Day 22

Walking in the spirit is easier said than done. However, it is a choice. A choice to be like Jesus. We are  to “put on the mind of Christ” daily.This is done through prayer and reading the Bible.

It never fails that when I purposefully set out to walk in the Spirit, I no sooner get out of the house when I am slammed by Satan and/or his demons. Yet, that is the gauge at which I know that I am walking in the Spirit. If I am not affecting the Kingdom of God for His glory, then it seems the demonic pressure is light to non-existent.

The reality is that I cannot walk in the Spirit exhibiting the “fruits of the spirit” on my own strength. I need, no, must have the power of the Lord through the filling of the Holy Spirit. Apart from Christ, I can do nothing – but with Jesus all things are possible, and that fills my heart with great joy. Knowing that as I go through this day walking in the spirit, I am not alone.

So, Satan and his demons can attack all they want, but the battle was over when Jesus said on the cross “it is finished.” Nothing can happen to me unless it is God’s will and then His grace is sufficient for me to persevere through any thing that the devil throws at me.
