Followers of Them

Hebrews 6:12 KJV
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

We are to be followers, but we are to be particular followers and choose wisely to only follow those who walk with "faith and patience." plenty walk in the flesh. Some do it obviously making an open show of it. Others walk in the flesh subtly making it appear that their very flesh is the Spirit. They manipulate and push and drive, all in the name of God and all in a false walk in the spirit.

We will know those who walk in the spirit because they will walk in faith and patience. They will be characterized by less of a desire to perform and more of a desire to please and glorify the Lord. Their's will be more of a patient trust in the Lord, allowing Him to do the ministry He chooses rather than a driving personality, attempting to get their will done.

Those are the sorts of believers we need to follow.
