  • Flesh or no Flesh?

    Garth Heckman

    The David Alliance

     

    Ephesians 6:12 For we do not Fight, Struggle battle wrestle (my words… grind, onslaught, clash, combat, rumble or harass) against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

     

    V. 12 we wrestle… the term for this was to the death, 

    no breaks, no rounds, no timeouts… you either gave up or died in the ring. 

     

    **As teenage boys: Fighting to the next song that came on…. Greg “Free Bird”

     

    We wrestle not against flesh and blood… 

         but wait.

    Flesh - our flesh is at war - but the instigator is the spiritual forces behind it. Paul tells us to sacrifice the flesh… to kill the old man. Rom. 6:6-23 tells us to kill the old man and live by the spirit. 

     

     

    Tactic #1 The lust of the flesh - we must kill the old man. 

    When I was a kid we had an evangelist say all my flesh wants is sleep, food, to be tickled and sex… I was shocked… that he knew exactly what I wanted ;-) 

     

     

    THE FLESH IS SO WEAK THAT IT IS OVERPOWERING! 

     

     

    SO WE HAVE LEARNED THAT BEFORE WE GO TO WAR WE MUST HAVE OUR RELATIONSHIPS IN ORDER AND….

     

    DEAL WITH THE FLESH

    Put away lying Ephesians 4:25. 

    Speak the truth with your neighbor Ephesians 4:25. Be angry and send not Ephesians 4:26. 

    Give no place to the devil Ephesians 4:27. 

    Let him who stole Steal No more Ephesians 4:28

    Let no corrupt communication come out of your mouth Ephesians 4:29 

    Grieve not the Holy Spirit Ephesians 4:30 

    Put all bitterness wrath anger clamor, evil, speaking and malice. Be put away from you Ephesians 4:31

     

     

    Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 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. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law- the flesh. 

     

    Stay in tune to the spirit… 

    **My wife grew up around men who were manipulative, deceptive, untrustworthy…. She can sniff them out in a heartbeat…. She was around it enough to know. 

    WHEN YOU SPEND ENOUGH TIME AROUND THE SPIRIT YOU CAN SMELL THE FLESH… AND QUICKY KILL IT.

    Blessing in Christ

    Experience of Salvation

    Growing in the knowledge and strength of Christ

    Christian conduct… Chapter 6 into 6:10

    THEN - Spiritual warfare.

     

    **much like the ten commandments> 

    The first four are between God and Man

    The last six are between man and man. 

     

     

    I COULD ASK: HOW IS YOUR WARFARE… BUT REALLY I SHOULD BE ASKING HOW ARE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS. 

     

     

     

    If your relationships aren’t in order, then your spiritual warfare tactics and fighting will be greatly hindered.

     

    Verse 10 starts out with therefore, be strong in the Lord. Meaning, you can’t be strong in the Lord if you have unhealthy relationships and

     

     

     

    Wives - scripture says submit, respect and make him feel desirable… by this act you are clearly under his authority. If you do not do this you step out of Gods design for your marriage and are no longer under Gods designed protection.

    Eph. 5:22-24

    The wife is to be under her husbands authority, ruler the head!

    Gk. = kefalay the loss of the head destroys the life

     

    Ladies when you axe the head of your marriage you choose invite the enemy to bring death in every area of your life. 

     

    LADIES: You have problems physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally… have you placed yourself under your husbands authority, and by doing so his protection which comes from God. 

     

     

    Wives respect your husband… not love. Why because women are the weaker sex… meaning they assume and associate Love with feelings. Men understand it to mean action. But Respect is an action to a women… you don’t have to like him, you don’t have to feel like it, you don’t have to want to but out of respect you will serve that person.

     

    RESPECT

    SUBMIT

    DESIRABLE

     

    1 Peter 3:7 women are the weaker sex…

    Weaker Gk = morally feeble… go by feelings more than whats right. Dad says the kid needs to be spanked… mom knows its right but can’t do it.

     

    Moved by your emotions easily… is good and bad. Spank your kids… Dad~!    Give them another chance - Mom

     

     

    Ladies, 

      - when you choose to submit to your husbands, 

      - when you choose to respect them, 

      - when you choose to make him feel desirable… those are all things God asks of us in worship to him - It crucifies your flesh and it keeps you directly under Gods perfectly provided protection for you. 

     

     

     

     

    Men are to: Eph. 5: 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

    25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.  

     

    We understand 3 things about Christ and the role he exemplifies for husbands:

     - He came only to the will of the father

      - He gave his life

       - He is over the church

     

    WHICH MEANS….

    Husbands you are to do only the will of the father

    You are to give your life for your wife

    You are over your wife.

     

    **Husbands if you are not walking in these your spiritual warfare is greatly hindered. 

     

    Love your wife in such a way that she is more like Christ, without spot or wrinkle or blemish like Jesus presents the church to the father. 

