Desire

Our desires fight against God, because they do not and cannot obey God's laws.

- The Bible

Desire is such a multi-pronged word - from the lustful, sexual desire it could mean anything neighbouring the desire to purchase a kitten and bring it up! Whatever desires we have, they tend to draw us away from what our Lord wants us to do. In most cases, the desire itself may not be the sin, but pursuing that desire would lead us to sin.

Romans chapter 8 verses 1-17 talk about living by the power of the Spirit. Jesus Christ walking on this earth as a perfect human, and being a sinless sacrifice has defeated the power that sin holds over us - we're free to walk the earth, as we will. We are free from sin. But this freedom is found only in the Lord. It's freely given to all who believe; so simply let's believe and we'll have the ability to use the power found in Jesus to fight our own desires and be captivated by the awesome plans that He holds for us, in our future.

God bless you all,

Amen.
