Walking in the Spirit

To walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16) is to live in conscious communion with God's presence. It begins with surrender – exchanging our agenda for His. The Spirit guides through Scripture, promptings, and godly counsel, helping us discern truth in confusing times. This walk produces tangible fruit: love that serves, joy that perseveres, peace that calms storms, patience in trials, kindness to enemies, goodness in temptation, faithfulness in commitments, gentleness with the vulnerable, and self-control over impulses. It requires daily dying to fleshly desires – pride, lust, anger. Like Paul, we may struggle (Romans 7:15), but the Spirit empowers victory. Practical steps include prayerful mindfulness, worship throughout the day, and immediate repentance when we stumble. As we yield, ordinary moments become sacred encounters.
