[The Glory Unveiled]
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. [ Galatians 5:16 NIV ]
The Christian is in the world but not of the world. They are in the world but are supposed to live in an ecosystem that separates them from the stains of the world. This ecosystem is a life that is lived in absolute submission to Jesus by walking side by side with the Spirit of God. But two people cannot walk except they agreed to do so. No one can walk by the Holy Spirit except they have agreed with Him, in spirit and in truth. “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24). The scripture shows us how to agree with the Spirt of God in order to relate with Him. It is by moving in agreement with Him—in spirit and in truth. Without the Spirit and Truth, we cannot agree with God. To walk with the Holy Spirit; to come into agreement with Him, we need to come into truth and spirit. The truth cleanses us and His Spirit clothes us to look like Him so that we will be able to fellowship with Him. Walking with the Holy Spirit is not an automatic reality for every one who claims to know the Lord, it is the result of a conscious, time tested, and spirit enabled journey. It takes maturity to walk with the Holy Spirit. It is that maturity that helps the believer not to gratify the desires of the flesh. “The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 8:14 TPT). The believer who lives in this ecosystem is not moved by their sight or by the facts of their world but by the impulses of the Spirit. Walking by the Spirit is a culture in which some people live, and where the world’s culture cannot touch them. Be led by the Holy Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
