When the Flesh Fights Back

Every breakthrough has a battle attached to it.

The moment you decide to rise, your old nature resists. Comfort calls louder. Excuses grow stronger. The body wants ease while the spirit demands discipline.

That tension isn’t weakness — it’s transformation in progress.

The friction you feel is your soul shedding what no longer belongs. Growth doesn’t happen in peace; it happens in conflict.

Each time you refuse to bow to the mood, the temptation, or the fatigue, you train your spirit to lead your flesh. That’s how warriors are forged — not through calm, but through conflict endured with conviction.

The flesh always fights hardest before the spirit wins.

Reflection Question:

When the war between comfort and calling begins, which side do you strengthen first?
