Are you practicing things that go against God’s way? If so, you are not walking in the Kingdom of God. This week, we dive into Part 4 of “The Work of the Flesh v. The Fruit of the Spirit,” as Pastor Will unpacks Galatians 5:19–23. These “practices of the sinful nature” are intentional decisions we make, not just slip-ups. When we purposely allow these practices to be part of our lives, it blocks God’s ability to work through us and help others. We are reminded that it doesn’t just hinder us, it binds the very spiritual forces that were sent to help. The Holy Spirit and angels can’t move freely when we choose the ways of the flesh over God’s way.
But when we allow God’s love to shape us, the Fruit of the Spirit flows without restriction. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being real with God, staying spiritually aware, and choosing to seek Him so He can move through us and reach others.
