Overcoming the Edomites Part 1

Journey of the Sons of God to the Promised Land Today’s Focus: Spirit of Edom – Overcoming the Edomites Part 1 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:12-14; James 1:19-21 Greetings Sons of God: Well in order for us to understand how to overcome this spirit we need to know the characteristics of this spirit of Edom: 1. Malicious and Quick to Anger 2. Disregard of Spiritual things 3. Perpetual Hatred 4. Prideful So in order to overcome this spirit we know we must do the opposite: Malicious, Quick to Anger (Wrath) James 1:19-21: wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.. We overcome the Edomite spirit by being slow to speak, quicker to be quiet and listen and receive the Word of the Lord in the spirit of meekness. Disregard of Spiritual Things 1 Corinthians 2:12-14: No we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Just like Esau disregarded the importance of his birthright for food those who posses this spirit care for the canal things of life and disregard the importance of their spiritual inheritance. But we see that if we are to understand the things that God has for us and has given us then we must see and hear through the eyes and ears of the spirit because the Spirit of God discerns all things that are spiritual comparing them but the carnal man cannot know the things of the Spirit because they are only spiritually discerned. In the next message, we will continue looking at how the sons of God overcome the spirit of the Edomite Peace, Love and Grace, Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
