One make a decision to believe God rather than his old way of thought- be renewed (or making new again) in the spirit ( litterally life force) of your mind - one no longer accepts the ideas of the old man which can only be input by natural means- sight, hearing, taste, touch ,smell- now we can began to receive spiritual revelation from God - His ways and truths are higher than ours- He has creative power and when He speaks it things come into being.As we walk in His revelation our mind is now free to think ,agree and believe as He does- renewed

The spirit recieves revelation form God's Spirit and your mind begans to believe- as your mind begans to believe your body naturally follows your new way of thinking- this is sanctifacation.

the ephsians have been taught for 3 years 6 hours a day prior to this letter

if the mind does not accept the ideas of the old man why do we still sin ... 1 john 1:8-10

counting your selves dead... romans 6

to be spiritual is a mental exercise of thinking of grace things that Christ says about us up in the heavenlies eph 1 ,

sometimes not true but God continues to say these things of grace romans 4:17

when one is dead to OSN
alive to Christ
They can recieve resurrection power to live the christian life 2 tim 2:1

Basically, the flesh is weak on it's own without God's spirit and us clinging to His word, DAILY!
