SEE the Light!
John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

We are, our own enemy. We are born "carnal" with an earthy life,
but but hold within us a "spirit" that has eternal life.
The bridge between our Carnal and Spiritual being is our Mind. This creates a BALANCE!
Genesis 2:7
7 the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
We are a "body" but we are also a "spirit" ....
OUR mind (thoughts).... is what connects (like a bridge) our Body and our Spirit. OUR WILL (comes out of our thoughts) is our choice to create the Harmony between our Spirit and our Body or choose (yes, it's our choice) disharmony.
EVERY decision we make is a product of our thoughts.
EVERY decision we make is rooted in our desires.
EVERY desire we have comes from our heart
Our heart is the center of our home (body) it is our life...
When what our body wants something that our spirit knows is wrong than we are divided. This is when our mind (our "will") has to make the decision. Do we follow the desire of our body... or the wisdom of the spirit... or
There is no "or". WE make a decision every moment of our day to
act on what our BODY say's it desires or or Spirit say's it desires.
Harmony in our home (inside us) is when our Body and Spirit sing the same song of desire.
It is our MIND - "thoughts" that conduct
the harmony between our Body and our Spirit.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Ok, let's see if I have this ...
We are created by God with a Body and a Spirit...
Our MIND is the Master conductor that creates the
harmony of our
body and spirit
The battle then is in our mind, in our thoughts....
