Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion
Devotional for October 19th
Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
- Galatians 5:25
Insight
God is interested in every part of our lives, not just the spiritual part. As we live by the Holy Spirit's power, we need to submit every aspect of our lives to God—emotional, physical, social, intellectual, vocational. Paul says that because we're saved, we should live like it!
Challenge
The Holy Spirit is the source of your new life, so keep in step with his leading. Don't let anything or anyone else determine your values and standards in any area of your life.

“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”--Galatians 5:25
It’s okay not to be able to see the whole path ahead of us. All we have to do is have the faith to take one step at a time...

Verse of the Day 8-11-22
Verse of the Day 8-11-22
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25
The for “keep in step” is different from the word for “walk” in Galatians 5:16. It means to march in step with your commander so that he can lead you step-by-step. Therefore, the Holy Spirit must be included in every move we make if we truly want him to lead us. We are to live based on the divine perspective of…

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” —John 14:26 (ESV)
“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.” —Galatians 5:16-25 (NLT)
“Who Is The Holy Spirit?” Devotional Day 5 - “Is that You, Holy Spirit?” By Switch (Life.Church):
“Remember the magic of radio we talked about a few days ago? It feels magical, but if you understand a little bit about radio waves, towers, and antennas, some of the wonder fades. Hearing the Holy Spirit’s voice is sort of the same way. We never really lose the wonder, but when we learn how God speaks, it can start to feel more natural.
So, how do we know it’s actually the Holy Spirit’s voice in our head? It’s not as hard as you think. Remember that God wants to speak to you, and He built you to hear His voice. When you hear or feel something you think might be God, you can run it through a few simple tests to be sure.
First, test it against the Bible. Is that voice in your head asking you do something that doesn’t match up with God’s character as described in the Bible? If so, then it’s probably not the Holy Spirit. God never lies. And God will never direct us to sin or to make wrong choices. He loves humanity deeply, even the people that you don’t like.
So sometimes, He’ll ask us to do things that we’re sort of uncomfortable with, like giving someone a second chance after they hurt you or going out of your way to encourage someone you’d rather ignore.
That’s why reading the Bible is so important. The Holy Spirit can use what you read in the Bible to teach you about God’s character so that when you hear His voice it sounds familiar.
Next, you can test it against your own selfishness. As humans, we’re naturally selfish. So, when that voice in your head says to do the unselfish thing, or to think about someone else first—that’s probably the Holy Spirit. You know how it feels when a parent or a teacher encourages you to do the right thing, and you really don’t want to do it? On the inside, you resist it. That little rebellious voice—that’s not God. But, the voice that’s asking you to do what’s right instead of what’s easy—that just might be the Holy Spirit.
One final test—does it sound like something Satan would do? I know this one’s probably obvious, but if you haven’t read much from the Bible, it can be easy to confuse his voice for something good. Satan always makes things sound good, but one of the Holy Spirit’s jobs is to give you something called discernment. Basically, that means the Holy Spirit will help you recognize when something is coming from Satan instead of God. So, if the voice in your head is asking you to do something that sounds a little off, but you can’t quite pinpoint the reason—that’s probably the Holy Spirit helping you recognize the wrong voice.
Sometimes, people can throw God’s name around like a badge to do and say some ridiculous and sometimes hurtful things. Don’t do that. If you ever feel like God is telling you to do something that could hurt someone else, it’s probably not God.
There’s actually a great bonus test we find in the book of Galatians. It talks about the fruit of the spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, and faithfulness. The Holy Spirit’s promptings will line up with those outcomes. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit asks you to be a little more loving. Or patient. Or kind. But He’ll never ask you to be the opposite. He’ll never ask you to be impatient or hateful.
And the great news is that if you aim to please God, He will honor the intent of your heart and make His voice obvious. Jesus said, “My sheep know my voice.” So don’t worry. When He speaks, you’ll recognize Him.
Tomorrow, we’ll bring this all together. Now that you know who the Holy Spirit is and how He speaks, it’s time to start a conversation with Him.”

