Subtopic: “Naughty by Nature” {Genesis 3:1-7; Psalms 51:1-5; Proverbs 24:16; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12}

Teaching Aim: To teach believers how to skillfully use the Word of God to tap into and operate in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit to overpower the Naughtiness of their flesh.

Food4Thought: We are tempted when we are drawn away by our own lust [ungodly desires, appetites, and cravings] through the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life [ 1 John 2:16]

In Genesis 3:6 Eve was drawn away by:

The lust of the flesh - Eve saw that the tree was good for food

The lust of the eyes - Eve saw that it was pleasant to the eyes

The pride of life - Eve saw a tree which lured and enticed her to reject the knowledge and instructions of God [Beware of accepting ungodly opportunities to get ahead in life]
