One of the times I read Romans 6:6 I accidentally said that our old self was crucified "in" him. The text says our old self was crucified "with" him. The other times I read it I said it correctly.

**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

At one point I refer to the "temptation to think and feel". I meant to say "temptation to think or feel something" (implying something contrary to the Word of God). Obviously, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with thinking and feeling. God Himself thinks and feels. Rather, the point is what we are thinking about and if our feelings are godly.

82. Do not despise the time in between

Today we continue our discussion about spiritual warfare and look at one particular title of the enemy's that reveals how he operates.

**CLARIFICATIONS**

I mentioned how the enemy tempted Jesus after Jesus had fasted forty days. Luke 4:1-2 says, "And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry." It's possible based on this passage that the enemy tempted Jesus not only at the end of the forty days, but also during the forty days. Nevertheless, it doesn't undermine, diminish, or change the point that the enemy struck at a moment of vulnerability.
