Get the appJoshua - VS the Fleshનમૂનો
Jesus followers have three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the deceiver.
In a previous study, we learned how Joshua overcame Jericho - the world. This week we will read God’s battle plan to overcome Ai - the flesh.
We cannot overcome the world by fighting. We overcome the world by loving as Jesus loved - by laying down our lives and worshiping God in faith. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
The world is a difficult foe. It is a fortified wall around us. The flesh is even more dangerous because it is entrenched inside of us. As we gain victory over the foe outside, we begin to understand the enemy within. The battle at Ai shows us God’s method for defeating the flesh.
Many Jesus followers rejoice at Jericho. They celebrate that the world is overcome, then they are defeated at Ai - they are frustrated by the flesh within.
Challenge:
- Memorize Romans 8:13
- What victories have you experienced over the world?
- Find an accountability partner and join each other on the battlefield through prayer.
This plan is designed to be a standalone plan. It is also part 6 of a 10-part series.
About this Plan
We have three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the deceiver. The world is like Jericho - a fortified wall around us. The flesh is entrenched inside of us. As we see victory over the foe outside, we begin to understand the enemy within. This in-depth stand-alone plan is also part 6 of a 10 part series.
