The Battle Within

6/20/2017

1 Comment

 
As children of God, the Old nature no longer fosters our identity; it has no authority over that which now belongs to Christ, and yet Satan seeks to export its illegitimate claims, behaviors, and deadness through the flesh, its primary vehicle of choice. He seeks to carry on through one’s thoughts, words, and actions, to transport the child of God away from relational obedience and intimacy with his or her Father and from others born in Christ in the Spirit. 
​
1 Peter 2:11-12
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
 
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
 
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
 
Romans 13:12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Satan does come as a thief in the night. That is why we desperately need to have divine discernment. The battle is won only with Jesus as the head. When we team up with Jesus in all things He will reveal the battle plan.
