Trey Knowles: Dwelling Place Flesh or Spirit - Truth & Knowledge

Truth & Knowledge: Episode 19 – "Dwelling Place: Flesh or Spirit"
In Episode 19, Trey Knowles explores the idea that your dwelling place is not just where you live physically, but also what you choose to allow into your life—whether it's the desires of the flesh or the Spirit of God.

He emphasizes that true life is found by walking in the Spirit of Jesus, which means living in obedience to Him. If we aim to please Jesus in how we live, we are walking in the Spirit.

This teaching is rooted in Galatians 6:8, which says:

“Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

The “Spirit” here refers to the Spirit of Jesus. Living to please the Spirit leads to eternal life; living to please the flesh leads to destruction.

Trey breaks down what the "acts of the flesh" are, as described in Galatians 5:19–21—things like adultery, sexual immorality, impurity, idolatry, hatred, jealousy, rage, selfish ambition, murder, and more. These things are destructive and reflect a life centered on the flesh.

In contrast, the "fruit of the Spirit" is found in Galatians 5:22–24—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities reflect a life surrendered to Christ. Those who belong to Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Ultimately, Trey teaches that your dwelling place—flesh or Spirit—is determined by what you choose to live in and what you allow to live in you.
