Examples of walking in the Spirit whereby we overcome our own flesh

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

The apostle Paul says:  Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  (Gal. 5:16)



People of this world often try to make their flesh better by setting up "New Year's Resolutions", and such things.



This is flesh trying to control flesh and it will not work!



(Our flesh never gets better because it is always flesh and the works of the flesh are the following:  Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  Gal. 5:19-21)



We, who are of God, learn to control our flesh by the Spirit of God who lives in us as we choose to walk in the way of the Spirit as HE reminds us of things of God to show us the way to go on this earth.  This works!



And each time we choose to walk in the instruction of the Word of God, we are conformed once more into the image of Christ, The Word!



As long as we live on this earth, we live this way by the Spirit of God, following the Word of God.



And at the end of our lives on this earth, we are welcomed into the kingdom of God by Jesus as having overcome on this earth through the Spirit.



Revelation 3:5  Jesus says:  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
