5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. - Romans 7:5.

What are sins of the flesh and where do they come from. What most of us call sin of separation (after the new birth) or sin that sends to hell, the scriptures call 'sins of the flesh.' What is sins of the flesh? Sins of the flesh is when a believer (believers only) gives a mind to a sinning body. Let's reflect a moment on that! What is a sinning body? A sinning body is the body (body of sin) you live in. It is only a sinning body if you give it a mind. The body has no mind to sin unless you give it a mind.

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. - Romans 6:6.

When a non-believer sins (unregenerate) it comes from the sin nature, granted it is still a mind given to body but ruled by sin nature. When a believer sins (with the new Christ in you nature) it comes directly from the mind only and it does not come from nature. It only looks like nature because the old mind had it's root of teaching from the sin nature/spirit.

Foot note:
Remember the mind before Christ telling you that you are a bad person, your just a sinner and may never amount to anything, all the inhibitions. What is that? It's the sin nature. It is the nature that is no good, it is the nature that rebelled from the beginning and you did it's bidding and suffered because of it.

So the memory is still there just like it would be in a hard-drive so to speak. You will not forget how to sin as you are finding out and the act is the same as well as the results. So those that still struggle with some kind of mind issues (most of us do) of how to put life together and want to feel better this is how the scriptures go directly at the misinformation that we alone did what was did. We have never been alone, never just a you you, self for self, there has always been another compelling factor to mankind's living.

Any kind of mind issue can be labeled here, this is the answer in scripture for health and healing for the mind. You would be remiss to think it is an overnight process because it is not, but you have to start sometime and somewhere and the scriptures is where you have to start to get the mind fixed. It covers all the bases, everything is covered in mind knowledge (renewal to Christ), every emotion and every form of sickness they are included. Bless you.

The mind of the flesh becomes diseased. The Mind of Christ does not. One who lives with a diseased mind of the flesh can transcend that mind in Christ. But I must also say, God works differently in each of us, and He may choose to leave us with certain infirmaties to increase our maturity.

The new mind is the real me. The rest is just echoes of who I was.

Much love!

Mat 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Mat 17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Mat 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

into the fire.. judgement.. condemnation..
into the water ... forgiveness.. salvation.

1Ki 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

Can you imagine being the Hebrews and your being chased by the Egyptian army. And Moses says.. God is going to make a path in this here sea.
On both sides of the path the sea is churning and threatening to come down and wash you away.
Death behind you, uncertainty in front of you..
that takes faith... mm hmm

We can't do it on our own.

Thank You soul man!
