TOPIC: Controlled By The Holy Spirit
READ: GALATIANS 5:16-26 (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.
- Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
- idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
- envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told [you] in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
- gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no 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.
- Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
THE MESSAGE:
Believers are called to live in the Spirit, to pray in the Spirit and to walk in Spirit and in truth. This is an absolute standard that cannot be compromised. As such, Christians must live a spiritual life that bears the fruit of the Spirit. Carnality as well as fulfilling the desires of the sinful nature, are totally abhorred.
As disciples, we are to walk by the Spirit for in so doing, we will not carry out the desires of the flesh. The Scripture thus reminds us that we can only walk by means of the Spirit when we place our lives under His full control. We can only walk in spirit and truth when we are led by the Holy Spirit of truth and guided by His Word of truth. Therefore, to live the spiritual life that God requires of all His children means that we should be willing to submit to His will and authority in every situation.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, help me to listen to Your voice, submit to Your will, and be obedient to Your Word, Amen!
