Question: Are we as christians able to live in the Spirit of God? Do we need to forgive to be forgiven? What is God's order for man? If we are in a fallen state how do we get back to God? If you asked yourself these questions you are looking for truth not just to feel good. I was wondering why I was not receiving God's promises. I still had anger. I was still suffering. I felt I knew who God was but I didn't feel the spirit was giding me through life. Once I went and forgave my mother and father then I was truly a child of God. Finally living in the spirit of God and living out his promises. Living in the spirit is not only possible it is Truth. To live in the spirit I must forgive my worldly Mother and Father so I can go back to the Father in heaven.
