Valley's Battle Won At Hill Top

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16 KJV)

This is an extract from a sermon by Adrian Rogers, "Victory Over the Flesh".

Our three enemies:

1. World - external foe - Egypt
2. Devil - infernal foe - Pharaoh
3. Flesh - internal foe - Amalekites

God called the Israelites out of Egypt. God called us out of the world.
Where are the Israelites suppose to go? They were to go to Canaan.
On the way, they had water from the rock and then they were attacked by the Amalekites.

1. Spirit-filled life - Canaan
2. Water from the Rock - the Holy Spirit
3. The Rock - Christ

Flesh is our internal enemy, represented as Amalekites. When did the Amalekites attack?

1. Unexpectedly, after the biggest blessing;
2. Indirectly, attacking the weakest;
3. Arrogantly, without fear of God.

How did the Israelites win the battle against the Amalekites?
Moses went up to the hill with Aaron and Hur and Joshua battled the Amalekites in the valley.

Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (Exodus 17:11-12 ESV)

The battle in the valley is won at the top of the hill.
The victory over the flesh is God given.
Stand in the victory that is already won.
