Walking in the Spirit

"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Gal. 5:16).

"If'we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit" (Gal. 5:250

"Walking in the Spirit" and being filled by the Holy Spirit are not one and the same thing, though they are very closely related. Having followed the five simple rules for the filling of the Holy Spirit, we can walk in the Spirit by guarding against quenching or grieving the Spirit (as we will describe in the next two chapters) and by following the above five steps each time we become aware that sin has crept into our lives.

Though we can be filled with the Holy Spirit in a moment of time, being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a single experience that lasts fbr life. On the contrary, it must be repeated many times. In fact, at first it should be repeated many times daily. This can be done while kneeling at your place of devotion, at the breakfast table, in the car en route to work, while sweeping the kitchen floor, listening to a telephone conversation-anywhere. In effect, walking in the Spirit puts one in continual communion with God, which is the same as abiding in Christ. And walking in the Spirit requires daily feeding on the Word.

To "walk in the Spirit" is to be freed of your weaknesses. Yes, even your greatest weaknesses can be overcome by the Holy Spirit. Instead of being dominated by your weaknesses, you can be dominated by the Holy Spirit. That is God's will for all believers!

More specific details will be given on walking in the Spirit in chapter 13. But first we must heed Paul's warning not to grieve the Holy Spirit. What does that mean?
