In continuing our discussion on ‘making no provision for the flesh’, I want to share a cartoon I created for my Sunday School Class about not feeding the flesh. The first page shows you.
The second page shows ‘the flesh’, our sin nature, our temptations to do wrong…
Page 3 shows our condition. We are bound by our fleshly desires.
Page 4 shows what happens when we ask Christ into our life.
Page 5 lets us know that that carnal nature is still very present.
Page 6 shows us that we need to fight against that nature. Paul said “the things I want to do, I don’t do and the things I don’t want to do, I do” (Paraphrase by Angie). It’s the same with us. We will fight this our entire lives.
Page 7 shows how we feed these fleshly desires by giving in to them, putting ourselves in a position to give in to them, and by ‘making provision’ for them.
Page 8 shows what happens when we ‘feed’ the flesh.
Page 9 shows what happens when we starve the flesh instead.
Apologies if you have to increase your screen size (Ctrl +) to read the cartoons.

Thanks Derek,
I always wonder that about my writings because if it’s not understood, it doesn’t do much good. I’m not the first one to have that idea, but I wanted to make it work for my personal ministry – my Sunday School class (and my other readers, of course). Thanks for stopping by!
