After
we are born again and have the Spirit of God in us, we learn to control
our flesh by following that which is brought to our mind by the Spirit
of God, going in that way of God in the issues of this present life.
Flesh never improves.
We simply learn to follow the Spirit of God when our flesh tries to rise up.
I John 2: 15-17 Love
not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is
in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Matthew 24:1-2
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples
came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said
unto them,
See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be
left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Revelation 6:12-14 And
I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a
fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
I Peter 4:1-2 Forasmuch
then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath
ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in
the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
I Cor. 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but
God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye
may be able to bear it.
If
we follow that which the Spirit brings to mind, we will not walk in the
ways the flesh wants to go. It is easy, for all we have to do is
follow the Spirit of God. (He will remind us!)
