Genesis 25 – A Prophetic Look at the Flesh VS Spirit, God reveals, through the birth of Jacob and Esau, amazing insights into the ongoing struggle of our fleshly, carnal desires that fight against the godly desires of the Spirit. We see that many people today are completely controlled by their bodily appetites (food, drink, greed, lust, sex, pride, etc.). However, contrary to popular opinion, our lives are not to be controlled by the desires of our sinful flesh. God commands us to be responsible in our actions. If you’ve ever struggled with wanting to do what is right but felt puled by your flesh in the wrong direction this study is for you. As Abraham comes to the end of his life, the Covenant God made with him is passed on to Isaac. Isaac and Rebekah have twin sons, Jacob and Esau. This chronic battle is revealed in the lives of Jacob and Esau in many ways, even from conception the two boys wrestle in the womb. Listen to this teaching from Pastor David Menard to find victory in the battle of the flesh vs. the Spirit. Genesis 25 – A Prophetic Look at the Flesh VS Spirit.

Abraham’s Life Comes To An End
Where Will You Go When You Die?
Therefore He says: “WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.”
(Now this, “HE ASCENDED”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

The Problem Jesus Faced with the Jews – Misdirected Faith
Jacob and Esau – A Prophetic Look at the Flesh vs Spirit
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Galatians 5:17, (NKJV) https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/gal/5/17/s_1096017
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
