Galatians 5:16 (ESV) - But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

Ezra 4:1-5 (NASB). “Now when the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the people of the exile were building a temple to the LORD God of Israel, they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of fathers' households, and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we, like you, seek your God; and we have been sacrificing to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.” But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of fathers' households of Israel said to them, “You have nothing in common with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves will together build to the LORD God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia has commanded us.” Then the people of the land discouraged the people of Judah, and frightened them from building, and hired counselors against them to frustrate their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.”

Galatians 5:16 (NASB). “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”

“Relying on the Spirit in Our Work” By In Touch Ministries:

“Obstacles will come; we can choose to focus on them or trust the Lord for direction.”

“The Israelites had returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. But many opposed their efforts, and were, in fact, quite clever. First, they offered to help. What better way to cause things to go wrong than to get involved in the work? When their aid was rejected, the enemies set out to discourage and scare the Israelites. They were successful in stopping the work—temporarily. But “the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews,” and the work was finally able to proceed (Ezra 5:5). The Lord took care of the mountain of opposition before them. What that means is, sometimes He will remove the problem; at other times He’ll walk with us through it. But either way, He wants us to depend on Him. This means choosing to ...• Patiently love friends and family.• Wisely guide others toward godliness.• Follow scriptural principles about finances.• Have divine contentment in our current circumstances.• Do God’s work His way. Our work should be characterized by dependence on the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). While that mindset is countercultural, it’s the only way to live as a child of God. Seek out others who regularly try to follow the Spirit’s leading, and spur each other on to live it out.”

A Worthy Guide

Is it possible to live a life that honors God? Is it achievable to train our minds and bodies to do what we know is right—instead of feeling powerless against temptation?

Paul’s letter to the churches in Galatia is a guide for such questions:

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.”

Galatians 5:16

Without surrendering and submitting to God’s lead, our sinful nature is at war with what God has for us.

Left to ourselves, we crave what the world desires. And the more we give into our unique shades of temptation, the more we crave (like craving sweets for the sugar, or craving pornography for the dopamine rush). But with the help of the Holy Spirit, who softens and molds and reshapes our hearts, we can learn to crave what God’s deemed best.

To put it simply, the secret to living a godly life is the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit just so happens to be God—one of the three persons of the Trinity: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus has already done the hard and beautiful work of salvation—by living, dying, and rising again for the sake of His children—but now He wants to continue His mighty work in us and through us.

If it sounds impossible, it is impossible—if you’re fighting by yourself. But, as Jesus told His disciples, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:27 NIV) The psalmist also brought another valuable perspective, writing, “How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.” (Psalms‬ ‭119:9‬ ‭NIV)‬‬

When we cling to His Word, which was inspired by the Holy Spirit, it’s not only possible—but also probable—to live a life that honors Him.

How to Overcome Sin & Bear Fruit | Eric Gilmour [Galatians 5]

The Bible teaches us how to live free from sin & walk like JESUS in Galatians 5:16-25 we see three keys that help us understand the spiritual life

    that is living in victory over sin and     becoming like JESUS v.25 there's this     interesting statement Paul says

    if we live by the SPIRIT

1.] Awareness of SPIRIT's Presence

This is life received on the inside, this is being born again; he who has the SON, has life.

If you don't have the SPIRIT, you are none of HIS —it is the SPIRIT coming in on the inside born of HIS SPIRIT washed in HIS blood.

    This SPIRIT gives life & so if we have that     conviction, the SPIRIT bears witness with     my SPIRIT that I'm a child of GOD.

    that I live by the SPIRIT that knowing that     conviction knowing that I have been born     from above.

He says if you have that, he says then walk by the SPIRIT—he actually says in v.16 as well

if you walk by the SPIRIT you will not carry out the desires of the flesh which shows us some- thing that you've been born from above, and the SPIRIT lives on the inside.

That is the convicting presence of CHRIST.

The presence of the SPIRIT in your life, HE says: if you live by walking is a term used in Scripture for your life. John says I have no greater joy than to see my children walking in the truth.

It has to do with the way you live your life, so Paul is saying you have a conviction that you've been born from above—live in that conviction of HIS presence.

     if you live/walk by the SPIRIT you will      not gratify the desires of the flesh or      carry out the desires of the flesh which      shows us the desires of the flesh is to      walk your life by a lack of awareness      of the presence of the ONE WHO is      inside of you

So if you live by the SPIRIT & you don't walk by the flesh, you will carry out the desires of the SPIRIT—so live by the SPIRIT.

     Stay in that living by the SPIRIT, by      walking aware of the presence      you are convicted by is in you..

     by being born again

2.] New Covenant Freedom From Law

Praise GOD & then lastly he says if you are led by the SPIRIT, you are not under the Law which obviously under the Law means required to keep these commandments.

If you break them, there's a curse upon you that's been eradicated by the new covenant —which is the covenant of the SPIRIT

HE puts HIS SPIRIT in our hearts.

This is the new covenant, but even more so the new covenant of the SPIRIT makes us above the Law

—which means you don't just not envy, you don't just not lie, you don't just not commit adultery..

You don't have those things in your heart any more—in other words your heart is living above those things.

   •  It's such a higher degree    •  It's a newness of life

This is being like CHRIST because the SPIRIT of CHRIST—on the inside of you, is causing these things.

Love & joy not just theologically actually, experientially love & joy & peace & patience

This comes from being led by the SPIRIT which has to do with yielding to the internal guidance & impressions of the presence you're aware of

   •  that you've been born again by

3.] Three Ingredients for Victory

So three things the Bible shows us about living in victory over sin, and walking like JESUS if you live by the SPIRIT—that conviction you've been born again from above:

[a] walk by that conviction

[b] walk by that awareness of HIS presence       & we will not carry out the desires of       the flesh & lastly

[c]  yield to all the impressions of that       new nature on the inside of you & you'll       live above the Law with love/joy/peace       & patience/goodness/kindness/faithful       -ness/gentleness & self-control

The Bible teaches us how to live in victory over sin & like CHRIST again we're all growing in this

We all desire to walk this way.

So may grace come upon us to live this out & not just know it—but actually to have its reality in our lives by the person of the SPIRIT having all of our attention.

    us yielding ourselves to HIM that's the key

This is the spiritual life

GOD bless you guys

Galatians 5:16-25 | Keeping Your Nose Clean ¹⁶ So I say, walk by the SPIRIT, & you will not gratify desires of the flesh. ¹⁶ But I say, walk by the SPIRIT, & you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the SPIRIT, & the desires of the SPIRIT are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the SPIRIT, you are not under the Law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, and rivalries, dissensions, divisions, ²¹ envy, drunken- ness, orgies, & things like these.

I warn you, as I warned you before, those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of GOD.

²² But the Fruit of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

²⁴ And those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have crucified the flesh with its passions & desires.

²⁵ If we live by the SPIRIT, let us also    keep in step with the SPIRIT.
