Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.“
Our spirit is not our problem. The born-again Christian receives a
new spirit at conversion, that is just like Jesus’ (1 Jn. 4:17) because
it is the Spirit of Jesus. Our born-again spirit is always willing to do
God’s will. It’s our flesh that is the problem.
The flesh, as Jesus describes it here, not only includes our physical
body but also describes our soul. God has given every believer
everything it takes to walk in victory, but “we have this treasure in
earthen vessels” (2 Cor. 4:7). That is saying that our spirit, where God
has deposited all of His power and glory, is locked inside our flesh.
That does not mean that we cannot tap into this divine source. As
much as we will renew our minds and act on the Word of God, we can
experience this divine flow through our physical bodies. However, just
as we must use our muscles to increase in strength, we must exercise
ourselves (soul, mind and body) unto godliness (1 Tim. 4:7-8).
Prayer is one important way of exercising ourselves unto godliness,
and is why Jesus admonished His disciples to watch and pray with Him.
