The flesh of man loves to hate

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

An explosive racial trial took place in July, 2013, in USA.  I was thinking about that and the Holy Spirit said to me, "It's not the racial that is the problem.  It is the hatred.  Man loves to hate."

Hatred is one of the works of the flesh of man.  The natural man works toward hatred and has to hate something.  This is the root of the problem.

Gal. 5 ... Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  17For 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. 18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 

19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (debating), emulations (trying to win out of others), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, 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. 

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.


We, who have the Spirit of God, have a choice.  We can follow the flesh and do it's works.  Or we can follow the Spirit and do it's works.

We, who have the Spirit of God, once served the flesh.  But now we are free to serve God.  Again, it is a choice.  We serve God through prayer, committing the flesh to God and following that which God reveals to us.
