QUOTE BOB JONES:  SELF DISCIPLINE, A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

www.bobjones.org/

Gal 5:22-26 NKJV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

“...And so He gave me a teaching on this. The only thing that you can give the Lord is the fruit of the Spirit. Everything else He gives. The fruit of the Spirit is character.

SELF CONTROL
This was the grapefruit. It is again the grape, being loyalty and bearing fruit. It was big, both sweet and sour. Sweet staying focused on the Lord and sour, putting to death the old man every day. And self control means having control over one’s emotions. It’s when you are in charge and staying focused on Him. Having control over your own emotions...”

RHEMA 5/09/08  KEEPING WATCH IS AWARENESS AND PAYING ATTENTION

HEARD:  I am setting you free.

HEARD:  Keeping watch.  Am I asking you to watch all day?  Just be aware and pay attention.  Balance.

Word to ponder:  balance and discipline in keeping watch 5/06/08

When I call you to be a watchman, I AM asking you be aware of the happenings around you and pay attention.  I AM not asking you to live a monk style life of being withdrawn and isolated. 

Maintain self discipline to keep a record of My Words and stay alert so when I quicken outside sources, you will see how they were meant to fit the road map I AM sending you.  Understanding is generated through putting many pieces together and the more you study the scripture and My personal Words to you, the more you will understand.  Stay disciplined as you learn to abide in hopeful expectation for My Words that are on their way to your door.

Isa 21:5-6 NKJV

Prepare the table, Set a watchman in the tower, Eat and drink. Arise, you princes, Anoint the shield!  For thus has the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees."
