Quote by Neil T. Anderson

“One may ask, "How do you know whether you are walking according to the flesh or the spirit?" It's obvious according to Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these" Galatians 5:22 gives the flip side But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" To determine if you are walking according to the flesh or the Spirit, examine what's radiating out of your life. Though we are in Christ Jesus, we can still choose to operate according to the flesh. So if you have a fit of rage, what is the problem? Is somebody making you angry? Is it a deed of the other person's flesh or yours? We must assume responsibility for our own attitudes and actions. When you sense you're walking according to the flesh, confess it, and ask the Lord to take control of your life again. If we are filled with the Spirit, we will sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord (see Ephesians 5:18-20). The law of the Spirit of life is always there, and we must learn to operate according to it. "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." Galatians 5:16.”
