Congratulations!
Glory to God.
We made it to ... DAY 7.
If you joined us...
You have just won the battle against the greatest enemy known to man.
What's that, you
ask.
No, it is NOT the devil (he is already defeated).
It is YOUR flesh.
"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." - Gal 5:17
The flesh is such a powerful enemy even apostle Paul lamented:
==
For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
But I
see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am!
Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.- Rom 7:19-25
==
His solution to this problem of the flesh being too strong was to bring the flesh under
subjection.
Through spiritual exercises like this one.
No wonder an Eagle once wrote excitedly:
==
"This morning the Spirit has spoken to me that my greatest testimony is overcoming my body / carnal desires!
During this journey, I went for work for 4 days in a Five Star hotel and I didn't break my fast. I held on taking water and sugarless fresh juice.
I have overcome my bodily desires! That's my greatest testimony. My God is good, I now know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!"
==
She is 100 percent correct.
She is rejoicing ... and so should you.
Praise the LORD.
