The Lord Jesus Christ said you must deny yourself and also said that if anyone teaches other people to break his laws they will become to be known/called as the least in the kingdom of God that is if they make it in which some might because God is forgiving. In hindsight it is true that your faith must be rooted in the vine. There are certain things he said to enter that straight gate that apply. You are to obey the vine and to deny yourself. So is this a condition of salvation. Is this a condition of abusing grace and justifying it. It is not only to hold yourself to a high standard. I've seen and heard preachers online in session praying for people that they might be able to resist the flesh. You can take a driving course and go and drive an automobile and smash. I took a driving course once and was at first the only one that got the license out of the whole group. One person the teacher had to constantly slam on the brakes which he had on his side because this student he almost caused a collision. It is true that the spirit is at war with the flesh.
Galatians 5:17-26 King James Version
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other:so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Once you fully understand as a true Christian that we wrestle not against flesh and blood and that God's true kingdom is Holy and not Unholy as is the earth and its occupants then you should have discernment and understanding. But it is also true that you can overdo it and perhaps with some people you might lose faith and eventually give in and go back to the world. You might think this is too hard. The Apostle Paul he had a thorn in his side. He ended up doing things that he did not want to do and yet he is in heaven. But he pressed in and he prayed about it I am sure. He finished the good fight and he cared because he lectured the various groups that were having problems in the church himself. He knew when his time was up or therefore approaching. Here's what Timothy said..
2 Timothy 4:7-8 King James Version
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Here's the problem that even the angels that are Satan's that were kicked out of heaven along with him disobeyed God. Satan was prideful and wanted to extend his kingdom or his throne hi. Pride was found in him. God reserved the fallen angels onto chains of darkness ( judgment ) and even though we have a lamb that takes away the sins of the world as he paid the price himself in full are we listening and obeying the headmaster. You know the gospel says that those martyrs of Jesus went to their death and did not even love their own life. They stood for truth which is rejected but when it sets you free you are free indeed. You are free because the son has set you free. For example if you were to have a karate master teach you but he was a push back that did not follow the rules of karate then is this a good master. The biblical Lord Jesus Christ is perfect and he said in The Sermon on the Mount be perfect as your father is perfect in heaven. He did not say be in perfect. There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it is the way of death. Jesus said that people are pressing in and many will say to him they did many wonderful works but he doesn't know them. These people could amount in the Millions and there could be many different reasons. Perhaps many were trying to earn their own salvation or they had a false sense of what salvation really is. Perhaps others followed a counterfeit Messiah and they did not obey the true tenants of Christianity. In other words they were not in Christ but they were in the world. King Solomon understood the whole duty of man is to obey God. 12:12 a.m. February the 19 2022
God's word tells us that the devil has been sinning from the beginning and if we willfully sin then we are not Gods people. (Are we) The wages of sin is death. God's gift is everlasting life. Look what it says in the Book of Romans..
Romans 10:17 King James Version
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
So look what it says here as I talked about this..
Luke 16:16 King James Version (KJV)
“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
The Lord Jesus said he came to serve. He told the prostitute go and sin no more. Where are your accusers? He forgave her. As it is written our reasonable service is to keep the flesh which is our Temple holy because God is Holy. Why do you think certain people are in the land of the damned? They say it's a horrible place and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. You can't please God without faith. You have to put your faith in his Christ's finished work on the cross. This is true. The Flesh Wars against the spirit. God's word tells us to love nothing in this world. That means don't get attached to the things that the occupants of the world are getting attached to. All these utensils that are used to spider web and draw you into the clutches of the sinful world. I feel this is why God forbid images. Matthew 5:28 Your mind must be set on things of God. This is why you renew your mind and set it on things of God. The world is consistently drawing you in to its clutches and eventually you won't be able to separate the world. It is said that the true church pushes away the world just as true Christians do but counterfeit Christians suck in the world and live a very deceived life. The devil deceives the entire world. He is the god of this world and the prince of the air. You can't serve two masters because you will love one and despise the other. Are you a binge drinker that just needed that little high? How can you be a doer of the word of God if you don't even start to do it. If you renew your mind then you are capable because greater is he that is in you that is in the world. You can shrug it off and think you know what I like the flesh. I like coffee but coffee is also a drug and when you try to get off of it you have withdrawal symptoms. What you put in comes out. So you might think this is too hard. It is hard but it becomes easy. We tend to think that things are too hard. That's because we get use since birth to the Fallen World where it is consistently drawing us to itself. We have to care and press in. We can look for excuses. The man on the cross was in front of the real Jesus Christ and he repented nailed and bleeding on a cross. He knew he was going to die and he wasn't going to come off that cross. The other thief taunted the lord. God's word tells us we are not to put God to the test.
If you truly have the comforter which is the Holy Ghost and you have in you the one that is greater then he that is in the world then you have the capability to live a holy life which you are called as a Christian to do. If and when I said in my sermon video don't listen to preachers or pastors that tell you don't keep your flesh holy I am not judging them. I am trying to inspire you to go the extra mile. But you cannot do it out of fear alone. You have to obey God's word and God himself. You should care because the Messiah died for you on that cross. But it should come natural and not forced.
To conclude Jesus was very upset at the Pharisees because they set high standards but they themselves did not keep them or lift a finger to do them. He told the people he preached too that they sit in Moses seat so listen to them but don't do as they do because they are hypocrites. If we apply too much and we enclose it in what is called religion we will fail every time. It has to come natural. If you have bad company eventually you will pick up bad habits.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1 John 2 : 27
Well God's word tells us that he gave us teachers and preachers and people with different gifts. But it is the Holy Ghost who teaches you all things and if you are anointed you shall abide in him. The branches need to abide in the vine

Every man presseth into Gods kingdom
Will those training wheels ever come off?
