Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Sometimes we can have a hard time resisting temptation.
Temptation comes in many, many forms. And each of us has specific kinds of temptation that are harder to resist than others.
For some it might be lust. For others it might be gossip. And for others it might be lying or stealing. It really doesn’t matter what it is that we wrestle with. All that matters is that we all fight against temptation.
Want to know the secret to defeating temptation? Walk in the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, is our guide in this life. He is our helper. He speaks to us at all times, telling us what to do and what not to do. He tells us everything we need to know to live a strong life as a believer.
We just need to listen!
If we can learn to hear God’s spirit and heed His instruction, we will no longer struggle so badly with fulfilling the lust of the flesh, or falling for any type of temptation.
This doesn’t mean that we will become sinless. We’re human, and it’s not in human nature to be sinless.
But it does mean that we will gain the upper hand over temptation and sin and we will win more often than we will lose!
