The sentence has come in on Jerry Sandusky. He got 30 to 60 years in prison. He will now die in prison. This is the result of a lust fire that got out of control. It started as a spark and turned into an inferno. Remember in Job 31:12 NLT. “It’s is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own.” I know someone at work last week got fired because of lustful acts and content. He was here at the job for 16 years. However, because he let the fire of lust get out of control, it cost him his job. There are hundreds of people in jail, prison or dealing with legal problems because of some form of lust. Keep in mind, my series has been on sexual lust. You can have lust for power, money, drugs, alcohol and control among other types. Saints, LUST DESTORYS. Lust is the works of satan.
There are some of you right now who are committing lustful
acts. It started out being innocent; however satan has corrupted this
relationship. You’re having lustful conversations and engaging in lustful
behavior. You’re going out to eat, movies or any other social event. You must remember that satan is a liar and
deceptive. You may get the feeling deep down inside that this is wrong.
However, you continue with this type of behavior. You may be doing it behind
his or her back. You may have told your spouse about it and said you won’t do
it anymore. Yet, you still continue to do it. You are literally playing with
fire. Sooner or later someone is going to get burnt. Someone is going to get
hurt. Somebody is going to suffer. It may not be right away, but I can guarantee
you that it will come.
Here’s the main problem when you keep this type of lust in
your life. It gets into your heart and mind and you start to serve it. You
start getting more involved with the other person physically, mentally and
emotionally. You start thinking about the person you’re in lust with more than
the one you’re in love with. It will
start to affect your feelings, behavior and actions. Your spirits starts to
become one. If you’re married, you’ll be one with your spouse and one with the
other person you are involved with. 1st
Corinthians 6:16 NIV it states “Do you not know that he who unites himself with
a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one
flesh.” You will never be satisfied
with both. Your spouse won’t be satisfied and the person your involved with
won’t be satisfied. This is exactly what satan wants: conflict, chaos and
confusion. The results will be damage, devastation and destruction. Lust never satisfies it only consumes.
It may feel right. This person has more money, more stable,
good looking etc…. They understand me better than my spouse does. You better
beware and watch out. This is satan at work. If you’re involved in a lustful
relationship and you feel you are getting away with something you’re not. You
don’t get away with anything when it comes to God. God is not keeping this
relationship together with you. You and satan are keeping it together. This is
who you’re serving when you allow lust to control you. Despite of all this, you have the power
through God to overcome this. You can stop this lustful act before it’s too
late. You can recover from this. Let’s now go to the God U Said Verse of the
day.
In Matthew 5: 27 and
28 NIV it states “You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit
adultery. But I tell you that anyone who
looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his
heart.” This is why lust is so dangerous and something that you can’t play
with. Most of us have committed adultery according to this statement by Jesus.
According to this, you don’t commit adultery simply by just sleeping with
someone else. Just by looking at someone
lustfully, you commit adultery in your heart. This is why you have to keep lust
out of your heart. You have to ask God for forgiveness and move on. You can’t
give lust life by letting it live in your mind and your heart. Here’s your
phrase of today with lust spelled backwards.
T-They
S-Suffer
U-U
L-Lose
Remember, they will suffer because of your lust and you are
going to lose something. Please stop before it’s too late. You have the power
to stop lust from taking control. The problem is that we have is that we don’t
know about our power and potential. Well, you are getting ready to find learn
about that. Next time we are going to flick on the power and potential in your
life. Until then may God bless you and keep you.
