There is only one answer in the battle of our flesh ... the gift of the
Holy Spirit through Christ. The fact that nearly everything we do each
and every day ... eat ... drink ... sleep ... work ... exercise ... play
... is for the benefit and life of our bodies. Whereas the things that
feed our spirit ... prayer ... studying the word ... ministering to
others ... our testimonies for Christ ... these may be but a fraction of
our time. But as we continue to grow in grace ... and feed our spirit
... we will overcome the lusts of the flesh ... and flourish in the
fruits of the Spirit.
Galatians 5: 16-17
Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh
Galatians 5: 19-21
Now the works of the flesh are ... Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness ... Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, jealousies,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies ... Contentions, murders,
drunkenness, revelings ... that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God
Galations 5: 22-25
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith ... Meekness, temperance: against such there
is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with
the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in
the Spirit
