Fruit of Self-Control

This Fruit of Self-Control, a Holy Spirit, of the person of Holy Spirit, is the capstone and governor of all the previous. It is the strength of the will, submitted and empowered by God, to overcome the fallen power and carnal, self protecting will of the temperate mind and body.

Humanity, supernaturally designed by God to be the dominant created being in His grand design is separated from that perfect design by the rebellion and disobedience of t5 Mc Phe first created couple. A will out of control. The result being relegation to a merely natural existence in creation and a gulf of distance between itself and the  previously “super” relationship in had with God, leaving a huge desire to have back what was lost. Yet God, in His Fatherly great love, restores that relationship by sending His Begotten Son (note: not created) to make that reconnection in the full process of Christ. Jesus clothes Himself in the fallen flesh of humanity and takes on the full responsibility for the rebellion (which is death), and turns back to The Father God. The result is a battle of wills. The will of humanity to stand on its own and define God on its own terms (in fact rejecting God), or to willingly submit to God as loving Father and obey Him. Christ submits to the punishment by death at the hands of the very humanity that rebelled and rejected God in the first place. “The Just for the unjust”. Jesus Christ “self-controlled” Himself, against all temptations to save His carnal life (and ultimately die), in  order to return to the original design of creation by God and to be once again with God eternally.

Humanity now has access to that same power in and because of Christ. John 7:38-39 & John 14

Exercise the fruit of self-control in the Holy Spirit, and it will help you as you operate in the rest of them (Gal 5:22)

“Let your will be God’s will and He fulfills the desires of your created heart. To be once again eternally and supernaturally in the created design with God The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The fullness thereof never before remotely considered or thought of by any man but only (sovereignly) revealed in and by God Himself.”
