BATTLING LUST AND ADDICTION
Rom 12:1 I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service.
Mar 9:47 And if thine eye
offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of
God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mar 9:48 Where their
worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
1Th 4:3 For this is the
will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1Th 4:4 That every one of
you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
1Th 4:5 Not in the
lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
Jer 8:3 And death shall be
chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil
family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven
them, saith the LORD of hosts.
Rom 1:24
Wherefore God
also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to
dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Col 3:5 Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Eph 4:17 This I
say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the
vanity of their mind,
Eph 4:18 Having the
understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance
that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Eph 4:19 Who being
past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all
uncleanness with greediness.
1Pe 4:1 Forasmuch
then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with
the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1Pe 4:2 That he no longer
should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the
will of God.
The Apocrypha: Susanna: As the story goes, a fair Hebrew wife
named Susanna was falsely accused by lecherous voyeurs. As she bathes in her
garden, having sent her attendants away, two lustful elders secretly observe
the lovely Susanna.
(Apocrypha) Susanna 1:1-64
1 There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim:
2 And
he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair
woman, and one that feared the Lord.
3 Her
parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of
Moses.
4 Now
Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and
to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.
5 The
same year were appointed two of the ancients of
the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness
came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.
6 These
kept much at Joacim's house: and all that had any suits in law came unto them.
8 And
the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; so that their lust was inflamed toward her.
9 And
they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven,
nor remember just judgments.
14 So
when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they
acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time
both together, when they might find her alone.
15 And
it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she
went in as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in
the garden: for it was hot.
17 Then
she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut
the garden doors, that I may wash me.
18 And
they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves
at privy doors to fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they were hid.
20 Behold, the garden doors are shut, that no man can see us, and
we are in love with thee; therefore consent unto
us, and lie with us.
21 If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a
young man was with thee: and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.
22 Then
Susanna sighed, and said, I am straitened on every
side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not I cannot
escape your hands.
23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than
to sin in the sight of the Lord.
26 So
when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they
rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.
27 But
when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a
report made of Susanna.
28 And
it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband
Joacim, the two elders came also
full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;
29 And
said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's
wife. And so they sent.
30 So
she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred.
32And
these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, (for she was
covered) that they might be filled with her beauty.
33 Therefore
her friends and all that saw her wept.
36 And
the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman
came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.
39 And
when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was
stronger than we, and opened the door, and leaped out.
40 But
having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she
would not tell us: these things do we testify.
41 Then
the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and
judges of the people: so they condemned her to
death.
42 Then
Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting
God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:
43 Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and,
behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have
maliciously invented against me.
45 Therefore
when she was led to be put to death, the
Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:
47 Then
all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these
words that thou hast spoken?
48 So
he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye
such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the
truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?
50 Wherefore
all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto
him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the
honour of an elder.
52 So
when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of
them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen
old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to
light.
53 For
thou hast pronounced false judgment and hast condemned the
innocent and hast let the guilty go free; albeit the Lord saith, The innocent
and righteous shalt thou not slay.
54 Now
then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what
tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree.
55 And
Daniel said, Very well; thou hast
lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.
56 So
he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said
unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee,
and lust hath perverted thine heart.
57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for
fear companied with you: but the daughter of Juda would not abide your
wickedness.
58 Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take them
companying together? Who answered, Under an holm
tree.
59 Then
said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied
