When God began working in my heart to cleanse me from my sin, He taught me battle strategies to overcome my flesh.
As we come to the lessons on warring against the flesh, we will be discussing very practical ways to fight the battle against our flesh. Washing at the cross is extremely important, Walking by the Spirit is indispensable, but whether or not we win this battle and get free depends on how well we War against the flesh!

The Sword of the Spirit
A soldier is never to be without protection or without his weapon, for this reason, we are called to:
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6:17
The first practical strategy I learned when seeking freedom from sexual sin was Bible reading. And I’m not talking about a casual or random reading of the Scriptures. I’m talking about an absolute need to hear from God. The Psalmist illustrates this concept with these words:
Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Psalm 81:10
The picture is of a baby bird in a nest, with its mouth gaping open waiting for its parent to bring food. The bird is eager to eat. Similarly, God began working in me a craving for His Word which I still have today.
I became absolutely desperate to hear from God and to be washed at the cross, and so I began forcing time into my schedule for the Word; I just absolutely had to hear from God. Do you sense this desire growing in your own life?
Question 2. What is your current level of hunger for God’s Word? Please share about your current intake of God's Word.
