Living the Fruit of the Spirit 5

This sermon explores the fruit of joy as a critical source of spiritual strength and endurance in times of trouble. Joy is not dependent on circumstances but is a supernatural deposit from the Holy Spirit that enables believers to maintain strength, resist fear, and operate in faith. Joy, along with love and peace, forms the foundation for spiritual maturity and victory.

The message provides practical strategies for accessing and maintaining joy, including continuous praise and thanksgiving, resisting fear through righteousness, controlling one's imagination, and fighting the good fight of faith. The sermon stresses that a strong spirit sustained by joy enables believers to endure hardship, while a weak and broken spirit leaves them vulnerable to the enemy's attacks.
