The Lust of the EYES....

Through the eyes' gate, lust, covetousness, enter the heart and poison it ~ be careful little eyes what you see even godly men or not so godly ones gave into the lust of their heart: (David stared a little too long at another man's wife, Ahab stared a little too long at another man's property and one thing led to an......other and the ultimate recourse was: cold blooded MURDER....

eliminate the "OBSTACLE" and feed the cravings of the flesh)

... STRATEGY in order to overcome : Matthew 26:41

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." ...... See More

and while at it.....put on the full ARMOR OF GOD!!!...

Unsolved Issues......

How does a person know that she has been healed emotionally from a painful experience, How does she know that she is OVER a hurt from the past if she just suppresses that chapter of her life rather than addressing it or will it all go away if she just closes the book…? Though Jacob was running from his brother (after h...e deceitfully usurped his Birthright/stole his blessing) but at some point, he had to face him...

make amends and find closure…

Joseph (yet….Prince of Egypt) but deep inside were the scars of that young boy sold into slavery and one day he had to be face to face with those who meant to harm him and be free:

The message: RECONCILIATION…... ......

How can someone move on wile dragging a baggage of hurt and pain ..
How can someone move on with some unsolved issues....

FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US.... (It's possible THROUGH Christ who Strengthens us...)

Talking about Roller Coaster....

The children of Israel were on a spiritual Roller Coaster, one day they were all about the God of their forefathers and the next they would go after false gods, they gave Moses a run for his money as they journeyed in the wilderness and when Joshua got on the scene, he was not gonna put up for long with their indecisive and double minded attitude ~ ENOUGH was ENOUGH.. "choose you this day whom ye will serve;whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD."

A Promise!!!

This couple had a PROMISE from the Almighty
and a long time went by and nothing happened....
Did God forget about them?
and maybe that question crossed Sarah's mind more than once,
as she looked in the mirror
and tried to remember what she used to be like when she was young, bold and beautiful...
and now what??? how would she carry that seed in her old age...

Not to worry Sarah, you will rock your baby to sleep,because the One who made the promise is faithful!!!
