The Walk in the Holy Spirit

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. and these are contrary the one to the other. so that you cannot do the things that you would. But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law” (Galatians 5:16-18, American King James Version).
“And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 24-25).
In this article, I would like to discuss the walk in the Holy Spirit, which we absolutely need to understand as Christians.
There are two different ways for believers to walk. One is to walk by the ”flesh,” and the other is to walk in the “Holy Spirit.” While many Christians believe that all they need is to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, Jesus tells us that it is not enough. They have to walk being led by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is telling us:
Death is not the End

I am so grateful that I could come back here after so many decades. I have completely forgotten when I came for the first time. I used to visit every week to teach the German language. The founder of this school gave me special permission to use the school's library any time I liked. He even encouraged me to talk about Jesus to his students. It was a very pleasant time. Although I have no idea when the seeds sown will be reaped, I am quite confident that no seed was wasted. Today, I am going to talk about this subject, “death is not the end.”
Thirteen years ago, a terrible incident occurred on September 11th in the United States. Huge numbers of people were killed instantly. These are the words written on the wall of a fire station of New York.
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it,
and only God knows why.
These words were made public. After all, no one can explain why and how it had to happen. The most dangerous answer to this question comes from religion. Whenever you go through an ordeal, religion always tells you that it occurred because of your arrogance, or perhaps that it was a divine punishment for the evil deeds of your grandfather. These are all lies.