    Is your wife more like Jesus? 

    SUCCESSFUL WARFARE IS JEOPARDIZED BY YOUR POOR HUSBANDING.  

     

     

     

    Eph. 6:1 Children obey your parents

     

    Children - a descendant of… not by age, but by blood. 

    OBEY - to be willing to listen (like answering the door) and willing to obey.

     

    *The caveat here is that the Father and Mother are also living under the right roles. The Wife/Mom is submitted to the husband and the husband/Dad is Submitted to Christ. 

     

    **Children it has a promise… that it will go well with you and you will live long.

    “Well with you” GK is basically an exclamation point.

       How is your marriage? Answer: !!!!!

    How is your business? Answer: !!!!!

    How are your finances? Answer: !!!! 

     

     

    CRAZY…

    Parents submit to your kids…

     ** In the same way - its crazy for a Wife to not submit to her husband.

     ** In the same way it is crazy for a husband not to submit to God.

     ** In the same way it is crazy for a child not to obey their parents. 

     

     

    The ten greatest warrior clans in history:

    Top 10 Deadliest Warriors in History

    1. Mongols - Gingas Kahn 
  • Maori 
  • British SAS
  • Spartans
  • Ninjas
  • Gurkhas
  • Kamikaze Pilots
  • Knights
  • Samurai
  • The Immortals
  •  

    1. Maori - Not only defeated their enemies they ate them. Cannibalism - they would sing this song:

     

    You wanted to run away, didn’t you? 

    But my greenstone club overtook you! 

    And after you were cooked you were made food for me!

    And where is your father? He is cooked.

    And where is your brother? He is eaten.

    And where is your wife? There she sits; a wife for me.

    And where are your children? There they are, loads on their backs carrying food as my slaves.

     

    But there is even one more brutally fierce ferocious war machine that is relentless and merciless and destroys everything in its sight! 

    It is the family that has a Godly father submitted To Christ

    A Godly wife that is submitted to her husband

    And Godly children submitted to their parents…

    THEY.

    Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth?

     

     

    Back when the telegraph was the fastest means of long-distance

    communication, there was a story, perhaps just a legend, about a young man

    who applied for a job as a Morse code operator. Answering an ad in the

    newspaper, he went to the address that was listed. When he arrived, he

    entered a large, noisy office. In the background a telegraph clacked away. A

    sign on the receptionist's counter instructed job applicants to fill out a

    form and wait until they were summoned to enter the inner office. The young

    man completed his form and sat down with seven other waiting applicants.

    After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of

    the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked

    up, wondering what was going on. Why had this man been so bold? They

    muttered among themselves that they hadn't heard any summons yet. They took

    more than a little satisfaction in assuming the young man who went into the

    office would be reprimanded for his presumption and summarily disqualified

    for the job.

    Within a few minutes the young man emerged from the inner office escorted by

    the interviewer, who announced to the other applicants, "Gentlemen, thank

    you very much for coming, but the job has been filled by this young man."

    The other applicants began grumbling to each other, and then one spoke up,

    "Wait a minute--I don't understand. He was the last one to come in, and we

    never even got a chance to be interviewed. Yet he got the job. That's not

    fair."

    The employer responded, "All the time you've been sitting here, the

    telegraph has been ticking out the following message in Morse code: `If you

    understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.' None of you

    heard it or understood it. This young man did. So the job is his."

    Our livelihood, indeed our life, depends upon our ability to discern the

    meaning of these words: "You are my child, whom I love; with you I am well

    pleased."

     

     

    The Three BattleQrounds

    AUTHOR: Francis Frangipane

    PAGE: 55

    The Spirit will speak in dreams, visions and prophetic words, but much of what will be revealed will actually come through our capacity to perceive correctly. The Scripture tells us that Jesus perceived the thoughts of men "in His Spirit." So also with us, if we will move in divine discernment, our view of life must be purged of human thoughts and reactions. The beginning of true discernment will not come until we crucify our instincts to judge.

     

    Eps. 4:23

    Renew the spirit of your mind…

    We covered this a few episodes back, but knowing is different than understanding. I can memorize a book on brain surgery… but do you want me to crack open your skull and take a shot at it? 

     

    I had a woman in my church who helps with our deliverance ministry… she had a dream about me this past week - it was powerful in the sense that it proved to me that God knew exactly where im at and what im going through. It breathed fresh wind and fire into my body soul and Spirit.

     

    She did not know what it meant… but I knew, She did not know who it was about… but I knew, She did know how badly I needed to hear it, but I did. I HAD NO IDEA THE DREAM WAS COMING… BUT GOD KNEW I NEEDED IT…

    But what if did not have the spiritual senses to know and understand it. 

    What if there are things all around us that we cant pick up on… well there is because we don’t live as physical bodies with a spirit… we live as spirits in physical bodies… in a spiritual world.
