How Do I Avoid Pleasing the Flesh?

It is so unbelieveably important that we avoid pleasing the flesh. We are to please God first and foremost in our everyday lives. Check out this book by Joyce Meyer 12 keys to Enjoying a Healthy life

• Relinquish my right to make a choice contrary to GOD’s choice.
When we are obedient to GOD we are to relinquish our right to choose another path. The Bible teaches that we are to reach to GOD first and foremost for council. Do not lean onto your own understanding of yourself or others. Relish in knowing that GOD has a plan for you to follow. Show HIM your obedience.

• Understand that making bad decisions is contrary to GOD’s plan.
When you do not follow GOD’s plan, daily life will be more difficult, you won’t have the joy that you desire. Do not argue with GOD, it is a losing battle. You are to relinquish your right to choose another option when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It is better to be uncomfortable and follow Jesus than it is to be comfortable and follow the Devil.

• I take the necessary steps to finish the process.
Always remember you life belongs to GOD and He does things on his time when HE wants to do them. He will reveal knowledge to you on a need to know basis. It is up to you to know that GOD’s grace is sufficient and you have what you need as long as you stay under GOD’s authority. If you stay the course and put GOD first then HE will bless you with the desires of your heart.
