The Battle Within

We are in a battle with the sin nature. Little by little, the Holy Spirit is changing us. A Christian who is not eagerly seeking the Lordship of Jesus Christ over their life and using the weapons (the armor of God) He has provided is just waiting for shame to happen. Today we give you hope on how to win the battle within! In 2 Samuel chapter 2 with the account of Ashahel, we see the picture of the new beginning in the Christian’s life. When we first come to Christ, the battle is just beginning. We will all have to engage in battle and struggle with sin until the day we die. With King Saul representing our sinful nature, the best we can do is make "men of shame" (Ish-bosheth) king of our lives. It's an illustration of "when you let the sinful nature rule, it can only ever bring shame". We also examine the locations of the famous battle between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel with the Pool of Gibeon, the Hill of Ammah, the cities of Hebron, and Ziklag and the biblical characters, Abner, Asahel, King David, King Saul, and King Ish-bosheth. Scriptures Studied: 2 Samuel 2 ; 2 Samuel 3:1 ; Matthew 4:4 ; Romans 7:23 ; Romans 7:24 ; Genesis 1 ; Proverbs 20:21 ; Exodus 23:28-30 ; 2 Corinthians 3:18 ; Galatians 5:25 ; Hebrews 10:25 ; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ; Psalm 103:14 ; Proverbs 24:16 ; Matthew 28:20 ; Hebrews 12:2 : Deuteronomy 31:6-8 ; Philippians 1:6 The solution to our struggle with sin is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection, provides for us the Holy Spirit. He has provided us with the weapons of weekly Sabbath worship, daily spiritual nourishment, regular community, and annual detachment from the world.
