WHAT KIND OF "FRUIT" ARE YOU SOWING?

WHAT KIND OF 'FRUIT' ARE YOU SOWING?

Matthew 7:17-20 (New Living Translation)

A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.

Galatians 6:7 (Amplified Bible)

Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.      

Are you aware that if you want to reap a harvest of 'good' fruit, you have to sow (plant) 'good' seed? You get (reap) what you plant! In other words, you cannot expect to plant an apple seed, and reap a harvest of grapes! What you put in, is what you get out!

That is true for our spiritual lives as well! What you put into your mind is what will eventually come out..... In other words, if you daily feed upon the Word of God (thereby PLANTING 'good' seed), you'll begin to think "God's thoughts." Those thoughts take root in your mind and heart, and eventually become faith filled words which you speak out of your mouth....what you speak out of your mouth, becomes what you eventually act upon...and what you act upon becomes your reality! You will produce 'good fruit.' What power our thoughts and words possess! WHAT KIND OF FRUIT ARE YOU SOWING?
 
If you want kindness in your life, be kind to others! If you want love, be loving to others. If you want a good friend, be a good friend to someone else! Again, you get what you put in!
 
That being stated, the opposite is true as well! If we 'feed' on negativity, for example: Watching ungodly movies, listening to ungodly music, get advice from the wrong people,  or hang in the wrong places or with the wrong crowd, etc., those things take root in our hearts and minds, and produce 'bad' fruit in our lives! WHAT KIND OF FRUIT ARE YOU SOWING? 
 
The fruit you bear comes from the seeds you have sown! Be sure to sow 'good' seeds! Remember that GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED! You may appear to be getting away with sin- or you may know others who seem to be, but God sees it ALL! WHAT KIND OF FRUIT ARE YOU SOWING?

Galatians 5:19-24 (Amplified Bible)

Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency,    idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies), envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
 
But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law that can bring a charge]. And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires.
 
SO WHAT KIND OF FRUIT ARE YOU SOWING?!!!!
