Starve the flesh

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Rom. 13:14

To put on the Lord Jesus Christ is to assume His Godly character which implies living for the same end for which He lived.

But I never fully understood how to “make no provision for the flesh” until now. To make no provision for the flesh is to starve the flesh. Whatever temptation we face, we must force this sinful flesh to starve. When we start feeding this rottenness, it usually starts with just a little portion, which then quickly turns into a bigger one. That’s when the devil’s got us right where he wants us – Egypt.

Make no provision for the flesh = do not feed the flesh.

Some sound advice from the apostle Paul.
