The Fruit of The Flesh :vs: Fruit of The Spirit
Things of the Flesh vs Things of the Spirit
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
(Minding things of the flesh : mind fixed on and lying in wait towards and devising fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, harming, killing)
(Being after the Spirit : seeking the kingdom of God & devising good works (Mathew25/Isaiah58 - Sheep living & sharing ones bread<many different kinds of daily provision(s), time, the gospel & experience> with the hungry) in the perfect law of liberty & true religion)
8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (James1:25)
8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
-------
Galatians 5:17 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.
5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
5:21 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.
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (MATHEW 25 - OUR MINISTRY TOWARD BOTH FELLOWS AND THOSE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES ENEMIES)

Wisdom for Purposeful & effective Discernment of distribution - 2Corinthians8:13-15/ re:mathew25-"least of these" - noting whichever kind of resource & when & why in all Spirit and Truth by faith and trust in the lord further than just the material resource itself.
Also to note about the fruits of the flesh and the spirit are the difference between drunkeness and sobriety, even other aspects pertaining to both spiritual and physical health.
When Jesus said that it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man or person, but the things which proceed from the heart, the same kind of list given in the fruit of the flesh are there, fornication adultery hatred (harmful/violent/evil speaking/deeds/concoction/devising), even false witness(lying), how life and death are in the power of the tongue.
Matthew 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
James 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
James 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
The worlds wisdom may not agree with it, but the effects are very clear, even in the certain declarations of its wisdom and knowledge not in line with the word of God that all things God created are good, e.g. when anyone speaks negatively of foodstuffs, "chemical compounds & portions of it, "alcohol" or certain "substances", the effects of anything else they partake in are not aparent on the same scale, but evident in the fact that what they are speaking evil of is also in everything else they partake in.
Some facts to note about what the world calls hot sauce, chilli, and similar foodstuffs, are that they actualy do not carry within themselves the "sensation" of "burning", but because they are "internationaly presented" in such depiction of doctrine and teaching, the conscience of those who partake in them in such manner or mind has an effect on those who dont consider that an idols tempt truly is of abstinant teaching according to 1Corinthians8-11(11:30), which corresponda to 1Timothy4 & Colossians2, even Mathew 15 in its very basic principle of understanding that all things God made on earth are good and nothing to be "refused"(considered waste/bad/unconsumable).
A prime example is the one that is in everyones face with what the world calls "drugs", which is another word for "Pharamceuticals" since a "Pharmacy" is a "Drug Store" even written as thus is many other places i.e. america, you will find them on basicaly every corner, which renders the basic pain killer (Panado, Compral, Grandpa Powder) actualy a "drug", in which it is interesting to describe the taste and flavour of a pain killer tablet as a certain shade of "bitter", as there are many and these being of powder form after the drying from cooking the paste, otherwise powder in a capsule, which is no wonder why at the end of 1Timothy5 wine is "perscribed" for anyones frequent infirmities and for their "bellys sake" of which are many kinds of bitter flavours amongst wines and alcohols. When anyone considers "vitamins in both solid or liquid form, what the world calls "energy drinks", some being made with ginseng or coffe extract of caffiene, the same "food politics" applies differenciating teaching from experience with flavour and consciencial result.
This also makes sense why anything considered medicinal graduates to become food or drink, and not to regress backward further to becoming a poison, the excess that the world tries to evaluate in physical volume and constantly hypocriticaly evolving "rates" is sound and constant in the spiritual and physical reality of the word of God.
The utmost concerning faith would be to examine what the world calls and terms "placebo surgery", where if any ailment is deemed "incurable", then the person provided a medication, perhaps a pill given a "strange name" yet it would truly be a chalk pill, and the findings of certain recoveries from such excersize, this "maneuver" pointing to the faith of the person injesting it and belieivng being told that it will indeed cure them, but to no excuse of lying to them about what the pill actualy is, which takes us right back to the word of God concerning communion and the discerning and partaking in the Lords Supper which comes right before 1Corinthians11:30 along with all else that goes with chapters 8-11 considering God's creation (Mathew15/Timothy4-5/Colossians2).
When you look at the doctrinal arangement of provisions in life, finding that all if not most of the drinks in a "grocery store", or general store are sweet, and the vast cascade of bitter flavoured drinks ate found in what is called a "bottle store or "bar", we have to consider the PURPOSEFUL presentation in terms of teaching and doctrine promoted surrounding the substances which is not even in the nature of the locations but the hearts of people and whatever reasoning their partaking contains.
In zimbabwe, a drink called "Kambucha" for the past 2 years or so has beclme very popular amongst people in society, which is a ginger based drink, often mixed with black pepper, vinegrets or other vegetable liquid extracts and was initialy presented as a "traditiinal drink" in a semi herbalist-cultural manner. For the first year of its nation wide distribution, people were enthusiastic about it being on the market and there was nothing negative or otherwise than it being good said about it, then slowly into the seccond and this being the 3rd year of its production, all of a sudden there are so many people who declare that "it gets you drunk", which has never been true or the case at hand.
What would be more looked into is the social activity from the past two years of all age groups having so many people falling into adulterousness and multiple sexual orients in their daily lives and encounters with any members of the oposite sex compared to those who maintain oneness of flesh in both understanding as well as behaviour inside and out. There is also more to consider concerning the rise in false-witness because of the social nature of this "false information age", as well as thr violent nature of others, and anything else in the list given in Mathew 15 of actions and words proceeding from the heart.
At this point, understanding how the devil roams around seeking whom he may devour, it is to know that it takes note of what people believe in order to use it against them, even projecting towards their minds or coscience things contrary to the Spirit and truth of the word of God, especialy for themselves who should be of sound mind and good health, even active in righteousness inwardly and outworkingly in Jesus Christ.
This speaks volumes for the declarations of harlotry, assumings of lying spirits when it comes to false witness, why we are asked to discern spiritualy by the word of God and to not bear the former being which is corrupted "by the flesh" with those things listen in the works of the flesh, but to maintain the Fruit of the Spirit which is Life given and giving.
