The Daily Word of Righteousness
Led by the Spirit, #12
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16)
We see therefore that our personal victory, the victory over our own personality, is made possible by the blood of Jesus, and also by the Holy Spirit as we make the effort in every area of our thinking, speech, and actions to be under the control of the Spirit of God. It is only through the Holy Spirit that we can attain the total victory we desire.
We are to learn to live in a prophetic environment every day and every night. The Holy Spirit will guide us in our home, with our children, on the job, in school, in all that we are and do. Any part of our life that is not under the control of the Spirit of God is still "in the flesh," and the result of living in the flesh is corruption and death.
Considerable experience is required before we are able to bring our entire personality under the control of the Spirit of God, but it is well worth every effort we make to do so.
The blood of the cross forgives our sins. The Holy Spirit then leads us each day into victory over the sin residing in our personality. As we confess our sins and turn away from them we are forgiven and the Lord drives the sin from our personality. Little by little, victory by victory, the enemy in our "land" is judged and driven out by the Spirit of God.
Total victory will be ours if we hold fast our confidence in Christ until the end of our life.
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; (Hebrews 3:14)
If we will continue in the Spirit we will enter the rest of God, the place where our whole personality delights to do the will of God. The Lake of Fire no longer will have authority over us. We, having been judged in advance, are now ready for the first resurrection from the dead.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6)
The key to perfect victory over our personality is diligence in obeying continually the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ. We will reap eternal life if we keep on sowing to the Spirit of God in all that we do.
To be continued.
