Walking With Holy Spirit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.  Galatians 5:22-26 NASB

Life is hard and at times exhausting. We as believers weren’t meant to carry the weight of life nor its heavy responsibilities alone. Holy Spirit is present to help us with prayer, with life, and with ministry. He is able to take the burden off the load. If we don’t walk in the Spirit, we will walk in the flesh. We will toil in the flesh. We will run and grow tired. We will walk and grow weary. We will become sour and exhausted. If we don’t learn how to walk with Holy Spirit, life becomes a heavy yoke and ministry becomes a difficult burden. 

This lame man was sitting instead of leaping …… and begging and instead of praising. In fact, what he asked for was handouts, but what he needed was to walk. Peter and John did not give him money, but they lifted him up through the power of God, and he started to walk. But even when he started to walk, his financial situation was still the same. In fact, his outside circumstances didn’t change, yet he started to rejoice, praise God and enter the temple. This miracle led many to faith in Christ. 

Maybe you are sitting at the gate of your brokenness right now, really seeking the power of God. How about we broaden our focus from the POWER of God to include focusing on the PRESENCE of Holy Spirit! 

We already have Him. Now we need to walk with Him.  That walk will change your life my friends! And the lives of those the Lord puts on our path, and the ministry God has purposed for us. 

I need Holy Spirit, I yearn to hear His still, quiet voice to illuminate the truth, to guide and encourage me, and to give me supernatural insight and discernment about various people and situations. I’m sure you do, too. And when we invite Holy Spirit to work with and move in our life, He’ll reveal Himself to us in amazing ways.
