06 Wisdom For Life Series | Continuing The Journey

Often, in our quest to be cured of our spiritual sickness and its troubling symptoms, we begin a journey toward transformation and freedom. Along the way, however, we encounter an enemy determined to hinder our desire for change, using suggestions, arguments, and pressures to thwart our efforts and turn us back. Sadly, we often fail to recognize this enemy clearly, and so we are unable to overcome him, win the battle and attain the freedom we seek. In this message, Pastor Jeffrey Walter emphasizes the need to seek deliverance from spiritual sickness (sin) rather than merely relief from its temporary symptoms. He reveals the state of man in sin and presents transformation as the true path to freedom from its captivity. He explains the nature of this journey and highlights the essential role of sound doctrine in guiding it. He describes the inner conflict with the “old man” as we embrace this journey, outlining its characteristics and machinations, and why overcoming him is primarily difficult. Ultimately, he urges us to remain steadfast in our pursuit of transformation, resist the pull of the old nature, and continue in obedience to the Word, assuring us of victory and true freedom if we do not turn back. This message will enlighten and equip you to overcome the enemy as you journey toward your promised freedom in God.

Psalm 55:12-13 (KJV) 12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. Matthew 10:22 (KJV) 22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
