Orange juice comparing - to the fruitages of spirit ! Gal. 5:22,23 read more...

[Queen Esther]

If you take an orange and gently peel it, what kind of juice comes out? …Orange juice.

If you put an orange through a grinder or a juicer what kind of juice comes out? …Orange juice.

If you take an orange and throw it against the wall, what kind of juice comes out? …Orange juice.

If you take an orange and cut it with a knife, what comes out? …Orange juice.

The only thing that can run out of an orange is what is already inside it.

Its the same with us as Christians...
If we have cultivated the fruit age of the spirit,  love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness & self control, that will not change – no matter how people treat us...

If they gently peel away your skin to reveal your sweet side... what's going to come out?…  Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness & self – control.

If they send you through a grinder or a juicer by means of trials and tribulations... What comes out? … love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness & self-control.

If you are slammed up against a wall of opposition, what comes out?…  If you have filled yourself with the fruit age of God's spirit,  it is   love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness & self control.

If someone attacks you verbally as with a knife...  what comes out?
It is what you already have inside you! Again – if we've worked hard to cultivate the fruit age of Jehovah's spirit, what will come out is   love, joy, peace, long–suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness & self control.

Just as the orange can only produce orange juice, regardless of the situation we are in, what we will 'pour out' is what we've already got stored inside us.
So if we have worked hard to cultivate the fruit age of Jehovah's spirit, what will come out – in any situation – is the fruit age of that spirit...
Who among us would not want to be more loving, joyful, and peaceable?

Who of us would not like to abound in long-suffering, kindness, and goodness?

Who of us would not benefit from developing greater faith, mildness, and self-control?

God’s spirit produces in us fine qualities that benefit us and those with whom we live and serve.
Cultivating this fruitage is a constant work in progress, since there is no limit to the amount of the spirit’s fruitage that we need and are permitted to produce.

It produces healthy fruitage in the lives of those who are led by it.
Galatians 5:22, 23

Queen Esther: I need orange ? juice today! More opposition and betrayal. Jehovah sees, yet I pray for more strength to endure and keep strong! We must keep calm and not worry, no matter what Satan throws at us, we draw strength from Jehovah.

Prayer is a must, study and meetings. They keep me focused on Jehovah and his will, not ourselves.

We are not alone. Just as Christ suffered all those living with godly devotion will also suffer.

Our family worldwide needs prayers and help from Jehovah. "He is satisfyingly the desire of every living thing." Soon we all will be in Paradise, that is oh such a gift of His Loyal Love for us, is it not? ???

 We don't say "fruitages".  Years ago we used to say "fruits of the spirit"; now we say fruitage of the spirit.  If we wish to isolate one quality the spirit produces, we say an aspect of that fruitage, e.g. love.  See article below.

*** w16 June pp. 9-10 par. 12 Appreciating Jehovah as Our Potter ***

12 Holy spirit is able to mold us in a number of ways. For instance, it can help us to develop a Christlike personality, which is characterized by the fruitage of God’s spirit. (Gal. 5:22, 23) An aspect of that fruitage is love. We love God and want to obey him and be molded by him, recognizing that his commandments are not burdensome. Holy spirit can also give us the strength to resist the molding influence of the world and its bad spirit. (Eph. 2:2) The apostle Paul, who as a young man was deeply influenced by the proud spirit of Jewish religious leaders, could later write: “For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.” (Phil. 4:13) So let us, like Paul, keep on asking for holy spirit. Jehovah will not ignore the sincere petitions of the meek.—Ps. 10:17.
