BUT, I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind… (Romans 7:23). Being born again does not mean we are done fighting the desires of our flesh. CHRIST lives in our hearts
, but our sinful (carnal) nature wants to maintain power. Carnal minds hate spiritual things: we will always have a battle to fight.
Daily, decide to live saved- before your feet touch the floor.
Our old nature is sinful. It fights because it wants to sin. It is our responsibility to make sure we do not; flesh must die daily in CHRIST. The born-again SPIRIT, in us cannot sin; it is of GOD and seeks higher ground.
We sin because we were born in sin. “But [like a boxer] I (strictly discipline) my body and make it my slave (to live right), so after I have preached [witnessed] to others...., I will not be as unfit for service (1Cor 9:27AMP). We must bring and keep our bodies and minds unto subjection of the LORD.
Christians Must Pray!
The devil knows who, where, when, and how to tempt; the flesh knows how to respond. he searches for weak and carnal saints. he times it right and gives us a “good” reason to sin. When we are upset, lied on, or caught off guard, he provides his best wrong solution. No one is off limit to him. “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall (1 Cor 10:12). GOD has armed us well for every fight. The flesh does not want to lose, but it must. A Christian’s response to everything must reflect the side we lean, stand, and pray on. Christians are soldiers fighting on the LORD’S SIDE.
Our bodies can appear as our opponent with a mind and will of its own. Do not be led by appetites or spirits that war against GOD. Instead, choose to fight hard, and you will win.
