Discipline

Fruit isn’t recognized until it manifests.  The Holy Spirit will lead you into all reality so expect manifestation of fruit as you are led by THE SPIRIT.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

13 But when the Truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within you. He won’t speak on His own, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me on the earth, for He will receive from Me what is Mine and reveal it to you. 15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal it to you. 16 Soon you won’t see Me any longer, but then, after a little while, you will see Me in a new way.”

And Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

21 Those who truly Love Me are those who obey My commands. Whoever passionately Loves Me will be passionately Loved by My Father. And I will passionately Love him in return and will reveal Myself to him.”

There are greater things that Our Heavenly Father wants to do to you and through you.  We have to remove pride and resistance in order to be fully led by The Holy Spirit and produce greater fruit than Jesus in our earthly walk.  Love in Its perfect expression is discipline

When The Holy Spirit instructs us to say or do something, we should do so without hesitation.  Procrastination is one aspect of the lack of discipline.  Whatever is causing delay must be rooted out and dealt with in order to be fully submitted to The Holy Spirit.

FATHER determines our boundaries and we are to stay within those boundaries.  This is one form of discipline.  When we find out what is in our individual books written in Heaven, our progressive boundaries are included and we are meant to walk in discipline and not pursue anything outside our boundaries.  FATHER may expand those boundaries and reveal that expansion after we reach a certain level of maturity.

As I walk in full discipline to the commands of Jesus, I produce more fruit for the Kingdom and people will see the fruit and be drawn to this fruitfulness.  They will see that I have something they lack.

David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 16:

5 Yahweh, You alone are my inheritance.

    You are my prize, my pleasure, and my portion.

    You hold my destiny and its timing in Your hands.

6 Your pleasant path (boundary lines) leads me to pleasant places.

    I’m overwhelmed by the privileges

    that come with following You!

Our boundaries include what Jesus expects of us in Mark chapter 16:

17 “And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of My Name. They will speak in tongues. 18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”

We are meant to fulfill this command of Jesus.  As we continue to walk in full discipline to the instruction of The Holy Spirit, He will fully prepare us to walk in this fruitfulness Jesus expects from each true believer.  Let us not shy away from this expectation but instead embrace it.  Set this as a personal goal.  Discipline yourself to respond quickly to whatever The Holy Spirit is saying. 

Enter into your Secret Place (Psalm 91) at the beginning of the day to find out what your priorities are for the day.  Write them down if need be.  You will become spiritually disciplined which will allow your boundaries to expand and encompass more ground for The Kingdom.  Your fruitfulness will spread beyond your greatest expectation!
