Romans 8:8-9 (NKJV) 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people wonder how to please God. Sometimes we ask what it really takes. How do we live day-to-day lives that please Him?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s our answer; walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our flesh will lead us down all kinds of crazy roads. And it can get us into some serious trouble. Not to mention that the choices we make in the flesh can have some drastic consequences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But as we learn to live and walk by the Spirit, we will find ourselves making wiser choices and getting into less trouble. We will also find that our lives are more peaceful, since we will hear God more clearly and discern spiritual things more quickly and sharply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Learning to walk by the Spirit and avoid walking by the flesh, despite what most of us would like, takes time to learn. It’s not necessarily complicated, but it does<\/i> require deliberate effort on our part.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what’s the key to defeating the flesh and learning to walk by the Spirit?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Draw near to God. Yes. It’s that simple. As with most everything else, we get out what we put in. So, the more effort we make, the more fruit we will see in our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we spend time in His word we will get a greater understanding of who He is. This will help us learn how to live and walk by the Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. And as He draws near to you, watch your life be transformed one day at a time. And soon, you will no longer live and walk by the flesh, but by the Spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
