                    POWER OF THE FLESH
A certain man was in very big trouble. He was sacked from five jobs. When he could not feed his family again, his wife ran away, leaving him with three daughters. To worsen his sorrow, his first daughter became pregnant while in form three. When he tried to beat her, she said,

                    EATING FLESH
The movie "Alive" is about the rugby team that crashed in the Andes Mountains and were forced to decide whether they would resort to eating flesh. I referred to it at the end of my sermon on John 6:41-59

                    When you get saved later in life like I did (I was 36), your spirit gets recreated, you’re all in on this salvation deal, but your flesh is still out there in the world, and it don’t know yet the program has changed.
 
It’s like when you go on a diet.  You stop eating all the ice cream, and donuts

                    The Spirit of God is always the spirit of liberty; the spirit that is not of God is the spirit of bondage, the spirit of oppression and depression. The Spirit of God convicts vividly and tensely, but He is always the Spirit of liberty. God who made the birds never made birdcages; it is men who make
