Walk By The Spirit | Blake Bradley | The Roads Church

What does it truly mean to walk by the Spirit? In Walking by the Spirit, Blake Bradley takes us to Matthew 26 and the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus modeled complete surrender to the Father's will before going to the cross. From there, Blake connects Jesus' example with the teachings of Romans 8 and Galatians 5, reminding us that every follower of Christ faces a daily choice. Will we live according to the desires of the flesh, or will we surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Jesus did not simply teach obedience. He demonstrated it. In Gethsemane, He prayed, "Not as I will, but as You will," choosing the Father's purpose even when it came at great personal cost. Because of His sacrifice, we have forgiveness, new life, and the gift of the Holy Spirit to empower us to live differently. As Blake unpacks Romans 8 and Galatians 5, he explains the ongoing battle between the flesh and the Spirit. The flesh continually pulls us toward self, sin, and compromise, while the Holy Spirit leads us into freedom, holiness, and a life that reflects the character of Christ. Walking by the Spirit is not about trying harder. It is about surrendering more completely to God's leadership every day. This message also calls believers to remain spiritually awake through prayer, stay rooted in God's Word, and refuse to let culture, emotions, or personal desires shape their lives more than the truth of Scripture. Just as Jesus urged His disciples to "watch and pray," we are invited to depend on the Holy Spirit and follow Christ with wholehearted obedience. Whether you are seeking direction, struggling with temptation, or longing to grow deeper in your relationship with Jesus, this message will encourage you to trust the Holy Spirit, surrender your will to the Father, and faithfully walk in step with Him.
