The flesh or the Spirit--who do you follow?

Good morning all. A wonderful day to wake up and be alive in Jesus!!! Life is precious and we should thank God continually for what He has given us. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!! Yesterday I may have written Gal 6, it should be Gal 5:16. Okay, now today......
Galatians 5:17 "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."
"For the flesh lusteth against the spirit", This is a constant and deadly duel going on. Both, Jesus Christ and satan fight for possession of the soul of man. The flesh (satan) opposes the Spirit (our salvation through Jesus) in an effort to stop the believer from a life of obedience, surrender, and victory. Victory how? Victory over death and satan!!!
"The Spirit against the flesh," the Holy Spirit opposes the flesh and give the believer victory over it.
"And these are contrary," You cannot serve the world and the Lord Jesus Christ. The two are at odds with each other. We must decide to viva la momento- live for the moment OR to live eternally. Only you can decide this.
"So that ye cannot do the things that ye would," So you may not keep on doing whatever you may want to do. We have to follow as the Holy Spirit leads.
Thank you for reading. May this touch your heart. Love you.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
