Galatians 5:16-17
"16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
"17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."


There is no guaranteed peace nay where else than Walking with God.

If you are not walking with God, you tend to walk against God.

Walking with God cannot be done by human effort, but only by the Holy Spirit.

The consequence of SIN is usually greater than the SIN it self.

Walking in the Spirit is a concious effort. It requires a concious decision.

Romans 8:1-15
"1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
"2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
"3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"
"4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
"5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."
"6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."
"7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be."
"8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."
"9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
"10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
"11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
"12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh."
"13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."
"14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
"15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."


For the Spirit to walk in you, firstly you'll need to invite him.
Many want to walk with Jesus, but not decided to follow him.

You cannot hold-on to God and also hold-on to fornication, drunkiness, adultery, hatred at the same time.
You cannot walk in the Spirit and in the flesh at the same time.

We will remain blind untill we begin to walk in the light.

If you will decide to follow Jesus, then you will need to drop some friends, habits, relationships and lifestyle.

When you are walking in the Spirit, it requires surrender.

To follow Jesus, you'll need to surrender all to him.

Walking in the Spirit is living by the word of God. Not to walk by the counsel of elders, friends, parent but by the word of God.

It is good to be busy at work, at home, at various engagements, but still find time for God.
