What does it mean to walk in the Spirit?
walk in the Spirit
Believers have the indwelling Spirit of Christ, the Comforter who proceeds from the Father (John 15:26). The Holy Spirit assists believers in prayer (Jude 1:20) and “intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (Romans 8:27). He also leads the believer into righteousness (Galatians 5:16–18) and produces His fruit in those yielded to Him (Galatians 5:22–23). Believers are to submit to the will of God and walk in the Spirit.
A “walk” in the Bible is often a metaphor for practical daily living. The Christian life is a journey, and we are to walk it—we are to make consistent forward progress. The biblical norm for all believers is that they walk in the Spirit: “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25, KJV; cf. Romans 8:14). In other words, the Spirit gave us life in the new birth (John 3:6), and we must continue to live, day by day, in the Spirit.
To walk in the Spirit means that we yield to His control, we follow His lead, and we allow Him to exert His influence over us. To walk in the Spirit is the opposite of resisting Him or grieving Him (Ephesians 4:30).
Galatians 5 examines the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer. The context is freedom from the Law of Moses (Galatians 5:1). Those who walk in the Spirit “eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope” (verse 5) and are free from the Law (verse 18). Also, those who walk in the Spirit “will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (verse 16). The flesh—our fallen nature under the power of sin—is in direct conflict with the Spirit (verse 17). When the flesh is in charge, the results are obvious (verses 19–21). But when the Spirit is in control, He produces godly qualities within us, apart from the strictures of the Law (verses 22–23). Believers “have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (verse 24), and now we walk in the Spirit (verse 25).
Those who walk in the Spirit are united with Him and are the bearers of the fruit the Spirit produces. Thus, those who walk in the Spirit walk in love—they live in love for God and for their fellow man. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in joy—they exhibit gladness in what God has done, is doing, and will do. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in peace—their lives are not defined by worry or anxiety (Philippians 4:6). Those who walk in the Spirit walk in patience—they are known for having a “long fuse” and do not lose their temper. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in kindness—they show tender concern for the needs of others. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in goodness—their actions reflect virtue and holiness. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in faithfulness—they are steadfast in their trust of God and His Word. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in gentleness—their lives are characterized by humility, grace, and thankfulness to God. Those who walk in the Spirit walk in self-control—they display moderation, constraint, and the ability to say “no” to the flesh.
Those who walk in the Spirit rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them in thought, word, and deed (Romans 6:11–14). They show forth daily, moment-by-moment holiness, just as Jesus did when, “full of the Holy Spirit, [He] left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness” to be tempted (Luke 4:1).
To walk in the Spirit is to be filled with the Spirit, and some results of the Spirit’s filling are thankfulness, singing, and joy (Ephesians 5:18–20; Colossians 3:16). Those who walk in the Spirit follow the Spirit’s lead. They “let the word of Christ dwell in [them] richly” (Colossians 3:16, ESV), and the Spirit uses the Word of God “for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). Their whole way of life is lived according to the rule of the gospel, as the Spirit moves them toward obedience. When we walk in the Spirit, we find that the sinful appetites of the flesh have no more dominion over us.

What is a godly man?
01/21/2019
English
Joseph ParkerJoseph Parker Writer for Engage
In the Word of God, there are many truths, insights, and stories that help to paint a clear picture of what a man is. They specifically paint a picture of what a godly man is. Now I should say very quickly, there is only one Man in all of the Word of God that perfectly paints such a picture for us. That man is, of course, the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone stands as our only perfect role model. He is the only man who lived a perfect life without sin.
There are, however, other individual characteristics that we find in some of the other men of the Bible that are definitely characteristics to be desired. In looking at the lives of many characters in the Bible, we learn important attributes and characteristics that men of God should seek to attain or receive into our lives as well.
Also, in this day and time, there is a tremendous need in the world for a clear understanding of what a real man – a godly man – is. And there is an outstanding need to paint a portrait of what a godly man looks like based on the wisdom of God’s precious Word.
What are some biblical characteristics, and some biblical standards that help us to see and define what a godly man looks like?
– He has received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of his life (John 3:16, and Romans 10:9).
– He seeks to be a man, like David, after God’s own heart (Psalm 23).
– He seeks to read the Word of God daily for himself (Psalm 1, Psalm 119:105).
– He spends time in prayer daily (Mark 1:35, Philippians 4:6,7, Daniel 6:10).
– He seeks to have time daily to bring the family together to read the Word of God, teach from the Word, and pray together (Deuteronomy 6:1 – 9, Ephesians 6:1–4).
– He makes time to train and instruct his children, teaching them about God, and the Word of God. (Deuteronomy 6:1–9, Proverbs 2:1–9, Proverbs 3:1–2, Proverbs 4:1–6).
– He seeks to lead and take his family to church regularly - such as worship service on Sundays and Bible studies on Wednesdays (Joshua 24:15, Hebrews 10:24-25).
– He has a sense of mission in his life. He seeks with a passion to fulfill the specific call of God on his life, whatever that calling may be (Romans 12:1-2, Colossians 3:1-3).
– He works hard to provide for his family (1 Timothy 5:8).
– He is a protector of his family (Matthew 1-2).
– He lives the life of a good role model for his family and others (Joshua 24:15).
– He has the wisdom and the courage to take responsibility and to deal with problems head-on. He takes responsibility and does not run from it (1 Chronicles 12:32).
A man, a godly man, has a love for God with the maturity and authority about him that sets him apart from the rest of the males in the world. A real man is seeking God and seeking to fulfill God’s purposes for his life. A real man has perspectives that are biblical and honorable.
A real man is someone who understands that women and girls are special and precious – and they are to be honored and protected by men. Real men understand that women are not objects to conquer or persons to be disrespected and used. A real man respects and honors women and girls. A real man does not take advantage of women. He respects women and will not be involved with a woman sexually unless he has won her heart and has put a ring on her finger in marriage.
The world in which we live is in need of faithful godly men. Pray that God will raise up many of them who understand the important place and call of God upon them to be men after God’s own heart in their home and in society and culture as well.

ML you write "Man is not the Boss of family he is a Leader. Many men don't know what that means"
Sounds like semantics.
I have heard people try to differentiate between truth and facts.
Yep! we are bitter old men and bitter old women, and we scare everyone else away from being on these blogs because all they find is a bitter old woman and bitter old men. We scare everyone else away.
