Preparing for Prosperity - Part 1e: Definitions (Strife, Seditions, Heresies) John Young, Psalm 1

Strife in the flesh against the Spirit occurs when we demand our personal opinion or way over another person’s opinion or way, impeding the work of the Spirit from moving forward. We need to ask ourselves is my opinion or way more important than the unity of the Church in doing the work of God? Strife: noun [See Strive.]1. Exertion or contention for superiority; contest of emulation, either by intellectual or physical efforts. 2. Contention in anger or enmity; contest; struggle for victory; quarrel or war. I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon. Judges 12:2. 3. Opposition; contrariety; contrast. STRIVE, verb intransitive preterit tense strove; participle passive striven. [G. This word coincides in elements with drive, and the primary sense is nearly the same.] 1. To make efforts; to use exertions; to endeavor with earnestness; to labor hard; applicable to exertions of body or mind. A workman strives to perform his task before another; a student strives to excel his fellows in improvement. STRIVE with me in your prayers to God for me. Romans 15:30. STRIVE to enter in at the strait gate. Luke 8:1. 2. To contend; to contest; to struggle in opposition to another; to be in contention or dispute; followed by against or with before the person or thing opposed; as, strive against temptation; strive for the truth. My spirit shall not always strive with man. Genesis 6:3.3. To oppose by contrariety of qualities. 4. To vie; to be comparable to; to emulate; to contend in excellence. Seditions is when we attempt to secretly pull people to “our side” against the generally approved direction of the whole or leadership, so that when you go public, they are unable to resolve the contentions in a valid way. Seditions: noun. [denoting a rising or raging, rather than an appeasing…. to throw down, to drive, and sedition may be a setting or rushing together.] A factious commotion of the people, a tumultuous assembly of men rising in opposition to law or the administration of justice, and in disturbance of the public peace. sedition is a rising or commotion of less extent than an insurrection, and both are less than rebellion; but some kinds of sedition in Great Britain, amount to high treason. In general, sedition is a local or limited insurrection in opposition to civil authority, as mutiny is to military. Heresies is when our unique teachings gain a following with the goal of usurping the set doctrine of the scripture or a church. Essentially attempting to remaining part of a group with the set goal of overcoming their doctrine with your own. Heresies: HER'ESY, noun [Gr. to take, to hold;] 1. A fundamental error in religion, or an error of opinion respecting some fundamental doctrine of religion. But in countries where there is an established church, an opinion is deemed heresy when it differs from that of the church. The Scriptures being the standard of faith, any opinion that is repugnant to its doctrines, is heresy; but as men differ in the interpretation of Scripture, an opinion deemed heretical by one body of Christians, may be deemed orthodox by another. In Scripture and primitive usage, heresy meant merely sect, party, or the doctrines of a sect, as we now use denomination or persuasion, implying no reproach. 2. heresy in law, is an offense against Christianity, consisting in a denial of some of its essential doctrines, publicly avowed and obstinately maintained. 3. An untenable or unsound opinion or doctrine in politics.
