A conflicting war of the old nature and the new nature that lives inside my heart!!!

Image result for romans 7:14-17

(Roman 7: 14-17) states for we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. As I study this scripture I find that Apostle Paul, found himself so very far short of perfection. He appears to be carnal: like that of a man who is sold against his will to a much hated master, from whom he cannot set himself free. As a Christian we all unwillingly serves this hated master, but yet cannot shake off the galling chains, until our powerful and gracious Father from above, rescues us. The apostle having cleared the law from the charge of being the cause either of sin or death, and taken the blame to himself, proceeds to give an account of the struggle and combat he found in himself between the flesh and spirit; "that which I do, I allow not. So in other words there are two spirits living inside our bodies the old nature and the new nature. The old saying: “old habits are hard to break”  is very true and as long as we live we are going to have a constant war between the two...and it will not stop until the body goes. So to all believers’ if it’s something that is in your old nature that you can’t control it just...means that you have not gotten the victory yet. Just know that our spiritual nature needs to stay in line with the word of our King. Remember for as long as we live there will be a conflicting war of the old nature and the new nature that lives inside our bodies. Amen
