Spirit vs Flesh
Glory to God for His word..
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh. And that which is born of the Spirit is spirit"— John 3:6. It comes by birth as generated by a fallen begetter. Concerning this Flesh, we are told: it "cannot please God." (Rom. 8:8);it "profiteth nothing:" (John 6:63); there is in it "no good thing:" (Rom. 7:18).
This is a very good writing on the topic of Spirit versus flesh. It's directly to the point and if you want to understand the nature of man, this is it! I suggest a slow read... dwell upon what the writer is saying.. It's truth. Soak it in and let it speak to you. Enjoy!: http://www.bibleunderstanding.com/twonatures.htm

My Brother, This book of the two natures is wonderful! and alot of what is said I knew(because I've feed my spirit with GOD's food for the spirit(the Living word for GOD) I hunger for it(the(ONLY)Truth) I want you, and I to study this book(the two natures). And through this study(Searching(eating the word of GOD) all the scriptures mentioned in it),Will we nourish our spirit to the higher plane that we seek.For the writings of man cannot feed the spirit, only the word of GOD can.In Your entry today you say"this is why I still fail at times." It is the old nature that fails at times, and always will. Yet the new nature is the real you and is and was made perfect By GOD. Only by feeding the new nature(or spirit) can you reach the level in which you(and I) seek.
Your brother in Christ.
Jim.

I was just re-reading some comments. I really like what Jim stated: "Only by feeding the new nature, can you reach the level in which you and I seek".
That's just like the story of the 2 wolves battling within your head. When the grandson asked which wolf wins, the Cherokee? said "The one that you feed."
