Seed for May 12

Gal 5:1616 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.(KJV)When we walk in the Spirit we do not (by nature) fulfill the evil desires of the flesh. Some people think that not fulfilling the lust of the flesh is walking in the Spirit, but not so. Just because you don't do something bad does not make you good. That is how religion has fooled us. The Hebrews thought just by keeping all the Law, they were made righteous. Wrong! It is living by the Life of the Spirit with in. Living in and walking in faith, of that new divine nature, that causes us to keep perfectly all the Law of God. God is the Law giver, and Jesus the Law keeper inside us. If I hang my life completely upon Him, and depend upon Him as my source, then I do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. You see it is a matter of source, not deeds. They that are in the flesh cannot please God. It is not a matter of good or bad, but a matter of "source" (Jesus or me). We live and draw our lives from the Spirit, that is walking in the Spirit, and doing thus causes us to live a life well pleasing to God. Not I, but He in me that does the work...what a blessing to know. Be blessed.
