Living from the Spirit means shifting focus from external pressures to God's inner presence. The speaker describes how centering on the Spirit's peace, love, and joy can resist anxiety and depression, transforming outward life from within rather than being driven by circumstance.
When I learn to live in the Spirit, I stop just obsessing about what's around me, and I start focusing on who lives in me. When I live in the Spirit, the pressures of life that should cause depression and anxiety are held back by the protective force that is the peace, the love, and the joy of the Spirit. So that even when I don't feel in my emotions that I'm close to God, I know in my spirit that we are one. So that even in my emotions, when I don't feel like He accepts me, I know in my spirit I'm His child. To live aware of the exterior, mastering the soul, and focusing through the perspective of the spirit. To live in the moment. To be born of the Spirit is to see in the Spirit, to walk with the Spirit, and to allow the influence from within to change everything without.
