As Christians, we are called to exercise our faith and to "walk in the Spirit." The Spirit that lives within us is at war with the flesh. The New Nature is opposed to the Old Nature. As a result, we have to make a decision every day whether we are going to flex the muscles of our flesh, or flex the muscles of our faith. In this time of Consecration, it is time to flex the muscles of your spirit. This will have a direct effect on the power of the flesh. Paul said that his "old man was crucified with Christ."

Therefore he could exhort us to consider ourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus!
