Galatians 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
In this scripture we find that trying to destroy others comes home to us and many times we are destroyed in the process. Fussing and fighting have no place in the church. Be a peacemaker, not a troublemaker. Also we are told not to give in to the lust of flesh because it brings trouble and strife. When we make Jesus Lord of our life and walk in the Spirit of God we have no desire to do wrong to anyone and we have no lust of the flesh. The flesh opposes the work of the Spirit and leads the believer toward sinful behavior he would not otherwise be compelled to do.The flesh and spirit have been in mortal combat to control the will of man. The lust of the flesh has destroyed many a person. We must bury our flesh that our spirit might take control. The Spirit of God within us is the only thing that can overcome the flesh of man. We must give our will over to the Spirit of God so that we can defeat the desires of the flesh.
