The Fruit of Faith is another reflection of the condition of your heart. Your belief system determines the person you become. When you live a life absent of faith, you open the door for doubt and unbelief. When you walk by sight, you're comparing the situation to your own ability to resolve it...you're taking the problem out of God's hand so you can attempt to solve it on your own. This is a recipe for failure.  * www.TheiBelievePodcast.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/earljr/support

Goodness isn't an action word, it's about your character. Who are you when no one is watching? Are your motives self-serving? Do you give with the expectation of reciprocation? Good deeds doesn't mean you're operating in goodness...you could be the biggest donor to a non-profit and cheat on your wife. Goodness is about the condition of your heart, not what you do on the surface!  iBelieve Devotionals are rooted in non-denominational Christian views.

The fruit of longsuffering is a fruit that we tend to avoid but we need it more than we think. To be longsuffering is to be patient during hardship and inconveniences. When we are in tough times, we tend to unravel but when we stand fast and endure the troubles we face, the bible says this type of perseverance develops good character and hope!  www.TheiBelievePodcast.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/earljr/support

Peace is a fruit that you'll already know if you have it or not. When we don't have peace, we're open to anxiety, stress and worry...all which can take root when you walk by sight rather than faith. This is one you need to hear! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/earljr/support

The Fruit of Joy is unique because it gives us the kind of strength that we need when trouble comes.

"Do I have good fruit or is my fruit rotten?" The answer to this question comes down to my walk with God. If I'm not connected to the True Vine, I won't produce good fruit. Good fruit is the tangible proof of the connection I have with Christ on the inside...the same can be said about the lack of fruit being proof of my disconnect with God! * iBelieve Devotionals are rooted in non-denominational Christian views.

Did you know that the best way to witness is through representation? How you live, act and move actually exposes if we are all talk or not. If we say we represent Christ but our actions aren't lining up to that statement, we're lying to ourselves! * The iBelieve Devotionals are rooted in non-denominational Christian views.  www.TheiBelievePodcast.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/earljr/support
