Have you seen people hire a personal trainer to help advance them in the endeavor to be fit physically? What they are doing is not only taking the advice of the personal trainer but that trainer is encouraging, and motivating them to press toward their goal. Like the personal trainer, the Holy Ghost is here to advise, strengthen and encourage you in your sanctification process. Lean inward.lol! I know that sounds like a misnomer, but the Spirit of God will help you keep the flesh from rising up and shutting down the blessings God has prepared for you. Depend upon him as God did when he caused a formless void place to become a beautiful creation.
Gen. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Your Flesh is know problem for the Spirit Of God.
