Mortal Combat

Did you ever wonder how sin functions? I mean, how does it develop within our being, our inner soul? How is it, that we end up doing the things that we said we'd never do?
These are fundamental questions we shall explore. As I'm sure you're fully aware, that we are in a rough and wild war with sin, we need to understand it (the battle), how the battle works? Where battle comes from? How it affects us?

Have you ever heard the expression, "This means war?"
Temptation may not sound like a very worthy opponent, but if you dig a little deeper, you'll soon realize that temptation is very real and extremely alive archenemy. As men and women of faith we must battle every single day this nemesis. Unfortunately, too many of us face each day with giant chinks, cracks in our body armor or no body armor at all, making our lives open and potentially unguarded in complete chaos.

In any battle, there are rules of engagement, strategies planning and cost These elements we'll refer to as our "battle plan" These fundamentals all require equal consideration. You can't focus on one or the others may suffer. Making the correct life choices around your battle plan will ensure minimal spiritual loss and minimal collateral damage of our faith walk.As in any war, one most consider the full consequences of one's decisions. We must be strong and hold firm our defensive position, in opposition to the numerous methods of temptations!

"Temptation" is a antagonist we must all battle until we are called home. It is a constant unwelcomed guest lurking everywhere, knocking on the front door of where you work and in the comfort of your home and at play. However, to prevail in this life long war and how to manage and overcome the ongoing temptations! Furthermore, achieve sustainable victory is explained, defined in God's word. "the Book of truth" Daniel 10:21:10 As a compass, gives crystal clear directions to a Ship's captain, during stormy seas, so too God's word is our compass to navigate successfully the waters of sin and temptation!

Yes, we will fail at times; and when we do, we can plunge into the infinite well of His mercy and compassion, whereby, being eternally grateful and get back up once again, in Christ!
Jesus has given us victory over the sin nature, but it's a victory that we have to learn how to overcome! How? By understanding that, Jesus erased the certificate of sin debt, with its obligations, that was against us and opposed to us, and has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the cross.
