Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied (Proverbs 27:20)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

After we are born again and have the Spirit of God in us, we learn to control our flesh by following that which is brought to our mind by the Spirit of God, going in that way of God in the issues of this present life.

 

Flesh never improves.

 

We simply learn to follow the Spirit of God when our flesh tries to rise up.

 

I John 2:15-17  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

 

Matthew 24:1-2   And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

 

Revelation 6:12-14  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

 

I Peter 4:1-2  Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;  That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

 

I Cor. 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

 

If we follow that which the Spirit brings to mind, we will not walk in the ways the flesh wants to go.  It is easy, for all we have to do is follow the Spirit of God.  (He will remind us!)
