SUPPOSE GOD HAS PLANTED A DESIRE IN OUR HEART, HOW CAN WE COMBAT TEMPTATION OR IMPURE THOUGHTS WHILE SINGLE?I NEED YOUR IDEAS REGARDING THIS ISSUES.
The battle is quite simple. Flesh is not right with God ever?
So what is right with God today?
[h=3]Galatians 5:16-26[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[h=3]Walking in the Spirit[/h][SUP]
16 [/SUP]I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. [SUP]
17 [/SUP]For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. [SUP]
18 [/SUP]But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[SUP]
[a][/SUP] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, [SUP]
20 [/SUP]idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, [SUP]
21 [/SUP]envy, murders,[SUP]
[b][/SUP] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told
you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [SUP]
23 [/SUP]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. [SUP]
24 [/SUP]And those
who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. [SUP]
25 [/SUP]If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
May be ask God and believe God to show you the difference of flesh and Spirit of God
Romans 1-5 is a good explanation to you from God
If that doesn't bring it across then romans 6-8, re explains a little differently, yet the same point is we are to be dead to flesh by dying to flesh and then being alive to the Spirit of God which is the only way to serve God today
John 4:23
But the hour is coming,
and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in
spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
John 4:24 God
is Spirit,
and those who worship Him must worship in
spirit and truth.”
It is your choice, how do you want to live? in the same flesh with the same upbringing of flesh? Or a new in God's Spirit where the new life is from God by the resurrected Christ in God's Spirit
Sounds to me as you have made the choice? So how does one enact that Choice, by trusting God or self to do this? one gives pride the other humility.
