THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT

Text: Romans 7:19-23 “For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me”

THE FLESH:

When we speak of the flesh is the attitude that is earthly and carnal; the attitude that is against anything God (“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. ⁸ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God” Romans 8:6-8)

THE SPIRIT:

The spirit on the other hand, is the attitude and desire that causes us to seek God above our own desires and to live for God rather than ourselves

THE CONTENTION BETWEEN THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT:

Adam and Jesus: 1^st Corinthians 15:47-48 “The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven”

Ishmael and Isaac: Genesis 21:9 “But Sarah saw Ishmael—the son of Abraham and her Egyptian servant Hagar—making fun of her son, Isaac”

Moses and Joshua: Figuratively speaking Moses symbolizes the law, but Joshua represents faith in God; even his name means Jehovah saves.

Samson and Samuel: Samson and Samuel are both people with a promise, but one lost his destiny because of lack of self-restrain, while the other sustained his place as a Judge in Isreal because he (Samuel) stood by the commands of God

Saul and David: Saul and David are two characters that define many of us; Saul failed to trust in God and thereby lost his place as the King of Isreal, while David despite from his background as least in his family came to seat on the throne of Isreal because of his faith in God promise

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT:

The flesh is against God, the Spirit desires to please God

The flesh is earthly, the Spirit seek Heaven

The flesh cannot inherit Heaven, the Spirit will inherit Heaven

The flesh is moved by feeling (circumstances) the Spirit is led by faith (God’s promises)

The fruit of the flesh are contrast to the fruit of the Spirit

The works of the flesh will destroy you; the fruit of the Spirit will preserve you

DECLARING HEALING OVER THE LAND

Confession: Job 5:19-27 “From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you. In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes. You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals. For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth. You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. “We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself”

Thank You Lord for the land:

1. Ecclesiastes 9:4 “Anyone who is among the living has hope –even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!” Mighty God, we thank you for the land of Canada, and the world as a whole, we thank You for safety, protection, and divine provision
2. 1^st Timothy 2:1-2 “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” Romans 13:1 “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God” Heavenly Father, we thank You for this land and all in authority; we thank You for You are the One who has appointed them and You will cause them to do Your perfect will
3. Isaiah 45:19 “I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right” Mighty God, we thank You, for what You have spoken over Canada and Nations of the World and we know it is not in vain, but rather it will come to pass in Jesus name

Confessing the sins of the land:

1. 2^nd Chronicles 7:14 “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” Merciful God, we confess the sin of this land and we ask that You forgive us now and hear us in Jesus name
2. Revelation 6:9-10 “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Merciful Father, we ask that You forgive every error the land has committed that has brought death, sickness and judgment, we pray that the Blood of Jesus will speak better things over the Land (Hebrews 12:24 “to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel”) because of Your Saints in Jesus name
3. Leviticus 26:40 “But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors–their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies–then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay for their sin, I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land” Mighty God, we confess the sins of homosexuality, abortions, immorality and the likes and we ask that You remember Your covenant with the founding fathers of this land in Jesus name
4. Jeremiah 31:4 “I will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your timbrels and go out to dance with the joyful” Mighty God even as You have decreed rebuilding for this land, rebuild now, so we will dance to You in Jesus name
5. Zechariah 3:1 “Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him” Father, we confess every error or sin in that the enemy might want to use as a legal ground to bring judgement over us in Jesus name

Dealing with the horsemen and their horses

1. Revelation 5:1-5 “Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.² And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” ³ But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. ⁴ I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. ⁵ Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals”.

Listen, all you distant lands. Prepare for battle, and be shattered! Prepare for battle, and be shattered!”.

6. Revelation 6:5-6 “When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”. Mighty God, we rebuke the power of famine and ration in Canada; causing us to work and not have enough, or that is causing joblessness in Jesus name

Heavenly Father, compensate us for every goodness that the enemy has destroyed through recession, regression, death or in any manner and we declare that we receive a sevenfold restoration in Jesus name
10. Revelation 6:12-14 “I watched as he opened the sixth seal.
