Understanding What It Means to Walk in the Spirit

The core theme of the sermon is "Walk by the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16).

Apostle Narcisse outlines three key sub-chapters:

Understanding the Meaning and Value of Walking in the Spirit
The Consequences of Not Walking in the Spirit
The Five Spiritual Capacities Required to Walk in the Spirit

1. Understanding the Meaning and Value of Walking in the Spirit

Walking by the Spirit means living in conformity with, under the influence of, and in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
A believer cannot be greater than their knowledge—spiritual growth is limited by understanding.
Knowledge is critical; God presents Himself as "The Word" because knowledge of Him is essential for a deeper walk.
Rejecting the knowledge of God is equivalent to rejecting God Himself.
Many Christians hear teachings but fail to internalize and apply them, which hinders transformation.
Mastery requires extra study, meditation, and application, not just attendance at church services.
He warns that partial obedience is still disobedience, using Lot’s wife as an example—she obeyed the command to leave Sodom but disobeyed by looking back, leading to her destruction.

2. Consequences of Not Walking in the Spirit

Those who do not walk in the Spirit experience spiritual stagnation, confusion, and disobedience.
Without full understanding and application of divine commands, believers experience the negative effects of living in the flesh.
Walking in the flesh leads to spiritual immaturity, distractions, and a lack of divine direction.

3. Five Spiritual Capacities Required to Walk in the Spirit

Apostle Narcisse begins listing five essential spiritual capacities needed to walk in the Spirit, though the full list is not provided in the excerpt.
He acknowledges Elisha, a church leader, for his alignment with the Spirit, reinforcing that sensitivity to the Spirit’s direction is crucial.
He emphasizes that walking in the Spirit is the highest level of spiritual maturity, not just church activity.

Key Takeaways

Spiritual Maturity is Measured by Obedience to the Holy Spirit, not church attendance or activity.
Partial obedience is equivalent to disobedience—believers must fully understand and follow God’s instructions.
True transformation requires deep study, reflection, and practice of God’s Word, beyond just listening in church.
Walking in the Spirit brings divine direction and power, while ignoring the Spirit results in stagnation.
A true believer must cultivate spiritual sensitivity—like Samuel, who grew up in the temple but initially did not recognize God’s voice.

Conclusion: The Urgency of Walking in the Spirit

Apostle Narcisse challenges the congregation to go beyond passive Christianity and actively seek spiritual knowledge and understanding. He emphasizes that spiritual agitation and distractions prevent growth, urging believers to commit fully to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

Final Exhortation:

"Walking in the Spirit is a daily commitment to following the guidance and influence of the Holy Ghost."
"Show me how submissive you are to the Holy Spirit, and I will tell you your age in the things of the Spirit."
"Being active in church is not a sign of maturity—obedience and submission to the Spirit define true spirituality."
