Are you being led by your flesh or faith? | Fruition Pt. 4 | Pastor Jonny Turpin

We are in this battle SPIRIT VS FLESH

Galatians 5:17 "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want."

WHAT YOU CULTIVATE IN YOUR LIFE WILL GROW ARE YOU FEEDING THE FLESH IN YOUR LIFE OR THE SPIRIT?

Galatians 5:19- 21 "When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God."

Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

So how do we cultivate the fruit of the spirit? By abiding and remaining in the Spirit.

Faithfulness on a practical level looks like consistency and loyalty to Jesus.

By abiding in Jesus – We cultivate FAITHFULNESS

Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

Gentleness is not weakness. Gentleness is strength contained. Gentleness is strength surrendered.

It is easy to be a Christian, but it is hard to die. In our life boundaries in our life making sure we stay inside the perimeters God has set for us.
