The Power of Character Formation

I wish so badly that someone would have explained this to me about how life in the spirit works when I was a younger Christian. This is what it means to walk in the spirit and in the realm of the spirit. When we are attacked, our character is maligned. Our response is actually one of peace or grounded and it just comes out of us. We didn't have to conjure it up. No, it's in you, alive and working in you.
