  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Lets look at this....

'"walking.....................IN...........THE Spirit."""

So, whose Spirit?

Yours?
It can't
be yours, as your Spirit is already always ON. Its ALIVE, and made so by God.

See, you dont learn to walk in THAT, as that is already constantly in process = born again.

So, that means, you are to walk in someone else's.
How do you walk there?
You walk there the same way you are : "seated in Heavenly places in Christ".
You walk there the same way you the born again have become...."As Jesus IS< so are the born again IN THIS WORLD".
You walk there the exact same way you are in the world but not OF It, because you have been "translated From Darkness.....TO LIGHT".
So...

This is why the verse tells you to walk in THE Spirit.
See, The verse is talking to you, spiritually, and not just as words on a page.


And remember, ....when you are learning how to see the light in the word, and not just the words on the page, there are keys, to notice.
And one of them is to notice = "THE". As often the NT will be talking about something SPECIFIC and not in the general sense, and so, it will say....."THE"....>"THE"......"THE".........as in Jesus is THE Way, and not just a way. And Christ hung on THE Cross, and not just a cross.
See that?
Notice the "THE's.

Now, when you are told to walk in THE Spirit, then that is a Specific direction and not just a random or general idea.
And the "walking" in this verse, is not you trying to be good, or you trying to live right, or you trying to present your body as a living sacrifice, as all that is just generic discipleship.

So, what is "THE Spirit"?.... = Its Jesus's MIND of Faith and Belief.
Its this....>"the MIND of Christ".
Its this, > "God's Perspective, regarding all things".
And for you to get THERE, within your Spirituality, you have to "Put on the new man", and "renew your mind".
And that means, you have to understand HOW to align your mind with God's perspective of YOU, so that you only SEE yourself as God's has recreated you to be, as a "new Creation in Christ".
And Saint, that is not a saved sinner.
God does not see you as a saved sinner. God sees you as a HEIR of God and a Joint Heir with Jesus.
God sees you as a SAINT, as a Temple of the Holy Spirit.
Do you see you like that?
If not, Then you are not yet in the "right mind" or the "renewed" mind.
And if you are in a denomination that does not teach you what im showing you, then you need to consider finding a better teacher, and a denomination that is all about "Pauline Theology".


So, once you do come to this understanding, and you must do it.... and stay there, you are walking in The Spirit, which is to REST in God's Grace.
See, when you learn to see yourself only as God has made you to be as the "new Creation" in Christ, then you are finally in the perfect faith.
And in THERE, is where you find this.....>"Christ always GIVES ME = The Victory".

So, how do you put on and renew? How do you put on the New Man and Renew your mind?
You must learn to only see yourself as God has recreated you to be, as "ONE WITH GOD", "In Christ". "made Righteous", and always having "Eternal Life".
That is who you are, in GOD's eyes.
And when you get those same enlightened spiritual inner eyes, that is to only SEE YOURSELF as God has recreated you to eternally exist as the "new Creation".... then you are finally "walking in THE Spirit", but not until you see this and become this same "mind" having put it on.

Walk with the Holy Spirit daily.
Be blessed.

Thats a good idea.

However, walking with the HS, is not the same as walking "IN" the Spirit.

Most
Christians do not walk "in" the Spirit, as to do that, you have to have a mind that is renewed.

When we are born again......our body and our mind is not born again.

So, we have a situation where we have a born again Spirit, that lives in the body, and in this also, is the "soul realm" that is the mind, will, emotions.
We have to learn how to train our mind, or our soul realm, where our free will exists, to only See ourselves, as "made Righteous", "one with God".....>"the righteousness of God in Christ".

When a believer does not have the renewed mind, then they try to keep themselves saved and teach that you can lose your salvation.
So, that wrong "carnal" mind of "the flesh", is causing that wrong belief, that is the proof that the person is not in the renewed mind, which means they dont understand how to "walk in the Spirit"

Regeneration is being born again. One and the same. This is when we receive the Holy Spirit. From there our responsibility is not to "quench" or "grieve " Him. This is walking with His Spirit daily.
Blessings

Spiritual and not water, >Regeneration< is being born again., true.

Then the NT says....>"renew your mind".
This means to learn to only see yourself as God has birthed you to be as a "New Creation" "in Christ".
Most do not SEE this.......they see themselves as a "saved sinner".
So, the renewing of the mind is the change of perception from "what i use to be", to..."Now im what God has birthed me to be" as the REAL YOU.
That's the renewed mind.
