Foundational Truth Number Two for Walking the Christian Walk.
It is impossible for me to live the Christian life. I do not have the ability to spiritualize the natural man. It is only as the Holy Spirit controls my every thought and action that the life of Christ can be evident to the world around me. Every attempt to live the Christian life in my own power--self-will--leads to failure and exhaustion. I can't do it. The only way to give the Spirit control over my life is to saturate myself with His Word--the Sword of the Spirit. Hebrews 4;12-16 tells me that the Word reveals to me how God sees me so that I can run to Him in prayer: the prayer of "HELP"--I need your grace and mercy!! As He takes more and more control, I begin to "naturally" do the supernatural--walk as Jesus walked.
