How do you walk in the Spirit?

Many people ask this question during counseling and the answer is very simple. When it comes to the things of God: it is when we do not follow the desires of our flesh, rather that of God. For example: Your flesh wants to fight for its rights when you think you are correct in a situation, but the spirit says "Wait on the Lord, for He is the righteous judge." Your flesh wants to watch TV, spend hours listening to songs on the internet, seeing what happens in the lives of celebrities, wasting time, but the spirit says, "I'm going to read the Bible, if I stay on the internet, I will only search blogs that will edify me, they have to be about my faith." Your flesh wants to reclaim your situation and find a culprit, but the spirit says, "Trust in God, He will honor you, do not look at the lives of others, because all those who trust in God in one way or another are ashamed". Your flesh wants to use your tongue to speak of others, looking at defects, criticizing the work of others, but the spirit says, "He who keeps the tongue, will save anguish of his soul, and you make the decision to remain silent and wait for God to deliver you". You cannot conquer what you want and your flesh makes you look at what your co-worker, your neighbor, or even your own family has conquered instead of you. Then the flesh brings the desire of envy, but the spirit says, "They conquered for what they did and deserve it. I am going to conquer because the honor of God is in my life and I pray that they all conquer more still”. His flesh tells you to remain with your feelings, when you hear the truth you feel hurt, do not accept it and want others to feel sorry for you, to have their sympathy, but the spirit says, "Walk in reason, you are a winner". There are many examples, and most times we know what we have to do, but to actually do it is very difficult for those who are in the flesh. So while there is time, change to please God and to conquer His promises here on earth. “You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.” (Romans 8:9)
