Yesterday I ended with that we needed to put our flesh into submission and that is the first step if you want to call it to align with God's desires. If you seek God's desires, but you do nothing about your desires it will not be a victory but a setup for failure. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. James 1:14-15. If we give into our desires, it gives birth to sin and that leads to death, I don't about you, but I don't want it on my tombstone to say, he died for his own desires. So, that is why we have to put our flesh, our body, and our mind into submission.
This takes you saying the verse in James 4:7, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. But take it further and say, I submit to you to God. I resist the devil and I declare/proclaim the devil will flee. Call it out, sin is sin don't be shy, and run away if you have to! Show Authority, if someone said in a low voice to leave would you do? Maybe you would but mostly not but if someone shouted you needed to leave you would definitely do it. Get vocal and tell the lies that the world is generating for our lives no more I submit to God and deny my flesh.
Right now, I am going to do the same thing I am asking you to do, and that is to pray.
Dear God, I pray this morning for our flesh to be put into submission
I submit to you and resist the devil, evil, negative thoughts
And declare that these things will flee from me
Right now in Jesus name
I capture everything that is unholy and put it into submission to you
The desire of this world you no longer have a hold on me
Because I am a child of God and put my hope and trust in Jesus Christ
In Jesus Name
Amen
Pray this prayer and trust in God, for He will battle for you once you submit to Him!!!

Have a blessed day!!!!
