Going to work harder to not make no more provisions for the flesh..............sometimes I'll alot 1 or two things for myself aka "provisions for the flesh" IT'S A TERRIBLE THING I NEED TO STOP DOING AND WANT TO STOP DOING
Romans 13:14 "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." recently I bought a little silver bracelet w/a silver heart charm attached...................to remind myself to love people............I really need to quit buying jewelry for like good. Tonight I listened to this sermon pretty 100% this one
I never really put that much thought into the whole idea of "lasciviousness" before which I take to mean walking lot's in the lusts of the flesh
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lasciviousness.................Jude 1:4 "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."
also these verses...........2 Peter 2:18-20 "For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning."
Before I heard that sermon tonight I was thinking about buying a wig, I rethought that there idea.......................I though think there are things we can buy while following jesus but surely I don't want to be in some "free for all" some "lasciviousness" um athon................the world not being friends with it, if your not going to be friends with it, or you don't want to be friends with it.................................I think the world is about the lusts of the flesh...............
1 John 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." I have a horrible time not letting myself be influenced by the world............I like nice things...................but at the same time I do absolutely
not want to be a friend with the world IT IS BETTER I PARTAKE IN THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT WALK LIKE THIS WORLD NOT WALK IN LASCIVIOUSNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the year 2022 when I updated this blog post
Russia is bombing Ukraine...............
LOVE
