For we are not only made up of a body but also a spirit and a soul for the desires of the flesh have a great influence on man and when we feed the flesh more the devil have a great hold on our lives, because the more the body is fed the more the spirit is weakened.

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 {Galatians 5:17}.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

 Envying, murders, drunkenness, revellings, { Gal 5:19-21}

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance{ Gal 5:22-23}

When the spirit is fed more than the flesh it become stronger and we walk by the spirit and when you walk by the spirit you no longer fulfill the lust of the flesh which the enemy useslead us to destruction.

The basic mark of the flesh is that it is unsubmissive. It does not want to submit to God’s absolute authority or rely on God’s absolute mercy.

Note when you dwell in the spirit you always be positive but when the flesh has more effect on you, you will always be negative because, When you are in the flesh you see only see what God has not done for you but when you are in the spirit you will see what God wants to do for you.

Now the question comes how do we feed the spirit?

We have heard a lot of times let us be led by the spirit and I know a lot of us marvel about that statement even though we do not say it out, you are led by the spirit when you keep your heart happy in God, when your heart is resting in the promises of God. The Spirit reigns over the flesh in your life when you live by “faith” in the Son of God {Galatians 2:20}.

Now the answer you feed the spirit by having faith in the son of God and faith come by hearing of the word of God so you are fed in the spirit when you constantly hear the word of God and abstain from the flesh.

I pray God grant you the grace to walking in the spirit and resisting the things of the flesh through Christ our lord. Amen
