This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.’ Galatians 5:16 KJV.Walking in the Spirit is something you do or you don’t do. It is that simple. The Spirit and the flesh are opposites. Walking in the Spirit isn’t something you can do sometimes and then sometimes not do. It is a continued and progressive motion.
In the New Testament we see how the Holy Spirit lived in the Apostles and influenced them to be like Jesus. They patterned their lives after the Spirit’s leading. They are an excellent example of people walking in the Spirit.
Keeping away from the things that clash with the Spirit of God is 24/7 job for us. We are moved by the Spirit to be more like Jesus, but yet we are surrounded by things tempting us to fall to the desires and passions of the flesh.
Peter urged us in 1 Peter 2 to abstain from sinful desires, which war against our soul. We are just visitors here on earth on our way to our eternal home in heaven. Do not get caught up going after earthly things and neglect the salvation of your own soul.
Seek heaven as it is your home. Seek God for He is your destiny. If you are walking in the Spirit evidence of that is shown daily in you.
‘If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.’ Galatians 5:25 KJV.
