Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

Duration: 1 hr 5 mins 42 secs

Do you view God as a good luck charm? Sadly there are people who think like that. Listen to this lesson to hear about an event in Israel when the tribe of Dan were in apostasy. They were homeless because they had not trusted God to take possession of the land He had given them, so they moved in on other people’s homes. See how their actions resulted in apostasy spreading throughout the land. Understand that when this occurs the only way to recover is to turn back to God.
