Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Crucify Mr Flesh. Why is this very instructive? It is instructive to us because we are flesh and blood, and we have this inherent weakness called the flesh. To crucify is to criticize severely and unrelentingly. When something has become severe, that means the thing is harsh. So, crucify is not a mild word. To crucify is a harsh kind of death than when they stone someone; I'm not saying it's not a gruesome death, but I don't think the extent of it is as the person who is alive, and you are nailing the leg, you are nailing the hand, and you are crucifying Him. It is harsh; it is difficult. I'm not saying flesh has your way, but I'm saying flesh, you are alive, I know it, but I'm going to nail you. Flesh, you are alive, I know it, but I will bind you. Flesh, you are alive, I know it, but I'm going to set you on fire or ablaze. Flesh, you are alive, and I know it, but I will criticize you severely and unrelentingly; I won't stop. If you read Galatians chapter 5:16-26 very carefully, We have been shown that the flesh has a defensive position against the Spirit. When the Spirit is the ruling party, the flesh will always be in opposition. And the Spirit against the flesh, so when the flesh is the ruling party, the Spirit will always stand in opposition. And these are contrary to one another. So, the Spirit is standing the other way when the flesh is standing this way. You cannot bring agreement between the flesh and the Spirit. The flesh and the Spirit are not always in the same party. Flesh is always at another party, while the Spirit is always at another party. So, we must understand that they are contrary to one another. 'So that you do not do the things that you wish.' So, this tells us that, as a believer, you don't think you are to do what you wish. Like saying, I feel like smoking; it is not you, but the flesh; you are fulfilling the lust of the flesh. I feel like having a boy or girlfriend for sexual pleasure; you are fulfilling the lust of the flesh. As a believer, you can't do what you wish; a party directs your affairs with their ideologies and philosophy. So, it is either you are in the party of the flesh or you are in the party of the Spirit. If you are in the party of the flesh, you will fulfill the lust of the flesh. If you are in the party of the Spirit, the desires of the Spirit, you will do. The Bible says that God works in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure, so you are not doing what you wish. Don't ever think you are in charge. Please don't say it is my life: it is not valid. One is living that life through you, either the flesh or the Spirit. So, never think you are in charge; 'I am the one running things'; you are running nothing. Either Mr. Flesh is running things for you, or the Holy Spirit is running it. One party is running it for you. I'm not saying this out of my head; this is Scripture! Beloved, to genuinely walk with Christ, you must crucify Mr. Flesh!
