Sermon Overview
Reidhead defines "Walking in the Spirit" as a "continuous yielding" to the Resident Teacher. He argues that the "Flesh" is always present, but its desires are "neutralized" as the believer actively listens to and obeys the Spirit’s promptings. This is presented as the "Normal" way to live a life that is pleasing to the Father.
Key Principles
Controlled Falls: View your walk as a "Series of Controlled Falls"—continual dependency on the Spirit’s support.
Continuous Yielding:Practice a moment-by-moment "Yes" to the Resident Teacher; refuse to take back the wheel.
Neutralizing Flesh:Rely on the "Fullness of the Spirit" to neutralize the natural desires of the flesh.
Writing the Law: Trust the Spirit to "write" the desires of God’s heart into your own natural instincts.
Overcoming via Fullness: Rely on the "Fullness of the Spirit" as the only way to overcome the lusts of the flesh.
Spirit-Fruit Result:Look for the Fruit of the Spirit as the natural, effortless result of walking with Him.
Maintenance on the Go:Practice "Confession" and "Reckoning" on the go to maintain your spiritual momentum.
Simplicity of the Walk:Strip away religious complexity; focus on the "Simplicity" of listening and yielding.
