We know that God has given us the desire and power to do what pleases Him because He told us, but not only that, the Holy Spirit within us bears witness. So how is it then that many of us still fall short when it comes to working out our salvation despite the fact that we've been equipped for every good work? Something's missing - discipline.

It's not enough to have the desire and power if we don't actually DO the work. It's almost like having a car with a full tank...with the engine off. If the gas in your tank is going to be of benefit to you, you've got to move.

Prior to recording this episode, when I ran through the fruit of the spirit highlighted in Gal 5:22-23, self-control/self-discipline jumped right out at me. I realized I had been so used to viewing that as the ability to stop myself from doing certain things that indulge the flesh. I hadn't quite thought about the fact that control comprises of what you DO do and what you DON'T do. Needless to say, I've got some major work that needs to be done in this area.

Holy Spirit made it clear to me that it's actually a deeper issue. Any area that I lack self-control(as with any other fruit of the spirit) is an area that is not fully yielded to God. Ouch, I know. It's a hard pill to swallow but it makes all the sense. When the Holy Spirit is leading and ruling, there is no choice but to bear its fruit.
