Bring Your Life Under the Control of The Holy Spirit – vs.16-26
.
Galatians 5:16–18 (NKJV)
16I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Galatians 5:25-26 (NKJV)
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Walk In the Spirit – v. 16
Galatians 5:16–17 (NKJV)
16I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
Walking in the spirit says you cannot live just any kind of way.
The old you must go away!
If you keep walking in the spirit you will begin to starve the old you.

You are controlled by what you feed on.

Ephesians 5:18–20 (NKJV)
18And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
19speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
20giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Let the Holy Ghost control you the way that the wine would.
