Mike Kai: "Battle Between Flesh and Spirit"
Tuesday, February 17, 2026
In this powerful message from Genesis 25–27, we dive deep into the story of Jacob and Esau — two brothers, two nations, and two natures. When Rebekah was pregnant, God revealed that two nations were in her womb and that "the older will serve the younger." But this wasn't just about sibling rivalry it's a powerful picture of the spiritual battle happening inside every one of us. In this sermon, we explore: ●The difference between your sinful nature (the flesh) and your new nature in Christ ●How Esau traded his birthright for immediate gratification ●Why the flesh will always trade inheritance for appetite ●The power of words spoken over your children and family ●How character matters more than reputation ●How relational conflict can create generational consequences From the Abrahamic Covenant in Book of Genesis Chapter 12 to the birthright blessing and the future of Israel, this message connects Old Testament prophecy to the inner spiritual struggle described in Epistle to the Romans 8 and Epistle to the Galatians 5. Key Takeaways: ● The older (flesh) must serve the younger (spirit) ● You can't pursue God's promises without godly character ● Your words carry life or death power ● What you feed grows stronger; your flesh or your spirit Through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, God accomplishes His redemptive plan — ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ. If you've ever struggled with temptation, family conflict, regret, or feeling like you never received a blessing this message is for you.
