Yesterday, we emphasized eating the Word. It means reading and hearing the Word of God so much that it fills your heart. One of the reasons why this is important is because if you don’t intentionally feed your spirit, your flesh could become too strong. Our opening verse shows that there is a constant battle between “the flesh” and “the spirit”. The flesh represents that part of man that has not been transformed by the work of Christ. When you get born again, it’s your spirit that is born again. Your body is still the same. If you don’t feed your spirit your flesh will have the upper hand. This is why many struggle to do spiritual things. They struggle to pray and serve God because their flesh is too strong. The only way out is to “eat the word and soak in prayer”. Say after me: I will eat the word!
