Jesus Said, "I'am the vine - you are the branches. If you remain in me - you will bear fruit" John 15
The Fruit of the Spirit is Love Joy Peace Paitence Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness and Self Control
If we stay connected with Jesus and the Holy Spirit - Fruit Happens!!
But we also remember Jesus words - "Apart from me you can do nothing!"
In Mathew 7 Jesus also talks about a tree bearing fruit with quite starteling comments (have a read!!).
He alludes to people being able to do all sorts of amazing things - prophecy, miracles, drive out deamons - and still not be connected to Him!! Braches that maybe looking great - but not actually producing the fruit that God wants - because they are remaining with either themselves, or the world or evil rather than remaining in an intimate love relationship with Jesus Christ.
As we do this 60/30 challenge - it's not about doing more stuff. Its about growing closer to God. Staying connected in a living relationship with Jesus 24/7. Talking, listening and obeying over and over and over again. Walk and talk with your savior
