Prison of Flesh

25 years of life and I realize that there is no escape from this fleshy prison while I live.
It cages my spirit man and tries to smother him until he's weak and ineffective.
My spirit screams for it's freedom as it scratches and claws at the walls of this suffocating cell.
Then I hear a voice whisper.....WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS THERE IS FREEDOM
My spirit roars and the bars of the cage quiver in fear.
Every bone in my body is set ablaze with the FIRE of the LORD.
My spirit has escaped the Prison of Flesh.

In my walk I know I must die to my flesh daily, because daily, I'm surrounded by it's filth.
In the Word, after the HOLY SPIRIT descended on Christ he went straight into the wilderness.
He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, then he bested the evil one. He conquered his flesh and did not let it conquer him. Ruling over flesh is possible and the key is prayer and fasting. My flesh has tortured me and I finally found a way to torture it back.

Then I ask myself, Is a day of praying and fasting suitable for my situation? NO!
Then I ask another question, How did Jesus do it? 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS
My spirit has been at war with my flesh since day one, but if I can get the upper hand in this war I'll take it. If praying and fasting is the tool used to put my flesh back in check and under HIS authority, then this man's gotta do what THEE MAN had to do.

QUESTION: Have you died to your flesh lately?
