 As you begin to respond to the Spirit man, as you begin to do the things that are according to the desires of the Spirit, the flesh, the sin nature, begins to become weaker, it begins to lose power, it begins to lose influence in your life. Here's the problem all too often. We as believers, believers, these are children of God. We're feeding, feeding, feeding the flesh. We neglect the spiritual in exchange for the earthly. We neglect the sacred in exchange for the secular. And this is not something that we ought to be doing. And when you feed the flesh, the flesh gets stronger.
