Sensual Malaria

"The truth must sanctify the whole man-his mind, his thought, his heart, his strength. His vital powers will not be consumed upon his own lustful practices. These must be overcome, or they will overcome him. Sanctification-how many understand its full meaning? The mind is befogged by sensual malaria. The thoughts need purifying. What might not men & women have been had they realized that the treatment of the body has everything to do with the vigor and purity of the mind and heart." 7th Day Adventist Bible Commnetary vol. 7,p909 E.G.W.
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. ------------------

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery,
fornication,
uncleanness,
lasciviousness,
Idolatry,
witchcraft,
hatred,
variance,
emulations,
wrath,
strife,
seditions,
heresies,
Envyings,
murders,
drunkenness,
revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:9,17,19-21
