Fighting

Okay I know that it has been forever since I have written anything and when I did it was only one real post. But today is different and I feel a burden. A burden that just makes me want to punch something in all out rage. I want to kick and scream and act like King Kong. I want to destroy, mame, bruise, break, and mutilate. I want to fight.
I know your like, "What the heck is going on with him? Did he just snap and blow a fuse?" Well maybe I have. When I was a kid (some say I still am a kid, just a big one), I used to get in a lot of fights and loose my temper over the dummest things, usually they made fun of me or my mom. Now that I am saved I don't loose my temper like that anymore and haven't got in a real fight in years. But now I have come to a point in my life where I want to fight again. I have been wondering what it would be like if more people would fight and if I would fight more often. In the world, the world of sin, flesh, and evil, we have to face many enemies. These enemies hate us and by us I mean Christians, those who love and serve Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They want us dead and maimed, made ineffective and bound into slavery to serve their Master, Satan.
I mean to fight this and I want to go to extreme measures to do it, but I find that I have one enemy that is ruthless and merciless. This enemy my bane. It is always plotting and formulating new devices and plots to destroy me. This enemy knows all of my inner workings and my greatest (or should it be weakest) weaknesses. I has the best surveillance on me and he is always present with me. I can never leave or run from him. If you haven't guessed yet, that maniacal enemy is me, myself, and I. I am bound by my flesh and only until the Day of Christ (Christ conquering return) or my certain death, will I be set free from it. Even though it is always here and I can never leave it, I am not a slave to; I do not have follow its orders and wanderings. My flesh is bound by sin and falleness, but thanks to Jesus Christ's redeeming work and the propitiation of His righteousness, I am no longer unable to conform to Christ's, the image of righteousness before a Most Holy and Loving Father, Judge, and Lord.
All of this to say that I want to fight and I want to fight in such a ways as to win; to be victorious. In fighting our flesh Jesus calls us to be radical with it and dismember it if necessary. I cannot do this fight on my own and I must use the ONLY tools that work: knowing intimately Jesus Christ, and walking in Spirit, through continual prayer, "swimming" (as John Piper says) and feasting on God's Word. Not just going to it and Him for snacks and a drink once and a while, and then turning back to my little idols.
I will write more on this, but pray for all Christians to fight and mortify their flesh; making no provision for it. Put on Christ and never take Him off. Live in Him.
