Are you a son or a daughter of God? If so, you are called to be led by the Spirit. Sons and daughters walk by the Spirit. You are a new creation in Christ, having been crucified with Him! That is a marvelous truth. But, you still have a choice every day on how you’re going to live. You are no longer a slave, but a child of the Mist High.

In an episode where they talk about how God is bound to His word, they encourage people to not just read the Bible, but to be changed by it. “God cannot lie. So When you read His Word, you’re not just reading any old book. You’re reading a Word, the Bible says, that will read you. You’re reading a Word that becomes a reflection of who you are.”
The Word of God is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12). Read the Word and let it read you! The truth about God’s sons and daughters is in His Word.

Sons and Daughters Walk by the Spirit
We are not to be led by the flesh, but by the Spirit. A Holy Spirit-led life produces rich fruit that enriches our souls and it is a fragrance to those around us. Jesus has set us free! Our lives should look different!
“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. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law” (Galatians 5:16-18).
The world is always in turmoil. People are living in anxiety and fear. But there is hope! As ambassadors for Christ, the children of God tell a different story. We have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus and we are new creations! We live in this world, but not of it. Let your life be a testimony of the grace of God.
“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:5-6).
How do I Live by the Spirit Every Day?
Here are some practical steps to help you live by the Spirit. It’s one thing to know that something is the right thing to do, but how do we start?
Begin each day with thanksgiving and praise. Turn your affections towards Jesus and simply thank Him. You have been given access into His presence! If you need to repent, don’t hesitate! God is faithful to forgive.
“Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His name!” (Psalm 100:4).
Keep your heart in a posture of thankfulness and just keep your focus on Him. You can do this all day, even while working or cooking, taking care of your children, etc.
Another key is to remain childlike! Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14).
Children believe what they hear. Read the Bible and believe it! Believe what God says, and remember that you are a co-heir with Christ. You live in the Kingdom of God!
Ask The Holy Spirit to help you! He is your Helper, as promised by Jesus! He leads you into all truth. Talk to Him and listen. Wait on Him. Practice being still and having ears to hear.

Prayer
Holy Spirit, thank you for dwelling in me and with me. I ask that you would help me and teach me to be led by you! Convict me when I am living by the flesh and keep my heart soft, so that I repent quickly. I surrender to you today. Thank you that I am yours and you are mine! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
