A Work of the Flesh - Galatians 5:16-21

A Work of the Flesh - Galatians 5:16-21

INTRODUCTION

Many have erroneously suggested that witchcraft is a spiritual gift, but the Bible plainly declares it to be a work of the flesh. As such, it is anti-Spirit and lustful. It is akin to adultery, idolatry, hatred, heresies, murders, and drunkenness. No Christian who finds joy in these practices can rightly claim to be led of the Spirit, and so it is with Christians involved in witchcraft at any level. Unfortunately, many beguiled saints have grown increasingly accepting of witchcraft, at times even suggesting there are hidden scriptural messages. Men should not be deceived into thinking that God will partner with a work of the flesh to accomplish His work.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

  • (For smaller children) God hates witchcraft (Exodus 22:18; Micah 5:12). If you are attracted to it, it is not God doing it (James 1:13) but your own desires and longings (James 1:14). Remember, in God's eyes there is no such thing as a "good" witch, no matter how the world makes them appear (1 John 4:1).
  • No man could rightly suggest that God led him to get drunk or  commit adultery to any extent. Why would the same thing be true of witchcraft?
  • The works of the flesh have bombarded man’s entertainment. Do you find witchcraft, adultery, and drunkenness entertaining?

PRAYER NEEDS

  • Ask God to help you rid your life of the works of the flesh.
  • Ask God to give you wisdom to know what is right and wrong.
