OVERCOMING FLESH
Any child of God should aspire to overcome the flesh because those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
“8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
Romans 8:8
Jesus said in John 6:63 – “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
Galatians 5:17 says – “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
“5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
Romans 8: 5-11
For these reasons, there is need for us to overcome the flesh in order for us to do the will of God. The works of the flesh that we have to overcome by putting them to death on daily bases are what Galatians 5:19 – 21 says –
“19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
However, Galatians 5:24 says – “And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
Galatians 3: 5 – 7
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6. for which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7. in the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.”
