“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16, NKJV)

It is a fact that we do not always do the good that our consciences dictate because the sinful human nature fights against God’s Spirit within us. It is promised not that we should have no evil lusts, but that we can overcome them by yielding to the influence of the Spirit of God.

The only way to overcome our sinful desires is not by putting ourselves under man’s regulations, but by allowing God’s Spirit to direct our lives.
