1 Peter 4:3
For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.NASB95
I take this as a direct word from the Lord for me today. As I was praying, I hear 1st Peter so that is what I read this morning. When I got here I just stopped, because it was evident what He was trying to say to me.
Blessings to you today and the Freedom you walk in.
While I was praying this morning I hear "Malachi" So I immediately I think about tithing, but that was not it. When I got to verse 4.2 I knew where he was wanting me "Fear of the Lord" That seems to be a re-occurring theme in my life. So what I see here is the healing …. The root of the major issue in my life or really should I say, any issues in my life will be healed when I start walking in Fear of the Lord. It is really very simple. I choose to make it hard. At least that is what I think. So when I am healed I will be as happy as a calf that has been cooped up in a stall for a year and is finally released into freedom! So once again it is about choice.
Malachi 4:2
"But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. NASB95
Romans 13:14
but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.NKJV
Really spoke to me this morning. To continue to walk this out. To me this is just a continuation of what he said Monday morning. He must increase so that I decrease. Today I must stay focused. This is a warning that something is coming so I need to be alert
Ephesians 4:20-24
But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. NKJV.. This is who I am a New man ……. Amen
Then the Lord laid this passage on my heart as I am writing. I must stay focused On Who I Am! A son of the most high God. Thank you Jesus. It is all about the thoughts ….. The stinking thinking.
James 1:15
Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.NKJV
As I was praying this morning about why I do things the way I do. Wanting to go to places that I should not, or go to places that I should not. What is it that is the driving force behind the lust? I still don't know. As I was reading and I got to John 3.30 this verse really stood out to me. Maybe I don't rely on Him as much as I think I do. I does not say that I must decrease so He will increase it says just the opposite. As He increases, I will decrease. I can't decrease own my own.
John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease. NKJV
