Go And Bear Fruit

John 15:12-17

"12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other."

I want to focus on Verse 16 " You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." God chose US. God chose ME. God chose YOU. GOD CHOSE YOU! If that doesn't knock your socks off I don't know what will! God chose us and has commanded us to go and bear fruit. Now I am pretty sure that he isn't talking about grapes and apples. Fruit of the spirit. What are the fruits of the spirit?
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-control.

Over the next few days We are going to go over each of the fruits in more depth. If we do as God commands us to do, bear fruit, He tells us that he will give what we ask in His name. He will grant our prayers. Isn't that they whole point of us praying? To come to Him and ask Him to have His hand in a situation or life? I am pretty sure that he isn't telling us that he will give us everything that we ask for. Such as, I know that my daughter is praying for a Nintendo DS. I don't think thats what he is talking about. What do you ask him for? What Fruits do you grow?
