The flesh must die and that is today. But with all that said what is the flesh. the flesh is explained in Galatians 5:19 and it says, 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. These are the things of the flesh and the flesh unto itself does not want to worship God it wants to do what it desires. It wants to do the things of this world which are the things listed above.
Would you rather be prim and proper or go out and have a good time and get drunk? for the flesh the latter sounds better, we being alive in the spirit know and can discern what to do and which is better for us. 16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:16. We know that if we walk in the spirit we will say no to our flesh, we will be knowing what is good and what is evil and be able to discern.
The flesh has needs and instead what are supposed to fill it with, so we do not do the things of the flesh. We are as the verse says in the last paragraph, we are to walk in the spirit. We are to fill ourselves up with God and His word and the things of heaven and not the things of this earth.7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 We are to be subject to things of God and not the devil so evil will flee. we are to be rooted in God's word and His kingdom. 7 rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. Colossians 2:7. We are not to be rooted and built-up things of the earth but of God and we are to establish that with our faith.
Let that sink in as I finish for the day and pick up tomorrow where I left off.
