YOU CANNOT OUTLIVE THE FLESH

YOU CANNOT OUTLIVE THE FLESH

I know you would like too, but as long as you walk around in a natural body you are going to battle the flesh in some measure. For this reason you must, make a daily choice to "not let sin rule as king in your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions. [19] ... For as you yielded your bodily members and faculties as servants to impurity and ever increasing lawlessness, so now yield your bodily members and faculties once for all as servants to righteousness (right being and doing) which leads to sanctification." Romans 6:12,19 (AMP)

You must face the fact that your physical body is unredeemable, I can keep it healthy and strong but sin damaged it so badly that flesh and blood can never inherit the kingdom of God; neither can corruption inherit incorruption. [51] I will show you a mystery; You shall not all sleep, but some shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible with a spiritual body, and those who did not die yet, shall be changed, into their new eternal bodies. [53] For this corruptible flesh must put on the incorruptible body, and this very limited mortal body must put on the unlimited immortal body." 1 Corinthians 15:50-53 (KJV)

So here is what you and every kingdom person must do; every single day, you live in your physical body, you must Say NO! and Mortify your members which are upon the earth; fornication, sexual fantasies, homosexuality, evil strong sexual desires, and covetousness, which is idolatry: [8] and also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. [9] Do not lie to one another, see that you daily put off the old flesh man with his deeds; [10] And every morning put on you new man nature , which is renewed in knowledge after My image, the one that created you:

If ye then be risen with Me, you are a new creature so each day, seek those things which are above, where I sit on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." Colossians 3:1-2,5,8-10 (KJV) Listen, It's not going to just happen by itself, not as long as you are in that decaying flesh and blood body. There is always going to be something to get angry over, covet, lust after, there is always going to be handsome guys, beautiful girls, drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Face it, the opportunity for sin abounds. "But where sin abounds, grace, with the power to say NO! abounds even more!:" Romans 5:20 (KJV)

Never think you have arrived, not until you are on the other side of the grave, with your new body. Meet with Me every morning, stay in fellowship with those who are kingdom minded, and constantly cast down your imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against My knowledge, and bring into captivity every thought and make it obey Me; 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) This is the only way you will win the life long battle over the flesh.
