You are empowered to Dominate your Flesh

1Corinthians 9:25-27 (NLT), Galatians 5:16
All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. *This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

In Christ, God has already given you victory over your flesh. God has destroyed the power of sin from your life, by crucifying your old man with Christ on the Cross, Rom.6:6. Right now, all you need to do is to have faith in Christ and keep renewing your mind with this truth that you are already dead to sin and alive to Christ, Rom.6:11. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep declaring that you are a new creation and you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Keep building your spirit and keep yielding yourself to the leading of God's Spirit in you. You can do all things through Christ that strengthens you. You have the Spirit of self-control in you, Gal.5:23. By the power of Christ, you can now kill those evil desires and lusts when they try to take over you.

Colossians 3:5-10 (GNB) says “you must put to death, then, the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry). Because of such things God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. At one time you yourselves used to live according to such desires, when your life was dominated by them. But now you must get rid of all these things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips. Do not lie to one another, for you have put off the old self with its habits and have put on the new self. This is the new being which God, its Creator, is constantly renewing in his own image, in order to bring you to a full knowledge of himself.”

FAITH DECLARATION: I am a new creation, I am righteous and I have dominion over my flesh. I am dead to sin and alive to Christ.
