ALL ARE SPIRIT LED!
ARE YOU LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF JESUS?
Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead
me on level ground. Romans 8:14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these
are sons of God. Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
There is no middle ground, no third option. Everyone is part of God's kingdom,
or satan's.  In the words of Jesus, "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he
who does not join with Me, scatters" (Luke 11:23).    We are born satan's children!.

   John 3:5-8 that human nature, with which all of us are born, will not enter into the kingdom of God unless it is changed. This change is called being born again. And what this means is that the Spirit of God creates something new; he takes out of you the heart of stone that rebels against God, and he puts into you a new heart which trusts God and follows his ways. Or to put it another way, the Holy Spirit of Jesus establishes himself as the new ruling principle of your life. "That which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
   That which is begotten by the Spirit has the nature of the Spirit, is permeated by the character of the Spirit, and is animated by the Spirit. This change is owing wholly to the Spirit's work of free grace, prior to any saving faith on our part. The new birth is not caused by our faith; on the contrary, our faith is caused by the new birth. "No one can come to the Son unless it is granted to him by the Father" (John 6:65). Therefore, the life we have in Christ is owing wholly to the work of God's Spirit, and you have no ground for boasting at all. We live by the Spirit.     The spirit of Jesus is the Holy Spirit.
   
Galatians 5:25 states concisely what your next step should be. "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit." Paul is in full agreement with Jesus that it is by the work of the Holy Spirit that we have been given new life. "Even when we were dead through trespasses God made us alive together with Christ . . . We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:5, 10; Colossians 2:13). Just as God once said, "Let there be light," and there was light, so he "has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6).
   Paul, in
Galatians 5:25, draws an inference from how our new life in Christ began: if it began by the Spirit, then all our subsequent life ought to be carried out by the Spirit (Galatians 3:1-5). If it was by the free and sovereign power of the Spirit that our new spiritual life came into being, then the way that new life should be lived is by that same free and sovereign power. "Walk by the Spirit" means do what you do each day by the Spirit; live your life in all its details from waking up in the morning until going to sleep at night by the enabling power of the Spirit. But what does that mean, practically speaking? How do we "walk by the Spirit"? We actually hear Jesus and obey Him.
  We must acknowledge from our hearts that we are helpless to do good apart from Jesus. As Paul says in
Romans 7:18, "I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing." What did Jesus mean when he said in John 15:5, "Without Me you can do nothing"? Of course, we can do something without Jesus: we can sin! But that's all we can do. So, the first step of walking by the Spirit is: Admit this fact and let it have its effect on our pride. We cannot do anything pleasing to God without the constant help of the Spirit.
  Since it is promised in
Ezekiel 36:27 that God will put His Spirit within us and cause us to walk in his statutes, pray that he does it to you by His almighty power. Many of you know the glorious, liberating experience of having an irresistible desire for sin overcome by a new and stronger desire for God and His way. And as you look back, to whom do you attribute that new desire? Where did it come from? It came from the merciful Holy Spirit. Therefore, let us pray like Paul did in 1 Thessalonians 3:12 for that chief fruit of the Spirit: "Now may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all men."
   
Walking by the Spirit is faith. We must believe that since we have come under the gracious sway of God's Spirit, "sin will no longer have dominion over us" (Romans 6:14). This confidence is what Paul meant by "reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God" (Romans 6:11). We simply count on it that the Spirit who made us alive when we were dead in sin wills our holiness and has the power to achieve what he wills.        The reason we can is that we know that God will cause his children to be led by the Spirit. And the way we know this is because of Romans 8:14, where Paul says you can't even be a child of God unless you are led by the Spirit. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." If you are a child of God, you have a solid and unshakable promise that God will give you victory over those powerful desires of the flesh.   
  Walking by the Spirit after you have acknowledged your helplessness without him, prayed for his enablement, and trusted in his deliverance is to act the way you know is right. Only after we have appealed for the Spirit's enablement and thrown ourselves confidently on his promise and power to work in us, do we now work with all our might.
  In Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but
Christ who lives in me" (Romans 15:18, 19). A person who has acknowledged his helplessness, prayed for God's enablement to do right, and yielded himself confidently to the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit has this astonishing incentive to do righteousness, namely, the confidence that, whatever righteous act he does, it is God almighty who is at work in him giving him the will and the power to do it.
    Beloved, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling [
get out of the chair, the house is on fire!] because [not "in spite of" but "because of"] God is at work in you to will and to work for his good pleasure.   It is a great incentive, not discouragement, that your
effort to do what is right is the work of  Jesus within you.
      "Let him who serves, serve with the strength which God supplies, that in everything
                    God may get the glory" (
1 Peter 4:11).     To God be the glory!
