Galatians 5:16-18 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
One lady asked me, “I don’t want to walk in the flesh, how do I not do it?” Like many believers, that lady doesn’t want to be fleshly, but is finding it difficult and doesn’t know how to do it. She tries not to fornicate again, then she does it again. She’s frustrated and disappointed. How can she stop walking in the flesh?
Well, What does the Scriptures say? :
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH, WALK IN THE SPIRIT. Why that?
Because the flesh is warring against the spirit all the time, and the spirit against the flesh. The two are ANTAGONISTIC to each other. The things the spirit wants to do, the flesh doesn’t like it; and the flesh doesn’t also enjoy what the spirit wants.
So what do you do? Your decision centre which is in your SOUL is usually in the middle of this flesh/spirit battle. And your will and emotions are in your soul, and you must commit them to walking in the spirit. Choose to walk in the spirit which will be building with SILVER and produce Life as against the GRASS and death of the Flesh.
Beloved, don’t just promise yourself not to satisfy the desires of the flesh – YOU ARE A SPIRIT BEING, SO INTENTIONALLY WALK IN THE SPIRIT and you will silence the flesh. Glory to God! It’s a beautiful week in His name for you. Say AMEN!
GRACEFUL MORNING
