We can all nourish the the Holy Spirit within us by reading and studying the words of the Holy Bible, it contains the very words of God which are mighty and bring faith by hearing and life by believing. When scriptures is written on our hearts and we live by them we are filled with the Spirit. The Bible is the inspired word of God, written and preserved by the Holy Spirit, the living word.
Ephesians 6:3 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand... 17, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
When man lives not on bread alone, but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, arm ourselves to do battle against the devil and to yield every kind of good work as the fruit of the Spirit. Man is often likened to a tree: we hear of gentiles grafted in to the tree of life with the root being God, and any bad bits that come out are pruned back to increase the harvest of good fruits.
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Meditating day and night in the law of the Lord brings forth both fruit and prosperity. The water is figurative for the Holy Spirit flowing through the tree and into the fruit to make it good and juicy.
Isaiah 32:15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
There are many different fruits that the Holy Spirit yields from dry wilderness, continue to let God water you with his words, plunge into the keep growing and yielding increasingly bigger and better fruits in him.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
