Galatians 5:16
Reigning
over the flesh requires one to walk in the spirit. Paul says if you don’t want
to fulfill the lust (desires) of the flesh you must walk in the spirit.
However,
for you to walk in the spirit, you must be in the spirit.
Galatians 5:25
Living
in the Spirit is the first step to walking in the Spirit. If you aren’t in the
Spirit, you can’t walk in the Spirit.
Can
a child who is not yet born to be walking around? Is not possible. One had to
be given birth to before he can engage in any activity.
What does it mean to
be in the Spirit?
To
be in the Spirit means to be born in the Spirit. For you to be born in the
Spirit, you must be born of the Spirit. When the Spirit gives birth to you, it
does that in the Spirit. It also deposits all the feature of the Spirit which
you need to live well in the Spirit into you at your birth. When you are born
of the Spirit, you become a spirit at a birth.
Like
gives birth to like.
Being
a Spirit is inevitable if you must live in the Spirit.
John 3:6
The
book of John 4:24 make us to understand that God is a Spirit. When you are born
of God (But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name: 13 Which
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of
man, but of God. – John 1:12-13), you become born of the Spirit.
To
be born of the Spirit means to be born again.
How to walk in the
Spirit.
…It is the spirit
that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit,
and they are life.
John 6:63
Walking
in the Spirit means living in line with the instructions of the word of God. The
word of God is the expression of the Spirit. God communicate Spiritual things to
us through His word. Walking in line with the dictates of the instructions of
Scriptures is walking in the Spirit.
Beside
the word of God being an expression of the Spirit, it is also a carrier of the
life of the Spirit. Walking in the word of God impart the life of God into us.
Walking according to the directives of the word of God keeps us spiritually
alive and sound.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the
branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the
vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
John 15:4
When
we follow the instructions of the word of God, the word begin to manifest
itself through us and in us.
One
who is not born again cannot live in the Spirit because it take being in the
Spirit to live in the spirit. If you are not born again, we invite you to
become a child of God and live in the Spirit by making the prayer below
verbally with all sincerity of heart.
