Problem areas.
I have discovered that there are three main problem areas in the lives of Believers. These problem areas, if left alone and not controlled, will prevent any Christian from living and walking in victory.
The problem areas are:
- The Flesh… which needs to be crucified and kept crucified.
- The Mind… which needs to be renewed and kept renewed.
- The Mouth… which needs to be controlled all the time.
The flesh is constantly warring against the spirit. I do not need to tell you this. You experience it every day. It rebels against the spirit. It is at odds with God. It hates the Word. It resists the Holy Ghost. It likes to run loose. It demands attention. Uncontrolled, it causes misery, guilt, condemnation, and failure.
The Bible tells us how to have victory over the flesh.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal. 5:16
The way to overcome flesh is to walk in the Spirit. It is our flesh that is constantly giving us trouble. It is our flesh that causes us the most grief. Flesh is not sinful in itself. It was created by God. It is when we allow flesh to be controlled by a carnal mind and an uncontrolled will that we are tempted to sin… and usually yield to it.
To walk in the Spirit means to have your total life (spirit, soul and body) controlled by the Holy Ghost, the living Spirit of the Most High God, Who lives in you.
The flesh lusts. It is the nature and character of the flesh to lust. Lust after food. Lust after rest. Lust after gratification. Lust after comfort. Lust after pleasure. Lust after money. Lust after attention.
In order to prevent lust from having its fulfillment our lives need to be controlled by our Re-created Spirit.
