The Holy Spirit in you Romans 8:5 Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants. 6 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace.

The Holy Spirit in you 7 And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God’s law, and in fact they cannot obey it. 8 Those who obey their human nature cannot please God. 9 But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to – if, in fact, God’s Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

The Holy Spirit in you 10 But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin. 11 If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you.

The Holy Spirit in you 12 So then, my brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but it is not to live as our human nature wants us to. 13 For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live. 14 Those who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s children.

The Holy Spirit in you These two lives are going totally in opposite directions. The life that is dominated by the desires and activities of sinful human nature is on the way to death. In the most literal sense, there is no future in it--because it is getting further and further away from God. (William Barclay)

The Holy Spirit in you The Spirit-controlled life, the Christ-centred life, the God-focused life is daily coming nearer heaven even when it is still on earth. (William Barclay)

The Holy Spirit in you

The Holy Spirit in you There is the life which is dominated by sinful human nature; whose focus and centre is self; whose only law is its own desires; which takes what it likes where it likes.   In different people that life will be differently described. It may be passion-controlled, or lust-controlled, or pride-controlled, or ambition-controlled. (William Barclay)

The Holy Spirit in you Galatians 5:19-21 What human nature does is quite plain. It shows itself in immoral, filthy, and indecent actions; 20 in worship of idols and witchcraft. People become enemies and they fight; they become jealous, angry, and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups; 21 they are envious, get drunk, have orgies, and do other things like these. I warn you now as I have before: those who do these things will not possess the Kingdom of God.

The Holy Spirit in you As a person lives in the air so the person lives in Christ, never separated from Christ. As the person breathes in the air and the air fills him/her, so Christ fills our lives. The person do not anymore have a mind of his/her own; Christ is his/her mind. The person has no desires of his/her own; the will of Christ is her or his only law. The person is Spirit-controlled, Christ-controlled, God-focused. (William Barclay)

“A fight is going on inside me," said an old man to his son “A fight is going on inside me," said an old man to his son. "It is a terrible fight between two wolves.”

One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other wolf is good, he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you."  

The old man replied simply, "The one you feed.”   The Holy Spirit in you The son thought about it for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old man replied simply, "The one you feed.” Wendy Mass, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life
