Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh

Hello all of you

Yesterday morning as I got up, God spoke to me.

Gal 5:16 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
5:17 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.
5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

God simply put verse 16 in my heart. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Now before we go on, lusts in this context speaks of the works of the flesh made manifest, not only sexual lust, but all things that the flesh nature is and wants. Anything which is not the fruit of the Spirit.

The lust of the flesh comes out of the mind of the flesh, and the mind of the flesh can not submit itself unto God. This causes quite the predicament. In our hearts we carry the Spirit of God, and we want to be led by him. If we however lend our ears and minds to the preaching of the law of Moses, our minds are polluted with doctrines concerning the flesh and the mind of the flesh. This causes the sinful nature to revive, and the law causes forbidden lusts to surface and assume control of our bodies, and minds. Now the mind of the flesh can not submit unto God (Rom8:7). This means that the longer we are exposed to the law, the more we are subject to the carnal desires of the flesh, which are stirred up by the law, and causes the mind of the flesh to arise, which can not submit unto God. Rom 7:8 But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment [to express itself], got a hold on me and aroused and stimulated all kinds of forbidden desires (lust, covetousness).

So now what? The answer is clear in Galatians 5:16. We need not try to conquer our flesh nature. The flesh nature was killed 2000 years ago on the cross. We need to realise that we have died, and live who we really are, people who are devinely called. People filled with the Spirit of the Most High God. Christians, who believe in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We need to walk in the Spirit in stead of trying to fix the flesh first.

The answer is not in trying not to sin. Victory is not in refraining from the desires of the flesh. Victory is in walking in the Spirit. Victory is in letting the Spirit express Himself through us.

You have already been justified freely by His grace. Don't feel condemned about your sin. However great it may seem, the price Jesus paid was greater! If you had done something condemnable, the source of your fleshly deed comes from meddling with the flesh. It means that your mind had been dwelling in the law, which tells you to change the flesh, and sin used its opportunity and stimulated the desire in you, which ultimately expressed itself in a fleshly deed. The flesh was manifested. Your flesh deed does not annull what Jesus Christ did for you. What you believe is much more important. YOU ARE FORGIVEN!

If you want to live in constant moral victory, you need to really take notice of what I am saying now. Repent from yourself, your own sinfulness, your sin, your law. Turn to Christ, His salvation, His cross, His blood. Never take your mind off Him! Life is in Him. Everything you need is in Christ. You have been placed in Christ already. You have free access to Christ NOW. Turn to Him, receive His forgiveness, which has no conditions. Keep on thinking on Him. You are in Christ.

Don't try to fix what you did. Don't try to make promises. You will break them. You need to realise that Jesus loves you despite your sinfulness. That's why He died, and washed you in His blood. Thats why He made you holy. Its by His mercy, His grace, and His decision. You just get the rewards.

I don't care what you struggle with. Break away from it. Walk in the Spirit, in stead of walking in the flesh. Walk in the light, in stead of trying to make yourself better. The light is this message: His grace is there for you. You are forgiven! You are already holy. You have been made holy by Him. He loves you all the same. Forget the what if's. You are already with him. One with Him forever.

I pray that Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to you, and that you will experience His love. Forgetting what lies behind. Knowing His love for you, is walking in the Spirit.

Bless you
