Romans 8:6-8

To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Our Spirit is meant to control us, not our flesh. Have you noticed that when we get into a situation and react in the flesh, it just makes the outcome worse? Peace is never maintained in anger. We make better decisions in peace than with internal strife. Fear doesn’t have faith and can’t move a mountain. A carnal mind doesn’t want what is right but what it can get right now.
