OVERCOMING THE FLESH

Help me Lord to overcome the flesh and to move in the Spirit. The flesh is weak but the spirit is strong. The same battles that the saints before faced, you too will face in the flesh. The flesh is dead but still torments you with its desires and urges. They are just an illusion. The devil will make you think the flesh is still alive but you know that you are dead in Christ by faith. As long as you operate in faith then the flesh cannot have dominion over you. The ego is strong but melts when you enter His presence. This is the only way to walk the talk. The Spirit in you will help you for He is alive and lives in the present. The ego is not interested in the present but only in the past and in the future. This is why it is an illusion. The illusion seems real because you identify with it. You fight the ghosts of the past and the future because they are all an illusion. When you recognise this then you become conscious of this and in that instant your ego melts and gives way to your spirit. Hallelujah, glory.
