How to Bear Fruits of the Holy Spirit

The fruits can only be reaped when it is ripe. Keep watering your plant. In other words, we cannot bear fruit of the Holy Spirit unless we spend time with the Holy Spirit until our fruit comes to a certain maturity. It takes time, especially if you're just a baby Christian. We can't grow up overnight. Patience is key.

To learn to spend time with the Holy Spirit, read "Good Morning, Holy Spirit" by Benny Hinn. PDFs are available if you search for it.

To hear from God, ask Him a question, then close your eyes and wait for a book, chapter and verse number. And it takes time but you'll get it. Practice everyday. Accuracy will improve when you practice.

Couple Disagreements -- To Move or Stay Put?

It's not up to either of you nor is it our place to advice you. You both need to pray and seek the Lord for guidance on this. The Lord has led us as a family from one place to another. There is a time to move and there is a time to stay put. Ask the Lord for guidance. Also, submission to your husband and saving your marriage is more important than money. How to Pray: Both of you, go to a room, whether alone or together, close your eyes, ask God to give you guidance on whether to move or stay, and ask Him for a book, chapter and verse. Then wait for it with eyes closed. Wait for the book, chapter number and verse number. Read the whole chapter anyway, including the key verse. It's hard the first few times but you'll get it over time, do it everyday as devotion. Get a notebook or Google Drive to write down what God is saying. Then match your verse and understanding with his. After a few days, you kind of know where this is going.

No money for extra curricular classes

Perhaps try YouTube classes. We don't spend any money on co-ops or classes. Are there any free community classes in your area or at the library? What we did was run free classes ourselves. I run some at my home and some at the local library -- business classes, etc. so my kids have other kids to have classes with. Also, I babysit once a week and make sure it doesn't disrupt our schedule much. But what really brought in income for us was to sell furniture that we got for free. Sometimes, it doesn't need to be large furniture -- just items that people put out on the street and free items on Facebook marketplace

Single Female Ministers - Dating and Courtship

Hi there, this would have been me when I was 25. I was a pastor and single and can totally relate. I also had my own company at that time, which was like a tuition and homeschooling center while I was the children's ministry pastor and worship led at the main service and preached at youth services. Hearing God's voice is key. My husband was spiritually much younger than me. And 4 years younger as well. Before we got together, he was a Bible School student, and I was a Bible School lecturer. He also worked for me part time. His first language wasn't English and we couldn't really communicate well. He was from interstate. I knew his parents (church leaders) since I was young but we weren't friends then. So I guess you can say we met in Bible School but we were barely friends either because of the language barrier. But to cut the long story short, someone who questioned him revealed to me that he liked me so I prayed and fasted about it without him knowing that I knew...
