Child
of God you cannot live like the heathen and produce righteous fruit. Scripture
that talks about being lulled away to sleep. Many of us are fighting to
stay conscious in a society where Satan’s sole purpose is to keep us in a state
of confusion; fear, doubt and chaos, but God has not given us the spirit of
fear...if worldly desires and lust were something God expected us to be able to
conquer or battle with alone scripture would not implore us to flee from
it. This is what we should be teaching our sons and daughters.
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee
from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body,
but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
We must not be deceived and subscribe to the world's standard.
The
word of God offers a standard by which every born again believer can
use as the standard by which to judge if we indeed are bearing witness
of the true light. Many say Christians have not right to judge, however
the passage below is not judgement however yet observation of the acts
that are against God's will. Those who sin against themselves and others
will receive the penalty of their sin as just reward.
1 John 2:16 NIV
For everything in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life--comes not from the Father but from the
world.
Many of us are setting up ourselves to fall by refusing to lay aside every
weight in our own lives. This makes us vulnerable to compromise which leads to sin. It is up to us to desire to be pure and accountable.
Colossians 3:5 NIV
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual
immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Romans 1:27 NIV
In
the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were
inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men,
and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
We cannot be a light when we condone evil agendas even if it is by omission. When we refuse to voice the truth of God when confronted in social setting as well as at home. Daily we need to refer to the Word of God and rely on the Holy Spirit to teach us. Guard your hearts and cut evil and corrupt ties...this includes people and media in All forms.
It is essential for us to be able to quite our mind and direct
our thoughts by putting into practice these methods which ground us in truth. Just as sin begins with a thought, so does covenant. We must be committed with Christ above all things to be pleasing to Him. Refraining and abstaining from a life of sin will increase our faith and strengthen others.
Psalm 119:9 NIV
How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.
Job 17:9 NIV
Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.
We don't pray and meditate like we ought to. This is a discipline that should be a part of our private walk. Discipline is the key to success in every area of our lives. Want to be productive? Successful? Healthy? Wealthy? Discipline yourself spiritually...FIRST, do not be deceived self-disciple is not an act of self will...it requires a greater power...it is a righteous fruit of the spirit...and you will see the condition of our natural body and life is a result of our spiritual man.
Coupled with God's word he directs us in All things pertaining to fulfillment and understanding.
Meditate on seeking the heart of God by daily study of
His word...A preacher cannot do this for you. Focus on leading a Christ
centered life and delight yourself in Him...and He will cause the understanding
to rest in your heart and direct you to live in peace that surpasses
understanding.
