HOW TO TAME YOUR FLESH
2. By living a Life of Submission to the Holy Spirit. Yes, in order for you to walk in victory over your flesh, you need the help of the Holy Spirit. You get his help by walking in the Spirit. This simply means cooperating and partnering with the Holy Spirit. Gal5v16-18,25. Living in the spirit is essential to gaining mastery over the flesh. By the way, which voice do you yield to? i.e.
-The voice of your spirit – which is your conscience.
-The voice of your soul – which is reasoning.
-The voice of your body – which is your feelings.
My dear brothers and sisters, it’s living a life of total surrender and submission to the Holy Spirit that gives you the victory over your flesh. So it’s time to listen more to the Spirit than your flesh or mind. Put more premium on obeying the dictates of the Spirit so that you can begin to walk in your high places. May this truth be a living reality in your life. May the tide turn in your Favor.
So in what ways can you obey the Spirit of God?
– By abiding by his instructions. Doing what he says brings you under the control of the Holy Spirit.
–By keeping his commands.
– By taking his corrections in good faith. Pro29v1
These are just some of the ways by which you can yield to the Holy Spirit. As you choose to yield to the Spirit of God from today, may you experience the liberty that the Spirit truly brings!
