God doesn’t remove fleshly influence.
He develops obedience in the heart.
Every child that God receives
Gets discipline from the start.
With the help of the Holy Spirit,
The deeds of the flesh are put to death.
We obey the words of God.
We are strengthened with each breath.
As many as are led by the Spirit of God
They are God’s sons indeed.
They have the mind of Christ.
The flesh they do not heed.
The holy life is continuous.
It is Jesus in our hearts.
He will prevail in every trial
He completes what he starts.
“He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”
Philippians 1:6 NKJV
“I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.”

“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.”

Romans 8:28 NKJV
“It is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
