The Lust's Of This World

-



For all that is in the world the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions is not from the Father but is from the world. 1st John 2:16

I've been thinking to myself lately and I don't know why, maybe it's God revealing Himself to me. That no lust is worth our salvation, it's all temporary pleasure everyone in this world is looking for that thing that brings them happiness, a high or that sense of belonging. But to break it to you, only the Holy Spirit can give that to you through the 9 fruits it brings as Galatians 5: 22-23 mentions.

Have you ever been in that predicament where you fell into lust?  You had a few minutes of pleasure, then you have that clarity of feeling crap knowing it wasn't worth it then we repent this is what the devil does he want's us to believe that this sin, whether it be sexual immorality, greed, taking drugs or taking part in the secular things of this world will make us so happy but the happiness will wear off liked faded jeans. I'm not here to attack anyone because I myself have struggles against sexual lust in the past few years even though I'm waiting till marriage. I'm here to be transparent and not lie because if I tell you guys not to feed into your lusts but I struggle with mine, then I'll be leading you astray and the blind can't lead the blind. There's been so many times where I fell into sexual immorality, I felt so dirty and ashamed of myself. It was like the devil and his demons were throwing a party. As I've been thinking lately as I mentioned previously that it wasn't worth it why put our salvation at risk? For a few moments of pleasure that never last. 

Why do you think there's so many addicts? Because people go to these things to get an edge, to feel wanted, a way of escapism and to feel happy, but it's not worth it as they keep going back and back. We're living in times where it's easy to fall into lust, it's easy to feel worthless, that we are willing to do anything and everything to find happiness and peace. Money, drugs, alcohol, food, people and whatever gluttony you have of something will never put you at peace, many of us as believers are feeding into our lusts and there's so many warnings God can only give us. The Holy Spirit will  fill that void that's in you, Jesus will heal you for, that healing you're looking for, lust is like food shopping, you can buy in bulk but you will always have to top it up as food/it (the lust) will eventually run out after it's course. Let me give you guys some food for thought like Matthew 16:26 why gain the whole world but end up losing your soul, is it really worth it?

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch nemesis

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Spirit Of Disobedience

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-7   If you asked what is the reason or the biggest sin that takes Christians, people away from God? I would say justification of living in sin and when you're living in sin on PURPOSE you are disobeying God. In the word it says we shouldn't do A to Z but in in today times where even many Christian authorities disobey the ways of God. This is why there is many sorry to say many lost, weak Christians in the world. Okay we all have different spiritual journeys we all take time and move in differe
