Practices of the flesh

“Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear (obvious): they are immorality, impurity, indecency,
Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper), selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects with peculiar opinions, heresies),
Envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like…”
Galatians 5:19-21 AMPC

Re-read this list.  Are you living out any of these actions/characteristics?  If so, ask God to change and remove them from within, and around, you.  The Bible is perfectly clear: when you live by the flesh, you will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Therefore, it is utterly important that the characteristics in these verses be removed and changed for the good and God-like characteristics in line with Christ Jesus : love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, goodness, humility, self-control.  It’s not only a matter of your quality of life, it’s a matter of your eternal life… or death – the choice is yours, based on the practices you wish to pursue.
