we are 3 beings in one body, made in the image of God. We have a spirit, a mind, and a body. The flesh is the body and your body will speak to your mind. Don't think so, try fasting. It is the body (flesh) that get's addicted to drugs or alcohol.
In our mind/soul we make the decision which one we follow. The flesh or the spirit, we instinctively follow the flesh. Because that is what we can touch taste and feel and see. Because of the original sin or the sin nature we are spiritually dead. Until the word of the Lord comes (Jesus) and quickens our spirit and is reinforced with Holy Spirit as long as our faith is placed in the work of the cross and nothing else.
