So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.

The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. 

And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

Galatians 5:16-18 NLT

Here Paul gives his manifesto for living in freedom, to get in tune with the Holy Spirit and to let Him not just be our guide (which is like an external thing) but to change our desires!

To change what we want.

Are we prepared, am I prepared, to give up that kind of control to God?

"Jesus, allow the Holy Spirit reign in my life to shape and change my heart, my desires, to line up with You today, help me to let the Spirit win that internal battle, let me give Him more and more control. 

Less of me.

More of You.

Amen."
