Faith Believers,
Galatians 5:19–21 clearly states the deeds of the flesh: “Immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealously, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these.”
Many of these deeds are being categorized as demons. We will never know victory over these deeds until we confess to such sins.
Immorality and impurity are choices that people make. satan is ultimately the seducer, however we are the ones who makes the choice. We will either choose to yield to the Holy Spirit and crucify the lusts of the flesh; or choose to yield to the deeds of the flesh. We will have to make that choice for as long as we dwell in this mortal body, on this sin-cursed earth.

That is why prayer is very important.
- Prayer enables us to put on the whole armor of GOD and make no room for the deeds of the flesh.
- Prayer enables the believer to prepare for the battle that will take place as he goes into a world that is contrary to the nature of GOD.
- Prayer brings the follower of Christ under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
- And prayer gives us confidence in the truth of the apostle Paul’s statement, “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh - Galatians 5:16.

Holy Father,
Holy Father,
My spirit is weak and the desires of my flesh can often get the best of me. Forgive me for my weaknesses and fill me with the strength of your Son, Jesus Christ, who was tempted but did not fall into sin.
Help me to continually choose to crucify my selfish desires and to keep my eyes fixed upon the purity and holiness of Your Heart.
Amen

Amen
