The Native American Christian

There's this story about this Native American Christian that Aaron likes to tell. I always wonder, who is this mysterious Native American Christian? Is it Aaron himself? He's part native American. Is it his relative? Is it some author I've never heard of? Regardless, it's a great story that portrays Biblical Truth clearly.
It's based on Galatians 5 and Romans 8:

Galatians 5:16-17
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

Romans 8:5-8
Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

Here's how it goes:
The Native American Christian says,
"I have a war between two dogs, the flesh and the spirit.
"Who's winning?" he was asked.
He answered, "Whichever dog I feed"

And isn't that so true. When you sow to the flesh (aka sinful nature), guess what you're gonna harvest. Fleshly things. But when you do things that build you up spiritually in Christ, then you're sowing to the spirit.

Galatians 6:7-8
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

I was talkin' to some fellas this morning and they wanted to know how to escape sin, but for some reason I got the feeling they didn't like hearing that Jesus was the answer. They wanted some answer that didn't involve clinging to Christ. "Just tell me how to get free from this sin and that'll be enough." Duh! Clinging to Christ is the answer!

John 15:4-7
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

Even freedom from sin?

Especially freedom from sin!

Why don't you try sowing to the spirit? You will surely reap good fruit!
