Fruit Of The Spirit ........... For ? :)

Mark @ 2:02am:
Wakey! Prayed, rebuked anything not of God then submitted to the Holy Spirit's leading.

God:
Galatians 5:23

Mark (Nicely tucked in bed):
Yup I know it talks about the fruit of the Spirit ...must I really switch on the lights and read the verse?

After a quick struggle, I humbled myself, obeyed the Holy Spirit and read Galatians 5, expounding on verse 23.
Galatians 5:23 (NIV)
23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

In time, I had a very brief vision like was in a womb of some sort. Then I also briefly saw a very little hand with some fingers. Although not fully formed, I knew it was a hand with fingers. The queer thing was that the colour of the hand and fingers were not like that of a normal human but it was a bright luminouscent white. It was very confusing at first but I knew it was the hand and fingers of a fetus I had briefly seen.

This all didn't make sense at first, but soon I was impressed to pray the fruit of the Spirit (v22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control...) into what I knew would be our unborn child! God was teaching me to claim and pray these Christ-like attributes for my unborn child! Amazing! I then continued to pray for God to set apart our unborn child for his kingdom purposes. Soon v23 (gentleness and self-control) made sense. It was for me to claim and pray upon myself . These were part of the attributes I would need to exercise and nurture doing Wendy's pregnancy stages. I ended with thanksgiving and praying for protection for each stage of the pregnancy that Wendy would have to go through; that God's Favour, Protection and Glory would always surround this family and its new member!

Mark@ 3:02am
God ..... when ......... :)
