SCRIPTURE UNDERSTANDING:
”Delight yourself in Yahuah, and he will give you the desires of your heart”.
”You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek me with all your heart”.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied”.
”Yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of Yahuah and find the knowledge of Alahim”.
”No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. Yahuah is trustworthy, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it”.
“Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarrelling and jealousy, but put on Messiah Yahusha and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires”.
As we can see, human beings were created to desire and seek pleasure and connection, however this was all satisfied in the garden between the man, woman and Creator through marriage portal connection. It was perfectly handled and balanced in His Divine Love. Then mankind chose the ENEMY'S WAY OF SELF-LOVE and were disconnected from divine life, destined to hunger and thirst, lust and desire after worldly pleasures for the rest of their existence. The enemy is running rampant on this planet, spreading his seeds of filth into everyone, but those who’ve stepped out of this base-existence, into the HIGHER CALLING OF DELIVERANCE now have the power within them to reject the worldly forms of pleasure, instead hungering and thirsting after the righteousness, clean, clear conscience and joyous existence that Yahusha provides.
Desire is normal, lust isn’t a bad thing - but what will you focus it towards, the flesh or the spirit? YOU ARE THE CHOOSER !
We cannot be a mixture of both, we are either hot or cold, for anything else Yahusha will spew from His mouth. Friendship with the world makes us Yahusha’s enemy and the downward spiral of bad behaviour from having worldly desires will drive us insane and into very severe consequences. Yahusha has opened the door ... which life will we choose?
What is it you desire?
Is it healthy (of Yahusha)?
