There is a catch though. We must stop walking after the flesh and start walking after the Spirit. That means doing those things that are Spirit led. Allowing God's Holy Spirit to help us die to the flesh. One of the hardest things to do is to die to the things of the flesh. To die to what you want to do yourself and come alive to the things the Spirit wants you to do.
When you start to move in the things God wants you to do, don't expect people to applaud. But regardless of what anyone does or says, each one of us who are born again must also be Spirit led. When we are Spirit led and are following after the things of the Spirit we will not have as many problems with the flesh. One of the prayers of every Christian should be, "Lord help me to be led by your Spirit to such a degree that others will see you in me." When we determine in our hearts to do this we will indeed be led by His Spirit and not give in to flesh.
