Living a life guided by the Holy Spirit

Was just reading the scriptures today... Gal 5... So encouraged by it... God gave us grace and liberty to live a freed-up life. He wants us to be able to enjoy ourselves, not bounded by laws --> legalism... But on the other hand, He doesnt want us to live a sinful life cos of the liberty --> antinonianism. Our lives should still be a consecrated life, a life which will bring Him glory and honour.

So many ppl struggle to lead a balanced life, a life which glorifies His name. Why? Cos they are not living a life which is guided by the Holy Spirit...

Gal 5:
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 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. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

When you live a life that's guided by the Holy Spirit, you will keep the law automatically as the Holy Spirit keeps the law. It'll not be a struggle, it's not difficult... If you just allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in all that you do! And this is not all!!!

Gal 5:
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

These are the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which I yearn for so earnestly. These are fruits which show that one is spiritually matured... Not that I want these fruits to show off but these are what makes good character... What we should be working towards in our lives! It doesnt end here...

Gal 5:25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

As this chapter comes to an end, we ought to follow the Spirit's leading in all that we do... Make a decision today, that you will be obedient, that you will yield to what God is telling you, showing you and guiding you... Amen? :)
