Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
When the Bible talks about your flesh, it’s talking about the things you desire to do, your senses and your appetites. I’ve seen and heard many cry as they pray to crucify their flesh. That prayer is wrong. You don’t have to struggle for your flesh to align with the Word of God; just fill your thoughts with the words of Christ. Simply walking in the Spirit in constant fellowship with God helps you overcome the flesh and its appetites.
When the Lord Jesus is the Lord of your body, you do what Paul explained in Romans 12:1, you present your body to Him as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God because your body is His body. The body in which you live is God's property. You're living inside as a tenant and custodian; you’re taking care of it for God. So, be Christ-minded; that way, you become master over your flesh and mortify the deeds of the body.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My mind is completely yielded to the Word of God as I walk in the Spirit. I shall never struggle with the lust of the flesh in Jesus' Name! Amen.
