The faithfulness and self-control of the Apostles even after they had been flogged and imprisoned, gives Clem new confidence to be "faithful" and stand up for her faith at school.

Clem's teacher wants to learn more about God because of Clem's decision to stand up for God. When Harvey rescues some baby birds, he learns that gentleness and goodness are two "fruit" of the Holy Spirit that go together. -
"Love for others" is a powerful "fruit" of the Spirit. The characters learn that "Agape" love is doing what is best for others, even if it is hard for you to do. They all decide to show that kind of love to the people in the homeless shelter. Clem and Harvey give up their valuable things, but Zelda and Tina are selfish; they give old stuff that they don't want anymore. -
Peace and kindness are two powerful "fruit" of the Holy Spirit. Tina gives Harvey an "Action Hero" cape, and calls him "Spirit Boy."

After a power-outage, Pastor Rufus explains that the Holy Spirit is the third part of God that gives believers the power to live victorious Christian lives.

Through a study of the book of Acts, the children are introduced to the ministry of the Holy Spirit as He empowers the life of the believer. Clem becomes a Christian, and the “fruit,” or results, of the Holy Spirit’s presence in her life, provides opportunities for the children to learn what it means to have “Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Goodness, and Self-control” in our daily lives.
