So here is a thought what if every temptation and sin you struggle with is actually a part of your calling? Do you struggle with lying? maybe you were called to speak the truth, Do you struggle with smoking? maybe your lungs were meant for worship and prayer. Do you deal with lust? maybe you have the capacity for intimacy and love. are you timid and shy away from challenges? maybe you were called to be a leader well that last one is more of a quirk but you get the idea

Think of any temptation or sin you can think of now imagine the counter part of that sin or temptation think of any weakness you have and now imagine the calling that counters that weakness.

Something to think about don't you think?

Dr. Caroline Leaf has taught that most people don't think about what they think about.

Interesting: Sin itself began at temptation, that got placed on Eve. noting Adam was right there with her, when she was tempted
The Temptation took her away and she ate. She did not die right away, and so Adam ate also.
Man ran away and hid, tried to clothe themselves and wanted for God to not know, what they did.
Temptation been going on since (Temptation)
Whether one or anyone's reactions or actions are right or wrong, is not the issue.
The issue is temptation, what? Okay, you are said to not lie, and you lie or have lied, for whatever reason. A Lie is a Lie is it not, regardless
You get told not to look at the opposite sex and lust for the opposite sex. What do people do anyways?
Today all this is under Law to not do, and what do we, people do or have done?
Does, sin take occasion by the commandment? Romans 7 is deeper than the Mississippi River. & ends with "I" can't do it, at least me, only God can and did, moving forward to Chapter 8:1-3
If anyone reading this is under the control of Law and does not obey it, hides what they are doing or even have done, are in the same as Adam and Eve did you think?
You know not to lust, yet do you, because you know not to, by the tempting of doing it. Is that not what happened to Eve, she got tempted and saw to eat from that tree as good, it was calling her name, and so she ate and then saw, she. messed up, along with Adam. They hid
I know my present and past, future I cannot predict, and if I go into future as this world tries to, then I get messed up, anyone else? Trying not to do, sets anyone up for failure, or pride if one is able to do it.
All past sin for anyone, remains forgiven from God as soon as it is past. How soon is any sin anyone does past? And I see I cannot obey Law perfect as Son did over 2,000 years ago now, done once for everyone to turn from trying to do love and mercy all by themselves
Anarchy is no belief to God and remain free to choose is Anarchy
To choose belief to God, and have lost free choice is Tyranny
God is not Anarchy or Tyranny
God loves us so deeply, one choose to hear from God and be freed in God doing it through them, what they now know they can't do. where Temptation is removed by God for them eventually
Now, today, there are many others on their way to break through this truth too. God knows when, where, how for each of us
I am not bragging or saying I got it, God does for us all to rest in thanksgiving and praise with all sin taken away as far as the east is from the west. Us, me, you or others, get in the way of the done work of God for them to see new (It is all God's love for you too) by trying to do Law and be righteous in front of others, I have failed tooooo many times, time to get my mind changed and Father is doing it, done it and does it fro us all to learn new in truth, it is not me or you, it is God for you

Let go, trust God, God did it for us all to be new in love and mercy to all too, thank you Father and Son as Won (One)

Yes sin and temptation are always crouching at the door but if we try to fight it by our own efforts we will always fail 100 percent of the time. The blessing Christ gave us is that no matter the sin no matter the failings no matter how many times we fall he just keeps saying to us you are forgiven and I am angry not at you but the lie youi believed that your sins could ever make me not love you

The devil can only tempt us and he loves to make us feel dirty and unworthy but in Christ we are met only with love and mercy patience and understanding he knew every sin we would make every temptation we would fall prey to and yet even so he says rest in me believe in me and let me do all the work for you
