*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*FLESH AND BLOOD (5)*
*Scripture Treasure.*
Eph 6:12 *For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.*
*lnsight and Highlight.*
We must fight the flesh and blood daily.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
Flesh and blood are composed in the human body. They are mere human embodiment and have the power of human instincts and survival. They become a source of mere human power without God in control of them.
When God is not in control over our flesh and blood, evil powers are present and become more prominent in their activities more within the body.
There are principalities and power, and we must not be ignorant of their activities. They are devil's agents in spirits and work as spirits dwelling in physical bodies.
They influence thought processes and minds. Their influences of evil through forces of darkness.
When principalities and power take control of the flesh and blood, the individual is in captivity.
Such people are in bondage and are subject to the attacks of the spirits of wickedness.
Their bodies of flesh and blood become a scene and a battle ground of conflict.
When the Christian is at war with such a captive, his spiritual warfare and struggle will no longer be a struggle with the flesh and blood of the captive but a war with unseen spiritual powers of evil.
These unseen forces rule over flesh and blood in an organized hierarchy of evil.
If we are unable to put our flesh and blood into subjection, principalities and powers will rule over us to enslave it.
Though flesh and blood are common to us all, only those who have not put them under subjection or rule over them open the door for Satan to take over them for his own use.
These captives in the body of flesh and blood, which are home of the devil and his servants in darkness, suffer terror, strife, and all misery in return.
When the devil takes over their flesh and blood, they are in darkness. They can not discern spiritual things. Their eyes are darkened.
We, however, who have put our bodies (flesh and blood) under subjection are children of the Light. We see the Light, and we are the light.
Principalities and powers are looking for flesh and blood they will make servants.
Do not allow Satan to make your body his home.
Do you harbor principalities and powers?
If you do, your body becomes his home. If you do, your body of flesh and blood has become the field of battle.
Be determined not to harbor principalities and powers in your flesh and blood.
Accept Jesus right now. His hands stretched on the cross are open arms to receive you.
*Remorse corner.*
Do not be a subject of spiritual attacks .
If you fail to put your body under subjection, you will be subject to
the attacks of the spirits of wickedness.
*Call to Word action.*
1 Cor 9:27 *But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.*
*The Christian clarion duty.*
You are a child of the Light.
Strive every day to keep your body under subjection.
*Prayer.*
Lord, do not let principalities and powers have a place in my flesh and blood in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day today.
God bless you.
