The flesh can be overwhelmed by desire. Great for instance. You have a big dinner. You are really already full. The taste of the food was so good though, that even after you know that you are already full, you still want to finish what is on your plate. Then let's not go on about if the dessert tray is put in front of you. LOL.
The urge to satisfy our body and what it really wants to do has put a lot of folks in trouble. A man sees another woman other than his wife. A girl sees a boy and is infactuated by his body. A co-worker accidentally brushes up against you or you catch the scent of a perfume or colonge. All these can lead to us not only thinking the wrong thing but doing it. When we DO it, we have done it with our bodies, our flesh.
Hope that helped.
God Bless you and guide you into His Truth

The New Testament varies in exactly what it means by the the word flesh. Sometimes the word soma (the physical body) is translated as flesh as well as the word sarx (the physical body and soul). The whole person (body, soul and spirit.) is considered to be born in, and steeped in sin (Romans 3:9;5:12; Ephesians 2:1).

How sad that you live your life seeing evil and that you believe in the devil.
This body, this flesh, is our vehicle that we are using to have a human experience. We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
Humans make negative choices, cruel choices, deadly choices. They make the choices of positive or negative. It is very easy, isn;t it to blame everything on a somebody or a something.
Try looking at the world in a different way. See the beauty not the ugliness. Look at the amazing people around us.
See nature in all its glory. Animals, birds, etc.
Change the word "evil" around and what do you get LIVE.
Live a good life and leave the negativity out of your head.
Then the "devil" will become "lived" and "evil" will become "live" Live your life and give thanks for being alive.

i'm Legend is a 1954 technology fiction novel via Richard Matheson. It became into made right into a action picture stated as "The Omega guy", "The final guy on earth", "i'm Omega", and now "i'm Legend". The action picture "the international, the Flesh, and the devil is comparable even however that isn't any longer based off of i'm Legend via Richard Matheson. that's certainly based off of two products. a singular "The pink Cloud" and the tale "end of the international".

'The flesh' refers to our childish lusts. The Bible says, 'Walk in the spirit, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the FLESH. When we step out of the spirit and start serving our worldly appetites, we are living in the flesh. This is what we would call a 'carnal christian'. A carnal christian allows his/her life to be dictated by the sinful nature (flesh), whereas a christian walking in the spirit allows his/her life to be governed by the Spirit, or the Word of God.

Please read First John 2:15-17. The flesh is not just the body in which we live, but also--more importantly--the natural person inside that has been separated from God. Please also read Romans 7 where Paul describes the struggle he faced, wanting to live for God but knowing the old nature inside really didn't want to.

It's the "sin nature" you are born with.
