Notes from this week's podcast: In the battle of humility vs. flesh, let Christ in you win for you

Let this statement refresh you: We want to live out God's truth to live a fully satisfied life. 

Reminder: Write Scriptures that you want to use in the future so that you can (1) meditate on them and (2) learn and memorize them. It is and will be a strength for you. Let them be your instruction and guide. 

As we connect surrender, humility, and this fight with our flesh, consider these statements from Andrew Murray:

• A humble person feels no jealousy; they feel no envy. 
• Humility removes the flesh. 

Look back to the example of Esther. What was her motive? Whatever pleases the king.

Humility doesn't grow out of a soil of pride.

My body is only a vessel. It holds something. I am to house the life of Christ.

Your flesh will tempt you to fall into sin. Most of these temptations or sins are accepted in our culture. The flesh can in no way please God.

Christ in you has already won the battle.
