Get rid of the weight of your flesh

Don’t let your flesh stop you.

God created us in his own image, but he knew we would need Jesus.

Our flesh wants everything except God, but we can’t give our flesh what it wants.

God has given us a mind to serve him and to live right daily, which means we have to deny our flesh daily. Everyone has to deal with their flesh, but we have God, Jesus, the Word, our leader, and one another to help each other on this journey we are on.

We have to want help and decide for ourselves that we are not partaking in sin. There's a major difference when you’re willingly choosing to sin against God versus sinning out of ignorance (not knowing better or the truth). God has forgiveness and salvation for us and redemption, but we have to let our flesh and sin go. Like my leader told us: our flesh goes back to the dirt, and our soul is the one who will go to heaven or hell. So, our flesh wants everything that’s not like God because it doesn’t have to burn forever.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”
‭‭-Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬
