    Fruit of the spirit (peace, joy, hope, righteousness) spiritual gifts. He gives us wisdom, knowledge, understanding. He prays with us and for us. He intercedes for us. He gives us the rebirth. He creates a clean heart. He helps us remember The Word. You become ashamed of past sins and want to live for him. You long to learn.

    New heart

    Jeremiah 31

    31. “The time is coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
    32. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD.
    33. “This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Prayerful and worshipful! and do the great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  48. Mike Faulkner says:

    Another question. Are there any particular things in each of your lives you can point to that were evidences other could see that something had changed you?

  49. Toni Armstrong says:

    Acts 3:19
    [19]Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

    The refreshing is the Holy Spirit and Isaiah prophecied of it saying

    Isaiah 28:11-12
    [11]For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
    [12]To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

    1 Corinthians 14:15-16
    [15]What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
    [16]Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he
    understandeth not what thou sayest?

    Praying in the Spirit is praying in tongues The understanding is your native tongue

    Ephesians 6:18
    [18]Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

    Jude 1:20
    [20]But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

    How do you pray in the Spirit And how do you know you have it and when you received it?

    Belief in Christ.

  52. Randy Emmons says:

    You don’t have to look for things like ‘speaking in tongues’ or trying to figure out if you have the fruits of the Spirit.
    Do you believe?
    You have the Spirit.

    1 Corinthians 12:3. “Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is raccursed!” and sno one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.”

    The litmus test for a person who has the Holy Spirit is that he fully agrees with: “For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.” Romans 2:13 All of those not in a union with the Holy Spirit, but erroneously assert they are, contest the validity of Romans 2:13
