Walking in the Spirit
Father God, in the name of Jesus, today I choose walk in the Spirit and not fulfill
the deeds of the flesh. For if I live according to the flesh I will die, but if by the
Spirit I put to death, on a daily basis, the deeds of the body I will live. It is my
desire and prayer that I live my life being continually led by the Spirit of God; for
then I am a child of God by character. I did not receive the spirit of bondage
again to fear, but I received the Spirit of adoption by whom I cry out Abba Father.
The Spirit Himself bears witness with my spirit that I am a child of God, and if a
child, then an heir; an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ, if indeed I suffer
with Him, that I may also be glorified together. Therefore I choose to be a radical
doer of the Word of God and not a hearer only lest I deceive myself. I possess
my soul and bring everything thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. I
seek those things that are above where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.
I set my mind on things above, not on things on the earth; for I died and my life is
now hidden in Christ in God. I put to death my members which are on the earth:
fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
I put off the old, carnal, sinful nature of the old man: anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy language out of my mouth, offense, pride, self-centeredness,
and lying. I put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the
image of Him who created him: tender mercies, loving kindness, humility,
meekness, longsuffering, forgiveness, and above all love, which is the bond of
perfection. I am bearing the fruit of the Spirit and crucifying the deeds of the flesh.
Thank You, Lord for the strength to walk in the Spirit daily in Jesus' name, Amen.
