Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the works of the flesh

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

When we hear the Spirit of God as HE brings information to our mind, and we do that instruction, walking in the Spirit, we free ourselves from that which the flesh would have us to do. 



For we can't go both ways.  If we obey the flesh, we deny the instruction of the Spirit.  And when we walk in the way of the Spirit, we keep the flesh crucified by the word of God. 

The flesh is never good.  Flesh never improves.  We can control flesh by doing that shown us by God but our flesh never gets better.



The apostle Paul said:  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:  (Romans 7:18)



Galatians 5:19-21   



Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,  Idolatry, witchcraft (superstitions), hatred, variance (to vary), emulations (to try to beat other people), 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.



Humans often think man is basically good.



But God says:  Genesis 6:5  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.



Jesus said:  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.  (John 5:30)



It is when we hear from God and do that which God tells us to do that we do "good" on this earth.



This is what we as Christians learn to do, follow the Spirit of Jesus WHO is in us.
