Due to human nature’s hypersensitivity to emotions it is difficult to deny the desires of the flesh.
The conflict between spirit and flesh has claimed lives... even worse, lives lost for all eternity.
How many love relationships have ended in death? …in suicide? How many lives? Why?
Simply because sensitive people yield to
the whims of their feelings. They become hostages to the voice of their
desperately wicked, deceitful heart. Its hold is so strong that they do
not even stop to reason for a moment.
They think that their moments of deep anguish will never end. They think that a lost “love” signals the end of their lives.
They think that their moments of deep anguish will never end. They think that a lost “love” signals the end of their lives.
But since time is the master of reason,
in time they will realise how foolish they were; they were troubled and
lost precious time.
While they were melting in tears, the devil couldn’t stop laughing...
Consequently, the great need to have
Adam’s nature transformed into a Godly nature, from a living soul to a
life-giving spirit, from emotion to reason, from born of the flesh to
born of the Spirit.
In this way, Christians will no longer
be at a disadvantage in the battle against Satan, or against sin.
Because the devil is spirit, he takes advantage of those who live in the
flesh. But when Christians are spirit, and even better, when they are
spirit and have the DNA of the Holy Spirit, then it’s over for the devil
and for all of hell.
There is not even the slightest chance
of losing. Those who are born of the Spirit are destined to overcome all
things! They overcome the devil, love life problems, addictions, pride,
sin and the world. In other words they overcome everything because they
are children of God and have His power within them.
It is exactly what the apostle Paul teaches:
For whatever is born of God (is spirit) overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1John 5.4
We know that whoever is born of God (is spirit) does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.1john5.18
This is like totally awesome, as surfers would say...
