Christians often have the idea that they want to kick their bad habits and their sin before they get their life right with God. The problem with that idea is that without the Holy Spirit giving us the power to rid ourselves of that sin, it’s IMPOSSIBLE!

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you d put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Romans 8:13

We have to first be controlled and led by God’s Spirit…it’s after we submit ourselves to the power and authority of God can we put sin to death.

If you want to live through the battle, you have to kill the flesh. And you can’t do that alone.
