Walking in the Spirit. Paul tells us in Galatians chapter 5 that walking in the Spirit is the key to seeing the fruit of the Spirit increase in our lives. And who wouldn’t want more of that? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If every believer had more of all of those qualities in their lives then our world would be a very different place. Because we humans are composed of three parts, body, soul, and spirit, walking in the spirit comes down to a simple case of majority rules, two against one. Whichever way our souls go wins. That means the key to walking in the spirit is adjusting our souls. We get that part down then everything else gets easier. And the starting place for moving our souls away from the patterns of this world and our flesh and into agreement with our perfect spirits is to renew our minds. Bottom line: It takes some effort to slow down and truly seek God. Most of all it takes some time.
