Mindset and the Spirit guide every action. Learn to set your thoughts on God, not the flesh, for victory in daily life. Mindset and the Spirit shape every action we take. Paul, the New Testament life coach, shows us that the battle of the flesh versus the Spirit is real, even for those fully devoted to God. Galatians 5:17 says, “For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”
