Resisting the predator of spiritual fruit requires constant vigilance and a proactive approach to nurturing the fruit within us. The adversary seeks to destroy or corrupt the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, but through the power of the Holy Spirit, believers can stand firm against such attacks. By remaining connected to the vine, which is Christ, and by being filled with the Spirit daily, one can protect and even multiply the fruit in their lives. This spiritual battle is won through prayer, scripture, and a steadfast commitment to living in obedience to God's will.
"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8 ESV
