If we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the desires of our flesh.

Hebrews 12:1b & 2
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
I know I have shared this before, but it hit me new this morning as I allowed my flesh to dictate what Ido instead of the Spirit of the living God. As I see it there are two ways to live. One: by The Spirit. Two: by the flesh. It's one or the other, many times, sadly mixing the two. My flesh wants to dictate the way I live. For example, one of the fruits of The Spirit is self control, do I walk in that, or the fulfillment of my flesh? I have to choose everyday how I will walk, fulfilling my flesh and so not walking in the Spirit and fulfilling the things of the Spirit? (Galatians 5:15, I say to you walk in the Spirit and you WILL NOT fulfill the desires of your flesh!)
God says He is a jealous God (Exodus 20: 4 & 5) desiring our sole attention, allowing us to serve no others. But do we? Do we serve our own flesh and all it's carnality? Sure we praise Him with our lips, MAtt 15:8 "they praise Me with their lips but their hearts are far from Me) but are we guided by His Spirit all the time, everyday?
Some may read something like this, but may not be filled in the Spirit. They may have even committed their lives to Christ, but have not heard that there is any filling of the Spirit as described in Acts Chapter 2 when the Holy Spirit first came to the brand new Church, just as Jesus promised before He left them. "I will send you the Holy Spirit, not many days from now. He will comfort you, and bring to remembrance all that I taught you." (John chapter 16 & 14:26)
Are we being taught by His Spirit, or by our flesh or someone else's?
"Lord let us be taught by Your Spirit alone. let us not allow another to teach us in the flesh, and let not our flesh dictate what we are taught, or even what is brought to us, but let Your Spirit dictate what we do, what we say, and how we are to live. In Jesus Name, amen."
