If you walk in the Spirit, you won't do it.....

"If you walk in the Spirit, you won't do it."  This simple message can be found  in Galatians 5: 16-18
16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.


I'm sitting here watching Creflo Dollar.  I've never heard of him before, but I'm so happy to have found him on TBN.  He's engaging and tells it like it is (much like my preacher, Tar Henderson). What I'm hearing him say makes so much sense it's unbelievable to me that people can't  understand.  If you continue to live your life away from God you will continue to do "it".  Okay so you're wondering what "it' is. It's different for everyone; for some it's drugs, for some it's cheating, for some it's stealing and for others it's all of these and more.    


People often say "well this is just how I am".. WRONG, you can be who you want to be,  it doesn't just happen to you.  God made us in his image, He is not a drug user, a rapist, a thief, a murderer, lazy, etc... therefore we are not suppose to be either. But as sinful humans we turn away from God and walk down the wrong paths. God never turns his back on us, we turn our back on him.  He is always there waiting on the Right Path, ready for us to come back and take His hand again.  


The problem I see with our society is walking with God is work, at least that's what people think.  It should be second nature, if done right. The work is learning all we can about God's Word. Doing His Will isn't work at all, it's fulfillment.   When we walk in the Spirit we find our lives to be so completely fulfilled, we realize it's not work at all, but a joy. 


All you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, come into your heart and life forever.  You can do this quietly where you sit. You don't have to make a grand gesture, it's between you and God. He hears you at all times. 
It's a free gift from God; to allow us to wipe the slate clean and start living and walking in the Light with Him.
You can't argue with free can you? I mean really, what do you have to lose?
Think of what you have to gain.
