If we live after the flesh, we will die

Dr. Joan Boney, Jesus Ministries ...

Our flesh brings ideas to our mind.  The Spirit of God who lives in us brings ideas to our mind.
 
Our flesh and the Spirit of God are contrary to each other, presenting opposite ideas.
 
We must choose to go in the way presented by the Spirit, keeping our flesh crucified by that Word given us by God by the Spirit.
 
This is the entire theme of the early verses of Romans 8.
 
Romans 8
 

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Our own flesh tries to get us to go in a way opposite to God's way.  This is always the goal of the flesh.  
 
We keep control by recognizing danger and deliberately going in a way opposite to the flesh, walking in that way shown us by the Spirit.
 
(Pray always, asking God to help you.)
 
Romans 13:15   But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (The Word), and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
 
(In the area where you are likely to be tempted, store up scriptures to help you and meditate day and night on these scriptures until they get strong enough in you to overcome your own flesh ... and pray, asking God for help!)
