In Galations chapter 5, Paul talks about how the Spirit and the flesh are at war with each other. Paul names 15-17 works of the flesh (depending on what version of the bible you read). Here is a list of 17 out of my Bible with their definition.
1.Adultery= Voluntary s*xual activity between a married person and someone who is not their spouse
2.Fornication= Greek word p**neia or p**n which encompasses all s*xual activity outside the bounds of traditional marriage
3.Uncleaness= moral defilement whether in the form of lust or profligate living
4.Lewdness= living without moral restraint, shamless behaviour, and gross wickedness
5.Idolatry= the worship of anything other than the one true God
6.Sorcery= the practise of trying to use spiritual power, hidden knowlegde, or magic outside of Jesus
7.Hatred= intense aversion or hostility
8.Contentions= strife, angry arguments, and sharp disagreements that cause division
9.Jealousy= fear of losing something valuable or not wanting others to have what you have
10.outburts of wrath= sudden, fierce, and uncontrolled explosions of human anger
11.selfish ambitions= the drive for personal advancement, recognition, or power at the expense of others and Adonai's will
12.dissensions= A sharp dissagreement, division, or splitting apart among people that ruins peace and unity
13.heresies= a choice of personal opinion that causes division, a self-chosen sect or false teachings that go against core truths
14.envy= destructive, resentful desire for another person's possesions, status, or blessings
15.murders= the unlawful and intentional taking of a human life, characterized by malice, premeditation, or reckless disregard for life
16.drunkenness= a state of allowing alcohol or other substances to compromise self control, reason, and moral judgement
17.revelries= wild, excessive, and boisterous partying marked by a lack of self control
If you struggle with any of these, you can repent and castbout demons, but you can't cast out the flesh. The Word says to crucify the flesh, make no provision for it, and walk in the Spirit.
Romans 13.14- But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
Colossians 3.5- Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed that is idolatry.
Praying for all of you that Jesus would immerse you with His Holy Spirit and Fire to stir up the annointing that's on the inside of you, and that out of your belly will flow rivers of living water everywhere you go! You're blessed, so be a blessing!
