3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
Life can be confusing
Life can be confusing
In life we see
++Suffering
++Pain
++Injustice
We asks
Why?
Why?
1 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?
25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
You are not alone
++Abandoned
++Misunderstood
++Without hope
It is life in the flesh
It is life in the flesh
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

++Comes from within
++Anchored in our desire
++It is a war within us
Nobody really wins
Nobody really wins
How can you win a fight with yourself?

29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
