How to Walk in The Spirit:
ALL believers are filled,
sealed, and baptized in the Spirit.
We can be Carnal Christians:
“But, I brothers, could not address you as Spiritual people,
but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.”
1 Corinthians 3:1
Walking in the Spirit:
Living in dependence, union,
and obedience to Christ, moment by moment.
5 Steps to Walk in The Spirit:
Mindset matters:
Heart of worship
Surrender
Fight sin
Prayer
In order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
Romans 8:4-7
You can’t be filled with the Spirit
if you are not filled with the Word.
Point 2: Heart of Worship
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 5:15-20
Point 3: Surrender
White flag, open hands, yes.
Point 4: Fight Your Sin
“If by the Spirit you put to death
the deeds of the body, you will live.”
Romans 8:13
Point 5: Pray and Believe
“How much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Luke 11:13
