Set your mind on the Spirit (Rom. 8:5-6). Remember that evil thoughts and imaginations feed the lusts of the flesh, and without these, such lusts are almost powerless. Wherever you are, start disciplining the mind on many levels knowing that God sees you knowing your thoughts, and let the love of Christ compel you through His death (2 Cor. 5:14-17, cf. Col. 3:1-6ff). You must set your mind on the Spirit to be spiritually aware above the lusts of the flesh. “[Y]ou must put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,” (Eph. 4:22-23). Romans 8:5-6 states, “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
