\nGal 5:16-17<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. \u00a0For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and 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.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Galatians 5:25<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Galatians 6:8<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Romans 8:4-5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.\u00a0\u00a0For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Romans 8:12-14<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.\u00a0\u00a0For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.\u00a0\u00a0For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>1 Peter 1:22<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>1 Peter 4:6<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Jude 1:19-21<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.\u00a0\u00a0But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,\u00a0\u00a0keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
How do we recognize what is heavenly and what is worldly within the moments of each day?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Worldly (Fruits of sin):<\/b><\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – not content, complacency and neglect of God\u2019s Word, joyless, worry, fear, anger, tossed to and fro with every new doctrine, without peace, restless, unkind, unhelpful, blind to the needs of others, not displaying love to others, judgmental, quick to anger, self-indulged, deaf to the leading of the Holy Spirit, void of God\u2019s Word, always chasing after something new, gossiping, lacking self-control, sharp tongue, selfish ambition, envy, disobedient,\u00a0 <\/span>\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n
Heavenly (Fruits of the Holy Spirit)<\/b>: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.<\/p>\n
Complacency, neglect, fleshly desires, and busyness are real threats to the hearts and minds of each of us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSanctification begins with spiritually renewing the mind, that is, changing how we think.\u201d –\u00a0 (<\/span>John MacArthur)<\/p>\n

\u201cSatan\u2019s target is your mind, and his weapons are lies. So fill your mind with the Word of God.\u201d (John Broger)<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are commanded to put aside the sinful practices of your old self, to be changed by a renewing of the mind, and to put on Christlike practices of your new self. Memorizing God\u2019s Word is foundational to that process.\u201d (John Broger)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nRom 12:1-2<\/b>\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.\u00a0Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
