Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotional, Spiritual War Within Us

Do we find ourselves to be at war within? Are we in the midst of a battle between our mind and our body, between the weakness of our flesh that is so often reluctant to kneel before God, and our spirit which actually worships Him? We never have to look far as we seek to understand if there truly is both a physical and a spiritual world, because we live with one foot in each, and this tenuous stance threatens constantly to destroy us as our spirit works to tame the man of flesh who walks towards sin.

Here he finds advantage against our physical body, and breaches the walls of our spirituality.
