My salvation I receive the Holy Spirit but how to walk in the Holy Spirit requires surrender.
See when you have legs, this is what legs do. Legs carry the weight of your body.
Legs, I can even put a backpack on and my legs will carry it. My legs help me
to go from point A to point B. My legs help me to move faster. If I have legs but they don't walk,
I will have to crawl my body with the strength of my arms. Some of us live our Christian life
with the strength of a human arm. We have the Holy Spirit, we just don't walk in the Spirit.
We can even speak in tongues and not walk in the Spirit, and therefore we live in the flesh,
instead of walking in the Spirit. But today something is gonna change because God is gonna
use me as a Peter and a John, and I will look to you and say, "Listen young man and listen young
woman. Life In the flesh has come to an end. Life in the Spirit must begin at this campus
revolution. You cannot be a leader in your campus until you are a follower of the Holy Ghost."
We either walk in the flesh having the Holy Spirit.
Or we walk in the Spirit, having flesh.
When you got born first time, the devil gave you a gift. It's called the flesh.
When you got born second time, God gave you the gift called the Holy Spirit.
So the question today is not what you have.
It what you walk in. Every Christian has a flesh and every Christian has the Holy
Spirit. Life in power and life in holiness, life of Kingdom impact doesn't rest on solely having
the Spirit. It's in walking in the Spirit. You can have legs but if you don't walk in them,
they won't carry the weight of your body. The weight of your dreams, and the goals,
and the callings, and the gifts, can be carried by the power of the Holy Spirit. You cannot live a
holy life because you have the Spirit. You can live a holy life because the Spirit has you.
The same way is you don't move from point A to point B because you have legs.
You move from point A to point B when you can walk in those legs.
Babies don't walk, they have strollers and many of us Christians are on strollers.
That's why we have to be bribed and constantly begged to come to church. We can't walk on our
own. That's why some of us, we constantly need to be motivated to serve God because we're not
walking in the Spirit. That's why some of us are asking God for secondary things. We beg for
alms. We ask for power, we ask for blessings. Nothing wrong with that but the first thing
you should ask for is what David asked for, that I will see the face of God. David says,
that I will know God and my soul pants for the living God. Your prayer should be, "God,
I want to walk in the Holy Spirit." Money, education, the rest of the stuff will take
care of itself but if I walk in the Holy Spirit my life will change. There's so much limitations
that exist when you don't walk. Same thing happens in a spiritual life. There are so many
limitations that exist when we have the Spirit and just because you got Him, it doesn't mean He has you.
To walk in the Holy Spirit, we have to talk with the Holy Spirit. So not only He wants
to have a communion with me, but I also have to talk to Him. Now communion is a two-way
street. Holy Spirit does not say in here He wants you to pray to Him. Even though we can
because He's God. He says He's our partner and friend in life. He wants us to talk to Him and
not just to talk to Him when we need help. He wants you to talk to the Holy Spirit because
He wants to be your friend. So to walk in the Holy Spirit talk to the Holy Spirit.
