THE FLESH IS A WICKED BEING.
John 6:63: "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."
Have you not heard that the flesh is a wicked being? There is no benefit in engaging with the flesh; whether the trade is small or large, you will ultimately lose.
The flesh has already been judged; it brings nothing but destruction and pain. While it may seem like enjoyment or pleasure at first, in the end, it will bring you disgrace.
Whenever a person relies on the flesh, they become weak. It is the Spirit that gives life, and the Word of God is both Spirit and Life. You cannot turn your back on that Word and expect to have life or strength. If you seek to be empowered, you must rely on the Spirit rather than the flesh.
The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. You cannot fulfill your divine assignment while being consumed by the flesh. Many Christians desire to grow spiritually, yet they hinder their growth by allowing the flesh to dominate them. There is no spiritual power in the flesh; the things of God are spiritual, and both power and strength are divinely bestowed. You cannot be in the flesh and expect to access these divine resources.
You must judge the flesh and its actions if you are to grow, as there is no life in the flesh. Growth requires power, and there is no power in the wicked flesh. When you turn to the flesh, you become weak; but when you turn to the Spirit, you are strengthened. We engage with the things of God in a spiritual manner, not a carnal one.
