Picture of Victory

Joshua 5:1
One of the great Christian men of this age put it this way: ''There is no time for soft Christianity.'' We live in an age in which I believe, the lines are being drawn. God's chosen, those who really love Him, are going to have to stand more boldly for Him than ever before.

The only waythat it can be dealt with is when we get a new nature in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit neutralizes the old flesh. The flesh is an enemy. Galatians Chapter 5 verses 19-21 defines the flesh and the works of the flesh. Paul writes them out and says,''1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- here are the works of one flesh.''

There is a third enemy and that is the devil. The Bible classifies the devil in many ways. Two or three of his titles or descriptions are given this way. He is called the ''prince of the power of this air.'' The ''prince.'' It means he's got authority. ''The power in the air'' means powers, s ...
