Carlos is correct. “....they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”v. 8 But please don’t overlook verse 9..”But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.” <br><br>If you are still carrying around flesh you will have these spiritual battles throughout your life. Look over in Chapter 7---Paul talked about the struggle that we all have to one degree or another. I faintly remember a quote from a great 19th century author- -“Hannah Whithall Smith” and I think it was in her book “The Christians Secret to a Happy Life” and it went something like “...the closer we get to our Lord the more we see his Holiness and the more it reveals our utter sinfulness”(not verbatim)<br><br>It seems to me from reading your posts that you are experiencing “Growing Pains”. These are good!<br><br>Dave<br>
