John 3:3 says: Jesus answered and
said to him, "Truly, truly, I say
to you, unless one is born again,
he can not see the kingdom of God." A really agressive statement
to say the least. A person that does
not submit totally to God and his
will, dying in your ways and being born into his, will see the kingdom
of God. I know I look at God's commandments for me and think, "man,
look at all I have to give
up..." but the gifts stored up
for me in heaven will greatly outweigh
anything that I could get attached
to. Thou shall not lust, why? Well it
screws your persecption of the
opposite sex. You see them not as children
of God but as something VERY, different
then God's plan, becoming
useless to witness or testify or
do anything holy and good in their
presence. Therefore, do not
lust so that you will be effective in bring
EVERYONE the word and love of God.
We have victory in Jesus over sin. Great.
But I'm still tempted. So
what know? Don't know what to do? Pray. Now you know
what to do if you don't know what to do. With your eyes CLOSED and
mind on God how then can temptation be there? Maybe it
still calls to you so keep praying
that God will deliver you from it. He will! Trust that God
will keep you from temptation so that you can attack the source of it.
Wiether that would be a person, a poster, a movie, or your own mind.
Our minds are interesting things. To
contain both the word of God and
the tempts of satan. So. Lean not on your
own understanding but on God.
IF you think you hear God's voice ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do?
If the ansewer you get is he wouldn't then obviously don't do it.
If Jesus would then go for it! Satan is terrified at the name of
Jesus and the knowledge that he is going to
be defeated. Rejoice for
the victory will soon be ours!
Child of God waiting for the Blessed,
blessed return
