What You Love May Be Your Own Lust

Too many folks lying on GOD by calling their lustful and selfish decisions a "blessing". For them, it doesn't matter whose life they affect, whose hearts they break, whose families they destroy, whose marriage they help tear apart; who they lie on, cheat on, steal from, and the list goes on. All that is cared about is what is "wanted" as the enemy magnifies the "lack" in their life. So, they plunge forward without ever really counting the cost.

BUT NO! GOD is not messy like that! HE doesn't give BIRTH to the chaos we create in our own lives and is definitely NOT the Father of it either. You won't have need for a Maury Povich DNA testing because the fruit that spawns as a result will be a clear indication that GOD IS NOT THE FATHER. For the LORD brings ORDER, RESTORATION, and HEALING, not division and confusion. For GOD is never the author of confusion but of peace according to 1 Corinthians 14:33.

Be careful what you allow yourself to "fall in love with". The love of GOD is first pure and will never lead you away from the heart of His WORD.

The "thing" you yield yourself to all in the name of love has a high price and can be the very thing the devil will use to subdue you. Seek the LORD wholeheartedly and be very WATCHFUL because the ONLY THING you are suppose to yield to is His WORD.

Samson "loved" the wrong thing. It cost him his sight, his freedom, and eventually, his life. He was deceived into thinking that he could "shake" himself as he always did - you know how we do - still go to church, preach, play, sing, and lead on the worship team, dance team, etc. But what he failed to realize is that what he "loved" was out of the will of GOD and IT became a snare unto him.

Sadly, Scriptures recounts that the spirit of the LORD was no longer with him as he shook himself as he had done in times past to defeat his enemies. Samson thought that he could live how he wanted and still move in the "blessing" of the LORD.

How many of us are "shaking" ourselves today? Preaching but there's no anointing, singing but there's no power, worshiping but there's no truth?

Keep playing with sin and eventually it will burn you. Numbers 32:23 says "and be sure your sin will find you out". Sin will SEPARATE you from GOD, his love, his strength, and all that is good and then leave you EXPOSED!

Sin has plans for you, but first it must lure you into making you feel comfortable to trust and relaxed enough to lay down like a dog. At the end, it will make you its master when it finds you sleeping in his lap. ~2013 Daily Doses of Gospel PiLLs 


Scriptures to Mediate on:
Judges 16:4-5
Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah. The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, "See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver."

1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

A Biblical Glimpse of True Friendship

There is a commitment that is conceived in the true skirts of faithful servanthood and birthed within the purging fires of GOD's divine plan.

Do you know that there are gate keepers purposely assigned to sabotage the mission of GOD on your life? Although David had enemies who schemed and plotted against him, the LORD always kept him one step ahead. You see, everything they thought David NEVER KNEW, GOD allowed to be revealed without his enemies having any idea.

When you have killed giants and people begin to sing songs about you, it will spark jealousies filled with enough envy and hatred that they will seek a way to kill you.

The "killing" may not necessarily be a physical one like in David and Jonathan's day but it is a killing or "snuffing out" of your message, your calling, movement, influence, power, anointing, expansion, and ministry. It is a warrant sent to stop and keep you from ever advancing.

But the true character of a man is tested and will always surface to the top especially during the fiery times of adversity. And even though pretentiousness paraded cloaked and masked underneath the seams of false friendship, lying lips, and crooked smiles, the LORD gave Jonathan and David insight, wisdom, and favor even when the odds were stacked against them. David's enemies and their corrupted plans were exposed each time as the LORD provided a way of escape for him.

Jonathan's life gives us a Biblical glimpse and insight of what friendship and loyalty really means. The Bible says that Jonathan loved David and he placed his own life and position at risk to defend him. Why? Because that was who he was. He was a just man whose righteous character surfaced during a time where great betrayals, greed, lust for power, and faux camaraderie reigned.

This type of friendship, though a rare commodity, can be found in Christ. For there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

He's Too Close If He's Whispering In Your Ear

The enemy has a subtle way of whispering sweet "nothings" into spiritually lax ears. If you are desperate enough, you will believe anything as the fruit of his love extends to you in sultry and tantalizing shiny reds. 

His words are really comforting, soothing, and mesmerizing. They will speak everything your thirsty and dessicated soul wants to hear. His fallacious words are smothered with pride and lust causing you to crave the forbidden and that which the LORD has said, “Do not touch”. Oh, how his words are extravagant, as he promises you a world he does not own.

Sadly, at the end of the sweetness will follow a bitter jolt of regrettable consequences. At the end of the bite, the sting of deception that has infiltrated into your soul will leave you blind and naked; opened and exposed to the elements; uncovered in your shame. Its poison that has streamlined into your soil has arrived in all its brutality to spoil the vines of vision, beauty and anything pure.

Once you have been inoculated with his DNA, the poisonous worm spreads to catapult you straight outside the will of GOD, and before you can blink, you are on the "other side" of everything you were once against.

Eventually, you will find yourself making excuses for your behavior like Adam and Eve. You blame others for your dead-end experiences while never once given thought to the damage that was caused by the work of your own hand.

Oh, if only man would listen to the instructions of the Father. Oh, if man would only take heed to the call of repentance. Oh, if only man would yield to the grace that was spread as far as the east is from the west. Oh, if only man would surrender to the will of GOD. Oh, if man would turn from their wicked ways.

But disobedience has glossed the lips of man, numbing the spiritual senses. For each man is tempted when he is carried away of his own lust and enticed. You see, it was your lust that was already in you that has emerged and now parading in all of its glory. Yes, the one you refuse to crucify, repent of, confess, and put away from you has now smitten you.

And so, when your lust has captivated and consumed you, it lays down with temptation and you become impregnated giving birth to sin. That sin grows inside you produces the greatest depression, division, and disorder in your life until the results that can be seen is death – the death of your marriage, death of your integrity, death of your virtue, death of relationships, and the death of all that was once pure and beautiful.

He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
