A veil of flesh divides the spiritually hungry from the flesh-pleasers. Flesh pleasers will into break through the flesh. Strive through the wilderness to get fruits of Canaan. Hope is fuel for striving. He should have fought the fight of faith.
Faith comes from the word.
God SAID you shall die if you eat wrong fruit. Adam lost the birthright. When saints act ungodly, fight the fight of faith and let not go of the birthright. It may not be pottage you are tempted with, but temptation will come to make you let go of your birthright. Whom resist stedfast in the faith , knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
