Podcasts about walking in the spirit

This episode addresses a tension many believers feel but rarely understand: why truth, rules, and even Scripture can feel lifeless or oppressive. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, Dr. Jim explains that the issue is not the Word of God, but the absence of dependence on the Spirit of God. True Christianity is not self-powered obedience but Spirit-empowered life.Topics DiscussedThe meaning of “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life”Why truth without the Spirit produces frustration rather than transformationHow rules and standards provoke rebellion when divorced from graceThe difference between self-effort Christianity and Spirit-enabled obedienceWhy the solution is not rejecting the Word, but relying on the SpiritKey TakeawaysThe Bible is never the problem; dependence on self is.Obedience without the Spirit leads to defeat, not freedom.The Spirit gives life to truth, enabling joyful, willing obedience.Christianity only works when Christ Himself is the source of power.Real freedom comes through surrender and faith, not self-discipline alone.

Today's sermon is Walking In The Spirit Defeats The Flesh by Ed Taylor Find more teaching from Pastor Ed at www.edtaylor.org

The sermon centers on the indispensable role of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life, distinguishing between the Christian life—defined by faith in Christ's salvation—and the spiritual life, which requires a continual, intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. It argues that while salvation is a one-time event where the Spirit regenerates, indwells, seals, and baptizes believers into Christ's body, the ongoing spiritual life cannot be achieved through human effort or self-discipline, as the flesh is inherently sinful and incapable of producing righteousness. Drawing from Scripture, especially Galatians and James, the preacher confronts the pervasive lie of self-improvement and pride, asserting that true spirituality comes only through surrender, humility, and dependence on the Spirit's power, not human will. The message calls believers to repent of their self-reliance, embrace their spiritual helplessness, and submit fully to the Spirit's leading, resulting in transformation not by personal effort but by divine empowerment.

The sermon presents a compelling call to rediscover the Holy Spirit as the central power for the Christian life, arguing that evangelical Christianity has unintentionally marginalized the Spirit's active role despite Jesus' clear teaching that His departure was to the believer's advantage. Drawing from key passages in John, Romans, and Acts, the preacher demonstrates that the Spirit is not merely a divine force but a personal presence who teaches, leads, speaks, bestows spiritual gifts, produces fruit, inspires worship, and shares intimate fellowship with believers. The sermon challenges listeners to assess their spiritual lives through seven biblical marks of the Spirit's work, urging a personal inventory of how fully the Spirit is operating in their lives. It distinguishes between spiritual maturity—built over time through discipline—and spirituality, which is the immediate, dynamic relationship with the Spirit available to every believer upon salvation. Ultimately, the message is a passionate plea to stop quenching the Spirit and to embrace the fullness of His presence, which Jesus promised is more advantageous than His physical presence, because the Spirit enables a deeper, more transformative, and more intimate walk with God.

We keep in step with the Spirit by a continual surrendering of our lives to the will of God. His will is revealed to us in His Word. As we follow and obey the Word of God, we are walking by the Spirit. As we abide with Jesus through prayer and worship, our hearts stay in tune with the Holy Spirit.Main Points:1. In the New Testament book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul instructs us to keep up with the Holy Spirit. God is leading our lives. We have put Him in the driver's seat. We have yielded the control of our lives to Him. In fact, we have made Him the Lord of our lives. Our job is to follow. We don't know where we are to go or how we are to live, so we must follow. 2. As Christ followers we have given up being the master of our own lives because we have discovered a better master. We've discovered that following Jesus is worth it and there is no better life to live.3. As you draw near to God, listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit as He guides you to walk in step with Him. Today's Scripture Verses:Galatians 5:25 - “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.Galatians 5:16 - “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”Galatians 5:24 - “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus.

Paul says that if we sow to the flesh, we shall from the flesh reap corruption. Note that he doesn't say we'll reap destruction from God, but from the flesh. That's pretty good motivation to walk according to the spirit, and not according to the flesh!

It's been a challenging week on Set Free as Ken Legg has encouraged us to think less of our 'self' and more on God. He says that if we esteem self, defend self, exert self, assert self, trust in self or boast in self - it's obvious that we'll live a very self-absorbed, insular life. But if we deny self and walk by faith in God, Christ's life will flow out of us. And that's the life we want to live!

If you've been listening to Ken Legg's messages on Set Free you'd know that he's passionate about being set free from legalism and the law. But he also encourages us to live a righteous life too. So, how CAN we live righteously without being legalistic? It's an interesting balance between the two, and Ken Legg explores that today on Set Free.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In recent years there has been a real focus on the need to increase self-esteem, particularly in children and teenagers. But Ken Legg says something pretty controversial today on Set Free???.he says that this concept of needing to enhance our self-esteem is actually foreign to the Word of God! God doesn't want us to focus on self - either self-esteem OR self-belittlement - he wants us to focus on Him instead.

The Bible describes the Christian life as a 'walk' - we can walk through life with God by our side. Today on Set Free, Ken Legg asks if we're walking according to the flesh, or walking in the spirit? Are we walking God's way, or walking just to please ourselves?

