Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.<\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed how it is that God tells us to do what He wants us to do?<\/p>\n

By the Spirit!<\/p>\n

Not by flesh, not by intellect, not by human understanding, not by power or by might.<\/p>\n

By His Spirit.<\/p>\n

The verse above is a perfect example of that; by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body.<\/p>\n

It is not by our own power or strength. Indeed, we cannot do anything by our own strength.<\/p>\n

Anything accomplished by human strength is temporary at best. It will eventually fail.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit\u2019s presence and unhindered operation in our lives is critical and absolutely necessary. He is the fuel who gives us the fire we need to do great and mighty things for the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

And if we operate by the Holy Spirit, none of the things we accomplish will cause us to become proud or haughty. Every shred of glory and honor for them will be given to God.<\/p>\n

It is by the Holy Spirt that we defeat the enemy in our personal lives.<\/p>\n

We defeat addictions; alcohol, drugs, porn, sex and more.<\/p>\n

We overcome our old self, leaving behind the things of this world; filthy language, gossip, adultery, drunkenness, fornication, stealing, lying.<\/p>\n

And we live the kingdom life; loving others, forgiving those who hurt us, helping those in need, putting others before ourselves, giving of ourselves even when it hurts.<\/p>\n

These are all things that we can\u2019t do by our flesh.<\/p>\n

We can do this only by the power of the Holy Spirit, by giving Him sovereignty over our lives.<\/p>\n

Jesus said it best when He told us that we can do nothing without Him.<\/p>\n

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 \u201cI am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing<\/span>.<\/p>\n
