The conflict between flesh and spirit is the experience of all who begin the spiritual life by the influx of God's life-giving word. Sometimes the conflict is long, sometimes short. This is where the spiritual disciplines come in. The disciplines for the spiritual life, rightly understood, are time tested activities consciously undertaken by us as new men and women to allow our spirit ever-increasing sway over our embodied selves. They help by assisting the ways of God's Kingdom to take the place of the habits of sin embedded in our bodies.
