Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. I Peter 2:11 NIV
Believers are in this world as strangers; Heaven is our home really. It's easy to want to be like the world around us. We are to refrain from merging with the world; but rather to stand out like a sore thumb from the world and be different. In the world, sinful desires abound and find fulfilment in people's lives, warring against their souls. We are not to give in to such. Father, Help us to remember we are aliens in this world and not to partake nor give in to the sinful desires of the world in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. Romans 13:14 NASB
We must immerse ourselves and be clothed with and in the Lord Jesus Christ; and make no room nor provide for the fleshly lusts and desires, not to fulfil them. We need God to Help in this regard. Father, Help us; Cover us with the Lord Jesus Christ, so as not to provide for nor fulfil the lusts and or desires of the flesh in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict. Galatians 5:16,17 NLT
In Jesus Christ, we who believe receive a new life. We are urged to live according to the Standard set by Jesus Christ for that new life. We are born again in Jesus Christ and refrain from all evil; but to do good always. Our thoughts, words and deeds must be in allignment with the Word of the Lord God Almighty in Jesus' Name. We are in constant battle against the forces of darkness. What the Spirit of God wants is always at war with what the sinful, lustful desires want. We have to make a choice every time. Father, Help us to make the right choice by Your Standard every time in our lives in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
Proverbs 24:1,2 KJV
It's very attractive to the human soul to want to be like evil men who appear successful in all their ways and get envious of them! Do not follow the attraction. Resist it and refrain from even thinking of such. They are full of evil, mischief and destruction in thoughts, words and deeds. Do not look unto them at all. Father, Help us to renew our minds and set us straight in accordance with the Word/Spirit of the Living God in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. 2 John 1:4 (NIVUK)
The Bible says to teach your children in the way they should go and they will never depart from it! It is a joyful encouragement to have our children walking in the way of God taught to them. Father, Grant that our children never depart from Your Way as taught to them in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
(15) "And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. (16) "He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death. (17) "And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. Exodus 21:15-17 NKJV
It is not so much that in today's world offenders of the nature as described above are put to death; but more rather, that we learn how important it is to God that we do not do such things! It is an abomination to kidnap fellow human beings for a ransom or whatever reason! It is equally an abomination for children to curse their parents or beat them up! Father, please Touch our hearts not to engage in abominations in Your Sight in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
