Walking in the Spirit - Charismatic (Galatians 5:22-23)

Source: Spirit-filled living72 words

Galatians 5:16 introduces the fruit passage: "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Walking implies movement, sensitivity, responsiveness. Charismatics emphasize: the Spirit-filled life is dynamic, not static. Fruit grows as we stay attentive to the Spirit's leading—yielding to His promptings, repenting when we grieve Him, receiving fresh filling. Are you walking in step with the Spirit today? That walk produces fruit you couldn't manufacture yourself.
