How does one put the flesh to death by the Holy Spirit ? Should it be obvious to you how?

Because we are sinners,we are imperfect people.God's holy
spirit will be among us,if we continue to do what is right,and flee from temptations.Sin imbeded in us so that is why we continue to sin,ever since Adam and Eve ate from the piece of fruit in the garden of Eden.God told Adam and Eve that if they ate from the knowledge tree of good and bad,these people would positively die.They chose to disobey god and so they paid with their life.God allowed Adam and Eve to to pro-create life,for the simple fact that Adam and Eve defied god,they're offspring and later generations will have to pay for they're defiance.But they're is hope,if we continue to learn from Jesus examples,along with his father Jehovah,and believe that Jesus is our savior,we will have ever lasting life in paradise.Satan questioned gods authority over mankind,and the angels and the heavens.God got mad and threw
Satan out of the heavens and into the vasinity of the earth.After god created Adam and Eve Satan told god that humans could live
with out his guidance.God build the knowledge tree of good and bad as a test to see if humans would listen to god.God said that Adam and Eve could eat from every tree,except the knowledge tree of good and bad,and if they did they would die.Satan lied to Eve and told her that she would not die if she ate from that tree,and that she would "know"more than god and know right from wrong.Adam and Eve's sin is the reason is the reason why the world is messed up.But if we call up upon god's name like I mentioned before and continue the preaching work,and continue to flee from see,god will make our paths straight with his holy spirit,and in the name of his loving son Jesus Christ,Amen.

As Tebone has said we have our free will. Ask yourself if you make all the right decisions. I don't know of anyone who does. To put the flesh to death with the Holy Spirit is a term used to confess our sin's and repent. Repenting is turning away from our sin's and doing what is right. Easy said, but not easily done. It is obvious but our self will gets in the way. Ask yourself if you always have perfect thought's. If you say yes, I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you.

The sinful reign on your life is put to death and its ability to send you to hell once becoming a believer, but the sinful nature remains because we are still in this body. Just because we have the Holy Spirit does not mean we are perfect. That is why the Scriptures plead with us so many times to avoid sin and not be part of the world, because we can be sucked right back into the grave!
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. -Romans 12:9
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. -2 Corinthians 10:5
Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. -James 4:4
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. -1 Corinthians 10:21

The Holy Spirit is a keeper which means if you don't want to sin GOD will always make a way for you to escape that sin its your choice if you take the way out or give in to your flesh....
Flesh is nasty it wants what it wants when it wants it and it does not care who or what it hurts. Also you have to have a renewed mine you can not expect not to sin if you have not changed your way of thinking and who you hang around the places that you go.
When you except Christ everything change but, you still always will have you free will to sin or not to sin

We have free will. Once you know the Holy Spirit though it transforms your inner being to KNOW Gods voice ....Meditate on all things righteous, pure, patient, kind...etc. Being pure is a discipline not a supernatural possession of your body.
Humans are not perfect, we all sin, that's why we can't get to heaven by deeds alone. Yes we are forgiven, but there are ways of living that are beneficial. These beneficial ways are easy to recognize when you have the Holy Spirit in your heart.

The Holy Spirit is always there within us, but we are ignoring Its' Presence! In time, every soul will recognize this and stop their sinning. But we can only learn through time and experience. God and Creation can only be positive in nature, otherwise the sun would cease to rise and all on Earth would wither and die. Hope springs eternal, as does the love of God for all of Creation. We sin out of ignorance, but through time, we all will ascend to the Truth and realize the futility and error of sin. We waste a lot of our precious time with negative thoughts and acts, but the power of life and God and spirit will always prevail for us all. We each can only arrive at self-realization of universal truths at our own rates. But we'll all achieve purity of spirit, which once attained, will be an eternal state of being, never to be compromised by worldly misconceptions of God and Truth.

You know that funny feeling you get when your getting ready to do something wrong and you know it's wrong . That's a good bet. that the Holy spirit is try too tell you do not do it! But the Holy Spirit will by no means violate your free will to choose between right and wrong.

When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you have no desire to sin. Temptation still comes, but you will not be tempted. Some believe that we sin every day because of our nature,but when you are filled with the Spirit of God, you will detest sin, as He does!

the Holy Spirit does not turn us into robots. It just gives us the power to stand against sin if we choose to.
have a nice day.

The truth is because they have not been truly "born again". The way the evangelist are saying it is wrong.
IT is a literally rebirth. Read it in the Bible.
TO be born again means when your flesh is changed to SPIRIT in the 2nd coming of Jesus.
Right now you are only in "conception" phase.
Next.......
