The spirit of lust

Lust definition: a very strong sexual desire (for someone).

1 Corinthians 7:2-4

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

In life we know that sexual sin can cause us to stumble and fall according to the word of God. If we are in ignorance the enemy will take advantage of our momentary demonic influenced weakness (the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak). In order to control dangerous burning desires Paul urges us to marry than to burn. Marriage is honorable in the sight of the Most High. If you are experiencing lust filled demonic attacks leading you to perversion of ant sort via pornography, cheating on your spouse, etc., please seek help spiritually and mentally. Lust can literally destroy your whole life! Rebuke it, pray against it and seek help…live and not die.

Shalom

The Flesh vs. The Spirit

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

We have to be accountable for the decisions we make in life. These decisions can move us forward or set us back from our destiny. Relationships, careers, protection, provision, happiness, overcoming and even motivations we usually depend on the Most High for but if we are honest we can confess that we play a huge part in these things because of free will in having a choice in the matter. Having this kind of authority can help us or hurt us as people wanting and needing more in certain areas of our lives.

The tools for overcoming take bravery, being set apart takes boldness. Sometimes it’s not easy walking away from unhealthy, rebellious or dysfunctional bondages because the flesh wants what it wants. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The enemy of your soul wants you to be devoured by addictions, insecurities, shame, fear, filth, struggle, jealousy, danger, rage and many other negative strong holds we should be rebuking from our lives.

It is imperative that we make great choices for our lives considering our spirit first because of where we want to end up for eternity. Rejoicing in health, increase, expansion, discernment, focus, love, peace, trust, forgiveness, obedience, ect. should be our goal. There is strength in courageous and positive decisions but the belief in a higher Power helps us to keep in mind that we are imperfect people seeking perfection to direct us to a place of complete rest. Remember family…spirit first and then body because in any other order there will most likely be chaos and regret.
