- Spirituality is not a permanent state you enter into the moment you get “zapped” with some kind of spiritual experience. It’s simply receiving the living Word daily from God, letting it dwell in you richly, and then living in obedience to it through moment-by-moment walk in the Spirit.
- All christians are spiritual-at least that is our position in Christ and because we possess the Holy Spirit. To be “spiritual” simply means to possess the Holy Spirit.
- While all christians are spiritual positionally, they are not always spiritual practically by unholiness in their lives and not receiving the Word.
- A basic mark of true Spirituality is a deep awareness of sin.
- The ultimate objectivity of spirituality is to be like Christ. It’s not something you could attain by any one-time experience or through some subliminal technique.
- The right road to true Spirituality is the one marked “Walk by the Spirit"
- The first step in being filled with the Spirit is to yield to the Spirit in our daily walk.
- NT reveals that being filled with the Spirit brings forth the fruit of the Spirit, not the gifts of the Spirit.
- To be filled with the Spirit means to live every moment as if we were standing in the presence of Jesus Christ.
