Walking in Spirit, Inner Freedom

Galatians 5:16-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Galatians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Galatians 5:16-18

Biblical Context

Galatians 5:16-18 urges you to walk by the Spirit so the desires of the flesh are not fulfilled. It says the Spirit and the flesh oppose each other; being Spirit-led frees you from under the Law.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text you are not asked to wage war against your body, but to awaken to the I AM which already walks in you. When you 'walk in the Spirit,' you are simply recognizing the one life that governs every moment, the Spirit that is never at odds with itself. The so-called flesh and Spirit are not rival selves but two readings of the same consciousness; you have merely been identifying with the former. As you yield to the Spirit, you find that the old cravings lose their claim, not by denial, but by re-identification—awareness shifts from the restless sense of lack to the spacious presence that supports all possibility. You are not under the law when you live as the led-by-Spirit I AM, because the law is a parchment for the unawakened mind; your awakening makes it obsolete. Practice this shift: claim now that you are led by the Spirit, feel the spacious calm of your true nature, and watch external appearances align with that inner reality as a natural fruit of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the premise: I am led by the Spirit now. Feel that reality already present, guiding your next thought and step.
