RESIDUE

You are a new creature in Me.  Old things have past away and behold all things have become new.
This is a truth that will help you have victory over your flesh.  My Father commanded My light to shine into the darkness of your heart to give you the knowledge of His glory as you behold My face.
However, you are still an earthen vessel with fleshly lusts.

Fleshly lusts are the residue of your old nature that will remain until you see Me face to face.  The only way My enemy can tempt you to sin is by appealing to one of your lusts - the lust of the flesh (satisfying  your five senses in an addictive, obsessive way), the lust of the eyes (greedy longings in your mind, fantasies, and vain images), and the lust of the pride of life (trusting in your own resources rather than trusting in Me).

I can give you the victory over the residue of your old nature whenever you take captive the tempting thoughts My enemy gives you and give those thoughts to Me.  You cannot overcome your flesh by using carnal weapons.  When you are tempted, speak these words out loud, "My righteousness is of Jesus Christ."  You now have My righteousness, and the weapons My enemy sends you will not prosper.
