In Galatians 5:16 Paul says, Walk by the Spirit. in verse 25 he goes on to say, If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. ... Today the Spirit is the very Christ who has come into our spirit and who now mingled with our spirit. Our need is to live according to this spirit. The more we live by walking according to the mingled spirit, the more we shall be filled in spirit unto all the fullness of God. Then we shall know how to call on the name of the Lord, how to speak to others, and how to sing and testify... We must admit that we are still under the influence of traditional Christianity. We were born into this environment and raised under this influence. But in the Lords recovery we must cast off traditional Christianity, especially the traditions related to formal meetings. Our meeting should not have a formal beginning. Instead, they should begin spontaneously through our exercise of the spirit. .. We shall simply gather together to have a spontaneous exhibition of the riches of Christ for the building up of the church. Because of the influence of tradition and the natural concept, it is very easy for us to meet in a systematized way... In our daily living we should be a certain kind of person, one who contacts the Lord, calls on His name, speaks to others about Him, and who sings praises to the Lord. Then when we come to the church meetings, we should continue to be this kind of persons. In this way our activity in the meetings will exhibit our exercise in our daily walk.
