LIVING A SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
Walking With the Holy Spirit Daily
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:16-25 NLT
⇒ Key: Spirit-filled living is not an event; it is a daily walk.
1. Walking Is Continuous.
Galatians 5:16 NLT- So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
⇒ Walking implies: Direction, Consistency, Relationship.
2. The Flesh and Spirit Are in Conflict.
Galatians 5:17 NLT- The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
⇒ The battle is real. Examples: Anger, Pride, Fear, Lust, Selfishness.
3. The Spirit Produces Fruit.
Galatians 5:22-23 NLT- But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
⇒ Fruit is evidence of spiritual maturity.
"The Spirit-filled life is not about having more of God; it's about God having more of us."
