Classic Christianity – Book of Galatians P21 (09-11-24)

Walk By Faith in The Spirit, Not Under Law

~ “Now I say, walk by the Spirit, and you should not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. For these are opposed to one another in order that you should not do those things you might wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.” Galatians 5:16-18

Today it is so easy for Satan to get us to trust in Man and our flesh instead of us trusting in the Holy Spirit. And when we say flesh, we are speaking of that which is the part of Man, the part of us that wants what it wants, no matter what it is. And this is how Satan programs us, with Tell a vision flashing things before our eyes all the time, and it doesn’t matter what it is, but it creates in us, covetous desires one after another. And then it also, whips up fear in our hearts, because there are people that are glued to the tube in more ways than one. And don’t think that it is just with television, but the Internet is NOT any better, because the demons are constantly flashing things in your face, in order to whip up your flesh to the point that you worry about this or that. And radio is no better either, because of the things that come in through the ear gate. And all of this builds up idols for everyone left and right too. And then people war with one another (family members, office acquaintances, neighbors, friends) over that which is simply a form of thinking that Man (idolatry of a person) is going to make a difference in some election that is a sham. It sets up strife all over the place. Wars are created because of whipped up strife through the stroking of the flesh. And don’t be so proud to think that you too have not succumb to the spell casting (news castors) of Satan by setting up factions and dissensions among people all over the place. For we have all been brainwashed to believe the lies of Satan from birth and have fallen under his spells.

And it is important for us who have the Spirit in us, to recognize what is actually going on today, and how the whole world has been deceived with this type of thinking. People today put more emphasis on what some demon says, rather than what the word of God says. They would rather trust in Man than trust in God. And we have all been guilty of that to some extent or another. We were all born into a world filled with lies and deception. For example, we trusted what our parents told us, yet they simply passed on down what was told to them, the lies of Satan. So it’s important that we see that for ourselves, and help others to see that for themselves also. Because if a person continues to walk in the flesh, they will continue to fulfill the desires of the flesh. They will continue to focus on what they want, when they want it, and they will ignore the Holy Spirit, if indeed the Holy Spirit lives in them. They will stay glued to the things of the world. And at some point in time, a person needs to ask themselves, am I in Christ Jesus, or have I given lip service to Him and the Word of God? What have I actually placed Faith in? Have I placed FAITH in Jesus of the Bible or another Jesus of my own figment of the imagination? Have I believed in Man rather than God? And only if a person is in Christ Jesus, will a man begin to have his mind renewed. So don’t put the cart before the horse, and try to walk in the Spirit, in the energy of the flesh, thinking you can do it. You can’t, only He can. Ask Him for wisdom and understanding and He will give it to you with great abundance without finding fault. Ask Him to show you the TRUTH of what is happening today.

“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.” John 3:36

“For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.” Romans 10:4

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

Take notice: I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.

You were running so well. Who has obstructed you from obeying the truth? Such persuasion does not come from the One who calls you. A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough. I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

Now, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. As for those who are agitating you, I wish they would proceed to emasculate themselves!

For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another.

Now I say, walk by the Spirit, and you should not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. For these are opposed to one another in order that you should not do those things you might wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, contentions, dissensions, factions, envyings, drunkennesses, carousing, and things like these, as to which I forewarn you, even as I warned before, that those doing such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Now those of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit. We should not become boastful, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:1-26

Pray to God:

Do you really want to know the WHOLE Truth of what is going on today?

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

Lord Jesus, teach me the truth of the world today and give me the wisdom to know the truth and identify the lies of the devil. Thank you God.”

~ “Now it says the sinful desires, the sinful desires that is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit is contrary to the desires. That means that living in you and me, we have two sets of desires, do we not? You got your fleshly desires, and you got the desires of God. Remember, when it talks about, delight yourself in the Lord, and he’ll what? Give you, what? The desires of your heart. So those are his desires. Why? Because you’re delighting in him. You’re delighting in the Lord. You love the Lord, learning to love his people. You’re living in love. And he says, I’ll give you the desires of your heart. Now, when he gives them to you, whose desires are they? They’re his, but who do they, whose do they become? Yours. And so again, he’s the source of your desires, but your flesh is also the source of desires. Who feeds those desires? Satan, and you better believe it. That’s the conflict that we’re in. They’re in conflict with each other, we’re told, so that you don’t do what you want. You ever find that? Remember Paul in Romans seven, the things I want to do I don’t do things I don’t want to do. I do anyway. You ever live that way? You ever not live that way? No. First time I read that, I thought someone was peeking on me.” ~ Bob George

