. The lie is to believe that you can be a child of God and continue to do the same things you did before. When you are born again, your spirit is made alive to the things of God, but your flesh still craves the same things it did before. Now that you are born again, you must bring your body under submission to the word of God. In order for this to happen, you must be transformed by having your mind renewed. This happens when you begin to feed your spirit with the word of God. The more you feed your spirit the less your flesh will rule. Remember we were born in sin and with a sinful nature. This tell us that we are capable of anything that the bible declares as sinful including homosexuality, fornicators, pedophiles, adulterers, backbiters, slanderers, thieves, liars, beastiality, envy, etc. etc. That’s why Paul declares there is no good thing in my flesh. Therefore, a constant war is going on between the flesh and the spirit. Our flesh is control by our feelings, but our spirit is quickened (made alive) by your faith in God’s Son Jesus. Who took on all our sins and nail them to the cross that our slate may be clean, but your mind has not been renewed to this and therefore the flesh still continue to fight to have its way. It took faith to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour though you haven’t seen Him in the flesh and believe that His death can free you from all your sins. However, you did not do this on your own. The bible tells us to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Let Him have His way.

You know don't you? You know what they have done in his name and why. How do you not weep?

You know don't you? You know what they have done in his name and why. How do you not weep? I do cry. When I think how God showed His love for us and gave us His only son to break satan's bondage and yet we can still insist on choosing our own way, yes it makes me sad when I make his death of no effect. Look how countless souls are choosing their own way because of pride (I feel,think, believe, want, it about "I". Pride goes before destruction. Like Naaman, he was leprous but was too proud to go and dip into the muddy Jordan river, but when the handmaiden told him, if he (the Prophet) had told you to do something grand would he not have done so? He swallowed pride and went and dipped and was healed. It's all about being made whole again. There will always be voids, tormentors, and despair in a life outside of Christ. That the reason we have so many dope fiends trying to medicated the conscious until they are numb, but when they come down He is still there, but not if we continue to reject Him. He will give us over to our desires.

Also always reminded that a camel is a horse designed by committee Look after yourself True Ezekiel 2:8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious people; open your mouth and eat what I give you." Ezekiel 3:1 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel." Ezekiel 3:3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.

Psalm 2. 1. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
