Pastor Rick Beaudry exhorts us from Galatians 5:16–18 to embrace God's recovery program: a continuous, commanded walk in the Holy Spirit that overcomes the lusts of the flesh. He contrasts worldly recovery efforts that only treat symptoms with the Spirit’s work that crucifies the flesh, brings conviction, and produces lasting transformation, illustrating with Joseph, David, family stories, and personal prayer for prodigals. Beaudry warns against sensual, man‑centered counterfeits and technological or psychological substitutes, reminding us that victory depends on who controls our lives: flesh or Spirit. He closes with a message of hope from Jeremiah and Romans: keep surrendering, yield to the Holy Spirit, and trust God to complete the work he began.
