Flesh and spirit

The flesh and spirit wrestle against each

other,the flesh wants us to indulge in things

that are contrary to God.

Defiling our walk with a pure God,making 

us a slave of sin to gratify our sinful nature.

Shamefully, we violate Gods rules and 

regulations due to our carnality.

The things we want to do, we don't do it.

The things we don't want to do, we do it.

Two opposite forces are at war,battling to

win the fight,struggling to overcome the

flesh is not so easy.

It requires strength,self-control and patience.

The flesh craves for sexual pleasure,it has a

uncontrollable appetite for sexual excitment.

Enticing us to fantasize about sex,persuading

us to masturbate,tempting us to watch 

pornography and willingly have sex outside 

of marriage.

The flesh craves for alcohol and drugs,

harmful substances that disfigures outward 

appearance,making the body dependent and 

addicted.

The flesh needs to die,to be crucified with

Jesus,the spirit needs to rule and have dominion

to make us conquerors.
