LUSTS OF THE FLESH

The lusts of the flesh are so subtle that sometimes it is only in times of isolation does it comes to obsess you. There is only one way to handle them and that is through the Cross. The lusts are so powerful that they can attack you and overwhelm you when you least expect them. Be watchful for your enemy works through your flesh to overcome you. This is the spiritual warfare you need to win. When the flesh is strong the spirit will grow stronger, not weaker. The spirit is up to every challenge. The flesh is weak and can easily be tempted to sin. This is why you need to acknowledge the life giving power of the spirit to overcome every weakness. For every weakness there is a solution in the spirit. God gave His Spirit to you so that you can overcome fleshly weakness. Now you can step up to the platform and fight the enemy of your soul and defeat him. His blood continuously cleanses you even when you are not aware of it. Awareness brings strength. Unconsciousness leads to weakness. Most patterns are unconscious and therefore driven by a power that springs from the depths of your soul. These unconscious patterns have been laid down from early childhood. These are the hidden drives that make people do silly things and then they are surprised when they are caught with their pants down. Praise God He makes us aware of our weakness that we may overcome through His Spirit.
