Walk in the Spirit...!

Galatians 5:16-18, 24-25 NKJV

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. And those who  are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Shalom! Day #16. Do you know that the Spirit of God in us is constantly in battle with our flesh? Let's pray. Father, as we come to You daily, help us that we may crucify the desires of our flesh and yield to Your Spirit more. Let us not give in to our fleshy desires. Help us Holy Spirit to overcome it. Thank You Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

It is important for you to know that you are walking in what. A Spirit led life is a successful life. If you walk in the Spirit, you'll experience life. If you walk in the flesh, you'll experience death. As the children's of God, we must allow the Spirit of God to lead us and work in us daily. Many believers, yes they repent and they invite Jesus into their lives,  to be their Lord and Savior, yet still living according to the flesh. There's no any difference before and after accepting Christ. The reason is because they never allow Jesus to be involved in their lives. Invite yes, involve no. So today, if you are in the same boat of living in flesh and not according to the Spirit of God, then this message is for you.

Our flesh desires to do things in contradiction to the desires of flesh. In the bible, just before Jesus started His 40 days and nights fasting,  the bible recorded that Jesus was led by the Spirit. Jesus was 100% man, but He lived in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, preach and teach in the Spirit. He was led by the Spirit. Although the devil tempted Him with many fleshy desires, yet He did not give in to it. To walk in the Spirit means to live according to the will of God. The will of God for your life is to have abundance of life, and this only will happen when we walk in the Spirit and allowing the Spirit of God to be involved in every aspects of our lives. Change happens when God is actively involved in every aspects of our lives. We must crucify our flesh so that the Spirit of God lives and works in and through us.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
