Living In The Spirit

"But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)"

ROMANS 8:9

To live by the spirit is to live like the wind. It is not visible, but the wind is most certainly real. The Spirit of God is the same. To know God is to know Jesus. To know Jesus is to walk with him - to be shown his way of life. This can only be done by living in the present moment dependent on God. He lives in the current moment. 

To live in the spirit is to be guided by Jesus - his way - the way - it is the opposite of the way most live in this world. The purpose of this time is written - not to be changed. Seek Jesus - seek the Holy Spirit with all your heart and mind and be free in Jesus Christ. 

The nature of the natural lived life is one in which the unknown creates fear and anxiety. Whereas the nature of the spiritual life is to live life in the unknown. The spiritual life is guided by being aligned to God. It is in him that we are certain. The spiritual person is concentrated on God while walking in the unknown.
