Bible Exposition on Taming the Flesh

Many have narrated experiences of how they
tried to pray but felt so weak, they couldn’t
even utter any words. Some have also described how they
had some terrible attacks while sleeping. They felt some
evil force pressing them down and choking them, and
they tried to shout “Jesus!” but couldn’t move their mouths.
The human spirit during sleep recognized what was going
on, but was helpless to get the body to cooperate. So
even though their spirit was awake and knew what to
say,the spirit couldn’t act because the flesh had the mastery.
This is why you must learn to tame your flesh and its
senses by engaging in spiritual exercises. 1 Timothy 4:8
says, “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is
profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that
now is, and of that which is to come.” You must strengthen
and position your spirit to have the mastery over your
flesh.
There are spiritual exercises you can engage in as a
Christian that’ll help train your spirit. One of them is
memorizing scriptures. Even though the scriptures are
meant to be stored in your heart, it’s very important that
you train your mind to keep and recall them. Another
form of exercise is fasting and praying. When you fast
Tame The Flesh!
(Matthew 26:40-41)

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
