"The Skin We're In" [Ses 5 / Ep 24]

When the Bible talks about our “flesh”, what does it mean, exactly? Is it talking about the skin that covers our skeletons? Is it talking about the people we’re related to? Is it talking about the meat we eat or certain parts of our bodies? Well, it’s actually talking about ALL of those things…and in fact, it’s talking about much MORE than just those things, as well, because many times when the Bible mentions our “flesh” it’s referring to our sinful natures. It’s referring to that part of us which doesn’t operate under the influence of the Spirit of God, but under the ways of the world and the devil. So when the Bible prohibits us from “operating in the flesh”, it’s telling us NOT to do all those worldly, sinful things which God frowns upon and which can PREVENT us from getting into heaven. It’s telling us to stay away from the WORKS of the flesh. But in order to stay away from the works of the flesh, we need to know WHAT those “works” are, exactly…so what are they? Come fellowship with us and learn how to avoid engaging in all those triflin’ old behaviors which God dislikes – that is, how to stay away from operating in the flesh – and instead grow your relationship with the Lord by following ONLY what His Spirit leads you to do and say!
