                    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 flesh is a built-in law of failure, making it impossible for the natural man to please or serve God. It is a compulsive inner force inherited from man’s fall, which expresses itself in general and specific rebellion against God and His righteousness. The flesh can never be reformed or improved.

                    God Almighty is with us in human flesh, and we are liberated from the power of sin and death.  We are “more than conquerors through Him who loves us.”  The hymn writer John W. Peterson expresses it so well:

                    Jesus stated, “Unless you eat the flesh . . . and drink His blood, you have no life in you” (v. 53). Eating flesh and drinking blood sounds like the Lord’s Supper or Communion, where Jesus spoke of the bread as his body and the cup as his blood (Matthew 26:26-28).

Grace, triumphant in the throne,
Scorns a rival, reigns alone;
Come and bow beneath her sway!
Cast your idol works away!
Works of man, when made his plea,
Never shall accepted be;
Fruits of pride (vain-glorious worm!)
Are the best he can perform.
Self, the god his soul
