Keeping your body subject to your spirit

Keeping your body subject to your spirit 

1corinth 9:27 says

But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

          The Apostle Paul says in order not to be a cast away, he puts his body under subjection to his spirit.

For everyone the body has to be placed in check.

For the fact that you are born again does not mean your body would not want to do those things you used to before you become born again (Ephesians 2:2).

 Most of the times what your body wants, is not what your spirit needs. so then you have to die to your body.

          It is so “because the canal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be”

 “ so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God”  Romans 8:7-8

The bible says for us not to walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

If you must be led by the spirit you need to understand how you can put your flesh under.

The word says as many as are led by the spirit, they are the sons of God, not as many as are controlled by their body or by  sensory perception.
