Our Fight With The Flesh
by Deborah Ann Belka Jesus came not to condemn, but to save us from our sin to free us from the bondage of the lust that lives within. But, the flesh ~ fights the spirit, as it works its way into our life and the lusts of this world brings upon us ~ spiritual strife. The works of the flesh are clear, they are all written in the Bible . . . and so many of them are difficult for us to tame or to even bridle. But you have got to stay away, form sexual immortality of any kind and jealousy, envy, or indignation must not fill your heart and mind. You mustn't bow to any other god, or practice magic with an evil host and all your drinking and carousing mustn't be how in this life you coast. You must put away your contention, all your anger and your wrath and all of your selfish ambitions you must send packing down the path. The sins of the flesh are written, for every eye to see . . . and we must repent of them if in heaven, we want to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Galatians 5:19-21 King James Version "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 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."
