"All that is outside the leading of God's Spirit is futile!"

A.W. Weckeman writes,
...The Christian life is a supernatural life that can only be lived by “Abiding in Christ”; maintaining an ongoing, intimate relationship with Him in His Word. Christ’s life is expressed through those who live in this vital union. Hence the apostle Paul’s statement in Galatians 1:16, “To reveal his Son in me…” The branches have no life or fruit of their own; they draw their life and vitality from their connection to the vine. No one, apart from this day by day, moment by moment abiding in Him, can live a fruitful Christian life. Spiritual living can only occur while habitually abiding in Christ; all that is outside the leading of God’s Spirit is futile.
...“The only way [to walk in the Spirit] is by learning to accept, day by day, the actual conditions and tests permitted by God, by a continually repeated laying down of our own will and acceptance of his as it is presented to us in the form of the people with whom we have to live and work, and in the things which happen to us. Every acceptance of his will becomes an altar of sacrifice, and every surrender and abandonment of ourselves to his will is a means of furthering us on the way to the High Places to which he desires to bring every child of his while they are still living on the earth.”
