How To Discipline The Flesh
“We are more than conquerors.”
That’s what the Word of God says about us as believers. But there was a time in my life when that victorious description just didn’t seem to apply to me. I was born again; I had made Jesus Christ the Lord of my life, but something was still wrong.
Instead of living like a conqueror, I was getting conquered by everything from sickness to cigarettes to coconut pie. It’s not that I didn’t put up a fight against those things. I did! I tried—and failed—to whip them, over, and over… and over again. You know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you? You’ve been there, and you’re not alone.
