A birth against the will of flesh

Living in the Spirit
Bible Reading: Romans 8: 1- 7

Introduction: The word 'Birth' is what everyone is familiar with, when we talk about birth, we talk about life, new life indeed.
Going by the topic, a birth against the will of Flesh means Overcoming the will of Satan and dwelling or yielding to the will of God.
The Flesh is natural body, a mortal body and is a weaker vessel, that is why the devil always set his eyes on the flesh whenever he wants to demote a life of God's children. I will tell you firmly that the flesh is what our soul adversary always war against first in the life of a believer's, so if you are not strong and sensitive enough, no matter how anointed you are or your years in the Christendom, you will definitely fall. The woman Adam declared as his flesh of flesh was the point of influence, satan used to set him against the command of God. In the book of Job 2:5, he is bringing in same method to set Job against his creator, he said touch his bone and flesh. Today, same tricks and pranks he is playing to set you and I against the will of God.
Christians need to come to the point of understanding, where they need to realise this truth, not to give flesh, room to rule over them, Apostle Paul noticed this lapses in the body of Christ at Ephesus and he say unto them repeatedly to always being in the spirit, walking and living in it. It takes a spiritual minded man to overcome this flesh.
We won't but touch this, if there is a birth against the will of the flesh, then there will likewise be a birth against the will of the spirit. Therefore we are to firstly discern where are we, who is our father now, Jesus spoke of those who are born of the devil (John 8: 44) and this is as well emphasized by Apostle John
"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
1 John 3:8-10.
The only single birth against the birth of the flesh is the birth from God. Jesus says, he who is born of the flesh is flesh and who is born of the spirit is spirit, you cannot be born of the spirit and be controlled by the impulses of the flesh and vice versa. Any man born against the will of the flesh is always spiritual.
In books of Mathew 26:14b. Jesus said the spirit is indeed willing (spirit of God) but the flesh is weak.. the spirit of God always want us to do the right thing, to live a righteous life but the flesh will not allow because it is carnally minded.
We need to know vividly that it is not everything flesh demand that we will give. As a heir, someone that has genuine intimacy with God, you must always discipline your flesh and be conscious of the things of God so that you will not fall, As anointed king saul is, he fell, Judas was one of the chosen and called disciples of Christ Jesus, but he never end it well in the apostolic ministry. Let he that thinks he stand, take heed lest he fall. In other not to fall and be a prey to the devil, we need to be more sensitive and totally submit to the things of the spirit, you must not set your mind on the things that are carnal.
Apostle Paul said In the book of Romans 13:14, "we should put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provisions for the Flesh, to fulfill it lust."
One thing is needful here and that is to know this truth that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. And now, possibly we have been submitting to the flesh, there's is still time to make a U-turn and start dwelling and living a life of the spirit (God). I am so glad you let you know that the reason for Christ bearing that shame, pain, suffering, agony and finally death is in order to restore us back.

I have a sister in my church, sincerely speaking, she has been mastered by fornication, how can I approach her for a rebirth pertaining to this topic, because what she does is the will of the flesh?
Two things I want us to consider is that the sister is in the church and in fact she find pleasure in it, inviting people to the church.

Whenever I try to drive out my your point, so as to preach a call into repentance, she will pick something greater than I thought, I don't know if you have met with any of that kind, someone you want to give a word of charge to, or talk to her about her lifestyle and she then come and cross you with "I remember the day I gave my life to Christ Jesus, July 15th and I give God the glory for my life now......," as you try to talk, she continues, "day before yesterday as I was meditating in my room, I heard him clearly," who? She replied, "Holy Spirit, he was telling me...,"

Sir after hearing all this, what should I do?

Someone that had given Glory to God over her life right from are spiritual Born Day and I am there to speak about her sinful lifestyle.
2. Someone that says she still here clearly the spirit of God, communicating with her at the time of her meditation, should I say she is lying? Where do you expect me to start from.

According to my own understanding, I think those that it is very difficult to convert are backsliding Christian, because they will be quoting scriptures like Pharisee. Jesus Christ used a parable in the book of Matthew 9:14 that you cannot pour new wine inside the old wine skin, because it will burst" before you can pour the new wine inside the old wineskin you need to empty the old bottle first, so such sister needed God afresh, she needs revelation and revival that make her to pour out old anointing that will not allow the fresh anointing to stay until her "king uzziah" dies before she see God afresh.
So help her in prayer to encounter God afresh

[2018-07-31] Sister Justina :

To me, according to 1st John 3vs9, I don't think she's born again
Secondly, you need to pray for God's direction if God will be using you for her

[2018-07-31] Brother Daniel :

In this case for the rebirth, lead her first to the bible making her know the things of the spirit and the things of the flesh.
Know that within her mind, she might be weeping because of the life style she is living, many children of GOD is not their will or mind to do want is against the will of GOD.
At this point, youu tell her and also pray for her.
According to ur question,
she always like to bring people to church, that's to say she has the zeal to serve God, but due to the worldly things of the flesh that is not allowing her to do what is right.
That life of fornication might not be the original she said she will live.
So, I will say u should pray and lead her to the bible making her know the work of the flesh.

[2018-07-31] HeirsofCovenant :

I agreed with you ma.
Some people quite complained that this church pointing to a particular denomination always do deliverance.
I have begin to experience that many people need deliverance.

[2018-07-31] Sister Rachel :

In my opinion i think she needs deliverance
For real
The flesh is subjected to devil and once we allow the flesh once you have given devil the access to penetrate
and you know who devil is right?
He manipulated the word of God how much more we went we don't have Christ
Raise up fighters for her sake, let them pray for her like she is a contract, and hear what God is saying concerning her
Remember the ruler of this world have blind folded their eyes, you need to remove the blindfold, and let me cheap in this you can conduct deliverance for some one without the person being there
