WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

Scripture: Galatians 5:24-25 “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

    The text today tells us to walk in the Spirit.  The struggle of the flesh against the Spirit is a real battle. The only way to win the victory in this battle is to walk in the Spirit.  But how do we do that?  Here are some thoughts that may help you with that. 
    First of all walking in the Spirit is a daily walk.  Luke 9:23 says, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”  It’s something we don’t just do occasionally, but every day!  
    Then, it is a determined walk.  We need to determine that we want to live a spirit filled life.  Make up your mind that you want God and the things of God more than anything else!  Then begin to walk in the Spirit. 
    This walk is a dedicated walk.  It requires that you be committed to it.  If you are willing to commit to walking in the Spirit, then you won’t let anything stand in your way.
    It is a delightful walk.  In Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”  The walk in the Spirit will bring delight to your soul. 
    Then walking in the Spirit is a different walk.  1 Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:” We have something as believers in Christ that no one else has.  He has given us His Spirit.
    Make up your mind that you are going to walk in the Spirit.  Determine that you are going to live a life that is pleasing to Him and pointing others to Him.
