Do you want to know without doubt that you have received the gift of Holy Spirit? You can and will know with certainty when you recognize fruit at work within you as God intended it to work. Numbers have meanings to God beyond their numerical values. The prophets and apostles knew this. Sometimes prophecy came forth from their lips in an order of priority. Sometimes the order of items in list form came forth in harmony with God's use of numbers. The revelation of fruit of the spirit was given in harmony with God's numbers. Their particular order enhances our understanding of how each fruit works. The divine placement of each fruit presents a recipe on how to grow in the spirit and produce fruit. God has given us a roadmap for understanding spiritually the operation of the fruit of the spirit. He has revealed each fruit in a specific order so that we can better grasp its purpose and dimensions. I have found that mixing the order of the fruit of the spirit takes away the imprint that God has placed on each fruit. "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call, (Acts 2:39)."
