“Living by the Spirit”
Romans 8:9 tells us that we “are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in us. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.” This scripture verse, which I’ve paraphrased, confirms the fact that the Holy Spirit is the identifying agent that lives in every born-again child of God. Without the Holy Spirit, one cannot truthfully say that they belong to the body of Christ.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? How is your relationship with the Holy Spirit? Have you spoken with Him? Are you listening for His voice? Can you recognize His voice over your own inner voice? Are you led throughout the day by His voice? Are you trying to live in a way that brings joy to the heart of the Holy Spirit, or is your life grieving Him?When we have a healthy relationship with the Holy Spirit, “we will not carry out the desires of the flesh.” The realm of the Spirit is our dwelling place. Therefore, we are governed by the Spirit of God.
Hear what the Spirit is saying unto the Church.
Today’s Word
16 But I say, walk by 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; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. 24 And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. 25 If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. ~ Galatians 5:16-25
Today’s Prayer
Father, I pray to You today in the name of—*YeHoWsHua HaMashiach – Jesus the Christ. I confess that I have sinned against You and grieved Your Holy Spirit. Please forgive me. Teach me to be more aware of the instructions of Your Holy Spirit than I am of the desires of my flesh. Help me to crucify the passions and lusts of the flesh. Endow me with thy Holy Spirit and bring forth its fruits in due season. Help me to recognize Your voice and to be led by You Holy Spirit. This is my prayer today in the name of the LORD YeHoWsHua* (Jesus) the Christ, Amen.

Footnote:
The Hebrew spelling of the name of Christ is used in this prayer for educational purposes. Yehowshua is often shorten to Yeshua but out of respect for my Lord I chose to use the spelling of His proper name to demonstrate that His name s above every name and that even the spelling of His name is relative to the spelling of The Father’s name – remembering that there were not any vowels in the Hebrew alphabets. Thus, YHWH (Yahweh) and YeHoWsHua (Yahweh is salvation) are grammatically and uniquely related.
