Brother John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I heard this (below) from Jesus back in 2006; it thrills me to read it again this evening.\u00a0 I love Christ’s victory over sin!\u00a0 We cannot win that warfare.<\/span>
\n I sent this to you then, and it is so good, I wanted to send it again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n Hey Bro. John,<\/span>
\n This has blessed my soul this morning….<\/span><\/p>\n

The flesh did not repent when I chose the way of the Lord.\u00a0 Jesus made me an offer of eternal life, and I chose it over the flesh, but my flesh stayed exactly the same ….The flesh has never > repented…. It has never “gotten well”.\u00a0 It is just as sick as the day that I last saw it.\u00a0 So if we are to be well, we must stay far away from it. We can only do that by walking in the Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every rotten thing that we were, every sin that did or “does so easily beset us”, is still waiting for us in the flesh,<\/span>
\n if we will have it.\u00a0 It will be there until the day that we shed this flesh for eternity.\u00a0 \u00a0So… Here is the wonderful news!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n If we are struggling with any sin, if we are trying to walk holy and yet are feeling the heaviness of near defeat, if we are feeling unable and weak, It is of the flesh!\u00a0 And, that is exactly how your flesh felt on your very best, most victorious day, with Jesus!\u00a0 So….Get out of the flesh! and live and be happy and free, AND REST!\u00a0 And Lock the door behind you, so you can’t get back in!<\/span><\/p>\n

Man this feels good!<\/span><\/p>\n

Love Jerry<\/span><\/p>\n

============<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks, Jerry.\u00a0 You’re right. That IS good!<\/em><\/span>
\n Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