"PRACTICE SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE"
If I were to choose the most important thing as the key that has kept my marriage united and healthy, I would have to say it is loving my husband and family more than myself and practicing spiritual warfare EVERY DAY!
Since we are spiritual beings, we cannot direct our combat against a human person. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, “For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and…

How to Overcome Sin & Bear Fruit | Eric Gilmour [Galatians 5]
The Bible teaches us how to live free from sin &
walk like JESUS in Galatians 5:16-25 we see three
keys that help us understand the spiritual life
that is living in victory over sin and
becoming like JESUS v.25 there's this
interesting statement Paul says
if we live by the SPIRIT
1.] Awareness of SPIRIT's Presence
This is life received on the inside, this is being
born again; he who has the SON, has life.
If you don't have the SPIRIT, you are none of HIS
—it is the SPIRIT coming in on the inside born of
HIS SPIRIT washed in HIS blood.
This SPIRIT gives life & so if we have that
conviction, the SPIRIT bears witness with
my SPIRIT that I'm a child of GOD.
that I live by the SPIRIT that knowing that
conviction knowing that I have been born
from above.
He says if you have that, he says then walk by
the SPIRIT—he actually says in v.16 as well
if you walk by the SPIRIT you will not carry out
the desires of the flesh which shows us some-
thing that you've been born from above, and
the SPIRIT lives on the inside.
That is the convicting presence of CHRIST.
The presence of the SPIRIT in your life, HE says:
if you live by walking is a term used in Scripture
for your life. John says I have no greater joy than
to see my children walking in the truth.
It has to do with the way you live your life, so
Paul is saying you have a conviction that you've
been born from above—live in that conviction
of HIS presence.
if you live/walk by the SPIRIT you will
not gratify the desires of the flesh or
carry out the desires of the flesh which
shows us the desires of the flesh is to
walk your life by a lack of awareness
of the presence of the ONE WHO is
inside of you
So if you live by the SPIRIT & you don't walk by
the flesh, you will carry out the desires of the
SPIRIT—so live by the SPIRIT.
Stay in that living by the SPIRIT, by
walking aware of the presence
you are convicted by is in you..
by being born again
2.] New Covenant Freedom From Law
Praise GOD & then lastly he says if you are led
by the SPIRIT, you are not under the Law which
obviously under the Law means required to
keep these commandments.
If you break them, there's a curse upon you
that's been eradicated by the new covenant
—which is the covenant of the SPIRIT
HE puts HIS SPIRIT in our hearts.
This is the new covenant, but even more so
the new covenant of the SPIRIT makes us
above the Law
—which means you don't just not envy, you
don't just not lie, you don't just not commit
adultery..
You don't have those things in your heart any
more—in other words your heart is living
above those things.
• It's such a higher degree
• It's a newness of life
This is being like CHRIST because the SPIRIT of
CHRIST—on the inside of you, is causing these
things.
Love & joy not just theologically actually,
experientially love & joy & peace & patience
This comes from being led by the SPIRIT which
has to do with yielding to the internal guidance
& impressions of the presence you're aware of
• that you've been born again by
3.] Three Ingredients for Victory
So three things the Bible shows us about living
in victory over sin, and walking like JESUS if you
live by the SPIRIT—that conviction you've been
born again from above:
[a] walk by that conviction
[b] walk by that awareness of HIS presence
& we will not carry out the desires of
the flesh & lastly
[c] yield to all the impressions of that
new nature on the inside of you & you'll
live above the Law with love/joy/peace
& patience/goodness/kindness/faithful
-ness/gentleness & self-control
The Bible teaches us how to live in victory over
sin & like CHRIST again we're all growing in this
We all desire to walk this way.
So may grace come upon us to live this out & not
just know it—but actually to have its reality in our
lives by the person of the SPIRIT having all of our
attention.
us yielding ourselves to HIM that's the key
This is the spiritual life
GOD bless you guys
Galatians 5:16-25 | Keeping Your Nose Clean
¹⁶ So I say, walk by the SPIRIT, & you will not gratify
desires of the flesh. ¹⁶ But I say, walk by the SPIRIT,
& you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the SPIRIT,
& the desires of the SPIRIT are against the flesh, for
these are opposed to each other, to keep you from
doing the things you want to do.
¹⁸ But if you are led by the SPIRIT, you are not under
the Law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident:
sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry,
sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, and
rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ²¹ envy, drunken-
ness, orgies, & things like these.
I warn you, as I warned you before, those who do
such things will not inherit the Kingdom of GOD.
²² But the Fruit of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things
there is no law.
²⁴ And those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have
crucified the flesh with its passions & desires.
²⁵ If we live by the SPIRIT, let us also
keep in step with the SPIRIT.

"If you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it." Exodus 20:25.
Whenever man modifies what the LORD God has made or overrules God's decree, the result is defilement and depravity, which produces death.
Sex reassignment surgery, same-sex union, every unnatural or unlawful sexual relation is a blatant insult against God, the holy Designer and Maker of the human body. Such things defile man - "Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.“ 1 Corinthians 6:18.
He who defiles himself cannot see God. Galatians 5:19-21 reads, “ Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Revelation 21:8, “ But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Fruit is the External Result of an Internal, Invisible Process
Fruit is the External Result of an Internal, Invisible Process
Why Fruit?
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:22-25 NASB) What do you know about fruit? The Bible has used it…
