The flesh cannot be tamed by our human strength. No matter how hard we try and no matter how many rules we create and follow, the flesh will remain the flesh. The only way to have victory over the flesh is to surrender to the leadership of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one who had victory over the flesh.
Once we are born again we have to reckon and understand that the Lord has given us victory over the flesh. On our own we cannot and will never have victory over the desires of the flesh. As long as we are here on earth the flesh will continually have war with the Holy Spirit.
The flesh is flesh even the good part of the flesh is still evil. When we accomplish things by way of the flesh, even good things, its still evil. The flesh is very crafty, it knows that we humans like to look good and we like to worship God. It will make it seem like we are on the right path. The pride of the flesh is very dangerous.
This week I want us to be careful of the flesh, both the sinful flesh and the prideful flesh. The flesh is flesh it will lead you astray.
