James 1:12-15

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall
receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love
him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God
cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is
tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when
lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death.
1 Peter 2:11
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Galatians 5:17-24
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and
these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye
would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the
works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders,
drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I
have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not
inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts.

Did you catch that……...they that are Christ’s “HAVE” crucified the flesh!

Galatians 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting.

What do you want, corruption? Or life everlasting?

LUST BEGINS IN THE HEART

THAT’S WHERE IT GETS ITS START.

WHEN WE SOW THOSE SEEDS OF LUST INSIDE

WE WILL NOT REAP LIFE FROM ON HIGH

SOWING TO THE FLESH BRINGS DEATH AND SORROW

SOWING TO THE SPIRIT BRINGS US HOPE FOR TOMORROW.
