Hello ,
Billy Graham told this story:
An Eskimo fisherman came to town every weekend. He always brought his two dogs with him. One was white and the other was black. He had taught them to fight on command. Every weekend in the town square the people would gather and these two dogs would fight and the fisherman would take bets.
On one weekend the black dog would win; another weekend, the white dog would win--but the fisherman always won! His friend began to ask him how he did it. He said, "I starve one and feed the other. The one I feed always wins because he stronger."
This story about the two dogs is apt because it tells us something about the inner warfare that comes into the life of a person who is born again.
I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our
Lord! Romans 7:21-24 (NKJV)
We have two natures within us, both struggling for mastery. Which one will dominate us? It depends on which one we feed. If we feed our spiritual lives and allow the Holy Spirit to empower us. "
Have a great day and God bless!
