Summary
Zac Poonen teaches that God's grace enables believers to overcome both sin and fear, which he equates as equally serious spiritual enemies. He emphasizes that while the flesh will continue to tempt believers throughout their lives, Romans 6:14 promises that sin shall not have dominion over us, and through faith and repeated exposure to God's truth, we can conquer the 'giants' of habitual sin and fear that seek to control us.

Confronting the Goliaths of sin in your lifeBy the grace of God, believers can face the sins that enslave them and declare that those giants will no longer rule over them.
Moving from Romans 6 to Romans 7After understanding that sin cannot rule over us, we must be honest about the reality of the flesh that continues to tempt us every day.
Paul's honest confession of temptationPaul admits that he still experiences strong temptations and does things he does not want to do, demonstrating that the struggle with the flesh remains.Romans 7:7
The spiritual nature of God's word and the fleshEven after being born again, the self-will and lusts of the flesh remain within us, though we do not have to yield to them.
Why did God make the tree of knowledge attractive?God made the forbidden tree appealing to test Adam and Eve, giving them the opportunity to prove that God was more important to them than any created thing.
