The Spirit: the Antidote to the Flesh

**The Spirit - **

the Antidote to the Flesh

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. — Galatians 5:16

  1. You must walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh

    1. The Christian Life is often related or represented as a walk or journey
    2. We will stumble and be destroyed if we walk in the flesh
    3. We must walk / live our lives in and by the Spirit
      1. All manner of our lives directed by the Spirit
      2. Led by the Spirit
      3. Worship by the Spirit
  2. Flesh cannot be conquered by flesh 4. The problems of the flesh cannot be conquered by man’s programs, resolutions or by “turning over a new-leaf” 5. The means of flesh cannot break spiritual bondages – spiritual bondages can only be broken by the Spirit

  3. Be under the Divine Influence of the Spirit

If we are lives are under the influence of the Spirit then the flesh will not have control of our lives.
