Walk in What You’ve Been Given

“We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us…”

“Yet not I, but Christ who lives in me.”

Those aren’t just verses for coffee mugs and t-shirts. That’s TRUTH. That’s identity. That’s the reality for every single born-again follower of Jesus. If we actually believed that and walked in it daily, everything in our lives would look different.

Let me talk to the believer for a second—the one who keeps falling into the same sin cycles, the same discouragement, the same defeat. Every time we compare our struggle or our yielding to the flesh with a disciple in Scripture who missed it, who failed, who messed up… we’ve got to realize something: those moments happened before they were transformed. Before they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Before the resurrection. Before Pentecost. Before power came.

Peter denying Jesus? That was before the fire fell. That was before he stood up in Acts 2 and boldly preached the Gospel, and thousands got saved. That was before he was FILLED with the power to say no to sin and YES to righteousness.

You’re not living pre-Acts 2. You’re living post-resurrectionpost-Pentecostpost-Spirit. You’ve got the SAME Spirit living inside of you that raised Jesus from the dead. That’s not just good preaching—that’s straight out of Romans 8:11.

So let me ask you—what did you spend your mind and body doing yesterday? Did you invest your thoughts, energy, and conversation in your burdens? Your complaints? Your aches, pains, hang-ups, frustrations? Did you spend more time feeding your flesh than stirring your spirit?

Because if you did… then friend, you didn’t walk in the Spirit. You walked in the flesh. And when we walk in the flesh, we deny—not with our words, but with our actions—the Spirit’s ever-present power in our lives.

Now pause… because I’m not saying that to guilt trip you. I’m not here to condemn. I’m not here to discourage. I’m here to empower you.

Because here’s the truth: YOU. HAVE. BEEN. GIVEN. THE. SPIRIT.

You’ve been equipped. You’ve been sealed. You’ve been filled.

You’re not waiting on God to do something. He’s already done it. The question is—will you walk in it?

You are not helpless. You are not weak. You are not stuck.

You’ve got access to resurrection power. You’ve been made new.

You’ve been given the authority to overcome, to choose righteousness, to live by the Spirit and not gratify the desires of the flesh.

So today, right now, I’m telling you—WALK IN THAT.

Walk in the identity He gave you.

Walk in the freedom He paid for.

Walk in the Spirit you have received.

And don’t look back.

Let the world see what a Spirit-filled life actually looks like.

DUDE!!! Walk in that today. No excuses. No delay. The Spirit of God LIVES in you—what are you waiting for?
