Enemy in the Camp!

Enemy in the Camp!

8.28.15

"...but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in members."

Romans 7:23

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that he cannot do the things that ye would"

Galatians 5:17

An enemy in the camp causes much more damage than one outside! So when God begins a work in our lives, He always starts on the inside. And.... If we are going to live victorious, overcoming lives, WE must begin on the inside!

How many times as Christians have we heard that little voice inside our minds saying "don't do it" "do it".. And back and forth.

Paul said there will be "war in our members". We all have known the struggle of giving into temptation, falling, picking ourselves up, confessing, forsaking, and maybe doing it all over again. It's our old nature! It never dies! We can subdue it in our daily communion with the Father, but if we slack off, it begins to rear its ugly head again and the enemy in the camp starts creating havoc.

It's true--I'm my own worst enemy! At least THE ENEMY tries to keep it that way!

But, there's good news here! We have a power source!  "Thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ" (2Cor.2:14). We can do ALL things through Christ, even defeat the enemy in the camp!

May we seek His face before we face any other today!
