I have been walking with Christ for several months now. One of the most profound revelations I’ve had is living in the spirit instead of the flesh. I was struggling with lustful impulses and prayed to God for help. His spirit told me to fast so I only drank water for four days and abstained from sexual gratification. During this time I studied scripture. Through God’s word and his spirit I developed strength to overcome servitude to my carnal desires. Additionally I am more patient and have greater compassion for mankind. For instance when I was in my flesh, I would have taken sides between Palestine and Israel conflict. Now in the spirit, I pray they find Christ and cease fighting. Being saved by Christ has been a true blessing. Here is some scripture from the NT as it is relevant to my experience in case you’re interested.
Galatians 5:16-26 KJV
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
