ARE WE REALLY WALKING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT?


Anyone who claims to be walking with the spirit, must bear fruits.

Our fellowship with the holy spirit is never a destination but a progressive growing relationship, because of this, we are required to keep growing in the spirit; to keep in step with the spirit( Galatians 5:25).

By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Mathew 7:16-20

  • Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes?
  • can a good tree bear bad fruits?

The evidence of our walk with the holy spirit is seen in the kind of fruits we bear; by their fruits you will recognise them(Mathew 7:20). The holy spirit in you bears witness that you are a child of God and one way he does it is through the fruits of the spirit. Galatians 5:22-23, but the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law.

We need to examine ourselves to know whether we are bearing fruits or not. If we are not bearing fruits then it may be that we are not growing spiritually.

If we are wanting, then we need some growing up in the spirit. We need to keep in step with the spirit( Galatians 5:25), let’s keep growing in the spirit so that we can bear fruits or else we will be seen as ‘fake’ christians. Those that walk with the holy spirit, bears fruits.

So now ask yourself, am I really walking with the holy spirit?