And so we have to understand that that’s a conflict inside of us, and it destroys us. It devours and it destroys each other. Our lives get destroyed by biting and devouring each other. You say, How do you destroy a ministry? Bite and devour each other. Says in the scripture were there. Where there is envy and strife and selfish ambition, there’s evil of all kinds. And so if we want to destroy a ministry, if we want to destroy a marriage, if we want to destroy a business relationship, just start biting and devouring each other, and sure enough, you’ll get exactly what we set out to do.

And so it says, I say, live by the Spirit. Now, what does that mean? What does it mean to live by the Spirit? To what? Sure walk in love. We just got through saying in there, love your neighbors yourself. And that entire law is summed up in that single command, love your neighbor as yourself. Back in Ephesians, we studied the two passages that deal with that, and that is, Be not drunk with wine wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit. When you don’t know what that means. It means what you want it to mean. And you’ve got one group that bark like dogs and roll around on the floor and scream and yell and all that kind of stuff. And that’s what it means to be filled with the Spirit. You’ve got some other people who sit piously and study the Scriptures till their eyeballs fall out. You’ve got all kinds of things. The peril of the pendulum is in effect, there of both extremes, and in the third chapter, it told us exactly what it means, and that’s in Paul’s prayer, where he prayed that I pray that out of his glorious riches, that he’ll strengthen you with power in your inner being, so that Christ may be at home in your heart through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how high and long and wide and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, so that you might be filled to the measure with all of the fullness of God. So could you be filled to the measure with all the fullness of God and not be filled with the Spirit? No. Could you be filled with the Spirit and not be filled to the measure with all the fullness of God? No. Then what does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? It means to be controlled by love. It’s what controlled Paul. It’s what controlled Jesus, and it’s what Jesus said is to control us. So when you’re saying to live by the Spirit, it means to live in love, to live with an attitude of love. Now, folks, what keeps us from that? Are you going to love because? Are you going to love your mate because they’re perfect? Anyone have a perfect mate here? No hands? Yeah, you do? You got a perfect mate? He’s laughing. I don’t know about you, if you do, one’s unnecessary. I got people say we’ve been married for 50 years and never had an argument. Said one of you is unnecessary. Are you going to love somebody because we’re perfect? I mean, never make mistakes? Does anyone have a mate here that’s never made a mistake? So how you going to love? Isn’t that how we’ve been taught that you love when, when you when you got someone that’s deserving? Isn’t that what we’re taught that if you do this, I’ll love you, and if you don’t, I won’t? Isn’t that, how we’re told God is that if you do this, He’ll bless you, and if you don’t, he won’t?

And so we’ve got all of these mind concepts that take place about when he’s talking about live with the Spirit, which means live in love, live with an attitude of of love. Live with patience, live with kindness. Live with never keeping records of wrongs. Uh, live with with never bringing up wrongs to people. That’s what it says. Why don’t we do that? Because it says we got flesh, and the flesh wants to control, and the way you control is to control, and so I can’t control and have the spirit in control at the same time. So one of us has got to go, and guess which one goes most of the time, is the Spirit. So when it says to love, that’s an act that you and I have to do on behalf of another person, irrespective of their response. In other words, to love, whether you love me or not, to love, not because or if, but because I love you. That’s how Jesus loves us. Now we say Jesus lives in us, well, then love with his love, and that’s what we’re dealing with here. And I can’t do that. I can’t love in my own strengths. Can you? Our love is conditional. If you’ll just shape up a little bit, I’ll love you better. But God says that’s not love, guys, that is not love. That’s not what I’ve called you to is that kind of love. I’ve called you to unconditional love. I’ve called you to love in spite of the object of the one you’re loving. To love because what? I loved you. And how do I love you? Perfectly. I don’t love you if or because I just plain love you. That’s the message of salvation that we all responded to when we came to Christ. I love you unconditionally. That’s good news to most of us, isn’t it, because we don’t get that kind of love here on this earth. And so it’s saying to us, but now that kind of love is available to us, and it says that we have the privilege of participating in the divine nature that lives in us. What divine nature lives in us? Christ’s nature. What is his nature? Perfect love. Do I have the ability to participate in that perfect love? Yes, I do. I also have the. Ability to participate in my flesh, and my flesh didn’t want to do any of those things.

