The Spirit-Filled Life

The Spirit-Filled Life…

Jeremiah 31:31 speaks of the New Covenant God promised to Israel. The time is coming says the Lord, I will make a New Covenant, not like the old; I will write it on their hearts.

The Old Covenant has 613 commandments for every part of life–eating, clothing, hygiene, worship, fellowship, marriage, taking out the garbage–everything. The New Covenant, life in the Spirit, probably has more.

The Spirit commands not by force, but moving by the Spirit. There’s a way to live in the Spirit for every part of your life. There’s a way in the Spirit to dress, to walk, to wash, to work, taking out the garbage.

You are in the Spirit, and there’s the Spirit way to raise your children, to speak, to answer, to play, to work, to shop–in the Spirit! Every part of your life is to be a worship service.

Jesus has put His spirit within you so at all times, you can walk in the Spirit of God and fulfill the Law or the Torah of the Spirit.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. Galatians 5:16-17

Today resolve to be all the more open to the power of the Holy Spirit. Let Him lead you. Be moved by the Spirit in everything you do today.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed
