My response:
What you need are wisdom and understanding. You want to be more confident in what yourself? It’s awesome that you are not confident in yourself. What is there to celebrate about your fallen nature? What you should be confident in is Jesus Christ. You need to realize who and what you are in Him. You have a lack of confidence because you’re motioning your regenerated spirit to be pleased with a dead carcass (your fallen nature). You need to be in practice studying the scriptures and live in your divine spirit through the flesh (showing the fruits of God).
You can ask God for strength at times where you’re feeble because the flesh can be puffed up.
1. Do not give into its temptation (ex. Sexual desires)
2. Do not watch what you shouldn’t watch (ex. Family Guy and South Park).
3. Do not listen to the filth of this world (ex. Beyoncé CD’s and Jay-Z CD).
4. Do not hang out with worldly people (ex. Your giving demons an open the door to attach your spirit)
5. Do not exalt yourself (ex. I am better than everyone).
If you want your flesh to remain a certain level, you can’t feed it with all this gross spoilage.
Another way to decrease your flesh is by fasting and feeding your spirit. You should feed your spirit with prayer, reading the word, and be staying consecrated in Him.
If you are not doing any of these things above to tame your flesh, I hope you are repentant. Then you can ask God for external and internal strength, but I suggest you take away the filth of your life to (you need to do your part). If you are doing these things and you face difficulty showing fruits of God, it is necessary to ask for strength, but it is a sign you need to be in deep prayer and consecration. Suffering like this only happens occasionally to a believer because your strength and endurance are being tested by God.
