When we are born through our parents, we are born in the flesh of man.
When we are born again by God by HIS Spirit, we are born in the Spirit of God.
The flesh produces the works of the flesh which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 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. (Gal. 5:19-21)
Our flesh leads us to do these things when we follow the desires and will of our flesh.
But when we are born of the Spirit of God, we have God living in us, so we can be godly and follow God by HIS Spirit, keeping our flesh under control by choosing to go in the way of the Spirit of God.
Gal. 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
When we follow the Spirit of God we automatically bear the fruits of the Spirit for He is in us and we follow HIM doing HIS works.
God gives us "another spirit", changing us from within. We simply follow HIS SPIRIT, doing what the Spirit brings to our mind.
The Holy Spirit of God will never lead us to go in the way of the flesh of man for that is opposite to the Spirit of God and would be destructive for us and for those in our path.
As we follow the Spirit of God we are blessings to all persons who come across our path.

Romans 8
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending HIS own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
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.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
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.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
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.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
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.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
