Listen to the still small voice in your heart, and practice doing things that are hard for your flesh to do. The spirit of God speaks to our hearts in quiet ways asking us to do things that our flesh desperately does not want to do. Begin obeying the spirit of Christ living in you, and you will see a change. You will be an overcomer. Not by any works of your flesh but because you are exercising the mind of Christ in you.

Right because the Bible says if you walk in the Spirit, aka obey the voice of God and what He tells you, then you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. So is willful sin disobeying that small still voice then?
