SELF-CONTROL: Fruits of the Holy Spirit | Two Hours of Worship Piano

Here are some thoughts I had while creating this music:

What comes to mind when I hear "self-control?"
Do I consider myself to be a person with self-control?

I sometimes think about self-control as the personal application of wisdom. It is one thing to know how to act, what to say, or what to think. It is another big step in the journey of a Christ-follower to consistently apply that knowledge into personal self-control.

If the Holy Spirit were to develop in me greater self-control today, what impact would that have on my life and especially on those around me? Would I be a better representation of Jesus?

This is something all Christ-followers wrestle with and can grow in. Consider what Paul wrote in Romans 7:15: "I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate."

I'm praying that God develops in me a humble spirit of self-discipline. Not for self-righteousness or to build up pride, but rather to be a more effective disciple of Jesus.

This is the ninth of nine videos in the series I've put together on the Fruits of the Spirit. As you draw closer to God, as you mature in your faith, and as you hear the call of Jesus, these nine attributes will grow in your life: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. Galatians 5:22. If you are growing in these areas, then you're drawing near to God, my friend!

**SCRIPTURE**

📖 Galatians 5:22-23 - But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

📖 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

📖 2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

📖 Proverbs 25:28
A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.

📖 Proverbs 16:32
Better to be patient than powerful;
better to have self-control than to conquer a city.

📖 1 Timothy 3:2-3
That’s why officials must have a good reputation and be faithful in marriage. They must be self-controlled, sensible, well-behaved, friendly to strangers, and able to teach. They must not be heavy drinkers or troublemakers. Instead, they must be kind and gentle and not love money.

📖 Titus 2:11-12
For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of all people. That grace instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this world,

📖 2 Peter 1:5-7
So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness,
and to goodness add understanding,
and to understanding add the strength of self-control,
and to self-control add patient endurance,
and to patient endurance add godliness,
and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,
and to mercy toward others add unending love.

Thank you again for listening. I love making this music for you, and I sincerely hope that this makes your day better and brings you closer to God. Let's encourage one another and make the world a better place today. Much love. ✌️

Hello Dan. I don't know if you will read this, but I love your fruit of the Spirit series. When I started listening to them I had a Gouldian finch named Kiwi who used to sing along with me while I was praising the Lord with your music. He was my singing little buddy. One of my favorites was "Joy" and he sang with me. But two weeks ago, he passed and it hurt so much that listening to it again was hard and made me sad because it reminded me of him. Then, about three or four days ago I came across this precious melody, Self Control and God made me smile again while listening to it. I felt the power of His healing presence like rivers flowing inside me. Now this is one of my favorites too. I want to thank you for making beautiful music that praises the Lord. And I thank Him for filling my heart once again with the joy of singing for him. I know that one day "Joy" will make me smile again as I find peace at the thought that he gave me the gift of my little bird for five wonderful years. God bless you!

My life is in such a mess, I cant even begin to understand or see how it can be fixed. But I'm learning to trust our Lord Jesus Christ, He will make a way when there seems to be NO way, and I will rely on Him alone to light my way. Thank you Lord, I love you.
Iv come back to update, that after fasting an prayer, my life is changing. I had to submit myself to the Lord, I can control nothing, the more I let control go, the more I could see his grace. The Lord is faithful. Amen

[johannaglory]

Very peaceful and didn't draw attention to the player
Thank you i'm listening this while reading my Bible!
Actually the most played music is yours playing hymns one and another one is Joseph Prince reading the healing scriptures. The top 2 played on my device almost every day!
Thank you so much! i play violin. really appreciate your music!

[reneewaits]

Dan's music is such a beautiful legacy that continues to bless me daily in my quiet time. Thank you for keeping his music available!

[graftedingrace]

I'm writing a devotional at the moment and I listen to your music every single time I write. I can't tell you how many people I've recommended your music to. My home is more peaceful because of these melodies and I find it easier to sense God's presence and pray to the Father when your music plays. It is a truly a gift that He has given you and I'm so thankful you accepted the call on your life. Thank you for blessing the Lord with your musical praises and filling my home with such beautiful worship music. The fruit of the spirit series is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you.

[habanagirl]

Thank you . The lord spoke to me today during my time with him and your beautiful music. Amen 🙏

[xintaoli]

Love it, helping me to be quiet and focus in study. God is always there. Hallelujah

[meredithmason]

I just discovered your channel as I play instrumental worship music while working, secret place time and sleep. I absolutely love that you did piano music to each fruit of the spirit. I saved all of them in a playlist to have continuous music throughout the day or night. Anointed music shifts the atmosphere and your piano music is certainly anointed. I am going to check out the rest of your channel and I subscribed today. I also lead intercession Zoom calls and am part of a mentoring ministry and will share them in our Facebook group. Thank you and God bless you my brother in Christ.

[idaselinahobbs]

Thank you so much. This music is just so beautiful. Glory to God Almighty!

[deelopez]

I am loving you're channel! In these uncertain and crazy times,  you're music gives me peace and calmness. Thank-you.

[jeonghoon]

I can feel your love for the church and the kingdom of God. Thank you.

[jochenarweiler]

Diese Komposition ist unübertroffen - für meinen Geschmack. Und voller Atmosphäre, die das Studium der Heiligen Schrift und der Predigten durch den Heiligen Geist unterstützt, die von Seinen Männern gehalten werden. Seine Heilige Gegenwart kommt sehr oft dazu. Ich frage mich, ob die Hörer wissen, was das bedeutet... Denn das war vor einigen Jahren noch nicht der Fall. Freunde, es lohnt sich, darüber mal nachzudenken.

[iamanovercomer]

A New season for the church - may your ♥️ be open to what God is doing 🙏🌎

[ДмитрийДемидов-щр]

Praise the Lord Jesus for your ministry. This is love that flows from heaven. Lyubov PAPY.P greetings from Ukraine. Shalom, Jesus is our Lord !!!!
