Lesson 312: THE WRONG SWORD

INTRODUCTION:
To overcome the battle of life we should not use the wrong sword instead, we are to use the weapons that are not carnal II Cor. 10:3-5. May the Lord bless us richly as we study at His feet in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

1. WE NEED GOD’S HELP IN TIMES OF BATTLE AND WHEN THE BATTLE IS OVER.

Many a times we fight the world battle with great inspiration power and spiritual victory only to become carnal fleshly and defeated, when another battle arises I Sam. 21:1-15; Joshua 7:3-4; Matt. 26:40-43; John 18:10-11; Luke 18:1; Isaiah 40:31; Zech. 4:6; John 15:5; Acts. 12:5; II Cor. 1:11; Eph. 6:18. Therefore we should take heed I Thess. 5:17; I Cor. 10:11-12; Rom. 10:21; II Cor. 10:5.

2. THE END RESULT OF BACKSLIDING

When a child of God backslide’s fear enters the heart and is quickly followed by confussion and depression Prov. 29:25; Psalm 27:1-3; II Sam. 1:27; Rev. 21:27. We are tempted to twist the truth and tell lies, our testimony, may then become so blemished, that the worldly people laugh at our folly, and madness John 8:44; John 8:32; Judges 16:24-25.
