Eps 51: How Do You Walk by the Spirit Instead of the Flesh? Galatians 5

In this episode of Kept Podcast, Tierra explores an important question many believers wrestle with: How do we discern whether our desires are coming from the flesh or the Holy Spirit? In Galatians 5, Scripture clearly describes two competing influences within us—the desires of the flesh and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Understanding the difference is essential for anyone who wants to grow in spiritual maturity and walk in obedience to God. In this teaching, Tierra discusses how believers can learn to recognize the difference between these two sources of desire and why the goal of the Christian life is not simply to follow our desires, but to submit them to God so He can shape them according to His will. In this episode we explore: • The two sources of desire within believers: the flesh and the Holy Spirit • How Galatians 5 helps us discern between them • Why following your feelings can sometimes lead you away from God’s will • The importance of submitting your desires to God • How the fruit of the Spirit reveals the life God is producing in us God’s goal is not just behavior modification—He is transforming our hearts. As we walk by the Spirit and surrender our desires to Him, He reshapes them so that our lives begin to reflect His character and produce the fruit of the Spirit. If you’ve ever struggled to know whether a desire is from God or your own flesh, this episode will give you biblical clarity and practical wisdom.
