1 Sam 5:1-12. The key to overcoming idolatry and the flesh is through the presence of God. If our “temple” is filled with his presence as Spirit-filled believers, then the idols fall and we can grow in experiencing an overcoming life. Do not focus on the idols, but look to ensure that the Ark is in its place and that we are rightly related to God, victory follows. “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Gal 5:16).
