Galatians very plainly tells us how to confront the problems we encounter with our flesh.
Galatians 5:16 KJV
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
Galatians 5:16 NLT
“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.”
It’s not enough to try to not do what we shouldn’t do. We must be occupied doing what we should do.
1 Corinthians 13:1 NKJV
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.”
Ephesians 3:16 AMPC
“May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].”
The more from God we want, the more we have to get ourselves out of the way. Whenever God wants to bring us into something, we have to _____ ____ of something else.
The choice is yours.
You’re constantly sowing.
Galatians 6:7-8 AMPC
“Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked [a]by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and [b]that only is what he will reap.
For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”
Life is all about making the decision that you’re gonna sow to the spirit and not to the flesh.
You’ll never become so spiritual that your flesh never gives you any trouble.
Sow to the _______ and you’ll reap life.
Sow to the _______ and you’ll reap ruin, decay, destruction.
The decision is ours and we’re making that decision several times, every day, as long as we live.
Depend on God and allow Him to work in your life.
Revelation 3:19 AMPC
Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude].
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.
He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne.
Which door in your life is God knocking at?
Matthew 26:41
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
God can use your situation to make you a better believer.
It’s already out of your control so you just have to __________ how you’re gonna respond.
It helps to ask God for His help.
Be patient with the process.
We have to allow God to prepare us for the dreams and desires we have.
How you act in the ___________ matters.
We’re not ready to have a thing until we can be happy _________ it.
God wants us to have as much as we can handle.
James 1:2-4 AMPC
“Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.”
When you got born again, you received the __________ of God and all of its fruit into your spirit. It just has to be ______________.
