Even when a person is born of God, the daily battle against the works of our flesh never ends; it is an ongoing daily battle. But it is a battle we can overcome. This verse says that by the Spirit we must put to death the works of the flesh. Meaning, the desires of the flesh don’t disappear once you receive the Holy Spirit. They will still exist, but you are equipped to overcome each one of them permanently. So why are there so many people who fall from the faith? If they are equipped to overcome the flesh and they still fall, there can only be one explanation: it was their choice to fall. Ensure this doesn’t happen with you.

Spiritual Cleansing – Desires of the Flesh 

As long as we’re alive, we will always be in a daily battle with the desires of our flesh. Different people struggle with different things, depending on the tendencies they’ve had all their life. Do you know what the inclinations of your flesh are? Make a list of the things you struggle with, declare war against those things, and determine you will overcome each one of them.
