"Those who live according to their sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their mind set on what the Spirit desires." Rom. 8:5
Our flesh will be tempted.
What results when temptations assail you?
Here is the answer to those who truly desire to know the "spiritual state of their soul"
The power to escape the snare of Satan is God's gift; His indwelling Holy Spirit.
Jesus was tempted in ALL points, just as we.
But He overcame because He lived His human,fleshly life by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
In Gethsemane He sweat great drops of blood because the Temper was ferocious, exactly as when He was on the mountain alone with him right after His baptism. TEMPTED IN ALL POINTS, just as we, Yet, without sin, because His mind was set to honor God.
This is no secret. It is the truth revealed to all who desire to live the victorious life of Christ.
"....be filled with the Spirit." Eph. 5:18a
