You know when a person becomes born again, he or she is being led by the Holy Spirit. However, in as much as we meditate on the word and choose to follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit, the complete transformation into the fullness of Christ doesn't come all of a sudden, it goes through a process, a positive process (ref.: Mark 4:26-29). But as the person grows, there is the war against the flesh while focusing on the Spirit, strength is needed for spiritual growth. So, what are the important ways anyone born of God shouldn't take for granted?
Galatians 5:16 says "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
Meditation on the word of God builds spiritual strength. The word of God is living and active (ref.: Hebrews 12:4). The meditation on the word of God by one who is born again brings about revelation which is interpreted by the Holy Spirit for our spiritual growth (ref.: Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3).
Another way we can walk in the Spirit is through praise and worship of God. This is so powerful because praises repel the devil and its agents [who do everything within to distract you from focusing on Jesus].
Another reason why praise is so powerful is that when we praise and worship God it boosts our faith (ref.: Psalm 28:7, 103:1, 145:1). To praise is to focus on God and God alone, and the more we praise Him the more we put where He already is, far above every principalities and power, far above any challenge we can ever have, far above every name that exists and will ever exist, having the highest authority in heaven, earth and under the earth, and more (ref.: Psalm 105:1, 139:13-14, 145:3; 2 Chronicles 20:20; Acts 16:25-26.
As we do this, our trust and confidence in Him are heightened, and our spirit man is more alive as what we know is to walk and live by faith, and not by the flesh. We have complete rest in God which is our goal.
To walk completely in the Spirit is a process and the faster we grow into complete Spiritual living the more we live the absolute fullness of Christ here on earth. And meditation on His word and effectual fervent praise of God is a growth booster that we shouldn't take for granted.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
