“The flesh…against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other.” When will we learn these two can never be joined in harmony? What God hath put asunder, let no man join together.
The flesh will never want to go to heaven, live godly, glorify God, read the Bible, pray, and think on good things. Why then do we try incessantly to get our flesh to agree with, and to desire, what the Spirit does? We spend a lifetime thinking something is wrong with us, because in our natural state we do not feel the same way about things as the Spirit.
When we deny the flesh any say-so in spiritual matters, denying it recognition, then the guilt of it not desiring the spiritual will subside.
