For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.

Lord God my Father,

Your design is perfect and you include me in your plan. Give me a faith that has no doubt and help me to walk in your confidence in all encounters. Protect me from my worldly desires and release your plan to me in every breath. Help my fruits to be of your desire, not mine. Your Peace is my shield, may nothing get past it.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
