“It is the Spirit who gives life;
the flesh profits nothing.”
JOHN 6:63
If
we grow impatient and fall into the flesh then we become weaker. To
react in the flesh
diminishes spiritual authority, and this must be avoided at all costs.
Allowing the flesh to have its way for only a moment guarantees defeat
against a spiritual adversary.
“We
worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no
confidence in the flesh” (Philippians 3:3). To lose all confidence in
the flesh is to take the higher ground of the Spirit. To meet flesh with
flesh means the victory
will go to the strongest, and there is always someone stronger than you
according to the flesh.
