Operating in Holy Spirit mode is a process that many are unaware of. Naturally, we operate in flesh mode. This is to operate in our mind rather than our spirit. We are made body, soul, and spirit. Till we are born again in the spirit we are blind to the spirit or as the Bible says we are dead in the spirit. Through the born-again experience, our spirit is born again. This means that our spirit was cut off from God before this experience. God says that he will give us a new heart. This is similar to the parable of new wineskins to store new wine.
Baptism in The Holy Spirit
Now we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit which is also called the baptism in the Holy Spirit. This is a separate experience from the born-again experience. Some may be born again and be baptized in the Holy Spirit at the same time. God decides this but it is also dependent on correct teaching. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is to enable the power of God to help us in our walk. Most Christians are satisfied in knowing the word of God but not His power. This means that they are still walking in the flesh rather than the Spirit. This is where we see many conflicts in the church because some are walking in the Spirit while others are walking in the flesh. In the Spirit, there will be unity.
Walking in the Holy Spirit
Walking in the Holy Spirit is a process. We start in baby steps and progress to walking, running and some may even fly in the Spirit. Paul talks about beginning in the Spirit and then walking in the flesh. This happens so easily as our default position is to walk in the flesh. God is calling us to be hot for Him. We cannot get slack in our walk. We must be on fire all the time as our enemy will try to get us walking in the flesh. Today determine to operate in Spirit mode and be victorious.
