Walking With the Spirit of God

Galatians 5:25 ESV

“If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”

What does it mean to walk with the Spirit of God?

To walk in and with the Holy Spirit means to live a life that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. It means that we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts, desires, and actions. We have to give a conscious effort to follow the Spirit’s leading, by listening intently, understanding and even asking questions about what we have heard. This happens by seeking God’s will through prayer and scripture and we begin to recognize His ways. We recognizing that we cannot live a godly life on our own and have to depend on the Holy Spirit’s power and guidance in our lives. We allow the Holy Spirit to transform us into the likeness of Jesus. We cultivating a close and personal relationship with God  and the Holy Spirit through prayer, scripture reading, and fellowship with other believers. Walker ng with the Spirit means that we will put action to the Spirit’s commands, we will seek to please God continuously.

Prayer:

Lord, keeping in step with the Holy Spirit of God needs to be our desire. We seek to please You so we try to keep up until one day it becomes natural to walk in and with the Spirit of God. Then we come to a place in our lives where it is our first choice in the day, to follow You and the leading of the Spirit. In Your name Lord, Amen!
