Why is Flesh so powerful that alots of Christian Brethren falls into it's sin? And how can we overcome the power of flesh completely? Or how can we make our body(flesh) to be dead to sin(worldly affections)? |

We can't run away from the flesh except we die. We can overcome the flesh. We need the help of God, no doubt. And when i say 'we', i mean those that have received eternal life. And we don't give room to the flesh to be too strong. |

There are two types of real christians. The carnal christian and the spiritual christian. We're all supposed to be spiritual christians btw. One easy fleshly indicator is the mouth i.e food and talk. |

To feed on the word of God. It has power to change a man. 1 Peter 2:1-2 1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: There are two kinds of carnal Christians .The new baby convert and the old convert that refused to grow up. The word of God is the antidote to come out of carnality. The mind is the battle ground between the flesh and the spirit. When the word of christ richly indwell a Christians mind , he is renewed in thought and transformed in character. Romans 12:2 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1 Like |

Psalms 119:37 Turn my eye from worthless things, and give life through your word. Exercise control on what you look at and read the bible everyday. Prov 4:23-27 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; Stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from doing evil. The heart represents the center of emotions, thinking and reason. The heart is crucial in the battle between wisdom and foolishness, between righteousness and evil. Ones words orginate in the heart. Avoid the urge to gossip, tell lies, or slander. Learn the act of clearing your mind of sin and sinful thoughts. Let the fear of the Lord increase in your life and draw closer to him |

None of these advices will let anyone overcome the control of the "EGO", which you call the "flesh". They may alienate you from the world you live in and turn you into a religious fundermentalist, but you won't overcome the flesh. cultey: |
