CHAPTER 7 : ENEMY TERRITORY.
This chapter has help me identify the forces of evil known as the world and flesh.
It is a hostile ground ..the world and flesh are enemy territory.
The world has different meaning in scripture. It can mean the earth or universe. It is also refer to Gentiles which are all nations of the Jewish nation.
But the world also is used to refer to the present condition of human affairs in opposition to God. Flesh in this context, is not referring to the actual flesh of your body. It is a term which describe the basic evil human nature of man with which appeals to his fleshly desires. Satan is the prince or the ruler of the world . He is also call God of this world. The kingdoms of the world are presently influence by satan. They are guided by satanic philosophy and principles. They are flesh center and flesh governed. Sin is the reason of this present condition.
Indeed the world and the flesh are enemy territory.
