LUST.

Bible text:James 1:12-17 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.
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:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Many people have been taken in a different ways,why becus of the lust of the eye,the lust of the flesh and the pride of life the bible tell us not to love the word and the things thereof God knew that if this boy or girl love the world it going to drive out the love of the father .no wonder the when the devil came to Jesus he took physical weakness for spiritual one when he had tempt Jesus and see that this man will not have his time he left why because he his born of God.many have falling into trap!however you need to exercise caution if you do not want to fall pray to the devil.
What are the trap the devil use to get hold of someone.

1:pleasure: those things you love to do sooner or later,they can become the very things the tempter will use in enticing you.example a man who formally is a smoker but when he meet Christ and desired to follow him must run away from environment were smoker stay to much why because as soon as he give his life to Christ the devil will have to look for so many ways to deal with get hold of him.the bible text tell us that temptation start with us:they emanated from what we have secretly or openly long for.some people nurse some unvoiced thoughts and ideas and do not really care.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
For those who will not run from the danger zone the devil can easily enter through their thought and also set them up to reveal exactly what is in their heart,and there after they are confronted with temptation. Example esua who love good food but was used against him that same food he loved so much that the devil decided to use against him and by that he lost his destiby, and he fell for it,if secretly love someone that is not your wife the devil know how to play things to get you because you are battling with sexual list or some form of immortality.

2:Men are drawn to their own lust thought:list pulls one in to problem how I will tell you a short story of this man of God,he was a very powerful man of God but the spirit of lust is in him but he believe so mush in himself that he can never fornicate low and behold a beautiful sister joined the choir divorced and she being to sing in his church before he could know it began to hold extra meeting in order to help this woman but he fail to tell his wife be for he knows what was happing he had fell in love with this woman in the next two day he had slept with the woman why because he allow the back door to be open for the devil most of us always believe we can eat posing with the holyspirt inside of us when God knowns that you open your eye wide and you work into the lion den all by your self he will not do anything this pastor work right into the devil den with is eye open.so list can kill one dream.

3:Run away from the spirits of materialism.if you lust after money as a man of God and you being to preash those that preash on the alter must eat from the alter them you will one day betary people that love you the bible say first seek the kingdoom and his rightfulness and every other thing shall be added to you.If you allow that spirit to enter you will find your self in a situation were you will sell out your Owen salvation because of money like Judas Iscariot and Joseph brother did.

My question is what do you secretly after?if you ignore it,you will later regret it when the tempter comes knocking.

What do I do to escape from that spirit.

1:prayer is the master key for braking every strong of the devil.be ready to tell God what you are passing through he his your father tell him he his ready to answer you today.prayerfully keep your thoughts in check and closely monitor what you allow in your heart.

2:Do every thing to love those thing that are good according to Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

3:feed your mind with the words of God,avoid the tendency for a build up by resisting the subtle lure of lust.

In conclusions
If anyone is suffering from the spirit of list I bet it with you if you can apply this principle you will be free from fornication and also make your wife your best friend that is why God has given her to you don't be like that pastor I have just told you be open to your wife she will be able to pray for you.God belss steemitchurch.I love you.