against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy
you.
60 With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and
praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.
61 And
they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them
of false witness by their own mouth:
62 And
according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as
they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.
63 Therefore
Chelcias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her
husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.
1Pe 4:3 For the time
past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles,
when we
walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and
abominable idolatries:
1Pe 4:4 Wherein they
think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking
evil of you:
Num 32:23 But if
ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your
sin will find you out.
Luk 8:17 For nothing is
secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be
known and come abroad.
Luk 12:2 For there is
nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid,
that shall not be known.
Luk 12:3
Therefore whatsoever
ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which
ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Ecc 12:14 For God shall
bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or
whether it be evil.
Mat 10:26 Fear
them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and
hid, that shall not be known.
1Co 4:5 Therefore
judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring
to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of
the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Ecclesiasticus 23:19
Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of
the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways
of men, and considering the most secret parts.
Job 34:21 For his eyes are
upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
Job 34:22 There is no
darkness, nor shadow of death, where the
workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Psa 5:5 The foolish
shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
workers of iniquity.
Num 14:11 And the
LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and
how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed
among them?
Rom 6:1 What
shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God
forbid. How
shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye
not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into
his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore
we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been
planted together in the likeness of his death (killing the old man), we shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection (Living as the new man):
Rom 6:6 Knowing
this, that our
old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is
dead (Repentant)
is freed from sin (Death).
Rom 6:12 Let not sin
therefore reign (Rule) in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts
thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither
yield (Give in)
ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness
unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from
the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto
God. (Doing
the service of The Most High)
Rom 6:14 For sin shall
not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the (sacrificial)
law, but under grace.
Rom 6:15 What
then? shall
we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Rom 6:16 Know ye not,
that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom
ye obey; whether of sin unto death (Satan), or of obedience unto righteousness (God)?
Rom 13:13 Let us walk
honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in
chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Rom 13:14 But put
ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts
thereof.
2 Esdras 16:67
Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget
your iniquities, to meddle
no more with them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver
you from all trouble.
Rom 7:14 For we
know that the
law is spiritual (Godly): but I am carnal (fleshly), sold under sin (prone to do evil).
Jer 4:22 For my people is
foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none
understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good
they have no knowledge.
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I
would, that do I not (the thing that I want to do, I’m not doing. I know I’m
supposed to keep the commandments but I’m not.); but what I
hate, that do I (I hate to break
the commandments and God but I find myself just doing it. Why? I’m prone to
doing sin, this flesh I got is making it easy to sin. That’s just what I do.)
Rom 7:16 If then I do
that which I would not (that I don’t
want to do), I consent unto the law that it is good (that the law is
good because that’s the only thing that’s going to keep me from doing what I
truly want to do, the law is good).
Rom 7:17 Now then it
is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth
in me (That’s that old man
that’s still in you, full of sin; yep, he’s fighting!).
Rom 7:18 For I know
that in me (that is, in my flesh,) (my members, my
body, my flesh) dwelleth no good thing (there’s no good in any of us, there’s no good people in
the world unless they’re keeping the commandments. Because we are naturally
evil and prone too evil especially in this captivity; “Sex sales”.):
for to
will is present with me (I know what I’m
supposed to do; at all times); but how to perform that which is good I find not (When you’re living in the flesh, there is nothing that
won’t stop you, unless the commandments of God are dwelling in you and you are
applying them. There is nothing that will stop you when you’re alone with
someone other than your spouse, from pulling the trigger. At that point, you
don’t give a damn about your kids, you ain’t worried about them, not worried
about anybody you gone hurt, at this point your flesh wants that feeling to be
quenched and it’s going to act on it until it gets done. That’s what Paul is
saying.)
Rom 7:19 For the good
that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do (Now, what we’re going through is “The Battle” we’re
having our spirits tested, we’re being proved of God himself. The spiritual
battle vs. the physical battle. Bring the body into subjection and keeping God’s
commandments--not sinning, keeping the laws and getting eternal life—not
lusting, but trying to find somebody to marry, and proving them before we do so.
If you know you’re NOT a ONE woman/man person, you need to fast and pray and
build your spirit up until you are. There’s
nothing worse than bringing your devils into the life of someone who was single
and maybe lonely but at peace in their life and here you come bring chaos and
