In your own words, describe the “war” discussed by Dr. Dodson in this lesson.
-
We are fighting a war from within when we war with the spirit and the flesh.
-
The war is a challenge to the peace of God in us by Christ Jesus. This war is manifested by fleshly, worldly desires versus God’s original and ongoing will.
-
The war within ourselves is between our spirit which desires to be one with the holy spirit and our sinful flesh which desires the pleasures of this world.
-
The war that wages in us is between doing what the Holy Spirit wants us to do and what human nature/the flesh wants us to do. It is a continual battle. For me, every morning I have a decision to make, will I be lead by the desires of the flesh, or will I follow the leading of the Spirit.
-
I would say the term war means against our spirt and our flesh. Because they are both ends of the spectrum.
