What if you had two dogs, or two cats or even two plants, for this example? What if you fed one and starved the other? You know exactly what would happen. One would live and the other would die. Now, I’m not advocating starving any animals, don’t take this wrong. My point is simple; whatever you feed, will become stronger, and whatever you starve, will become weaker.
Read this scripture below.
Galatians 5:17 (NLT) “The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.”
Your Spirit nature and your flesh nature are two forces constantly fighting each other. Your flesh nature is trying to keep you from carrying out what your Spirit nature is directing. Your Spirit nature is always moving you toward God’s plans and purposes for your life. Your flesh nature is always trying to sabotage your Spirit nature.
Here’s the bottom line: Feed the spirit nature and starve the flesh nature. Your Spirit will become stronger and your flesh will become weaker. Eventually your flesh will be no match for your Spirit.
The word of the day is feed. Feed your Spirit nature. Feed yourself with God’s Word, prayer, worship, good fellowship, good entertainment, good conversation, etc.
Starve the flesh and he will die. This will make your life better.
