What is meant by walking in the Spirit?


A few months ago, I have encountered this verse in Galatians 5:16 which says, “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.” Then, earlier today, I remembered it and decided to write an article about it for this blog. So, I asked the LORD JESUS what is the meaning of walking in the Spirit. His reply was this, “It means, you live according to My laws and commands, in other words, you obey all my commands because I am the Spirit that gives life and blessings like hope, peace, sound mind, good health, and eternal life when you obey Me.” He added that we should abide in Him as He said in John 15:4 this, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”

The LORD JESUS also told me that we should imitate Him and follow His steps, attitude, and character as 1 John 2:6 reminds us with this, “the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.” So, we should walk in love as JESUS did. He loved us so much that He died as a propitiation for our sins. Also, for us to be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and live eternally there with Him. Let us consider this Bible verse found in Ephesians 5:2 which says, “and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” Therefore, let us walk in love as the LORD JESUS commanded us to love Him first and our neighbors as ourselves as found in Matthew 22:37-39.

However, you might ask how can we show our love for the LORD JESUS and our neighbors? The answer is simple. We should live according to JESUS' purpose for creating us. He created us to glorify Him (Isaiah 43:7). Glorifying Him should be our purpose. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, glory means heavenly happiness. Therefore we should prioritize the LORD JESUS' happiness. If we do that, we are also, prioritizing our neighbors' happiness. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Now, what makes the LORD JESUS' happy? He is happy when we love and obey Him. Thus, it is vital to read the Bible so that we will know the LORD JESUS' commands and so we can obey it.

If you are not a believer and follower of JESUS yet, please pray this sinner's prayer so you can establish a relationship with Him and fulfill your purpose of glorifying Him:
  • LORD JESUS, I love You. I believe that You love me too by dying on the cross and rising again on the third day to save me from sin. I want to be close to You, LORD and obey You. Please forgive me from all sins and cleanse me from all my unrighteousness. I repented my sins. Please come into my heart and be my LORD and SAVIOR. Thank You, LORD. Amen.
If you have prayed that sinner's prayer sincerely, please attend church services in a Born-again Christian Pentecostal or Baptist church and be baptized. Also, acquire a Bible and read it day and night and have fellowship with good and loving Christians. If you are a Christian already, keep the faith and continue loving and obeying the LORD. Don't forget that walking in the Spirit means loving and obeying the LORD JESUS. I love You, thank You for taking the time reading this article. May Our Great GOD JESUS CHRIST bless you with good health, peace of mind, and happiness. And, may He give you a humble, teachable, and obedient heart. God bless to your Christian journey. To the LORD JESUS, thank You LORD for guiding me as I write this piece. May You be glorified and honored highly by this piece. I love You.

What GOD likes and dislikes

While I was listening to the song "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" by Michael W. Smith last month, I came across with the lyrics that says "You're the great I am". Upon hearing it, I forgot that the LORD is the Great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14) and I started doubting. But the LORD reminded me that it's Him and that I should not doubt Him because He dislikes a doubtful servant. So, to help you increase your knowledge of Him and know how to love Him, let me tell you the things that He likes and dislikes. Listed below are the things He likes and dislikes. 8 Things GOD likes 1. He likes us. It is said in John 3:16 that GOD loves the world. It means He loves or like us because we are His creations. He gave us His own breath for us to live. 2. He likes a cheerful giver. It is written in second 2 Corinthians 9:7 that GOD loves a cheerful giver. Therefore we should freely give and share whatever we have to our brothers and sisters that are ...

Best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love that JESUS taught me

Oftentimes we fell in love with someone who does not love us back either because they are not interested in us or is already committed to someone else. This kind of situation is heartbreaking. And, it is hard for our minds and hearts to accept the truth that we are not loved back. We kept on expecting and hoping that someday the person we love will reciprocate the feeling we have for them. But, the more you hope and expect, the more you become hurt until one day you find the courage to tell yourself, ‘this is enough I have to move on’. So, what are the best and the godly ways to move on from unrequited love? Here they are: 1. Believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and Savior. This is the first step to moving on. By doing this, your focus is shifted from the person you love, to the LORD. If you are not a believer or a Christian yet, you should first believe and accept JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR. You can pray this prayer: “LORD JESUS, I believe that you are the On...

Seven proofs that JESUS is GOD

I woke up this dawn feeling hungry, so I cooked some Ramen noodles and ate. After eating, I went back to bed to continue sleeping but I heard the Voice of the LORD telling me to write an article about the Seven proofs that JESUS is our One True GOD. So I prayed. I told Him that I am willing and His will be done and I asked Him to give me knowledge on what are those seven proofs that He is saying. These are the seven proofs that He gave me. 1. He created the world, us, and everything around us. Colossians 1:16 says this, " For by Him (JESUS) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: " See, it is stated clearly here that all things were created by Him and for Him. JESUS is our Creator. He is our Father and our GOD.  2. He is the Word. It is said in John 1:1 that , " In the beginning was the Wo...
