Now let us take a look at this battle or race that we are in. What we are to fight and resist are Satan’s lies and our own fleshly desires and temptations to eat more food than the body is calling for (greed). Paul described the location of this battle in Romans 7:21-23 when he said,
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. Paul went on to say that the Holy Spirit of Christ sets us free from the law of sin and death. But rest assured that we must constantly battle to submit our wills and train our minds to stay focused on what the law of Christ is; and we must put to death our earthly desires.
So we know where the battle is—it is in the mind and heart. And we have some knowledge of what we are up against in this war— our own fleshly desire or will. We know we will win the war if we stay focused on the Spirit of Jesus Christ and on the will of God. This means we spend our energy getting our minds off our earthly wants as Paul described in Colossians 3:5a: “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature . …” By the way, when we put something to death, it is best that we do not slowly torture it to death. “Put to death” or “rid yourself” is a swift, fast action. What we like to do, though, is think about it, consider giving up the food, hear other people talking about giving up their food, and check them out to be sure they have not died doing it—you know, the “drip-drip” method. We do not like to rush into things, but playing around with this process can only get us into real trouble. But as one thing dies, the life of God comes alive in our hearts!
