Walking in the Spirit
Walking in the Spirit
Memory Verse
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16 KJV)
Devotional Thought
Praise the Lord God Jesus and Good Morning, Church Family!
This week, I would like to share a few thoughts from our memory scripture in Galatians 5:16.
The Christian life is not meant to be lived in our own strength. Although many of us do this out habit of living in this present age. However, for the believer, the Lord God has given us His Holy Spirit to live inside us, to guide us, to empower us, and to transform us. For this reason, we are commanded to Walk in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit means living in daily dependence on Him rather than on our own wisdom or willpower.
Apostle Paul contrasts walking in the Spirit with living according to the flesh. The flesh represents our old sinful nature — the part of us that wants to live independently of God. When we walk in the Spirit, we choose to follow His leading instead of our natural desires.
This is not a passive experience. It requires intentional surrender. It means asking the Holy Ghost for wisdom before making decisions, inviting Him into our conversations, relying on His strength when we feel weak or tempted, and obeying His instructions when given. As we do this consistently, the Spirit produces His fruit in our lives and gives us power to overcome sin.
Many believers struggle because they try to live the Christian life without consciously depending on the Holy Spirit. Walking in the Spirit is the secret to consistent, joyful, victorious Christian living. This week, don’t do it on your own. Walk in the Spirit.
Reflection Questions
1.In what areas of my life am I relying on my own strength instead of the Holy Spirit?
2.What would it look like for me to walk in the Spirit more intentionally this week?
Prayer
Father, I thank you for your promise of your Spirit. I need your Holy Spirit today. Please teach me to walk in step with your Holy Spirit in total surrender. Fill me afresh and help me live in daily dependence on Your power and guidance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Your Action Step
Before making any decision this week, pause and ask for the Holy Spirit’s wisdom.
Have a wonderful week and remember: Live the SABBATH Way!
Many Blessings,
Pastor Jerry
