Walking in the Spirit
For the believer, living like a civilian in the midst of war exposes you to danger. Thus, you should be sober and vigilant. When the devil wants to pull you down through your spirit and he doesn’t succeed, he operates from the external i.e. physical through sickness, loss, lack, e.t.c. The devil cannot go for your spirit if he cannot weigh your spirit down.
Things I must understand as a believer:
- I have an enemy – the devil.
- I have been enlisted in God’s army.
The reason the believer is susceptible to the devil’s attacks and temptations is because the believer is not serious.
- I have a Commander.
- I have a uniform.
- I have my armor.
- I have my training.
- I have a victory.
Training in the Spirit means walking in the Spirit.
What does it mean to be trained in the Spirit?
- Walk in the Spirit Romans 8:1-4.
How do I walk in the Spirit?
- By being led by the Spirit and not by your senses Romans 8:14, 2 Peter 1:20-21
Because the battle is a spiritual one, it requires spiritual leading (of the HolySpirit)
Prayer point: Dear Lord, give me the grace to be led by you.
