for?

Lifework Assignment:
Ask: “Holy Spirit, will You please guide me how to use the meaning of "settle" in prayer so I can better understand from God, my Father, why my specific type of suffering is essential for my growth and fruitfulness?”
