Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. 

In this week’s episode we talk about the war within - the flesh vs. the spirit. A lot of people assume that when you start to give your life to Christ, life becomes “easier”; everything settles, and it’s all sunshine and roses. So when they don’t expect the war that begins when they give their life to Christ, they begin to blame God. You guys, let me make this as clear as it can possibly be. When you give your life to Christ, the enemy works overtime to ruin your life. The war within is a spiritual war that attacks your spirit, but feeds your flesh. When you live as the world lives, you feed your flesh, meaning your spirit already lies with the enemy, so your flesh no longer is in conflict with the spirit.

However, when you give your spirit to Jesus, the flesh begins to fight. It tries to win every battle. However, scripture says, if you walk by the spirit, you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. It doesn't say you will never experience the desires of the flesh - but "gratify" the desires of the flesh.

How about we get straight into this week's topic, as there is so much to unpack. Join me as I share more on this spiritual and never-ending war within.
