Have you found that the Christian life difficult to
live? Someone has joked, that the
Christian life isn’t difficult at all…it’s impossible! Christian author, Steve Pogue, said, ‘Trying to live the Christian life by your
own efforts is like a ship on dry land…just doesn’t work very well. For the
ship to get anywhere, it needs to be resting on the water.’
Are you feeling like you are sailing the Christian life
on dry land? Trying to live the
Christian life in our own power is frustrating at best. We try and try and try, but seem to end up
sailing toward defeat and fruitlessness.
Yet God still calls us to live a life pleasing to Him, bearing fruit for
Him in every good work.
Would God ask us to do something without giving us the
resources to do it? Of course not! He has given us the best Resource possible to
live a life in close, intimate fellowship with Him and that bears fruit for His
glory. How to walk in the Spirit is a great overview of the Spirit-filled
life.
How to walk in the
Spirit is part of the Transferrable
Concept series which gives foundational teaching on several topics and
concludes with a section for personal Bible study as well as some questions
leading to deeper discussion (great to use with groups).
Dr. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ
says that he wished that he has spent more time telling believers about how
they can be empowered to live the Christian life through the presence of the
Holy Spirit. So here’s my challenge to
you…tell as many believers as you can about how they can live victorious,
fulfilling lives as they walk with God.
Can you imagine what your country would look like if all believers were
walking in God’s power?!
