(Galatians 5:17 NKJV) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
You know the feeling you get on the inside, when you know you’ve done something wrong and you hope it goes away, but it doesn’t? It keeps on prodding you until you do what’s right. It’s like a struggle between good and evil taking place on the inside of you.
This is the feeling of war, and it is very draining. These are things we don’t ignore but, instead, press in to God and find out what is going on if we don’t know.
Our flesh will try to get its own way 100% of the time. But just so we all know, the flesh is not what Christian’s should follow. (Galatians 5:24 NKJV) And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
The flesh is what we walked in before we knew God. But after we’ve received Him as our Savior, we need to crucify the flesh and all of its wrong desires, and let God’s Spirit lead us.
If there is a war going on inside of us today, we need to figure out what we are doing wrong. When we crucify the flesh, the Spirit will lead us and peace will come. This is a hard one to do because at times we like what the flesh likes.
Remember… we don’t always do what we wish to do, we do what is RIGHT.
