How do we defeat the flesh?
We follow God’s method set out in Joshua Chapter 7:
- Pray
- Confess
- Destroy
We pray that the Holy Spirit reveals our hidden sin to us.
We give God the glory, and confess our sin.
By the Spirit, we put our sinful deeds to death.
We are like a precious metal buried deep in the earth. God draws us out of the darkness and into the light. God baptizes us in the crucible of the Holy Spirit to reveal and draw out our hidden sin. We confess our dross and leave it behind in a continuous purification process.
Similarly, Joshua drew out the hidden warriors of Ai so that the city could be captured and defeated.
Challenge:
- Memorize Romans 8:13
- Describe a time when God drew out your impurity and you confessed it.
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.
