This idea that you have so much goodness in you that you can speak your desires into the universe, and god will appear from a jinni lamp and grant you your wishes because you are such a noble person created to be a winner and champion is a Sheol-bred lie. That is because inside man exists two wolves at war with one another. There's a good one and a bad one. The one who wins this battle is the one you feed.
In the light of the abovementioned native American folktale, St. Paul examined his inner experience and saw another law in his cravings and desires, warring against the principle of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the rule of the flesh that is in his appetites and wants.In conclusion to this observation, he exclaimed, "wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]?."
That exclamation encapsulates humanity's occulted struggle to understand what they do, despite expressing the goodness they possess and communicating with the universe to grant their wish. For what they want, this they do not do; but what they hate, this they do [and yield to their human nature, their worldliness].
Shall legalism i.e., keeping the law while ignoring the law-giver rescue you from this body of death? I beg to differ. I with my mind am enslaved to the law of Yahuah, but with my flesh, I am enslaved to the law of missing the mark.
