Day 2

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh."

— Gal 5:17




In every believer's heart there is a constant struggle between the old nature and the new. The old nature is very active, and loses no opportunity of plying all the weapons of its deadly armoury against newborn grace; while on the other hand, the new nature is ever on the watch to resist and destroy its enemy. Grace within us will employ prayer, and faith, and hope, and love, to cast out the evil; it takes unto it the "whole armour of God," and wrestles earnestly. These two opposing natures will never cease to struggle so long as we are in this world. The battle of "Christian" with "Apollyon" lasted three hours, but the battle of Christian with himself lasted all the way from the Wicket Gate in the river Jordan. The enemy is so securely entrenched within us that he can never be driven out while we are in this body: but although we are closely beset, and often in sore conflict, we have an Almighty helper, even Jesus, the Captain of our salvation, who is ever with us, and who assures us that we shall eventually come off more than conquerors through Him. With such assistance the new-born nature is more than a match for its foes. Are you fighting with the adversary to-day? Are Satan, the world, and the flesh, all against you? Be not discouraged nor dismayed. Fight on! For God Himself is with you; Jehovah Nissi is your banner, and Jehovah Rophi is the healer of your wounds. Fear not, you shall overcome, for who can defeat Omnipotence? Fight on, "looking unto Jesus"; and though long and stern be the conflict, sweet will be the victory, and glorious the promised reward.


"From strength to strength go on;

Wrestle, and fight, and pray,

Tread all the powers of darkness down,

And win the well-fought day."

From Spurgeon's Morning & Evening

From all the reading I have done in the Bible and using the many books that were originally in the Bible but later taken out; it is a fact that Our God knew us before we were born therefore, something not really considered is the fact that we were angels in His Kingdom.

Before anyone protests.....stop and think, "Were there any others mentioned before he created Adam & Eve?" There were only the various Angles and Yahuah.

Then Lucifer and 1/3 of the angels rebelled. Still, man was not created from the dust of the Earth. That only took place after the First Earth Age when Yahuah destroyed the Earth with a flood, because Satan & his angels literally destroyed Earth, where they lived. These are the days of Genesis 1, of which little is said in our present Bibles.

Then God made all things new and created Adam from the dust of the Earth and put into him His Breath of Life. Eve was made from the rib of Adam. They were placed in Paradise. But they made a choice to disobey which brought upon them the loss of their perfect Spiritual covering. They were driven out of Paradise and down to the Garden of Eden on earth. But God promised them that in the future He would make a way for them to return to Paradise.

The Way was made by The Only Begotten of the Father when He gave Himself as the Supreme Sacrifice. Therefore" He is the Way, The Truth and The Life".

There are those of the mindset that they no longer sin. If a person is still a human, he is not perfect. However, we do have an advocate that helps us in our life and we have One who is eager to forgive if repentance is of a sincere heart to try to live a Righteous life.

Until our death or Resurrection, we remain imperfect in body but our Spirits, if reconciled with Our Savior, will return to the One that made it.

The lesson spoken here makes that clear and also makes it known that we have help through The Holy Spirit.
