In this study we will see the continuation of Jesus’ encounter with the “Woman at the Well” as well as the “Centurion’s Faith”. Although the first is physically healthy as contrasted to the second’s, the first had the great need brought to light – spiritual. Jesus meets every need.

(2Co 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:…(6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” So often people treat church as a club, a creation of man for the purpose of worshipping God. It is not. It is a God ordained, spiritual house of spirit-born people brought together for their spiritual instruction and growth in the Lord. They worship while there – yes. More to come tomorrow.

(2Co 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:….(5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Can you imagine what your walk would be like with our Lord if you sought to practice this? It seems so many are quick to dismiss this for its impossibility. Yet, once you say, “God”, the impossible becomes possible. We can at the very least – try.

(2Co 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:….(5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” Notice that this warfare first begins with battling self, the old nature, the old flesh. This cannot be effective unless one has been seeking to know and please the Lord, putting His Word in the heart.
THIRSTING SOULS BIBLE TEACHING: The Life of Christ Lesson #27 “The Woman at the Well”
Certainly the disciples of our Lord needed to learn that our God loves all men – the world. But so do the believers of our own day and time. Here we see not only the compassion of our Lord, but also how He leads the person to first acknowledge their own sin. Join me for this informative study.

(2Co 10:4) “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)” Brothers/sisters, there is not a chance of losing a spiritual battle for those who yield their will to the Lord’s. From there it is trusting that He will work your good in the situation, and, most importantly, His glory.

(2Co 10:4) “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)” While immature believers are reacting to problems among the church in the flesh (carnal), the mature are doing to through the Spirit of God. His power is unlimited and thus can overcome anything. This is the mindset of the truly mature believer.

(2Co 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:” Just as the things of the spirit are more important than the things of the flesh, so it is in this battle. Our text is further enlightened by this one: (Eph_6:12) “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

(2Co 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:” When facing a problem within the local church, the family of the truly saved, we must first look to self’s reaction. Our flesh can move us to reaction wrongly. Our own motivations must be first considered, and if wrong, condemned, rejected.
