hLiving by the SpiritBy the Spirit we crucify the flesh. Our spirit empowered by the Holy Spirit. influences the body, mind & emotions to get the will to obey it!

2 Peter 1:5-7 Promise of participation in the Divine Nature (Holy

Spirit & our spirit’s united) and an escape from the corruption in the world due to sinful desires (the flesh).

Faith - the Gospel of Jesus Christ Goodness - chose good over evil Knowledge - applied knowledge of good - bible Self-control - knowledge not enough – fight the flesh Perseverance - in failure and success carry on Godliness - goodness formed in you = Christ-likeness Brotherly Kindness – lovingly help people, not judging Love - agape love and not eros hooks

The Process of the kingdom of God coming in my life

The Spirit of God – John 16:13 The Word of God – Ps 119:105 Time

Praying for and with others... Worshipping by yourself and with others... Reading the word for yourself and with others...

Application of the above into your lives... - James 1:5 Result = Peace – internal not external

John 14:26-27 Luke 12:49-53 Luke 12:22-34

This is how we are to build our lives and see the King’s kingdom released in and through our lives.
