Starve The Flesh, Feed The Spirit

Описание: Source for the inspiration of the song:    • How to Build Self-Control: 5 Biblical Habi...  

The second song from a 5 song series about building self-control.

Prayer: That this song helps you realize that entertaining your flesh will weaken your spiritual life.

Call To Action: My hope is that you listen to the song, watch the source material, and examine your life to start making changes that the Holy Spirit will convict you to change. Finally, that you get into your word for yourselves! Read the Holy Scriptures, for they are God-breathed and inspired by Him.

Every video released is NOT monetized. There will be NO financial gain from any video that I release. This is for people to have another source that helps change their lives, and to point people to Christ!

Lyrics:
Starve the flesh, feed the spirit!
Whatever you consistently feed will grow stronger,
and whatever you consistently starve will lose influence.
By giving into the flesh we give the flesh too much room to speak.
Self control is not lost in one big moment of failure,
it's lost slowly through repeated and practiced compromise!
When we choose comfort over obedience, distraction over devotion,
or ease over discipline the flesh gains ground.
What you allow daily shapes what controls you eventually. Galatians 6:8 says because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh,
but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
Scripture uses sow and reap in terms of seeds like planting. This shows that habits take time. Both good and bad. Strong discipline or deep weakness is the result of what's been planted or practiced repeatedly.
Your current spiritual condition is the harvest of what you have been feeding.
If you constantly feed social media, lust, comfort, entertainment, distraction, and excuses, the flesh will naturally grow bold and impatient.
It will crave instant gratification and resist anything that requires sacrifice.
Starving the flesh does not mean isolation or punishing your body.
It means setting intentional boundaries around what dulls your hunger for God.
In doing so,
you must be honest and choose to take a step back from it.
