John 14:16-17, Acts 1:4-5, 8, Acts 2:1-4)\n1: Battle with the Flesh\nSo I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For\n the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the \nflesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. \nGalatians 5:16-17\n\nApp: what is impossible for us is possible for God \n\n2: Victory with the Spirit\n\u201cBe very careful, then, how you live\u2014not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord\u2019s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery.
