The Holy Spirit enables every believer to bear nine different fruit of the Spirit. This study reveals what they are and how each fruit enables others to be the very best they can be.

The Lord has planted you in the place where you are living in so He can bear fruit through you for His own glory and for the good of others who are being touched by your life (10 pages).
The Holy Spirit has placed spiritual gifts (also called grace gifts) in each believer at the moment of salvation. Thus, our sovereign God decides at salvation how He plans on using His new child to serve Him. These gifts are divine enablements whereby the Holy Spirit of God works through each believer to use him as a member of the body of the Church to serve all other members for the glory of God. This study is designed to help you determine your own gifts and how they can be used and, also to encourage you to dedicate the use of them to the Lord through the ministry of your church (13 pages).
