Spiritually Minded!

Romans; 8:5
(For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.)

What does it mean to walk according to the Spirit? Every believer has the Spirit of God indwelling them. They are able to do the things that God wants them to do because they have power from the Holy Spirit. If you aren't a believer, then you do not possess this help and as a consequence, you are not able to please God. You have chosen not to believe what God has said about His Son Jesus Christ and therefore have not put your faith in Him. You are walking in the flesh and you are unable to please God no matter how hard you try because your deeds are fleshly minded.

When walking in the flesh you will do the deeds of the flesh which are, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like. These are all mentioned in Galatians; 5:19-21.

If you walk by the Spirit, then you will produce the fruit of the Spirit which are: love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, self-control. Without the Spirit of God, you will be unable to produce this fruit. These are attitudes and characteristics that God produces in believers. If you are a believer in Jesus, your main goal will be to produce fruit and please God by doing his will.

Put your faith in Jesus today and start walking in the Spirit. You will be able to accomplish this with the help of the Holy Spirit whom Jesus promised to all who believe in Him.

God Bless You!
