THE ANCIENT STRATEGY | Part 1: The Lust of the Flesh

Why did Satan tempt Eve the way he did? Why did he use the same approach with Jesus in the wilderness? And why does the Apostle John summarize all worldly temptation as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life? Because the enemy’s strategy has never changed. In Part 1 of this new three-part series, we explore the first battlefield: the lust of the flesh.This is far deeper than physical temptation. It is the daily battle over who will govern your life, your spirit or your appetites, your faith or your feelings, God’s Word or your impulses. Discover how Jesus overcame where Adam fell, why temptation often begins in the mind, and how the renewing of your mind through God’s Word enables you to break destructive cycles and live under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
