Empowered by Walking in the Spirit

“¹⁶ But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. … ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” ~ Galatians 5:16, 22–23 (ESV)

A Spirit–filled life is a surrendered and exchanged life. Read on to find out more…

The follower of Christ voluntarily surrendered his will to the leading of the Holy Spirit so that the believer is slowly but surely being transformed to be more and more like Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. It is also a life where a deliberate exchange has taken place: the Spirit–led and empowered life with its attending fruit being more and more realised in the Spirit–filled person while giving up one’s selfish and petty ambitions, pride and all its attending sinful behaviours at the foot of the Cross. As the believer matures in his or her continuing walk with the Spirit, the person will influence and empower others around him more and more for the glory of God.
