Vision Church HTX - Dr. Deryck Hunte

God has already spoken but are you still holding on to what He said? In LEVELS Pt. 5, we’re challenged to examine what happens when life, disappointment, distractions, and delays cause us to forget the Word God gave us. When circumstances change, **God’s Word doesn’t.** What He said still matters, and what He promised still stands. It’s time to stop allowing what you see to make you forget what God said. Remember His Word. Trust His timing. Stay obedient. Keep moving forward.

What’s keeping you in the same place when God is calling you to another level? We’re confronting the habits, mindsets, fears, distractions, relationships, and cycles that can keep us stuck spiritually. Sometimes the problem isn’t that God hasn’t shown us the next level, it’s that we’re still holding on to what belongs to the old one. There comes a point when we have to ask ourselves: What am I allowing to keep me here It’s time to examine what needs to change, what needs to be released, and what God is requiring from us in this season. We can’t expect to experience something different while continuing to live, think, and respond the same way. We can’t keep living like this. It’s time to LEVEL UP.

There is a constant battle between the flesh and the Spirit, and winning that battle requires more than knowing what’s right, it requires choosing to be led by the Holy Spirit daily. In this conversation, we unpack what it means to recognize the desires of the flesh, respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, take responsibility for our choices, and stop overriding the checks God gives us. The Holy Spirit gives us restraint, conviction, and direction, but we have to choose to listen. The flesh doesn’t have to win. Walk by the Spirit. Be led by the Spirit. And keep choosing God, even when nobody is watching.

The battle is real, but the flesh does NOT have to win. In Part 14 of “Don’t Let Your Spiritual Fire Go Out!”, we’re confronting the daily battle between the flesh and the Spirit. Being saved doesn’t mean the struggle disappears. We still have to make the intentional decision to walk by the Spirit, deny the desires of the flesh, and allow God to transform the way we think, respond, and live. The flesh wants control, but through the power of the Holy Spirit, we don’t have to surrender to it. What we feed will grow, and if we want to keep our spiritual fire burning, we must continue feeding our spirit with prayer, God’s Word, worship, obedience, and time in His presence. 🔥 Don’t feed what God is calling you to crucify. 🔥 Don’t allow temporary desires to overpower spiritual discipline. 🔥 Stay filled with the Holy Spirit. 🔥 Keep your fire burning. 🔥 DON’T LET THE FLESH WIN!

The conversation continues! In this Bible study, we’re going deeper into Sunday’s message, “What’s On Your Playlist? The Influence of Music." What we constantly listen to has the power to influence our thoughts, emotions, desires, and even our spiritual appetite. Our playlist doesn’t just reveal what we like, it can reveal what we’re allowing to influence us. In this conversation, we’re challenging ourselves to examine what we’re feeding our spirit, walk consistently in the light, and make sure the things we consume are producing fruit instead of pulling us backward. It’s not simply about restriction, it’s about recognizing when our souls need a detox. So the question is: What’s on your playlist, and what is it producing in you?

What’s on your playlist? and more importantly, what is it pouring into you? In “What’s on Your Playlist? The Influence of Music,” we’re taking a deeper look at the power music has over our thoughts, emotions, behavior, and spiritual lives. Music may seem like entertainment, but what we consistently listen to can influence what we think about, what we desire, and what we allow into our hearts. This conversation challenges us to examine our playlists and ask: Is what I’m listening to feeding my spirit or feeding my flesh? Is it drawing me closer to God or influencing me in the opposite direction? It’s not just about the beat, it’s about the message we’re allowing to play on repeat in our minds. Tune in, examine your playlist, and be intentional about what you allow to influence you.

The conversation continues as we go deeper into Sunday’s message, “Don’t Let the Flesh Win.” Being saved doesn’t mean the battle with the flesh disappears. Every day, we are faced with a choice: will we allow our flesh to control our decisions, desires, and actions, or will we choose to walk by the Spirit? In this Bible study, we unpack what the flesh really is, how it operates, and why understanding what we’re fighting is necessary if we want to win the battle within. The flesh can make us feel trapped, disguise its desires as something good, and produce behavior that pulls us away from the life God has called us to live. But through Christ, we have a choice. We don’t have to keep being controlled by the same desires, habits, and temptations. It’s time to stop putting confidence in the flesh, put it in check, and learn how to truly walk in the freedom God has given. The battle may be within, but the flesh doesn’t have to win

There is a battle happening every single day, and the question is: Who are you feeding, your flesh or your spirit? In this message, “Don’t Let the Flesh Win,” from the Don’t Let Your Spiritual Fire Go Out series, we uncover what it really takes to stop allowing the desires of the flesh to control our choices, habits, reactions, and relationship with God. The flesh will always try to pull you toward what is comfortable, familiar, and immediately satisfying. But God is calling us to something greater. We cannot keep asking God to take us higher while continuing to surrender to the same things that keep pulling us Winning against your flesh doesn’t happen accidentally. It requires surrender. It requires discipline. It requires denying yourself when your feelings are telling you to do otherwise. Most importantly, it requires learning to consistently walk with the Holy Spirit. You don’t have to obey every desire you feel. You don’t have to keep repeating the same cycle. You don’t have to keep losing the same battle. Your flesh may fight, but it doesn’t have to win. It’s time to stop feeding what’s been fighting your spiritual growth and start strengthening what God is developing inside of you.

The greatest battle you’ll ever fight isn’t always around you. sometimes, it’s the battle happening within you. In this Bible Study, we go deeper into Sunday’s message, “Winning The Battle Within,” and unpack what it truly means to walk by the Spirit when your flesh is pulling you in another direction. Winning requires more than knowing what’s right, it requires choosing the right voice, staying committed to the right path, and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you when the battle gets difficult. You may stumble. You may struggle. But the battle isn’t over just because you had a bad moment. Victory is found in who you keep choosing to follow. In this conversation, we’re going beyond the sermon and getting honest about the fight between the flesh and the Spirit, the choices that shape our walk with God, and what it takes to truly WIN THE BATTLE WITHIN.

DON’T LET YOUR SPIRITUAL FIRE GO OUT! Winning The Battle Within: How To Finally Choose The Right Path Some of the greatest battles you’ll ever fight won’t happen around you , they’ll happen within you. Every day, there is a battle between what your flesh desires and where the Spirit of God is leading you. Winning that battle requires a decision: Who will you allow to lead your life? In this continuation of the Don’t Let Your Spiritual Fire Go Out series, we’re discovering that victory within doesn’t happen by accident. It comes when we intentionally choose the right voice, commit to the right path, and surround ourselves with the right team. Your flesh has a voice. Culture has a voice. Your past has a voice. Social media has a voice. But the voice you consistently follow will ultimately determine the direction of your life. You cannot continue walking a lower path and expect to live on a higher level. God is calling us beyond simply knowing the Holy Spirit to actually walking by the Spirit. It’s time to become teachable, change the path we’ve been walking, and make choices that align with where God is trying to take us. The battle is within. The choice is yours. And through the Holy Spirit, you can win.
