Galatians 5:25.  Tony van Drimmelen.  Some people interpret the Spirit-filled life as a life of resting.  They wait for the Holy Spirit to direct them and if they don’t feel the Spirit moving, they just sit tight.  Paul commands us to walk by the Spirit (v.16) and to live by the Spirit and to keep in step with the Spirit (v.25).  We have the Spirit’s marching orders to have the faith that expresses itself through love (v.6).  As we make the choice to step out, God determines what will happen in us.  By the power of His Spirit we produce spiritual fruit (vv.22,23) which serve to identify us as those who belong (v.24) to Jesus.
