John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
What is this power and what does it do? In part, it is the power to mortify the flesh.
I cross reference above scripture with Rom 8:13-14 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
So the power to kill the flesh and the deeds of it allows you to be filled with the Spirit which will lead you. Those ARE the sons of God. First comes the power then comes the Spirit. Remove flesh replace with Spirit!
