Walking in the Spirit

If you will be a very Dr. Tony adventures we don't turn into helping believers by changing from the outside in. God wants us to do it a different way. Because this power to move forward?

Celebrating 40 years of faithfulness. This is the alternative Dr. Tony Abbott authored speaker, senior pastor of Oakland Bible Fellowship Dallas, Texas, president of the alternative, God wants to energizes to live life by his power today. Dr. Evans tells us how we can get closer to God's Holy Spirit, which naturally moves us farther from any chaos we been living in.

Let's join him as he explains Cemetery and among the dead, you will discover the living people who work there.

People who take care of the grounds. These are living people operating among the dead, they are facilitating that even though they very much are alive.

Unfortunately today, many Christians who are alive are living in spiritual cemeteries. They are living among the dead, they are finding it difficult to get out of the graveyard of that circumstance's not that they want to be there.

Recognize that they should be there just gotten so used to being there that the thought is maybe there's no hope ever to be released from this environment of death.

So the fundamental principle of maximizing and enjoying and benefiting from the eternal life that abides in the believer is whether you're walking by the spirit or walking. Bob says in chapter 5 verse 16 but I say, walk by the Spirit you will not carry out the desires of the flesh sidewalk by the Spirit, and you won't have the desires of the flesh is not the spirit, and you won't have to obey the design – is all that has been contaminated by sin. What Paul called in Romans seven the body of the verse 18, but not by the spirit you are not under the law under the law. That is trying to follow rules, you will be a very happy Christian not because of something wrong with the roles that God will let me that goodwill, but he said is that what God is still upset don't you face the temptation of touching the rule actually got you more excited to disobey. Why, because the Bible says one sees the role sin is stirred up in the sweep dust started up trying to clean up.

Says it dominates you under this little nest rate.

Why because the spirit provides the power to move forward? Because God is going to keep the law for you and through you.

So you have to make yourself.

Keep it and enables you to keep it because there no the higher laws called the law of the Spirit in Romans chapter 8 that is the supernatural engaging that God brings to bear in your life to deal with what the flesh cannot deal with my job some years ago was to clean the top they came out with this product. I remember the name of it all I remember is it says it works. You don't have to give me some and let me try to visit it works. You don't use it around the ring in the top and medicine. In the thinking was to fix now Slidell when I was using previously required not human effort to get cleaned using the problem, flesh and spirit, the flesh, but I'm really look to better this time walking by the spirit doesn't suck it up so that they can be righteousness, peace and joy in the holy ghost when the last time God supernaturally delivered you from that you could deliver yourself from, but if you could fix it. How do you know it was God could many non-Christian do what you did will be better like you he says is right under all that is on the vision we do is make a sin get the more determined to do better the more you just start up problem the more determined and is why so much hard work going to do today will start nothing. Even if you don't do it you will be think about. He says in chapter 5. Now the deeds of the flesh are evident. None of contrast that with verse 22 but the fruit of the spirit is he now contrast how when you're walking in the flesh walking in the spirit. He says this is not something you have to guess that is not something you have to wonder about this is something you have right and evidence would be the flesh, and the three categories sexual superstitious and social. Please notice the flesh flesh expresses itself so you know you will being controlled by the flesh is because this is what the flesh produces so you go down the list and find out where you immorality, impurity, sensuality that's been on the Internet, idolatry, anything that Takes Pl., God in your life. Sorcery enmities, strife, jealousy, outburst of anger, disputes, dissensions fractures always plus the cost in reading between jealousy and envy and jealousy is not feeling bad about the progress of another being is interrupting their progress emptying takes jealousy to the next level goodness. I don't care what your father was a drunk did not think that this would be to the flesh, carousing, and things like these, and I want you, that such people do not inherit the kingdom of God. Nothing never misunderstood Fred say such people to enter the kingdom.

He says that people don't inherit the kingdom to inherit for them in.

All you have to do the into the kingdom of God is to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior to inherit.

It means to enjoy its benefits. What is if you leave the flesh you don't get to enjoy the benefit of being the king you may be, but you're not enjoying being the benefits of the kingdom are not growing to you. You sing about a happen is you have to sing about a joy to know how to sing about a polyp you have this thing about authority that you don't have to. You have not, even though you may be it. So look at your life and look at ways in which you living in the flesh. If you mean all the time on real time fussing all the time constant all the time if you got bad attitude all the time. If you don't grandma my new gray granite if it's gotten absolutely nothing to do. This is the CN one reason we don't like is complete all on some now say is circumspect. It's well with you. That's causing this. We have ownership with no way around taking ownership. Could you got a single God says about. So what usually is. You gotta say is maybe as many as we stand and in prayer. If flesh because unless you discover what God says about it you in the flesh it out in the spirit/the spirit watches them notice anything about the difference between verse 19 in verse 22, but word is plural work through his singular but he is nine things the fruits of the spirit and nine things that we could be the all the flesh like buckshot all around. Why, because all of these become disconnected disjointed one minute you got this when things are random when the home as it takes all three produce and why, because now I because the Dr. Evans will have more force on the difference between deeds and fruit when he continues her message just a moment. In the meantime, if you like to dig deeper into what we been learning. We put together a perfect package of resources that can help you do just that.

The fruit reflects the nature of the tree for beneficial words somebody else wants to pick up the message rotten so that somebody else can bite for the benefit of these because they are generated and you wind up eating you like that is growing to become greatly grown to become happily become orangey. They simply let the tree do its thing and the tree produces becomes a natural role that particular tree fruit drink produce fruit.

Fruit tree and fruit is one of the spirit. When notice what you have low joy instability when you use them in a confusion piece harmony when it used to be functional patients. The rot out of this. Don't have to be mean all the time. This is not the undependable becomes dependable mass will control all price was 20 point flesh with its passions and desires. Why because you have a total right inside the spirit come to conclusion the novel I think if you say you, life of the spirit of God. God loves you spirit also by the spirit that made me but not on the outside because of the spirit in all determining the subject does not respond like the point and calling on the Holy Spirit. The decision based on the discovery when you are now natural takes over. Another way you can start using manual transmission of automatic work on something you try this some legal trucks you decide know you and your flesh who have this contract was okay to determine now what ever faced an issue in my life, my circumstances, to identify God's view on the matter.

To make the decision to respond as Christ respond to that you call on God the Holy Spirit to empower the decision I'm going to start operating when you first got out will be like a baby learning to walk.

When babies think wrongful management to stand up these get wobbly and falls back that becomes very mechanical.