So he’s saying, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh or the sinful nature. But its best, best translation is flesh. So you’ll notice that it does not say, clean up your flesh, and you’ll be spiritual. Many people, and that’s what religion does. Religion says, If I could just clean up my flesh, I’ll be really spiritual. Guy called the other night and informed me he was extremely spiritual. And I kind of ignored his question and say, let me ask you one. Why do you think you’re extremely spiritual? Well, he said, because I studied Hebrew. And I said, Well, if studying Hebrew made you spiritual, how come the people that didn’t have to study Hebrew, but spoke Hebrew crucified the Son of God? Then he changed it, I studied Greek. Well, I said, How come you can’t find a born again Christian, hardly in Greece? So the whole deal was, he’s a King James only here, 1611, King James. I won’t tell you what I did with him, but he’s saying, doesn’t say, clean up, flesh, you’ll be spiritual. It doesn’t say that the desires of your flesh will go away. It says when you are living in love, there’s a byproduct of that, and that is that you will not be gratifying the desires of the flesh. You’re always going to have desires of the flesh. Are you not? Has anyone eliminated those? We don’t eliminate them. They’ll be with us until we die. So the issue is, are we willing to allow the love of God to control our lives, to be controlled by love? Because the flesh doesn’t want to be controlled by love. The flesh wants to get even the flesh wants to criticize, the flesh wants to control. And it says, Are we willing to live in love? That’s a choice. We can choose one way, or we can choose the other, but it’s a choice. Am I willing to live with a spirit and a habit of love?

Now it says the sinful desires, the sinful desires that is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit is contrary to the desires. That means that living in you and me, we have two sets of desires, do we not? You got your fleshly desires, and you got the desires of God. Remember, when it talks about, delight yourself in the Lord, and he’ll what? Give you, what? The desires of your heart. So those are his desires. Why? Because you’re delighting in him. You’re delighting in the Lord. You love the Lord, learning to love his people. You’re living in love. And he says, I’ll give you the desires of your heart. Now, when he gives them to you, whose desires are they? They’re his, but who do they, whose do they become? Yours. And so again, he’s the source of your desires, but your flesh is also the source of desires. Who feeds those desires? Satan, and you better believe it. That’s the conflict that we’re in. They’re in conflict with each other, we’re told, so that you don’t do what you want. You ever find that? Remember Paul in Romans seven, the things I want to do I don’t do things I don’t want to do. I do anyway. You ever live that way? You ever not live that way? No. First time I read that, I thought someone was peeking on me.

Now, verse 18, if you’re led by the Spirit, you’re not under law. And you say, What’s that got to do with anything? Where did that come from? I thought we were talking about flesh and Spirit, but he said, says here that if you are led by the Spirit, you’re not under the law. Now, what does that mean, guys? Is there any law to love? No. And what he’s saying is, if you live in love, you’re not under the law, because you can’t live in love under the law. What is the law always demanding your flesh to do? Behave. Can it? No. So what do you end up doing? Beating yourself to death because you can’t do what the law is demanding you to do. Is that love for yourself? No, is it love for others? No, there’s no love under the law. That’s why people under the law are mean as Hornets. I’ve never meet an exception to that, that of true legal. What do you think these people are bombing the centers are. I mean, have you ever heard of legalism like that? You women want to go live like that? That’s legalism that’s according to their religious belief, that that’s the way women are supposed to live, like a piece of chattel, covered up. Suppose that stops those guys from lusting. I don’t think so. Probably like the eyeballs, I don’t but that’s religious stuff. That’s religion. And mean is Hornets, if you don’t do according to the law, we’ll kill you, dragged the lady out, committed adultery, shot her right there in the square. Want to live that way? Is that your God? Not mine.

