Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
You do realise that both fuzzy and libertine are what they are because God causes them to be what they are. They can't help being foolish and will be until God no longer needs them to be foolish (as part of the divine plan).
all creation groans and waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. When the glory ups its ampage, love in its power will shine..co-creating heaven on earth. til then, hang on, its going to be a bumpy ride.
Romans 7:19-25 A war wages inside you. A struggle which which we all face. I speak of the battle of the mind against the flesh. When I speak of the flesh, I'm not taking about your skin, blood and muscle. I'm talking about that thing inside you — your basic sin nature. The flesh constantly defies and rebels against God, and it is inside you, waging war against your mind. The flesh wants to take you and make you a prisoner to sin. Trapped and ensnared, you become nothing more than a sinful, lustful bag of bones. Is there any hope? Can you have victory? Yes, but there is only one way.
No battle on this front. My flesh and mind happen to enjoy sex, drugs, and rock n roll, and I feed the cravings as often as possible.
Amen to that! Heck, yeah! I know I've got some flesh issues...^^;;; ALOT...to be precise, but it's gotten better. G-d helped me in this area alot. Sometimes my soul wrestles with my flesh too... Flesh: I'm hungry!! I want to eat! Soul: I'm gaining weight, I need to diet.