Demons. DON’T DO IT! Stay single, get yourself together, God’s judgment comes
in many forms; that person may eventually become your executioner; “Thin Line
Between Love and Hate”.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of
sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Rom 7:20 Now if I do
that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:21 I find then
a law, that, when I would do good, evil
is present with me (I know what I’m supposed to do, but I’m still thinking
evil thoughts and I want to act on them.)
Zec 3:1 And he
shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to
resist him.
Zec 3:2 And the LORD
said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD
that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the
fire?
Paul said, “Evil is always present with me.” Yeah, we all
want to keep the commandments and live forever, Satan is right there beside you
tempting you the whole way. When that LUST he done found out you love, comes
up, he whispers in your mind, “Go get her…you’re in the dark…nobody sees
you…tell her don’t say anything and you won’t say anything…nobody knows but
y’all…I’ll make sure I take care of everything for you.” So, Satan is there
beside you but you have someone fighting for you also, which is The Most High;
but you don’t listen to that voice. You turn that completely off, until you
fulfill that lustful urge, then all this shame, guilt and regret comes on you,
“Aww, I shouldn’t have done that, Lord why couldn’t I have just walked away,
said no, controlled myself? I’m in trouble now, oh if they find out, I’m done.”
The Most High was rebuking Satan for you, but you weren’t listening to Him. You
were listening to that other voice; that’s always present with you.
Ecclesiasticus 33:14
Good is
set against evil, and life against death: so is the godly
against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
That’s what’s going on, good is always with you the law
and commandments is there, but best believe evil is right there present with
you, looking for he could devour. Whatever it is that you haven’t purged from
your flesh yet. If you’re doing the same evil things today as you did in the
past before you repented, be honest with yourself, you have not changed. It
could be anger, smoking cigarettes & blunts, watching porn, lying,
talebearers, pedophilia, homosexuality, whore mongering, adultery, lusting, you
used to be a stripper, you want that fast money, drug dealer; Satan is right
there and he is always looking to hem you up.
Example: You know how he does it? He’ll trick you
into keeping somebody’s number in your phone that you know you used to pull
capers with, and you say in your own mind, “One day I’m going to give them the
truth, I’m going to keep them in my phone and send them videos”; that’s Satan.
You’re making provisions for the flesh just in case. You were supposed to cut
them off like Christ said.
Jas 1:13 Let no man
say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot
be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Heb 10:26 For if we sin
wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Jas 1:14 But every man is
tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust
hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth
forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err,
my beloved brethren.
1Co 10:13 There hath
no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to
escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Rom 7:21 I find then
a law, that, when I would do good, evil
is present with me (I know what I’m supposed to do, but I’m still thinking
evil thoughts and I want to act on them.)
Rom 7:22 For I delight in
the law of God after the
inward man:
We all want to please God, on the inward man.
Rom 7:23 But I
see another
law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and
bringing me into captivity to the law of sin (death) which is in my members.
So, what would be the other law that he sees in his
member? Does anybody know what would make him keep doing what he doesn’t want
to do, going back and forth? It’s our
“instincts”, our “impulses” that’s that other law that’s in you. It’s in your
members and warring, back and forth.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man
that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Rom 7:25 I thank
God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God (TMH’s laws); but with the flesh the law of sin (Everyday
put the old man to death).
Eph 4:22 That ye put off
concerning the former conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Eph 4:23 And be renewed
in the spirit of your mind;
Eph 4:24 And that ye put
on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
1Co 15:31 I
protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
Rom 8:5 For they that
are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be
carnally (fleshly)
minded is death; but to be
spiritually (lawfully)
minded is
life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal
mind is enmity (An enemy of/an
adversary to) against God: for it is (lawless, ungovernable, unruly, disruptive, anarchic,
disorderly, rebellious, wild) not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be (Heathenistic).
When you want to fulfill the lust of your flesh, when you
get that urge to do whatever it might be, it’s a whole number of different sins
out there; when you want to fulfill the lust of that flesh—you become the enemy
of God. You’re showing hatred toward God. God has a special gift waiting for
those who hate Him and His enemies.
JUDGMENT TO GOD’S
ENEMIES:
Deu 32:41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on
judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that
hate me.
Deu 7:10 And repayeth
them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him
that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Isa 1:24
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease
me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
Isa 59:18 According to
their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to
his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Isa 66:6 A voice
of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth
recompence to his enemies.
Luk 19:27 But those mine
enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay
them before me.
Rom 8:8 So then they that
are in the flesh cannot please God.
Gal 5:16 This I
say then, Walk
in the Spirit (Rom 7:14)
, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
(Deu 30:19)
Whenever that moment comes, where you have to choose life
or death; like Moses set before us in (Deu 30:15-20) you better go and rely on
the spirit, walk in the spirit (Rom 7:14).
Gal 5:17 For the flesh
lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these
are contrary the one to the other (Can’t walk in
