Day 19 – The two-way street of faith

Walk in the Spirit. This is a command from the Holy Spirit to His children and servants.

But how can we walk in the Spirit and not give in to the desires of the flesh? It seems impossible. And in fact, it is as long as we lack a spiritual nature, as long as we are not born of the Holy Spirit.

Would God ask us to do the impossible?

I don’t think so, how about you?

The fact is, anyone born of the Spirit is spirit. Therefore, walking in the Spirit and overcoming the flesh are absolutely possible and even required.

How do we walk in the Spirit?

When our thoughts and God’s thoughts are linked in our day to day life, whatever belongs to the flesh loses its appeal.

This is why only those who are born of the Spirit overcome, not only the desires of the flesh but the world itself. I John 5.4

It’s worth mentioning that God gives us the right to ask for the impossible, but in return feels He has the right to insist that we do all we can possibly do, for our own good.

Many Christians don’t want Your Kingdom (obedience to God’s Word) but they want Him to come (God’s blessings).
