Feeding the Spirit or the Sinful Nature.

"Galatians 5:19-23 Says. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control." Heavy stuff. But the fact is, if you feed the Spirit by focusing on God more in your life, you will feel much better in all parts of your life. And the contrary if you don't, you will have more behaviors of the sinful nature unlike if you feed the Spirit you will have more behaviors of the Spirit. Our stability very much depends on how much we follow the Spirit. Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is where you start. Then you feed the Spirit by walking with the Lord in a relationship. Reading the Bible at least once a day, Bible studies, Fellowship with other Christians. We are to live like Jesus. Be like Jesus. We put so much junk into our minds that hurt us and we sometimes don`t even know it. So put the word of God in your mind, Practice it and let it nourish you and may the fruits of the Spirit grow in you greatly.

  1. I strongly agree with you, there is nothing like the word of God and a relationship with God, when i look at life, i question how i can have a tomorrow without a relationship with God, its through this that I can receive my healing and survive another day. There sure is nothing like that 'Ancient God with HIS Ancient word'.
