Become the oil and wine in today's society.
An elderly man described his inner struggles similar to two different dogs.
He said, “Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time.”
Someone asked the elderly man which dog wins.
He thought for a moment and replied, “The one I feed the most.”

That’s for sure! For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other] Good one, Beverley😄
Amen. That is why it is so important that we feed the spirit so that it will grow.
