I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16 NKJV
This is a promise/truth that we can use, Paul says that we can live a life not gratifying the desires of the sinful nature. IF we walk in the Spirit. Walking under the Spirits control gives us absolute victory over the desires of the flesh. So how do we walk in the Spirit continuously?

One thing that has really stuck out me from our book we are reading was to pray specific prayers. Therefore, we need to be specific about identifying our sinful desires and struggles and then pray specifically that God will protect us from those desires or shortcomings.
ReplyDeleteI have also fount it helpful to deal with everything in the present. Walk is present tense. So often I find myself dwelling in the Past or worrying about the future. When Paul tells us to simple walk! I fount these verses helpful. Psalm 103:12 "As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." & Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. I find it easier to be obedient when my mind is not racing in so many directions.
