WALKING IN THE LETTER OR THE SPIRIT OF THE LETTER

There is a big difference between walking in the letter of the word or the spirit of the word. The difference is as large as walking on earth or flying. To walk in the letter is to be obsessed with every dot and cross of the letter. To walk in the spirit is to fly in the spirit girded by the word of God. To be letter bound is earthly. To be spirit bound is heavenly. If you desire to walk in the spirit then be prepared to fly. For in the spirit you are no more bound by the laws of gravity. To be in the letter is to be bound by that letter. In the spirit you are free to be. Many are bound by the word and can't see the wood for the trees. Their life is so taken up by the letter that everything is according to the letter. There is no room to breathe for the spirit is squashed by the letter. This is the danger when man decides to live by the letter rather then the spirit of the letter. Jesus came to set us free from this obsession with the law. He gave us His Spirit that we may now live according to the Spirit and not according to the demands of the flesh. Be filled in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit today.
