Good morning! How are we faithing? We all battle our own desires. Some are proper and justified, some not. Some things that get in the way of holiness living are just flesh junk and some are not. The enemy uses our flesh desires as a weapon against us. We can overcome our desires with the Spirits guidance. Lots of times we don't even realize things are bad for us until we are bound by them. Anything we desire can become an idol in our lives. Anything can consume our every waking thought. I've been there. You've been there. Some are still there. Here's a litmus test for all our desires,"What place does this desire hold inside me." Be honest with yourself and take the appropriate action or get the appropriate help.
Romans 6:12-14
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body that you should obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
NAS
Romans 13:12-14
Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.
NAS
1 Peter 4:6
For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.
NAS
1 Peter 1:22-25
Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God. For,
"All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
And the flower falls off,
But the word of the Lord abides forever. "
And this is the word which was preached to you.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that does everything. Thank you for revealing your Word in everything we do. Lord we lift those mentioned and those not, to us this morning. Grant us wisdom and courage to act, think and be your servants. Help us recognise hurtful things in and around us. Lord we love you and do try to be honorable people for you but we stumble. We ask your touch on our life today, in Jesus name, amen
