Activity 4.4: Fruit and Fire – A Spiritual Growth Plan

1. Reflection:

   • Spend time reflecting on the Fruit of the Spirit. Which fruits are most evident in your life? Which ones need more cultivation?

2. Set Goals:

   • Identify one specific area where you want to grow (e.g., patience, kindness).
   • Write down practical steps you’ll take to cultivate this fruit daily.

3. Plan for Boldness:

   • Create a plan for sharing your faith or using your gifts in a specific context (e.g., leading a prayer group, helping in a community project).
   • Pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance and strength as you carry out this plan.

4. Submit Your Plan:

   • Share your spiritual growth plan with your instructor or a trusted mentor for accountability and encouragement.

Reflection Questions

3. How will you rely on the Holy Spirit to empower you in your calling this week?

Encouragement

Living a Spirit-filled life is a journey, not a destination. The same Spirit who empowered the early church is alive and active in you today. Trust Him to guide, equip, and sustain you as you live boldly for Christ. Remember, the world is waiting for Spirit-filled believers to shine the light of Christ in every corner.
