129 Walking in the Spirit #9 - ‘The Fourth Step: Walk … After The Spirit - Part 1’

In this episode of Walking in the Spirit, we begin the final section of Chapter 10 of The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee and spend some time looking at a word that Paul uses repeatedly in Romans 8: walk. Nee draws attention to the fact that Paul tells us to walk after the Spirit, and that immediately raises a question. Why walk? Why not work, strive, achieve, accomplish, or produce?As we work through the passage, we look at the difference between a walk and a work, between trying to do something for God and learning to live in dependence upon Holy Spirit. Romans 8 presents the Christian life as something very different from self-improvement, religious effort, or personal determination. The life of a son begins with dependence and continues in dependence. The Father never intended us to produce the Christian life for Him. He gave us Christ as our life, and Holy Spirit is committed to bringing that life into expression as we learn to walk with Him.About AlexAlex is from the UK and he teaches and disciples across nations after years serving in Poland.