Now it’s saying that if you’re led by the Spirit, you’re not under the law. Your law is always demanding your flesh to behave, and until you die to the law, you cannot come alive to Jesus, folks, that’s as simple as you can get it that when you’re under the supervision of the law, you cannot be under the supervision of Jesus. And so you’ve got two things here. You’ve got the law that is stirring up sin in us, because it says the power of sin is where? In the law. Is there a purpose for that? Yes. To show us what? That we’re sinners. And then there’s a consequence to sin. What’s that? Death. So it shows us you’re a sinner, and it shows you the consequence to being one, dead. And then there’s the gift of life through Christ, Jesus. And you’ve got people trying to live under both things, the law and under grace, you cannot do it.

So if you’re led by the Spirit, you’re not under the law. Now it talks about the acts of the sinful nature or the flesh are obvious. So this is kind of a lineup of just a good old day in Dallas, sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions. What are all those things? Dissensions and factions? Can you get factions between people? Yeah, not factions. Factions, absolutely. Got faction, just got disagreements, envy, drunkenness, orgies and the like. In case I missed anything, just and the like. Now he says a statement here that a lot of people grab a hold of to teach you and lose your salvation. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. Now, does that mean that if you do one of those things, you won’t inherit the kingdom of God, or does this mean that people who live like this live like this because they’re lost? They don’t know the Lord. They’re not in the Spirit. They’re in the flesh. And so the latter is the interpretation in light of the totality of the teaching of the Word of God. So it’s talking about the fact that the acts of this flesh, uncontrolled by the Spirit, are this because it just got through saying that if you walk in the Spirit, then these things will not become evident, But the fruit of the Spirit. Now, fruit comes from what? Where does? Where’s the source of fruit? The branch or the vine? The vine. And the branch does what? Bears fruit. But can the branch produce fruit? No. So what’s the role of the branch? To abide in the life of the vine and allow the life of the vine to abide in the branch. And the result of those two things is, what? Bearing of fruit. What kind of fruit is that going to bear? Yeah, it tells us here, love, joy, peace. Hear a lot about that, don’t you?

You notice in if you go to Israel, the word shalom, as were, is used constantly, which means peace. They greet each other that way. Peace. You know Paul never used that. You know what he used, Grace and peace be unto you. Grace and peace be unto you. Why? He knew that without grace you couldn’t have peace. We’re crying out for peace in the Middle East, and there’ll never be peace in the Middle East until the return of Christ, Jesus, our Lord, how do you ever going to have international peace until you have National Peace? How are you going to have national peace until you have local peace? How are you going to have local peace till you have peace in your own neighborhood? How are you going to have peace in your neighborhood, until you have peace in your home? And how are you going to have peace in your home, until you have peace in your own heart? And how you got to have peace in your own heart apart from Jesus? And that’s where Jesus is totally relevant to international peace.

And so we’re dealing here with peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. What’s self control, keeping yourself under the control of Jesus, and so all of these are characteristics of God. Now I want to ask you another question to think through. Look at that lineup. Are any of those things you in the flesh? Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long suffering. I don’t have one of those characteristics in my flesh. Those are God’s characteristics. Those are characteristics of Jesus. Now, what is it saying to us? If you want those characteristics to be manifest in and through you, you’re going to have to do what, go out and strive harder. Go out and work out a little harder. Go study more. Go read your Bible more. Get up earlier for your quiet time. Go to church more. What does it say? Abide in Jesus. Abide in Jesus.

