Are we really walking in the spirit?

Paul said in Roman 8:14 "for as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God." He said again in Galatians 5:17 "for the flesh lust against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would." The following are 10 questions that can help you determine whether you are led by the Spirit or by the flesh.

1. How is your worship? Do you truly engage in worship or just ride along with the song?
2. How well do you get along with others that are different than you? I'm not talking about morality differences. (race, personality, etc.)
3. Does it talk you a long time to get over the fault of another.
4. How much time away from Church do you spend in personal devotions?
5. Do you genuinely enjoy your time in Church? (Heb. 10:25)
6. Does it ever frustrate you when Pastors, Evagelist, etc. take time to talk about teach the importance of giving prior to receiving an offering?
7. Does it ever bother you when someone does what you do better than you in the place where you you do it?
8. Are you quick to argue when you know you are right?
9. Can you keep a secret? (1Pet. 4:8)
10. In the last 5 days how many people have you personally presented with the the Gospel message?

If you scored poorly it may be that you are too led by the flesh verses the Spirit. I want to encourage you to allow the Spirit of God to lead you daily in everything that you do.


God bless you.
