That's why Paul said I DIE DAILY.
Even Yeshua had to pray at the end of his ministry "Not as I will but as you will".
Nonetheless there are seasons when we may find victory much easier than at other seasons.
Bottom line is we are new creations in Christ. We can and must overcome sin.

This is one of the topics that we agree on for the most part.
I cannot see in scripture where we have to kill the flesh everyday. The passage which you are refering to where Paul says that he dies daily is not in reference to killing any fleshly desire or even to dying to his flesh daily rather in context he is speaking of being willing to die physically daily. I agree that we like Jesus may not want to feel the pain that following God bringsbut we like Him should also never desire to sin. I also agree that there are times the devil fights harder than at other times. You are correct as to the bottom line also. Like one older preacher once said it is more important to live holy than it is to know holiness doctrine.
