GOD’S goal is for us to grow up in Him. He doesn’t want us to stay baby Believers! He wants us to become mature overcomers. Being an overcomer means learning how to walk after the Spirit, not after our flesh!
As long as we’re letting our flesh rule us, we’re not free. And if we’re not free, we’re not enjoying a life of freedom.
We must realize that we all have to deal with our flesh for as long as we live. We’re going to have a choice to sow to our flesh or sow to our spirit!
We’re never going to become so spiritual that our flesh never gives us trouble. The flesh will always want control! However, if we submit ourselves to GOD daily, He will break the power of our flesh and change us!
Romans 13:14
But put on the Lord YESHUA and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
We cannot defeat the flesh with the power of the flesh. But by yielding to the power of GOD’S Spirit, we can live dead to sin and alive in MESSIAH and then enjoying the life of freedom YESHUA died to give us!
