Mark 14:38
(38) Keep awake and watch and pray [constantly], that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Do you know why our Flesh is weak?
How many SEX are embedded in the pictures?
Flesh have received countless of attacks from we were born; No Wonders that our flesh are so weak and we usually subject more with our flesh. Don't believe it?
Have you ever woke up on a Sunday morning and felt so lazy to go to Church? That it is better to be inside the blanket and snuggle with your pillows? On the other hand, How often do you felt lazy to stand in front of the mirrors to style your hair, put on make up, yada yada yada on a weekend night?
What we can do about it? It is just similar to the Gym Junkies; nothing is instant like a packet of Indomie. everything requires training and exercise; to overcome the flesh, we have to train our spirituality.
Result:
Train spiritual -> leads to Strong Faith = Weapon to Counter the Flesh.

It is not easy to train our Spirituality. However, we have to start somewhere and at some point of time. Without it, we are like soldiers approaching war with no preparations and armours.
Do you remember the movie - The Last Samurai (Tom Cruise), when the new infantries with rifles came, without real preparations they fought against the Samurais (of course on paper, Rifles vs Samurais?); they suffered a heavy loss. This is us without any preaprations and equipments
Don't Believe?
How many of us have fallen to smoking, getting drunk, adultery, yada yada yada? And it all seemed so hard to avoid?
Believe it or not, because if we talk about training the spiritual side, we are starting from scratch but flesh have been trained for however old you all are. How many gossips do you receive each day? How many "SEX" words do you absorp in your life? How many advertisements of cigarettes and alcohol companies you view a day?
Subconsciously, Our flesh have been attacked numerously since we were born. It is no wonder or magic that we usually lose with our Flesh desires.
So let's train our Spiritual life and take over our Flesh desires.
How?
- Pick up your Bible, Quran, Sutras, Tipitaka, yada yada yada (Start Reading Them)
- Go to your Church, Mosque, Temple, yada yada yada and be involved
- Re-organize your life and priorities
- Re-organize the friends you mingle with
- Re-organize your activities
