1) Dead in sins, people walk according to the world, devil, and flesh as escorts to eternal death.
2) The world, devil, and flesh are linked and take possession through lust of eye, flesh, and pride of life, leading people away from God.
3) To overcome, believers must not conform to this world and resist the devil, flesh, and ungodly lusts through faith in Christ who delivers from darkness.
The World is in darkness (spiritually ignorant of God, or worse), Jesus came to bring us to the light. Once in the light, we are to let our light shine, meaning that we must wake up, cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

What is an Anti-Christ?
The word “anti” literally means to be opposed to.
So anti-Christ is to attacks anything about Christ; His message, His person, His character.
Anti-Christ is denying that Jesus is the Christ, that He is the Messiah or that He is fully God, His virgin birth, His sinless life and His resurrection, His returning again to judge the world, His supreme King of the universe, He is the Son of God.

Spiritual Warfare: The Nature of the Enemy (Part II)David Turner
Satan, also know as the devil is real. Not only should we know he is real, we should understand his character and how he conducts warfare on his enemies. This is part II in a series on Spiritual Warfare. Visit us at Bibleguy.org
How do you respond to the idea that there are spiritual powers and demons in the universe that are working against God's will?
How are you aware of the spiritual warfare around you? If Satan is a "deceiver" and our Lord calls him "the father of lies" then how have his lies affected your life? What lies have you believed (in the past, or possibly now) about yourself, others and God? These and other questions are addressed in this study.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. Dead Man Walking
Text- Eph 2:1-2
1 And you hath he quickened,
who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to
the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Dead Men Walking
In 1980 Lyle shuffled into the county jailwearing shackles,
a waist chain,
and cuffs around his wrists.
As the officer prepared to escort Lyle to his cell,
he called out,
"Clearthe corridor!
2. Dead man walking."
Lyle says, it was then "my gut just clenched up,"
with "The reality of what I was facing"
Lyle was expected to die in the electric chair.
https://www.prisonfellowship.org/2017/05/dead-man-walking-insider/?
Men are unconscious of their death yet they pursue it.
The direction of their walk is away from God,
with their backs to him.
The downward spiral their life takes is
one act of defiled conscience
after another,
till their last breath on this earth
carries them to a more permanent
realization of God’s definition of death.
But hell is still one step away from the true manifestation of
death.
Death and hell will be cast
into the Lake of fire and this will be
the second and final death.
Those who would not choose to see
and trust the unseen God of the Bible
will be punished for eternity.
The lake of fire will inflict torcher
3. to their now unseen flesh that
they spent a lifetime pampering.
For [their] house inclineth unto death,
and [their] paths unto the dead. (Prov 2:18)
[Their] feet go down to death;
[their] steps take hold on hell. (Prov 5:5)
Man, by nature is a follower so the path to death is always
accompanied by a guide.
The three evil escorts to eternal death are clearly seen in our
passage.
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, the world
according to the prince of the power of the air, the Devil
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: the flesh
These three are inextricably linked
till they take possession of
"the lust of the eye,
the lust of the flesh,
and the pride of life."
I THE WORLD.
Sinners walk "according to the course of this world”.
4. A. The world is a great counterfeit creator:
of opinion, sentiment, and habit,
thus positioning itself to become an immense obstacle to Life in
Christ Jesus.
B. The course of the world.
Every age has its own costume, conversation and
entertainment
but it is the same world,
and still carnal men live according to
the demonic dictates of
their escort of death.
C. The duty of the new creature
in Christ Jesus is, to oppose the course of this world.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will
of God.
Your life is an epistle written not with ink but actions and is
read by all who see you. The message should say “this is the
will of God”.
1Cor 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.
5. Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify
yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for
that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in
the sight of God. Dead man walking
Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver
us from this present evil world, according to the will of God
and our Father:
1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
II THE DEVIL.
This ancient enemy,
older than the world,
is the unseen controller
of this world’s trends
and enjoyments.
He is described by two names,
"the prince of the power of the air," this points to his
leadership over the fallen angels;
And ”the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience" this points to his leadership in relation to his
power as the "prince of this world."
6. The Scripture defines him as:
a murder from the beginning;
a liar and the father of liars,
a rebel,
the king of all the children of pride.
His name is expressly identified with
the sin of Adam,
the murder of Abel,
the treachery of Judas,
and with constant accusation of the brethren.
He is the accuser, tempter and corrupter.
Just as the power of Christ is to give life,
his power is to bring all manner of death.
Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of
flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the
same; that through death he might destroy him that had
the power of death, that is, the devil;
If God, who is a Spirit,
can have access to,
and influence our minds for good;
So may the Devil for evil.
7. He is said to have put "into the heart of Judas to betray
Christ". (Joh 13:2) Dead man walking
He can, like a bird, take away the good seed out of a man’s
heart; (Luk 8:12) Dead man walking
he can fill a man’s heart to lie to the Holy Spirit; (Act 5:3)
Dead man walking
and he can dwell in a man’s heart, like a strong man in a
castle. (Lu 11) Dead man walking
His actions are cloaked with “all deceivableness of
unrighteousness", (2Th 2:10) Dead man walking
He is so bent on destruction;
his every move is to destroy
any moral absolute of God.
Satan is the tempter,
but man, on his own,
takes the action to follow the escort of evil.
8. They are called "the children of disobedience,"
because they refuse to obey God, Dead man walking
and "because of these things cometh the wrath of God
upon the children of disobedience" (Eph 5:6). Dead man
walking
The disobedient are ensnared and "carried away captive by
the devil at his will". (2Ti 2:26) Dead man walking
Believers are warned not "to give place to the devil"; (Eph
4:27) and
"to resist the devil". (Jam 4:7)
No Christian has any business becoming entangled in the devices
of, or exaltation of Death.
Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son:
Eph 5:14-15 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give
thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as
fools, but as wise,
9. III THE FLESH.
The flesh, covers more than just sins of the body;
it includes "adultery, fornication, murder, drunkenness, and
revellings"
as well as hatred, variance, emulation, wrath, strifes,
seditions, heresies,". (Gal 5:19-20)
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh". (Joh 3:6) Dead
man walking
The lusts of the flesh culminate
in the desires of the flesh and of the mind.
They are described as "ungodly lusts", (Jude 1:18)
Jude 1:18 How that they told you there should be
mockers in the last time, who should walk after their
own ungodly lusts. Dead man walking
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;
10. 2Cor 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly
beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of
God.
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly, righteously, and godly,
in this present world;
We must learn to honor the body as the temple of the Holy
Ghost;
to make it the servant, not the master, of the soul;
to dedicate it as a vessel unto honor
sanctified and "meet for the Master’s use.
