Acts of the Flesh & The Fruit of the Spirit - Bishop T.D. Jakes [May 20, 2020] 

THIS IS THE KIND OF PREACHING THAT THE CHURCH NEEDS TO GET BACK TO!!!

I was long time a Christian but the WOORD IS clear

OMG why did this prayer make me cry?! I know this is the Holy Spirit because life hardened me...it hardened my spirit....made me cover up the person who I genuinely am because I didn’t want people to see me weak but inside I was a hot mess! Thank you Jesus for your mercy and grace on me during the messiest times of my life. I am unashamed to come naked before you so that you can continue to do a great work in me! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💗💗💗💗🔥😭

God is not here to serve you...you are here to serve God ...

I have more dying to do.....WHEW!! So thankful God is not finish with me yet. New Grace and Mercy God gives to me each day. Thankful to be on the wake up list today with another opportunity to get it right. Thanks Bishop!!

Thank you Lord. This is perhaps the best Bible Study Bishop has preached

I love that the greater part of this message was about the fruit of the spirit. The greater our focus on something, the more magnified it is. Focus on the spirit, focus on Jesus and live a transformed life. I love you all, sincerely. God bless you Bishop.

I so enjoy bible study under your teaching. Thank you Bishop Jàkes for your commitment to God and His Word. I am benefitting from your ministry. May God continue to bless your ministry and family.

“I don’t want anything that God doesn’t want for me” 🙌🏾

I haven't listen to Bishop in a while and I regret it now. All these preachers to listen too but he is consistently on point. He teaches like no other. This message opened my eyes.

God gives words to this man that has changed my life! I have strong testimonies. Praying to meet you one day ♥️😇💪

Yes, I don't want what God is not giving, all I want is what he apotioned for me..... hallelujah!!!

THIS MESSAGE IS A CONFIRMATION FOR ME! THANK YOU LORD FOR EXPLANING IT TO ME! AMEN!

My absolute favorite teaching from the Bishop 🙏🏾

Bishop Jakes could preach from a dark closet & still touch your spirit. Appreciate being able to praise God with you all. I love you all. Waiting for the 7th trumpet

Amen.We are no longer controlled by our sins but we have the Spirit of Christ who give us victories against every work of the flesh and the devil.

Pray for people who are incarcerated. Holy Spirit Fire in hearts Pray the light shine on what is happening in our prisons. Abuse of power and abuse of people. Lord help them

Supernatural Christian Maturity indeed Amen! Teach it! Let's all get up jump up & down & shout aloud & take over these lands shining our Lords Love light!!!!

TD JAKES...YOU ARE RIGHT ON.....ITS' LONELY AT THE TOP WHEN ONE CHOSES TO LIVE THU THE SPIRIT, BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT!!! THERE IS NOTHING IN THE FLESH/ WORLD THAT COMES CLOSE TO COMPARE TO OUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. AMEN

have you ever been watching bishop jakes and thought he was talking RIGHT to you!!

All I can do is pray for my loved ones and do what GOD instructs me to do according to HIS WORD....THE RESULTS THEREOF ARE WITHIN THE HANDS OF GOD as much as it hurts waiting I WILL TOTALLY TRUST IN THE LORD WHO HAS NOT FAILED ME YET!!!

Ah this is good... and people say TD Jakes doesn’t preach on sin... but ah .... we need it more of this. Thank you Sir! No man is perfect but we try to walk in the fruits of the spirit. Hallelujah!!!!

When seriously walking The Christian Walk you want to be Godlike.. Paul said, "I Die Daily".

What a dash of love will do, Yes Sir, the power of loving people, the power of caring, the best gift anyone can have, loving like Jesus, is so rewarding.

It’s great to hear the scriptures broken down without a lot of hype- just raw teaching. This is awesome!

Thank you Lord. I woke up this morning asking God to speak to me and guide me in the way he see fit and through this message I am able to hear him loud and clear. Bishop I humbly thank you for being God's messenger. This is what I needed to hear. Amen.

This was so good! Blessed me so much this morning… “A bell and a pomegranate” let me not abuse my gifts with my flesh but uplift them by living according to God’s word to be more fruitful

Thank you Lord for your word.Move me out the way deliver me from my week flesh straighting me as I try to do your will.Keep my loved ones safe saved and protected.Pray for the leader's of this 🌎.Keep me in prayer I love You Lord.Amen

Seek ye 1st the kingdom of GOD and all of His RIGHTEOUSNESS and all of these things shall be added unto you....