Now, folks, we’re fortunate we have Bibles, but Bibles weren’t printed and distributed in a populous type of deal until the 1500s What did those poor souls do before they had Bibles? Do you think they didn’t know Jesus? Do you think they did have a relationship with Jesus, the Apostles didn’t have Bibles. They had the Old Testament. They didn’t have the New Covenant written. Wasn’t written yet. Not because they didn’t like it. They didn’t have it. And we get the idea that you and you come up with all of these things that you have to do. You got to have your quiet time. You got to do this. You know, everything we got to got to got t, don’t we? And what he said, You got to do is abide in Jesus. Do you know him? You know who he is. Do you have a relationship with him? Does he live in your heart? Are you led by Him? Then you know him. So what do you do? Abide in him. Trust. Him. Now, does that mean that you’re always walking around smiling with a silly grin on your face and all this stuff? No, sometimes you’re sad. You’re sad in Jesus, but he’s always there to comfort your heart. Is he not? And that’s what it’s talking about here. Is abiding in him. He produces the fruit. We bear the fruit, but we cannot do it on our own. Now, do we set out to do these things on our own? And many times we say, well, I can do that. I can get a little peace. I’ll go to a mountain stream, get out on a golf course. Peaceful out there, unless you make a bad shot, of course. And what do we do? We’re looking for peace. Is that the peace of God that passes all understanding. No, you leave the mountain stream, you leave the beauty of the mountains, and you go back, and you’re the same person you left. And so that is world peace, but the peace of God that passes all understanding is a peace that can only be given by God, and that’s only as a result of abiding in him and loving him. Now, against these things, there’s no law. So you cannot get into these things through the law. You cannot demand it. It’s a byproduct. You cannot go to a branch and say, I command you to bear fruit. The only thing that you can do is to say, branch. If you want to bear fruit, you’re going to have to abide in the vine. And it’s your choice, but there’s no law connected to it. And so those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Well, what does that mean? You feel like you’re that your sinful nature and your passions and desires have been crucified. If they are, they use some poor nails, I wonder. World? Does that mean? Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let’s keep in step with the Spirit. Well. Does that have anything to do with what we just talked about up here? When you live by the Spirit, you’ll not gratify the desires of the flesh. Let me ask you a question, guys, and this is a good one to ponder. Do you have to give in to your fleshly desires and passions, you don’t have to. Now, some people think you do, don’t you? And of course, in this day and age, everything’s a disease. Don’t blame me. I got disease, and so I have to give into it. I got disease. Is that true? Find that in the Scripture, I’ve never found it there, he said, You’ve crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Now it says in here, your sinful nature, who and what was your sinful nature? Who was the old man? If you’re going to describe the old man, who was it, see what it’s you without the Spirit of God living in you, and how many of you lived for a number of years without the Spirit of God living in you? That was the old man. Who are you today? Bob George, with the Spirit of God living in me. What’s happened to that old guy, he’s gone. So there’s no such thing as a bob George without the capability of being controlled by the Spirit. So there’s no excuse for saying, Well, I just can’t if you’re in Christ, there is no excuse for not being controlled by the Spirit, because the Spirit’s always available to us.

And so in essence, when it’s talking about those who belong to Christ, have crucified the sin for the old nature, that guy’s gone. When we came to Christ, we were translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. That guy’s gone. And so we’ve crucified that and since now, we live in the Spirit. It’s saying this should just be a natural thing in as much as you’re now in Christ. And if you’re in Christ, you’re living by the Spirit. The Spirit lives in you live in the Spirit. Let us keep in step with the Spirit. What does that mean? Sure, let Him lead you and guide you. In other words, if you’re in the Spirit, and he said, Love one another, what’s keeping in step of the Spirit? Loving one another, go love one another. If he says to go help somebody in the name of Jesus, what do you do? Go help somebody. Is that being led by the law? No, and if you don’t do it, you going to get zapped? No, you just miss a blessing.

So the issue is, he’s saying, now that you’re in the Spirit, you’re living by the Spirit. Keep in step with it. In other words, the Spirit’s leading you. Keep in step with the Spirit. Move where he’s leading you. If he’s leading you to do something, go do it. That’s keep it in step of the Spirit. Now, can we also be led by the flesh? And sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference. How many have found it hard to tell the difference? Which many times speaks the loudest? Flesh is much easier for me to recognize than the Spirit, isn’t it? You or you recognize the spirit easier. I have a little difficulty sometimes recognizing the Spirit, but I never have trouble recognizing the flesh. But again, there’s ways to recognize that is what this thing’s telling me to do. Is a loving thing to do? Is it going to produce is it going to produce joy, peace, patience, kindness? And if all of those things could say, yes, well then this must be what the Spirit wants me to do. And that’s how you’re led by the Spirit. You also are led by the Spirit. When Lord, this is what I think you want me to do, but if you want to close the door, you close it. Now I’ll go the other direction. And that many times, is a way in which we’re led. But I still think that the best way to be led by the Spirit is to delight yourself in the Lord and let him give you the desires of your heart. Now, since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step and let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Now, why do you suppose he tells us that not to become conceited? Can we become conceited in the Spirit? Can we get to the point where we think we know more than anybody else on the face of the earth? We can and it’s saying, Don’t let that happen. You know, if I’m going to be dogmatic on a belief system, I’m going to have to become dogmatic on what I know to be true. And there are some things I know to be true, and it’s the word of God.
