Galatians 5:16

This I Say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  In reality, that is more than a formula. It is a promise. If you do this that will happen.  God’s Secret weapon against the devil’s sabotage of our testimony is simply to, “Walk in the Spirit”. But what does that mean? How do I do that?  I believe the answer is found back in Galatians 2:20,  My old self has been crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live, But Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. ”Walking” refers to my day-by-day journey through life.  That Journey is filled with challenges.  Decisions have to be made; inter-actions with people who share my world have to be negotiated; set-backs, disappointments, responsibilities, frustrations, hopes and fears have to be dealt with.  That is the stuff of which our journey is made.  If I set out into each day, trusting in my own ability to negotiate these challenges, I must expect failure, for then I shall be “walking in the flesh”. I shall be relying on my own human resources to see me through. Try never to make the mistake of asking the Lord to help you live a victorious day.  That is like the flesh asking the Spirit to help it to have victory over itself!  The Holy Spirit will not help the flesh.  He has pronounced it dead!  It is not the flesh that will gain vicotry.  It is Christ alone who will be victorious or there will be no victory at all.
