Growing in Your Walk Means Changing

Wednesday, June 21, 2023

Summary

Walking in the Spirit is a continuous daily lifestyle rather than a one-time Sunday event. True spiritual growth brings visible transformation in our lives as we remain connected to Christ, freeing us from the control of the flesh. When we align our mindset and environment with the Holy Spirit, God empowers us to overcome habitual struggles and bear lasting fruit.

Sermon Moments

“Comparing spiritual fullness to filling up a car with gas, which starts burning away as soon as you leave the station.”

“Explaining that the law functions like a mirror that can condemn or inform, but cannot empower you to do right.”

“Highlighting that an orange doesn't grunt to become orangey; fruit grows naturally by remaining attached to the tree.”

“Observing that fruit eating itself is rotten, showing that spiritual fruit is intended for the benefit of others.”

“Distinguishing weekly church preaching as 'national news' while the Holy Spirit gives 'local news' tailored to personal needs.”

“Illustrating life transformation through the movie The Blob, where victory came not from standard methods but by changing the environment.”

This Week

Begin each morning by asking the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide your thoughts throughout the day.
Evaluate your reactions to daily conflicts to determine whether you are acting out of the flesh or the Spirit.
Focus on cultivating your personal relationship with God rather than relying strictly on rules or self-help programs.
Practice thinking spiritually instead of circumstantially when facing difficult situations or personal offense.
Look for practical opportunities to let the fruit of the Spirit in your life bless and serve those around you.
Seek the Holy Spirit for specific, daily guidance in your personal life situations beyond weekly church teaching.
Intentionally change your spiritual environment by spending daily time in prayer and biblical reflection.

Remember This

Walking in the Spirit is a continuous daily lifestyle that transforms your spiritual environment and frees you from the control of the flesh.

A Challenge for You

If you will change the environment and move to the realm of the Spirit as a lifestyle, you'll see the plane of your victory rise over the gravity of the flesh that seeks to defeat you.
