  1. 9 Secrets of Healthy Relationships

  2. The Fruit of the Spirit

  3. Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

  4. Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT) 22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.

  5. Joy Part Three

  6. Nowhere in the Bible does God advise us to pursue happiness!

  7. Three Relationship Killjoys

  8. 1 Selfishness

  9. Selfishness says, I want what I want

  10. James 4:1-2 (TEV) Where do all the fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your desires for pleasure, which are constantly fighting within you.

  11. James 4:1-2 (TEV) You want things, but you cannot have them, so you are ready to kill; you strongly desire things, but you cannot get them, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it.

  12. James 3:16 (NLT) For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and every kind of evil.

  13. 2 Resentment

  14. Resentment says, I won’t forgive you

  15. Hebrews 12:15 (LB) Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.

  16. Proverbs 11:29 (LB) The fool who provokes his family to anger and resentment will finally have nothing worthwhile left.

  17. 3 Fear

  18. Fear says, I don’t trust you anymore

  19. Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV) Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.

  20. 1 John 4:18 (NKJV) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

  21. Fear in a relationship makes me … • Defensive • Distant • Demanding

  22. Joy in a relationship doesn’t come from receiving, it comes from giving!

  23. Acts 20:35b (CEV) Remember that our Lord Jesus said, “More blessings come from giving than from receiving.”

  24. Philippians 4:4 (KJV) Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

  25. Hebrew Words for “JOY” … • Simchah – bright and shining • Masos – leaping for joy • Rinnah – shouting for joy • Giyl – spinning for joy

  26. Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV) The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

  27. Psalm 16:11 (KJV) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

  28. John 16:24 (NKJV) Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
