This I say then, Walk in in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Galatians 5:16-17
There is a battle that is raging within the Christian. It is an ongoing war between our flesh and the Spirit. That is a reality. We have a choice to either walk in victory in the Spirit or tread down the path of the flesh and live in defeat. The flesh is the enemy within and the devil is our enemy without.

God has provided the Holy Spirit and His Word. We have all that is needed, but we must make a choice. I say choose wisely and you will bring glory to God with the redeemed life you have in Christ Jesus.