A Bell and a Pomegranate, A Bell and a Pomegranate. Bishop Jakes I really thank God for this message, I really needed this today because I felt like I was in a deep warfare this morning and I stumbled upon this message . I want and I need the Lord like I never have before. I dare not despise the fruits of the spirit. I want to be whole again and walk in the obedience of the Lord. I just keep hearing this in my head that you said, A bell and a pomegranate. God Bless you Bishop

This word was right on time! I know that God truly loves me when he sends a word like this. Because He chastened those whom he loves. Lord I thank you for the word!

I say to the Lord,, Lord bless my eyes to see beauty in everyone.my ears to hear only good,& and walk away from what is not good..my tongue and lips to speak with salted words...for this is my sincere desire in pleasing you ..lord God .that I my put a smile on your face today...in Jesus name,my Savior...amen

Thank you for your guidance. We need to abide by literally living the word of GOD. BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD AND GOD BLESS YOU.

Bishop TD Jakes, I have been saved 25 years. As a young Christian, in a Southern Baptist church my life was changed, but I learned the hard way what kind of damage dogmatic teaching is capable of. I worked my way back into the world and came back again into churches of all denominations and after years of disappointments went back out into the world yet again. I had a head knowledge and could quote scripture but didn’t know how to conform to the word. I was not in a place where I could rightly divide the word. A couple of months ago I left a toxic lesbian relationship of almost 7 years. As I began my journey back to God, I began digging into the teachings and sermons you have been serving. I’m a little late to the table, but I’m here, I’m eating, and digesting and growing in my prayer life, I’m in my Bible more and ended a job of eight years that I hated, and I did it because God told me to! I actually could hear His voice for the first time ! I’m now busy restructuring my life and work and letting God order my steps. Thank you for feeding God’s children. It matters!

Time to go to work....believe pray and activate....I receive the release....I'm not perfect but I receive right now in the name of JESUS and make motion for actual change i my life allday everyday

Never allow anyone to change my heart Jesus led me through my my healing process I’m uniquely me through my Lord and Savior I received that message thank you🙌🏽

Woow this word 🔥 💯 I experienced some extream church hurt and I allowed how they did me to alter my heart posture towards people. I decided that I was not gonna be nice and forgiven to fast and be more protective of my heart and measure the amount of love I give out to people. This message helped me to see and understand that I should not let people and sercomstanses to change my heart and attitude towards life and people. Daddy I need you defend me protect me guide me trough this journey called life with people.

We, as children of God, have to have a willingness to be broken and reset so that God can do great work in our lives. It coincides with dying to your flesh, giving up earthly desires, giving up your wants, and walking into what God wants for you.

"The fruits of THE SPIRIT cancel out the filthiness of the flesh--" This was PHENOMENAL!!!

Dearest Bishop Jake, I was lead, yes by the Holy Spirit to watch this video. Wrestling with my flesh earlier today after have such a wonderful morning in prayer and devotion, I did know what to dont with my feelings. But a small voice said,look at this video and I'm so so glad I did, you where speaking to me and I so appreciate your teaching and helping to build up folk like myself, I accept and agree with your closing prayer, and look forward to what garment God is making for me, Thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

When I tell you this blessed me. God is so awesome. A GIFT AND A FRUIT🙌🏾. God bless you Bishop Jakes💕

All we need is LOVE! Amen. We pray everyone receives an abundance of love tonight Lord. May they have hope because of love, joy because of love, understanding because love. I pray that they will feel loved and then portray love to others God. You are great, you are great oh Lord. Amen 🙏🏽

This was such a timely word. I questioned being kind and compassionate with the feeling of being inadequate to play the role I have been called for. I compared myself to others and thought I should be tougher but praise God He has spoken to me today 🙌🏾 what I almost emulated is not the fruit of the Spirit

COMING INTO my SEASON IN JESUS NAME ,,, GLORY HALLELUJAH YOUR MERCY ENDURES FOREVER even unto a thousand generations ,,

Bud, blossom, fruit: Relationship. You cannot be Fruitful alone!

Since I was a child I could memorise the verses on the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22-24). This Bible study just revealed why. Thank you Bishop Jakes. GOD has truly annointed you to speak the word into our lives. Thank you.

God knows I need this message. Thank you Lord

Yessssss...I only want what God wants for me...In the Mighty Name of Jesus...His will not mine!!!! I'm done trying my own will. Tired. Real talk Bishop...ty your teaching is changing my life!!!! ALLELUIA

Awesome message of God. I love the word of God. Thank you Bishop Jakes, you’re an awesome teacher of the Word

Hallelujah praise God his mercies are new every day we get the practice walking in obedience God wants obedience man confused about a sacrifice glory be to God for obedience being better than sacrifice

The WORD IS THE SOAP from impurities

Bishop, this is the best teaching I’ve ever experienced as a Christian. I’ve been saved since 1994. This teaching blessed me to acknowledge the fight of the flesh vs. spirit and now have strategies to win each day. Bless you Bishop.

