Hello Holy Spirit 11

This sermon focuses on the critical role of the Holy Spirit in developing godly character, specifically examining the fruit of long-suffering (patience) as one of nine characteristics God works to manifest in believers. The message emphasizes that patience is not optional but a commanded virtue essential for fulfilling the ministry of reconciliation.

Patience enables believers to interact effectively with both saved and unsaved people, helping them understand that people themselves are not the problem rather, it's the spirits working through them. True spiritual maturity requires developing patience to avoid manipulation, maintain love, and give people space to grow, just as God has been patient with us. Without this character development, believers cannot effectively reach a dying world or help others come to spiritual maturity.
