FRUITS OF MY SPIRIT

Cut off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit, and prune the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more – John 15:2 (NLT)

Soul vs. Spirit

In the garden, our divine connection to God was severed. No longer could we be in perfect communion with a perfect God. We had taken a new path that interfered with God’s divine order. Our mind, will, emotions, and bodily needs had taken the driver’s seat as our spirits died without the life that breathed it (Genesis 2:7; Job 33:4).

So instead of our soul responding to desires of the spirit, it began responding to the cravings of the body. 

God gave us a way to reverse this through communion with His Holy Spirit. When we have fellowship with the Holy Spirit and follow His leading, we can live in God’s divine order of our spirits in the drivers seat and our souls following suit.

About Me

Hi, I’m AMECIA, founder of FRUITS OF MY SPIRIT

From motherhood, personal testimonies, vegetarian cooking, and baking to co-parenting, budgeting, and therapy. I pray God helps you find the beauty in cultivating your garden through the fruits of mine.

I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, a new mommy, and a writer. God is using my life experiences and motherhood journey to mold me and shift my reality. These are the fruits of my spirit since reconnecting to His vine. I pray He uses this fruit for His good and glory.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 (NLT)
