INSTEAD OF MY FLESH.

BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW.
IT'S VERY HARD TO DO BATTLE WITH OUR FLESH. ONCE WE GET OVER OURSELVES,THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITH US. CHRISTIAN CHARACTER IS PRODUCED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,NOT BY OUR OWN EFFORT.THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ARE LISTED GALATIANS CHAPTER 5:VERSE 22. VERSE 19 THRU 21 IS THE LIST OF THE WORKS OF THE FLESH. THIS IS VERY HEAVY STUFF. PEOPLE MAY GIVE YOU ADVICE ON HOW EASY IT IS TO DEFEAT THE FLESH,BUT TRUST ME IT IS NOT EASY UNLESS YOU PRAY WITHOUT CEASING,AND READ THE BIBLE. IN ONE CASE YOU ARE TALKING TO GOD,AND IN THE OTHER HE IS TALKING TO YOU.DO NOT LET YOUR HEART CONDEMN YOU,REMEMBER,GOD IS GREATER THAN YOUR HEART.DO NOT WAIT UNTIL TROUBLE IN THE FLESH ARRIVES,TO GET HELP. COVER YOURSELF IN THE SPIRIT,SO YOU CAN WITHSTAND THE INCOMING ASSAULT. A WARNING I MUST GIVE......SOMETIMES FOR SOME PEOPLE ITS JUST EASIER AND LESS TROUBLE IF YOU JUST LIVE IN THE FLESH,AND IGNORE THE POWER GOD THAT HAS THE POWER TO PROTECT YOU.ANOTHER NOTE: WAY TO MUCH WORLDLY INFLUENCE IN CHURCHES TODAY.I AM PRETTY SURE THE SCRIPTURE REFERS TO IT AS IDOLATRY. BUT THERE ARE ALSO MANY SPIRIT FILLED CHRISTIANS.REMEMBER CHAPTER 6 OF GALATIANS VERSE 7. BE NOT DECEIVED : FOR WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH,THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP.SOW TO THE SPIRIT,AND NOT TO THE FLESH.MY HEAVENLY FATHER,HELP ME FEED YOUR SPIRIT THAT LIVES IN ME,INSTEAD OF MY FLESH.AMEN.
