The Spirit aka the Breath of life, but also The Word is Spirit and Jesus is the Word of life that was manifested to us in the flesh. But it is also written that our blood is our life. Jesus said to eat of his body meaning The Word aka Bread of life and drink his blood aka Spirit of life.
Those who left him saying: this is hard sayings, who can eat his flesh and drink his blood had no spiritual understanding so they could not rightly divide the Word. For they could only understand the literal sayings and did not understand the spiritual Word that was being spoken to those with ears to hear what THE SPIRIT was saying to them.
Our spirit resides in our blood that is why we can some men of good blood and some of bad blood when it is really a matter of the spirit they are of that displays their bloodline. Those of the flesh are still carnally minded to produce the character of their father the devil and those led of the Spirit are spiritually minded to produce the character of their Father God. Man can say they believe, but we shall know them by their fruit which displays their true bloodline aka spirit man.
Rom 8:2-21
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh{JUST TO LOOK AT THE LAW CHANGES NO ONE, ONLY BY THE SPIRIT CAN WE LEARN HOW TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN GOD'S SIGHT AS THE WORD INDWELLS US}, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace{FOR THEY HAVE OVERCOME THEIR FLESH THAT KEEPS THEM TORMENTED DUE TO CONTINUED SINFUL LIFESTYLES}.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be{ONLY BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAN YOU OBEY THE WORD OF GOD}.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin{WE NO LONGER DESIRE TO SIN}; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
KJV
John 6:53-58
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55 For my flesh is meat{Meat of the Word} indeed, and my blood{drink in the Spirit} is drink indeed.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me {ABIDE IN THE WORD}, and I in him{AND THE WORD ABIDES IN HIM}.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
KJV
If you find that you are still held captive to your flesh to sin.... sincerely ask God to take the desire away and to create in you a new heart that is open to HIS WORD. If you really have the Spirit of God living in you, then the Spirit will not be leading you to sin against Himself. But, there is one who's spirit teaches us unclean ways of a beastly nature and it ain't The Holy Spirit of God's.