the spirit and the flesh together, can’t do both; you will be tried to see
which side you’re on): so that ye cannot do the things that ye would (that old man that’s still in you, full of sin; yep, he’s
fighting! Satan waiting on you to give him the opportunity).
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led
of the Spirit (Rom 7:14),
ye are
not under the law (Because you’re doing what you are supposed to be doing
according to the law already).
1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use
it lawfully;
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous
man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and
for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of
mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be
any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine
(Prov 4:2);
Gal 5:19 Now the works of
the flesh are manifest, which are
these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness
(a person's evil
covetous behavior that is driven by intense thoughts of sex),
Gal 5:20 Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations
(hatred),
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings,
murders,
drunkenness,
revellings
(clubbing),
and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they
which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers
of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Jo 2:3 And
hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo 2:4 He that
saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the
truth is not in him.
1Jo 2:5 But whoso
keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know
we that we are in him.
1Jo 2:6 He that
saith he abideth in him (Christ)
ought
himself also so to walk, even as he (Christ) walked.
Heb 2:17
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he
might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able
to succour them that are tempted.
Rev 21:7 He that
overcometh (temptation & sins- 1Jo 5:3-4 & 1Jo 2:15) shall
inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
1Jo 5:3 For this is the
love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments
are not grievous.
1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever
is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith (Christ).
1Jo 2:15 Love not the
world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1Jo 2:16 For all that is
in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Jhn 16:33 These things I (Christ) have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good
cheer; I have overcome
the world.
We MUST overcome the lust of our flesh and the lust of
our eyes; the pride of life: adultery, fornication, lying, not knowing how to
treat your brothers, not knowing how to treat your sisters, not knowing how to
treat your wife, not knowing how to treat your husband, not knowing how to reverence
the authority given to him by The Most High, nor take seriously the role
assigned to “you” the wife by the Most High. All these things we must be
taught; cause in order to make it we have to overcome the world. Christ is
coming back for 144,000 carbon copies of himself. So, if Christ overcame the
world, he said “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace.” Why? Because He overcame the world, He gave us the blueprint on how to
do it, right here in this Bible.
Heb 4:15 For we
have not an
high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Christ was tempted in ALL points, yet He did no sin. He
was tested with lust, so there’s no excuse. He paved the way, He gave us a
great example. So, when you think you’re alone and you have no one to lean on,
open up this book, fast and pray also call on proven brothers and sisters
(counselors) in this walk and get support to overcome these fiery trials.
We have a
King who knows how we feel, whose sympathetic to the things you’re going
through and what its like to be human. Christ was tempted with pride and power
yet he stood bold and did no sin.
1Pe 2:21 For even
hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us
an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Co 10:13 There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it.
The Most High knows our breaking point, He will never
allow us to be tempted more than we are able. These trials are never going to be the easy
stuff concerning the outside appearance, it’s always a trial that tests your
inner man, and those deep sins lying dormant in you, the ones you thought you
got away from. Remember, the Most High proves the heart, your inner being. It’s
going to be one of those situations where if you don’t confess it to someone,
only you and the Most High knows, nobody will ever find out what you’re dealing
with. That’s where the Most High will continually try your spirit until every
ounce of that madness is purged from you, then will you be truly worthy of
being His child; righteous and blameless.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is
the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the
crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
That’s why the Most High has to put us through trials and
tribulation; so, at the end your will get eternal life. He’s not like giving
that up to just anybody who can’t control themselves that think they can get
away with evil when they think nobody’s looking at them, in the dark. That old
man right there,” Maybe God won’t see my evil when I walk through the gates.”
Sirach 23:19 Such
a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand
times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the
most secret parts.
Jas 4:7 Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you. (Quote the laws aloud and the devil will flee)
Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to
God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and
purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say
when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil,
neither tempteth he any man:
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived,
it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err,
my beloved brethren.
Sirach 21: 1 My son, hast
thou sinned? do so no
more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
Sirach 21: 2 Flee from
sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the
teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying
the souls of men.
Sirach 21:3 All iniquity
is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.
Luk 4:1 And Jesus being
full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness,
Luk 4:2 Being forty
days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing:
and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
Luk 4:13 And when
the devil
had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Sirach 18: 30 Go not after
thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.

thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to
thine enemies (Close family
& Friends) that malign thee.
1Co 9:27 But I keep under
my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have
preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
2Co 13:5 Examine
yourselves (Align yourself with the scriptures), whether ye be in the
faith; prove
your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that
Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates (void of judgment, no understanding)?
Isa 61:8 For I the LORD
love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will
direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Mat 23:23 Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and
anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law,
(omitting)
judgment,
mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone (you
should have judged the people).
Lev 19:15 Ye shall do
no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the
person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in
righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
Psa 119:172 My
tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
1Co 5:1 It is
reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as
is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have
his father's wife.
1Co 5:2 And ye
are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might
be taken away from among you.
1Co 5:3 For I
verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were
present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
1Co 6:2 Do ye not
know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world
shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co 6:5 I speak to
your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you?
no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
1Co 5:4 In the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit,
with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Co 5:5 To deliver
such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that
the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Gal 5:20 Idolatry,
witchcraft,
hatred,
variance,
emulations,
wrath,
strife,
seditions,
heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings,
murders,
drunkenness,
revellings
(partying),
and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Jhn 7:24 Judge
not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgment.
Pro 31:9 Open thy
mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and
needy.
THE WILLINGNESS TO
FIGHT TEMPTATION
Rom 15:4 For whatsoever
things were written aforetime were written for our learning,
that we
through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Eze 33:31 And they come
unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people,
and they
hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their
mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Eze 33:32 And,
lo, thou
art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can
play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them
not.
Eze 33:33 And when this
cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall
they know that a prophet hath been among them.
1Pe 2:11 Dearly
beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war
against the soul;
1Pe 2:12 Having your
conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak
against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they
shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Jas 4:2 Ye lust, and
have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye
fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
1Co 10:13 There hath
no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you
to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a
way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Ecc 4:9 Two are better than one; because
they have a good reward for their labour.
Ecc 4:10 For if they
fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe
to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him
up.
Ecc 4:11 Again, if two lie
together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
Ecc 4:12 And if
one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold
cord is not quickly broken. (The more the merrier)
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be
vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist
stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in
your brethren that are in the world.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh
lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these
are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would.
Gal 5:16 This I
say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:18 But if
ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the (sacrificial) law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of
the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness,
lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry,
witchcraft,
hatred,
variance,
emulations,
wrath,
strife,
seditions,
heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings,
murders,
drunkenness,
revellings
(partying),
and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Pro 25:28 He that hath
no rule over his own spirit is
like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Rom 8:5 For they that
are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that
are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For to be
carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace.
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal
mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that
are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not
in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in
you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none
of his.
2Pe 2:7 And
delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

