For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14
The flesh is anything not under the Holy Spirit’s influence Any part of us, and anything that we own that is not touched by the Holy Spirit, the Bible calls “flesh.” The nature of the flesh causes us to act independently of God. That independence opens doors to sin which eventually dominates the person and plunges him into slavery, guilt and condemnation. The flesh is the old nature, the old man, and everything that is not exposed to the light of the Holy Spirit.
What I want to clarify is that although we could be acting with the right intentions, if those acts were not inspired by Him, they are a work of the flesh. Even when we praise and worship, if done to impress someone, those prayers are also considered works of the flesh. God does not receive them! If the enemy discovers that the nature of sin is active within us, if he sees something in us that gives him legal access, he will be free to attack our lives

What is the challenge today? To walk in integrity before the presence of God, and to remind the prince of this world that he has no place in our lives. (Jn. 14:30).Would you like to know?
Let us pray together
Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I have sinned against heaven and against You. I apologize and I regret to have offended You. I confess with my mouth and believe with my heart that Jesus died and rose again to give me freedom. Now, in the name of Jesus, destroy the works of the flesh. His blood cleanses me and His Word transforms me. Today the Holy Spirit is upon me. I’m free, Christ did it!
