Many men struggle to grow spiritually, bc they're feeding the flesh
Starve the flesh (fasting, retaining your seed, dont get drunk/high etc), to feed the spirit
This is how you get close to the Lord, but men won't;
1) try fasting longer than a day
2) retain their seed longer than a month, even a week
3) think easy dopamine will bring them peace
"Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are contrary to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do".
(Galatians 5:16-17)
I refused to go my entire life without trying the above, to see for myself if this verse in Galatians rung true, and sure enough... yes.
few. but i wish everyone. π