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we allowing anything—sin, pride, fear, or worldliness—to grieve or quench the Spirit of God in our lives? Have we invited the Holy Spirit not only to dwell in us but to fill us completely and lead us daily?As we close this four-part series on receiving God's power, we are left with a profound and essential truth: the Christian life is not lived by our effort, strength, or resolve, but by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering us. Jesus' words in Luke 24:49, “Tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high,” remind us that we must first receive before we can obey. The Spirit of God is given at salvation, yet His filling is to be sought and received daily through surrender, humility, abiding in the Word, and prayer. We've seen that sin, pride, fear, worldliness, and even careless speech can grieve or quench the Spirit, hindering His work in us. But as we yield every part of our hearts—removing the “Private” signs on locked closets—the Spirit fills, sanctifies, convicts, comforts, guides, teaches, and glorifies Jesus through us. He is the very presence of God within us, the engine of our walk, and the power for our witness. Just as the early disciples turned the world upside down after receiving the Spirit, so too can our lives bear fruit when we are wholly surrendered to His leading. May we be a people marked by His power—not for show, but for the glory of Christ alone. And may this teaching not remain a concept but become our daily cry: “Lord, fill me afresh. I can't—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.” Amen.

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we daily depending on the Spirit of God, or are we still trying to live the Christian life in our own strength? Have we fully surrendered every area of our heart to the Lord, letting Him fill us completely?In this rich and practical reflection on Luke 24:49, we come face to face with the essential truth that the Christian life cannot be lived apart from the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus' command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” invites us to a life of continual dependence, surrender, and intimacy with God. Receiving His power begins at salvation—when we are born of the Spirit—but it continues as a daily walk of being filled, sanctified, and led by Him. The Holy Spirit, both Holy and wholly consuming, moves into every area of our lives, cleansing, empowering, and conforming us into the likeness of Christ. We cannot overcome sin, bear fruit, or fulfill God's commands by striving in our own ability; instead, we yield to His presence, abide in His Word, and walk in surrendered obedience. As we empty ourselves of self-sufficiency and acknowledge our deep need, the rivers of His Spirit rush in—bringing life, power, and fruitfulness. Christ is not just our example—He is our life. And when we truly grasp that He does the work in and through us, we find freedom, joy, and strength to walk out the life He's called us to live. Let us stay in that place of dependence and surrender, continually receiving His power, that we may be vessels through which Christ is glorified.

Walking in the Spirit | Pastor Matthew Medick | 11/16/2025 by Redeeming Love Church

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Have we truly been born from above, receiving the promise of the Father through faith in Christ? Are we walking in the power of the Spirit, or still striving in our own strength?As we continue meditating on Jesus' command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), we see that the power of the Holy Spirit flows first from a right relationship with God—through being born again. This promise of the Father, long foretold by the prophets, is fulfilled through the finished work of Christ: His death, resurrection, ascension, and exaltation. From that place of completed redemption, Jesus now pours out His Spirit upon those who are His. We, like the disciples, are called to respond in simple, trusting obedience—to wait on the Lord, to gather in unity with His people, and to seek Him in prayer. Their obedience led to an outpouring of God's presence and power that transformed them from fearful followers into bold proclaimers of the gospel, bearing fruit for the Kingdom. We are reminded that spiritual fruitfulness does not come from striving but from abiding—yielding ourselves to the Spirit's filling, that Christ might live His life in and through us. As children of God, we are not only called to obedience but also empowered for it, through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Let us remain in Him, united in purpose, dependent in prayer, and confident in His power to do what we never could on our own.

When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we living the Christian life in our own strength, or are we truly depending on the power of the Holy Spirit? Have we taken time to tarry before the Lord, to receive His enabling presence?As we come to the close of Jesus' earthly ministry, we are drawn to His clear command to His disciples: “Tarry... until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). This call to wait—to be still before going—reveals a cornerstone truth of the Christian life: we cannot live out the commands of Christ without the empowering of His Spirit. Jesus had shown them the way, given them the Word, but He knew they couldn't walk in it unless He Himself lived it out through them. This promise of the Father—the indwelling and continual filling of the Holy Spirit—is the fulfillment of ancient prophecy and the foundation of every believer's strength. As we receive His Spirit, He not only opens our eyes to the Scriptures (Luke 24:45), but also works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). We are reminded that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5), but with Him, we are clothed with divine power—dunamis—the very breath and force of God, enabling us to live the life to which we've been called. Let us confess our utter need, wait on Him, and allow Christ to do in us what we could never do alone. “I can't—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.”

Recently in our walk through the book of Galatians, we have celebrated the freedom we now enjoy as followers of Jesus (“Christ has set us free!”; 5:1). The apostle Paul explained what we've been freed for (“for freedom”; 5:1), what we've been freed from (we are no enslaved to the “desires of the flesh”; 5:17), and what we've been freed by (“for through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness”; 5:5). In this passage, Paul will further explicate the purpose of our freedom: how are we now freed to live as God's people? Join us as we discover and pursue what it means to walk in freedom!

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Seth Keenum one more time to review what we've learned from the series and discuss God's restorative work in our lives that happens as we walk in the Spirit. 

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Romans 8:1–11, calling the church to reject carnal thinking and live by the Spirit. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Freedom from sin and death comes only by the indwelling Holy Ghost, empowering believers to live in peace, obedience, and victory. The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us, giving life now and the promise of resurrection to come.

In this episode of the Ps+ we discuss the paradigm of preparation for the spiritual battle we have in our daily walk with Christ.
