How do you KNOW if this ACTUALLY works Galations

🌬️ *HOW DO YOU KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ACTUALLY WORKING IN YOU?* A Pentecost Sunday teaching from Galatians 5:16–25 Every honest believer eventually asks this question: *“How do I know the Holy Spirit is actually at work in me?”* Not merely, “Does God love me?” — Romans 8 gives believers confidence in His love. But how do you know the Spirit is producing something real in your life, rather than simply giving you religious vocabulary? In Galatians 5, Paul gives us a visible contrast: The *works of the flesh* are evident. The *fruit of the Spirit* is also evident. The question is not whether you have ever stumbled. The question is: *What pattern is being practiced, and what fruit is increasingly being produced in you?* 📖 *KEY VERSE* “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” — Galatians 5:22–23 NKJV ⏱️ *TIMESTAMPS* (update after upload) 00:00 ▸ Welcome + the question every honest believer asks 00:00 ▸ Why Pentecost Sunday matters 00:00 ▸ The works of the flesh vs. the fruit of the Spirit 00:00 ▸ The Greek word that changes everything: prassontes 00:00 ▸ Contrast 1 — Love vs. Hatred ❤️ 00:00 ▸ Contrast 2 — Joy vs. Outbursts of Wrath 😊 00:00 ▸ Contrast 3 — Peace vs. Contentions 🕊️ 00:00 ▸ Contrast 4 — Longsuffering vs. Selfish Ambition ⏳ 00:00 ▸ Contrast 5 — Kindness and Goodness vs. Envy 🤝 00:00 ▸ Contrast 6 — Faithfulness vs. Idolatry 🛐 00:00 ▸ Contrast 7 — Self-Control vs. Drunkenness 🔥 00:00 ▸ Honest self-examination: what to do with what you see 00:00 ▸ This week’s applied step 🦶 🙏 *PRAY WITH US — Confidential Prayer Request* 👉 https://staytheway.com/teachings/frui... 🎯 *PLAY ALONG — Fruit or Flesh Bingo* 👉 https://staytheway.com/teachings/frui... 🧠 *TEST YOURSELF — 8-Question Quiz* 👉 https://staytheway.com/teachings/frui... ❓ *QUESTIONS THIS TEACHING ANSWERS* • How do I know if the Holy Spirit is working in me? • What does Galatians 5 actually mean? • What is the difference between the flesh and the Spirit? • How can I tell whether my faith is producing real fruit? • What does it mean to walk by the Spirit? • Why is the fruit of the Spirit important? • How should a Christian respond when the flesh is still visible? ✅ *THIS WEEK’S APPLIED STEP* Choose *one* of the seven contrasts.
