I was thinking the thought of fighting the flesh. Recently I had a fight with my flesh literally it was as if I was almost two persons. My flesh was insulting, rude and down right nasty with no respect to my spirit. Looking back I believe that my flesh fought so hard that I literally became tired. Not because of this battle but because I could not believe how hard my flesh tried to shut my spirit up. The funny thing is my spirit did not say much at all and with nothing said but unbelievable faith on my spirit's behalf the battle was already won, I just did not know it yet. Galatians 4:29 states "But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now". This verse lays my soul at ease because my flesh will always fight against my spirit but I will not stress over the fact that the battle is not mine. I have the faith to believe that it is the lords. I continue to pray against mind binding spirit's that try to come against my faith. The body can only be as strong as the mind. Take away a mans physical and he can still make decisions as long as his mental capacity is in tact. Take away the mind the body is sure to follow one is what you would call brain dead. The body with out the spirit of truth, God's truth is dead. Only through his mercy and love the spiritual man be can be awakened from death which is sin. Only through Testimonies of God's love and soul connecting prayer can those who worship him in truth win soles to Christ. It is not those who fall but the ones who gets back up and confess their sins in truth, then receive God's forgiveness. Most of the time God forgives us, we just don't forgive ourselves. So to all God's soldiers fight the good fight and never cease praying.

Hi I think that was a very interesting post. I know that fight with flesh. But the more you walk in spirit the less hard the fight has to be. Keep yourself focused in God's word, love others and you will naturally see your flesh flee. You have the God given power to defeat the flesh. You have the power to cause the devil to flee. Don't forget to use it.

Here is the scrpture that will also add to my comment Galatians 5:22-24 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
