What does it mean to die to your flesh?
It means to —
Die to your worldly desires.
Die to temptation & addictions.
Die to what you think is right versus what is actually right.
Die to your ego & to your pride.
Die to anxiety & overthinking.
Die to having fear.
Die to the things that hold you back from using your gifts.
Die to gossiping & lying.
Die to false expectations & projections.
Die to the victim mentality.
Die to the trauma bonding.
Die to seeking attention & validation from other people.
Die to materialistic things that can be replaced.
Die to performing in a lifestyle you were never called to create.
Obedience doesn’t just mean to get the work done.
It also means saying “no” to what your flesh wants, and saying “yes” to what God wants.
Every day is a constant battle between the flesh & spirit. We are all the same flesh — with that being said, this does not make me greater than you. Repent, have discernment, belong to a strong community, stay obedient, and pick up that cross daily because HE is greater than us.