Sooooo I needed this , this is for me !! I’ve been celibate , && chile .. I was definitely tried sooooo bad , God wouldn’t let it go thruuu though ... && then on top of that me && my sister been definitely into it && I had to keep it to myself to keep from sowing discord ... God is good && I’m sooooo glad he afflicted me ... because now I know the statues of my God 🦋💜 I thank God for showing grace && mercy ... because the spiritual warfare has been real , && I had to actually make a conscious effort to do right & I thank God for this message ! JESUS 👏🏾

What a wonderful thing to be delivered from people! Thank you Lord Jesus!!

The best message I have ever heard from TD Jakes

This is the second time I was walking around the house listening to a sermon from TD Jakes and decided to flip through my bible and unknowingly it landed on Proverbs 21:5 I read that first…..then went back to 21:1 to read it all. Miraculously it read the same exact discussion we are currently listening to “Now” 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤WOW!!!! What does that mean?????

We keep cleansing ourselves from all filtiness of the flesh And the filtiness of the spirit.

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Good preaching and encouragement. Bravo Bishop Jakes.

Thank you Bishop, I need to stop hating the fact that I’m nice and doing good where there’s no appreciation🙌🏼

God has designed me to forgive others as He has forgiven me AND to throw offences into the sea of forgetfulness. I always thought this was a fault in me until recently but as I get closer to Him I see myself in my Dad. I've asked God for all spiritual gifts and I believe He has given them to me. There are nine spiritual gifts and nine fruit of the Spirit! Thank you for that word of knowledge Bishop! God is making a robe for me! Each gift covered by His fruit! Thank you Lord for "designing my heart to be blessed"! ❤

Cleanse us Jesus 🙏🏽🙏🏽. Thank you God for using Bishop TD Jakes for this word. May God bless you always 👏🏽👏🏽

If you don’t have love, you don’t have ANYTHING!❤

This bible study was such a refreshing perspective when it comes to the fruit of the Spirit especially when it comes to the relationship between the fruits and the gifts of the Spirit. The belt and the pomegranate that part took me out 🔥🔥🔥 God bless you sir

I Love you Bishop because you calls me into the Deepness of the Word of God.

TD Jakes “The Acts of the Flesh & The Fruit of the Spirit

I'm calling you to something higher than you previously known. Do not repay evil with good but do good to those who hate you

Thank you for your message..Thank God for truly knowing all our motives and intents of the heart.

YES! Love is the key...Jesus is Love. We are to strive to be like him.

Love Love Love; without LOVE I dont have anything not stocks bonds annuity

It takes more strength to live by the Spirit of the Living God. You aren't strong because you're ignorant. I struggled with it for years, now I understand more and more. God bless everyone and Bishop Jakes the more in Jesus name.

THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN BUILT AND THE UNDERSTAND CAME SUDDENLY......PRAIS GOD...BEEN DONE.

Wow! A bell and a pomegranate. The gifts and the fruit of the Spirit!

AMEN Bishop TD. Jakes We must not allow the flesh to have full total control, Crucifying the flesh keeps you focus on things of LORD GOD-Jesus Hallelujah, And stand your ground in LORD GOD-in Lord Jesus Name, I Purposed my self on Godly Principles And not allow People to Redirect my path of Righteousness, BECAUSE their not growing the fruit of the Spirit, separate yourself ppl, places and things, Hallelujah 🙌🙌🙌🙌🌄

Bishop Jakes, I've listened to this sermon twice now, going on a third. This is so divine. Its a word that was deposited into my spirit 1 year ago, via a dream and then again recently in another dream, and now you've confirmed exactly what I experienced not only in my dream but in my secret prayers. I am truly astonished by how Elohim continues to use you as His messenger. Praise the LORD for He is worthy to be praised. P.S. In our home and throughout our family, you're known as Uncle Jakes and I truly feel that you've been prepared for such a time as this. Much Love and Peace!!

Those who speak on their own authority are trying to gain glory for themselves but the one who sent him is honest

I'M READY TO DELIVER THIS BABY...ARE YOU READY TO RECEIVE IT...A NEW POWER...STRENGTH FROM ON HIGH... BOLDNESS AND MAGIC...

Thank you Pastor Jakes!!! Our spirits do not age!!!

Thankyou LORD I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS

Amen!!! Great sermon!! Thank God your a teacher of His word.. prayers for Bishop and his family. Thank You for this sermon...I so needed this!!!!

The most powerful battle for me is I’ve been going thru this battle and lately me and god been winning unnoticeable doing the change and receiving confirmation that i won the battle again when the enemy tried to pull me again #thank u god AMEN..soon my story would be told

Thank you for challenging me. Thank you for helping me understand that I am unbalanced.
