Proverbs 25:28 "A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls."
Self control is a wall of defense and without it we lie open to attack. If you can not control your flesh then you are always vulnerable to attack. Satan appeals to our flesh to lead us away from God, your ability to say no to yourself is your greatest wall of defense. This is why the daily disciples of the Christian life are important in keeping our bodies, souls and spirits in submission to the Holy Spirit. Prayer, bible study, fasting and giving are daily habits that keep the walls of defense up against the enemy. As we learn to say "no" to our flesh and "yes" to the spirit we fortify our lives and position ourselves to succeed in every area of life.
