Galatians 5:16-17
16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
If we are led by the Spirit we will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. The Spirit is always with us.
Imagine if your father is always with you and you attempt to do some sin. He will not allow you. In other words if you have to commit a sin, then you have to push your father aside and commit.
Let us do our best not to push the Spirit aside to fulfil the desires of our sinful nature.
Application
Identify the desires of the sinful nature you have and pray for deliverance. Listen more carefully to Holy Spirit and his directions and enjoy submitting to Him whenever you are tempted.
