Guard And Grow - How to Walk In the Spirit
We were born like Jesus – the Holy Spirit, the seed of God, breathed life into us and recreated our spirit in the image of God! We have been given a gift – God committed to us His very Spirit on the inside of us! The mark of maturity and growing in the Lord, is your awareness of the Holy Spirit, being sensitive to His promptings and directives. God has a plan for each of us to be different and LIVE different– sensitive and tender to the Holy Spirit. You’re born of God to live like Jesus!! The thinking -- that’s Jesus and I’m not like Him – has kept the body of Christ living in the flesh. If you make that excuse, you are living in the flesh!! Oh people we need to repent and repent quickly – that means change our way of thinking! You have within you the Spirit of God – the ability to live above the old ways, to live not by the flesh because YOU ARE BORN OF GOD – but by His Spirit!!
We live in a world with other human beings and someone will say or do something that gives you the opportunity to be angry, disappointed, feel mistreated, or betrayed. Each of those thoughts and feelings are devices of the enemy – the devil has a plan to turn believers, followers of Jesus away from the spirit - keep us consumed with ourselves, self focused and fleshly soulish people or as Paul calls it - CARNAL CHRISTIANS – Romans 8:5-6 tells us what that is – those born of God who set their minds on things of the flesh and live according to the flesh and not the spirit...
We hope this message encourages you in your walk with the Holy Spirit.
