In this prayer, Paul takes us outside the realm in which we live and escorts us into the “other” unseen world which surrounds us.
Walk In The Spirit
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16
When thinking about walking in the Spirit, this verse in Galatians most likely comes to your mind. It’s a verse that I’ve visited many times over these 45 years of salvation. It’s a truth that has always encouraged and stabilized God’s people in every generation.
However, there’s another verse that mentions walking in the Spirit. Interestingly, it comes from the exact opposite perspective as Galatians. It’s found in Micah 2:11. I just read it this morning.
Are You An Israelite? I Am.
Gentiles, by faith, are grafted in among Israel (the Israel of God) as Israelites. It’s not by blood. It never has been. That’s why John the Baptist said in Matthew 3:9: “And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.” Could God raise up children unto Abraham out of stones? Yes.
