"So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. The acts of the flesh 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."
(Galatians 5:16‭, ‬19‭-‬21)

The acts of flesh will push you away from God.

The verses tells us that if we focus in our Spirit, our carnal desires should be driven out, including all the above sins enumerated by Paul.

I've copied also the verses that includes the list of sins to be reminded that I should no longer dwell on desiring or experiencing them. My old self practice most of the the sins there and I knew in myself that my body desires for it and once I experience it I want to do it again. My body craves for it and the more I think of what happened before I wanted it even more. I can't even control my emotions. If I'm angry and mad at somebody I yell at them. I always say as an excuse 'I'm not perfect, tao lang ako nagkakamali, nagagalit.'

But in my journey with Christ, although I'm still like a child in the process, I am learning to live without these sins. Before, I do it just for the sake of temporary happiness, but now I came to realize that I really don't need it. And when I feel just one dot of jealousy, selfishness, hatred or envy, I asked God to rebuke me and cleanse my heart. And it's so effective He replaces it with joy, everytime. The feeling was so good and light. The heaviness in my heart was lifted and I can face everyone with a smile.

Living away from my old self who valued the flesh more than the Spirit is really hard to do. But by living by the Spirit, resisting carnality is easy. What my heart truly desires is the joy brought by living with God. And so I will continue to live by the Spirit, feed it with the Word and be the Word. And because of that, I know I will eventually forget about the desires of the flesh. I declare all these in Jesus' name. Amen.
