7.55 To “WALK”- walking the Spirit (bearing fruit of the Spirit)

Yesterday we talked about walking in the new man. We can put on the new man by being renewed in our minds by the WORD of God everyday. Today, we will talk about walking in the Holy SPIRIT. We have the WORD and the SPIRIT in our Christian walk.

Walking in the Spirit

We should walk in the Spirit, which means to walk in the leading, Life and empowerment of the Spirit. We should not walk independently of Him according to our fleshly desires. When we walk in the Spirit, we will walk in holiness.

(Gal 5:16)
I say then: WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Sometimes, the Holy Spirit may lead us to take certain actions. A man was asked by the Holy Spirit to go for a jog, and after he had done so, the desire for smoking disappeared. There are others who were led to change their working environments or their circle of friends. The Holy Spirit knows the root problem and leads us out of it, and into our promised land.

Heb 8:10 says that the Holy Spirit puts His will in our minds and writes them on our hearts. In addition to leading us in our minds, He does a deeper work in our hearts. There is a transformation within us as we take on His desires and His attributes over time. When this happens, we bear fruit of the Spirit and we manifest the character of Christ in our lives.

(Hebrews 8:10)
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

Therefore, as we walk by faith in our new identity in Christ and in the transforming power of the Spirit, we bear fruit of the Spirit. Walk in the power and leading of the Spirit today as you experience inner transformation.
