“So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, in which there is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our God and Father; and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ.” – Ephesians 5:15-21 NASB2020
Today is my last of celebrating my personal Pentecost, which 54 years ago on the 31st of July, Jesus baptized me in the Holy Ghost and with His fire!
The book of Ephesians speaks of three postures of the believer: sit, walk, and stand. Today I want to share on walking in the Spirit.
The instruction given by Paul is very clear. He admonished us not to be foolish or to be unwise. Make the most of your time for the days are evil; redeem your time.
I have ministered to so many people who continually are in a fog on what the will of God is. Paul gives a clear explanation for us to understand. Do not be drunk with wine where is debauchery, excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures. BUT be filled with the Holy Ghost!
If we are to redeem our time in these days, the ongoing filling of the Holy Ghost is the will of God for us. Before you do anything for Him, be filled with His Spirit. The translation is keep on being filled! (Continually)
As Jesus said, out of your innermost being shall flow rivers of life. Walk in the rivers of God, the Holy Gost rivers. These rivers are what the Psalms are all about, David understood this by revelation. Speaking to one another in Psalms, hymns, and spirit songs (singing in the Spirit!), yes, in tongues. This is not just in your devotional, but Paul says to one another. Making a melody of thanksgiving in your heart, giving thanksgiving to the Lord. This is very visible and to be heard by believers around you.
Always to Him is the sacrifice of thanksgiving, presenting ourselves a living sacrifice. There is no fear of man; no believer should be timid or afraid. Rebuke those who want to quench the Spirit in our midst. Let the rivers flow and the word of the Lord come forth out of you.
This is His will, forget about those who do not understand this. Stay in the fear of the Lord and be subject to one another in the Holy Ghost! If you walk in the Spirit you will not fulfill the deeds of the flesh. I give You thanks Jesus for your wonderful and powerful promise, given to me 54 years ago. God the Holy Ghost! Hallelujah!