2:1 My son, if thou come to
serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation.
Sirach 2:2 Set thy
heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble.

dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she
may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.

thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.
MARRIAGE

man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.
Ecc 7:29 Lo, this
only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they
have sought out many inventions.
Gen 2:21 And the
LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one
of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Gen 2:22 And the
rib, which the
LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her
unto the man.
Gen 2:23 And Adam
said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she

Deu 1:13 Take you
wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make

Deu 1:15 So I

thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains
over tens, and officers among your tribes. (Spiritual Leaders & Judges)

your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren,
and judge
righteously between every man and
his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your
souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it
with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Pro 28:13 He that
covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them
shall have mercy.
Heb 13:16 But to do good
and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Gal 2:20 I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the
faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Gal 2:21 I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the
law, then Christ is dead in vain.

beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.

According to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to
my trust.
1Ti 1:12 And I thank
Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted
me faithful, putting me into the ministry; (God gave you the
Understanding of the Bible & who you are)
We Are His Favorite:
2Esd
5:23 And said, O Lord that
bearest rule, of every wood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast
chosen thee one only vine:
2Esd 5:24 And of all lands
of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit (Canaan/Israel): and of all the flowers thereof one lily:
2Esd 5:25 And of all the
depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one river (Jordan): and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed
Sion unto thyself (Jerusalem):
2Esd 5:26 And of all the
fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove: and of all the
cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep:
2Esd 5:27 And among all
the multitudes of people thou hast gotten thee one people (12 Tribes of Israel): and unto this people, whom thou lovedst,
thou gavest a law that is approved of all.
What About the Other
People?
2Esd 6:54 And after these,
Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come
we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.
2Esd 6:55 All
this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes
2Esd 6:56 As for the
other people, which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing,
but be
like unto spittle: and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth
from a vessel.
2Esd 6:57 And
now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing,
have
begun to be lords over us, and to devour us.
Who Does the Law
Belong to?
Psa 78:5 For he
established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their
children:
Psa 147:19 He sheweth
his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Psa 147:20 He hath not
dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have
not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
2 Esdras 3:36
Thou shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy precepts; but not the heathen.
We Must Fear, Honor
and Obey Our Holy Father:
Mal 1:6 A son
honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is
mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith
the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye
say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
1Ti 1:13 Who was
before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained
mercy, because I did it ignorantly in
unbelief.
1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was
exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1Ti 1:15 This is
a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners;
of whom I am chief.
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit
for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might
shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter
believe on him to life everlasting.

faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

mercy on them that receive discipline,
and that diligently
seek after his judgments.
Heb 4:12 For the word of
God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even
to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints
and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart

If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first
and be not hasty to credit him.

is sweet to a whoremonger, he will not leave off till he die.

of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,
murders,
Mar 7:22 Thefts,
covetousness,
wickedness,
deceit,
lasciviousness,
an evil
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mar 7:23 All these evil
things come from within, and defile the man.
Ecclesiasticus 5:3
And say not, Who
shall controul me for my works (pay me back)? for the Lord
will surely revenge thy pride.

have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is
longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.

not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins:
for mercy
and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.

Make no tarrying
to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the
wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed,
and perish in the day of vengeance.
Ecclesiasticus 23:19
Such a
man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord
are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding
all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts.

the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things
that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Tobit 6:12 And
the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her
father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I
know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but
he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather
appertain to thee than to any other.
Tobit 6: 13 Then
the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid
hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.
Tobit 6:14 And
now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her,
I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no
body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die and bring
my father's and my mother's life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for
they have no other son to bury them.
Tobit 6:16 And
when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of
perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and
shalt make a smoke with it:
Tobit 6:17 And the devil
shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more:
but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is
merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee
from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall
go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when
Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually
joined to her.

peace.

The grace
of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten
his bones.
Ecclesiasticus 26:24
A dishonest woman contemneth shame: but an honest woman will reverence her husband.
1Co 7:34 There is
difference
also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the
things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit:
but she
that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her
husband.
Ecclesiasticus 26:26

Job 36:10 He
openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from
iniquity.

holy spirit of discipline will flee
deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding,
and will
not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.
Baruch 4:13 They knew
not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments,
nor trod
in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.

For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and
dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline,

mercy on them that receive discipline,
and that
diligently seek after his judgments.

not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance:
for ye
were made sorry after a godly manner
(Hear the Scripture & change),
that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow
worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow
of the world worketh death.
LET'S GET SALVATION:

behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do,
that I may have eternal life?

crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
