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,
