WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

A)     What does it mean to walk in the Spirit?

B)     Why walk in the Spirit?

C)     How do you walk in the Spirit?

A)     1.   Walk Defined?

                        Walk Required – 4 things

                        Walk is a learning process –  

         Your Spirit – Alive – Justified

         Your Soul  -  Submit – Sanctified

         Your Body – Disciplined – Self Control

         2.   What does it Mean?

         Walk with Purpose, balance, observation and action.

B)      Why Walk?

1.   Walk in Intimacy – Knowing the Father – Eph. 1:17,

           3:14-21

2.   Walk in Power – 2 Tim. 1:7

3.   Walk in Destiny – Psa. 139:17; Jer. 29:11-13 

          (insert your name)

4.   Why? “In the Spirit” – it produces divine action

      (Seeing, Praying, Hearing, Speaking, Singing 

         and Discerning in the Spirit)

In the book of Ephesians has many “walks” teaches us how to walk?

C)      How To Walk?

1.       Walk Circumspectly – Eph. 5:15

      What it means?  Eg. Cat walks – through the

      broken glass.

2.       Walk and Look Where you’re going?

    Hebrews 12:2,3 – Fix your eyes on

    Psalms 141:8 – My eyes are fixed on you.

3.       Walking Requires:

-          Purpose – Keep  your eyes on Jesus

-          Observation – Being vigilant and watchful

-          Balance – Being discerning and determined

-          Action – Being led by the Spirit.

4)     Walk In The Truth  – In the Word.

#  Distractions – My God shall supply my needs

                         My children will be taught of the Lord

   By your stripes I am healed and healthy

# Obstacles – Hurts – The spirit of the Lord – Isa. 60:1

# Enemy – Quote- Isa. – No weapon formed against me shall prosper…

   Cast out unbelief, doubts, lies, fear and quote scriptures suitable at the point of need

  

Every day we are bombarded with problems and needs!  Try to solve not by the flesh but in your Spirit – Pray in the Spirit and take scriptures to meet your problems and needs.

As I say - Walking requires observation – Being vigilant and watchful, discerning the “enemy” who is taking an advantage on you.

Action: Led by the spirit -  

 1.  Obedience to the Word                                             

 2.  Take the Armor of God (Ephesians 6)

 3.  Listen for His Voice – if you fall get right back.

       Recognized the voice of the Lord speaks to you in the Word. Ask God for guidance and direction in the area of your life.

 Answer: By the Word - Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the works of the flesh.
