This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
Maybe you have hit bottom with personal guilt and you are now fearful of becoming hardened to your sin. It is possible to no longer feel guilty about your sin. When that happens, you are in danger of becoming reprobate-minded. So, the very fact you feel guilty is good!
You have heard this verse and even read this verse but the question is how do we apply this verse?
Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh! That is the remedy for the flesh but how do we walk in the Spirit? I will keep it simple and straight from the Book (Bible).
Apply the three D’s
Take each fruit of the Spirit and distinguish if you have them in your life when naturally they would not appear. This will help you know if you are in the flesh or not. Often people fall into great sin by small degrees! David’s first sin was not murder nor adultery but the negligence of duty!
Read Galatians 5:17-23
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5
We cannot live the Christian life without dependency on Jesus! We plug our phones in and we gas our vehicles up why? Because they need energy to perform. You may look like a Christian and act like one for a while but if you are not depending on him it will show up in your attitude and appetites!
David would later testify – Evening, and morning and at noon, will I pray and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. Psalms 55:17
