TOPIC:โจWALKING IN THE SPIRIT IS THE ANSWERโจ
๐...Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
The solution to the challenges associated with the flesh, the world, and temptation is heeding the definitive instruction from the Word of God to walk in the Spirit. From some of our earlier studies, we observed that the flesh operates by desire, the world by influence, and temptation by internal inclination.
But thereโs a higher life in Christ. When you walk in the Spirit, His life thatโs inherent in your recreated human spirit is expressed effortlessly. Thatโs why He didnโt call us to fight the flesh, the world, or the devil but to simply live according to our nature. The flesh has been crucified (Galatians 5:24), youโve overcome the world (1 John 5:4), and the devil is defeated (Hebrews 2:14).
Walking in the Spirit, therefore, is not a struggle; itโs the expression of your true nature. Itโs walking in the Word, where the fruits of the spiritโlove, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperanceโflow naturally from within you. This is the life of the Christian. Christianity isnโt a religion, and itโs not a struggle with sin, the flesh, or the devil; itโs the transcendent life in Christ. Itโs the unveiling and manifestation of the Christ-nature in you. Hallelujah!
Youโre not called to battle the flesh, the world, or the devil. Youโre called to live the life of the Spirit. As you give yourself to the Word and yield to the Holy Spirit, His life in you gains the ascendancy over the flesh. Therefore, walk in the Spirit, consciously and consistently, expressing your true nature in Christ; in doing so, you rise above all limitations and live triumphantly every day.
๐ CONFESSION
I walk in the Spirit, conscious of my divine nature in Christ, and I manifest His glory and righteousness. I live by the power of the Spirit. The life of Christ is expressed in and through me, producing love, joy, peace and excellence. I walk in victory every day, fulfilling Godโs purpose for my life. Hallelujah!
