Walking in the Spirit

"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
Galatians 5:16

The Word of God is clear. The only way to conquer the flesh is to walk in the Spirit. In this life, we will be forever tempted to put health & wellness on the back burner. Take the easy way out with pills and supplements, and succumb to the never ending temptations that threaten to overtake our minds and bodies every day.
It can be brutal.
It can be overwhelming.

We must remember this. The temptations of this world are not from God, and submitting to them means we are submitting to the will of Satan. Scary thought, I know.
God will not tempt you, and He will NEVER allow you to be tempted beyond what you can overcome.

We must also remember this. The devil is limited. So very limited.
We are told in the Word of God to walk by the Spirit so that we will not fulfill the lustful desires of our flesh. Walking by the Spirit is the key. We have access to the power of the Holy Spirit every single day. And we must never forget that it is that same power that raised Jesus from the dead. Fear not today. You may be tempted by the devil. He may be throwing fiery darts. But when you walk in step with the Spirit you will overcome. The Almighty God will take you through the fire and you will not be burned.

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
Father, I thank you for this day, and I ask you to bring to my remembrance throughout this day, that I can walk by the Spirit, submit my flesh to your will, and Satan cannot touch me. As long as I am walking by the Spirit, I will never fulfil the sinful desires of my flesh. Let me walk in step with you today and find lasting success in health & wellness to fulfill Your purpose for me on this earth.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M Daily Strategy
What are some areas in health & wellness that you need to walk more in the Spirit and not in the flesh?
Write them down, and keep them where you can see them.
Here are a few areas, I the need to walk by the Spirit more, maybe you can relate.

I need to walk in the Spirit when I pass by a candy dish, and my flesh wants to mindlessly pick up a handful of M & M's.
I need to walk by the Spirit when I'm ordering food in a drive thru, and I know I should skip the fries.
I need to walk by the Spirit when I want to snack but I know deep down, I'm not hungry, Im just bored.
I need to walk by the Spirit when I am tempted to eat late at night, when I should just go to bed.

I pray our devotions ignite and inspire something deep within you! The mission of Equipped4More is to spread the hope of Christ around the world!
