The will of God…The denial of self….spirit against flesh

After receiving Christ one might end up saying… Yay I’m saved…No more troubles…sins washed away.. A New start and a new life.  Yet as one study and life happens. The word starts to reveal that the spirit man is saved yet our flesh has not be changed….Uhh oh!!! This is a major problem in church. Realizing that our flesh is not saved or changed yet.!!! So if there is lack of understanding this means at any second I could fall back into old habits, sin, and old ways… God’s children wait until the day when our bodies are made incorruptible but until then we are yet required to live holy and saved. How is this accomplish when the spirit is in a daily battle with the flesh…This is not a talk only life but our actions have to match. If the Holy ghost gives us power then what is the problem??? Cleary the spirit is getting denied and a form of Godliness has taken place. But I’m determined to live after the spirit and mind the things of the spirit. The bible admonishes us to crucify our affections and passions. This is not a game..But true spiritual warfare…And we must go beyond to keep our flesh under subjection or we will fail to get our chance to get delivered from these bodies. No more striving  against,ignoring,  or resisting the spirit. But the Holy ghost needs to have full reign in all areas of our lives… If its fasting more than once or twice a week than that is what it takes to keep this flesh in check. Can’t get cut off from God’s presence and his promises of eternal life. I’m determined to do God’s will and to see his face in peace. Not to be declared a worker of iniquity who denied the power…So lets deny ourselves because for the joy set before Him endured the cross…Lets endure the trials and the tests.. not in our own strength but relying on the Power of God!!! I’m determined.
