Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
The flesh can be very wicked, especially if it has a dark soul. The crucifixion of an innocent man proves how evil and dark our souls can be without Him. Jesus knew His purpose was to save us and to accomplish this, He had to die. But, it was how we made Him suffer, and we knew He was innocent.Thank You, Lord, that You understood us and did not hold what our ancestors did to You against us. So, teach us not to be resentful or angry in our hearts towards others. Father, help us set our minds on things above, not on things on earth. For we have died with You, and now You live within us. So, put to death what is earthly in us and baptize with the Holy Spirit that empowers us to walk in righteousness. Lord, we admit to You that our flesh is much stronger at times, and we allow the enemy to win. But Lord, we ask You for strength and wisdom to defeat the enemy the next time he comes against us. Lord, help us study daily and pray without ceasing because You know that nothing good dwells in our flesh. Father, we desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out without You. In Jesus' name Amen
