The Dominant One
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"…Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh"
(Gal. 5:16).
I learned early in my Christian life to let my spirit, my inward man,
dominate my outward man. So even as a teenage boy standing alone without
the fellowship of other teenagers who believed like I did, I didn't have
the problems some do.
If there was anyone in my Sunday school class who was saved besides me,
I didn't know it. They would cuss, drink, attend worldly dances, and
they were all mixed up with one another in sexual activities. They'd say
to me, "Why don't you do those things?"
First, my conscience wouldn't allow me to do those things. Also, I'd
reply to them, "I'm a new creature." And they would ask, "What's a new
creature?" (That pretty well proved they weren't new creatures!)
You don't need to be preached to about do's and don'ts; just let your
spirit dominate you. God will enlighten you through your spirit. Let the
new man on the inside be the dominant one.
Don't let your body dominate you. Your body will want to keep on doing
the things it's been doing, because your body hasn't been born again
yet. Instead, walk by your spirit.
Confession: I walk by my spirit. I let my spirit dominate me. I let
the new man on the inside be the dominant one. Therefore, I do not
fulfill the lust of the flesh. I am not body-ruled; I am spirit-ruled.
