Jesus hinted at that I believe when He said,<br /><br /> "Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, who clean the outside of the cup and plate, but inside are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. You blind fools! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? First clean the inside of the cup that the outside may be clean also."<br /><br />Jesus is saying if that if we get ourselves clean on the inside, the outside will take care of itself. He also said whoever feeds on Him will live because of Him. So what is our job? To feed off of Him. To receive His grace and His life.Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-87901704713432279452009-10-05T12:29:14.337-07:002009-10-05T12:29:14.337-07:00So walking by the Spirit is not really about outwa...So walking by the Spirit is not really about outward behavior but more about Him loving us and nourishing us with His life, then. He takes care of outward change. We don't think about that, we're caught up in enjoying Him.

We need to allow the Spirit to work in us! It's ALL by grace.<br /><br />Do you attend New Creation Church? Prehaps I have seen you on TV sometime. I record his show every weekday and watch them. :)Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-40958043552937232952009-10-05T08:00:02.409-07:002009-10-05T08:00:02.409-07:00Walking with Jesus is about listening to sermon re...Walking with Jesus is about listening to sermon revealing the beauty of Jesus and believing it. As you believe, your heart is renewed to think like Him.<br /><br />Pastor Prince ministry is to reveal Jesus. He is from New Creation Church, Singapore.

It's not living by rules or ...Pretty much. :) <br /><br />It's not living by rules or laws or man-made ways to achieve holiness. It's dependence on the Holy Spirit, trusting Him to lead us and not trying to devise ways to get our flesh to look pretty.<br /><br />It's being free and trusting in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. <br /><br />The thing about this is transformation can be slower than we want it to be, so we shouldn't focus on our behavior, but we should rather focus on the Lover of our souls. He isn't impatient, worrying whether or not we're holy enough. He made us holy forever by one sacrifice. "Through the obedience of the One Man, the many were made righteous." <br /><br />Until you are set free from and law mentality, you CANNOT be led by the Spirit.Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-46713714731681379432009-10-04T15:51:09.403-07:002009-10-04T15:51:09.403-07:00Can you give a one-sentence definition of "wa...Can you give a one-sentence definition of "walking by the Spirit"? That's one of the things I've been thinking about lately. Are you saying it basically means walking in friendship and communion with the Spirit?sparrow girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945773207784801981noreply@blogger.com
