In this brief segment of his YouTube sermon, Blake Robert Templeton argues that the human "flesh" is not the true self but a demonic attachment that causes struggle. He asserts that believers are not identified with their flesh and therefore are not marked by the enemy. To "crucify" the flesh, Templeton prescribes a two‑fold spiritual practice: hating what God hates and loving what God loves, thereby declaring allegiance to God rather than the flesh.

Chapters

Hating what God hates and loving what God loves. Many people say, man, I'm struggling. No, the flesh is connected to you and it's making you struggle. So everyone buys into the flesh is them, but you're not your flesh. You're not the flesh. That's the demonic attachment that happened in the slave market. You're not marked by the enemy. We want to declare and decree we're marked by God, so we crucify the flesh. How do you crucify it? By hating what God hates and loving what God loves.
