The Benefits of Walking in the Spirit
There are many benefits if we learn how to walk in the spirit. To begin with, we learn how to hear God's voice correctly. His voice can guide us and lead us on the right path that will bring blessings. How important it is for us to hear the voice of God through our spirit and avoid the pitfalls of sin. We were created to contact God through our spirits. Your conscience is the voice
of your spirit. Anytime you are not walking in the spirit, God’s voice gets filtered through our soul, which causes us not to hear God’s voice clearly and correctly.

Pro 3:6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 AMPC
In our walk with the Lord we must trust Him in everything we do. We must acknowledge Him in all that pertains to our lives. Everything, every moment, every situation and with everything we have we must trust in Him and know He is there with us. In this knowing we must include Him in all we do, say and think! When we live our lives like this our conscience, which is our spirit, will be in tune with Him and follow HIs direction. We will listen to the small and quiet voice of our spirit, rather than the loud shouting and demanding voice of our soul & flesh.
When our trust is in Him and we are listening to the Spirit of God as He talks to our spirit, we will walk in the divine order God has predestined and ordained for each and everyone of us. When we walk in the Spirit God will protect us. As we read in the Book of Psalms chapter 91 verse 1 when we dwell in in His presence He will cover us.
Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
-Psalm 91:1-KJV
Psa 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].
-Psalm 91:1-AMP
Psa 91:1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
-Psalm 91:1-AMPC
-Psalm 91:1-KJV
Psa 91:1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].
-Psalm 91:1-AMP
Psa 91:1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
-Psalm 91:1-AMPC
Dwelling in the secret place is Walking in The Spirit. When we Walk In The Spirit, we are walking under the shadow of our God's awesome power, protection, provision, prosperity and direction. We will hear His voice. We will listen to His voice and allow Him to lead us as the Psalmist said, "beside cool waters, lay us down in green pastures and in the presence of our enemies prepare a table for us!"(Psalm 23)
As we recognized yesterday, there is a battle. There is a struggle between the flesh and the spirit. The Devil tries to have us rely on our flesh. He attacks our flesh and hopes we surrender to our flesh bringing us into ultimate defeat. God has provided us with a full suit of armor that we must put on every day we are alive. As we walk in the Spirit, wearing the armor of God that is designed specifically for believers, can't no devil in hell defeat us, depress us, overtake us or bring us to the ruin he has so strategically, personally and demonically designed against each of us. We must remain in the spirit, not in the flesh. We must believe what the Word Of God and the Spirit of God tell us and ignore what the world and our flesh tell us. We can have victory, not just for a moment or a temporary situation. We can have a victorious life each and every day we are alive!
Always remember the devil doesn’t want your spirit man to mature. He wants you to live a spiritual “stunted life,” and he wants to dominate you through your soul. Our souls need restoring, cleansing, and delivering. Yes, our soul needs to come in line under the subjection of our spirit man. We need our spirit man to become strong in the Word so that it will rise up to take authority. When our spirits are in control, we grow up and become strong. If our spirits do not develop and gain control, our souls will take over, which gives inroads to the demonic world.
