@IronWolf@brighteon.social Colossians 2:23 unfortunately fasting has no effect on the flesh. God already disabled the flesh at Calvary advising us that we don't owe it anything Romans 8:12. But that we should render it dead, strip it off and be clothed with our new nature Colossians 3:5-11. This new nature is God's nature that we are invited to enjoy 2 Peter 1:3-4. The old nature remains with us until our bodies are changed 1 Corinthians 15:50-54.
