A CHILD-LIKE FAITH - Part two

Please read part one before reading this.


The enemy (with the help of the MEDIA and ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY) has so degraded that which is BEAUTIFUL in God's eyes to something so cheap and dirty and some men even tend to only see the opposite sex as sex tools to consume their lust (forgetting that WOMEN are FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE and taken out of us -go read genesis again). SEX sells like water and if a movie does not have a sex scene, that movie is not complete. This is SCARY!!! I'm being led to write about MASTURBATION/PORNOGRAPHY and the battles MEN face but that will be in due season. There is also an article God put in my heart titled THE MIND OF A MAN (contrary to the title, this is directed towards women. Hint, the way you treat yourself is the way any man will treat you. If you sell yourself cheap, you will always be cheap in a man's eyes. If you lure men to you by dressing scantly and exposing parts of your body that should be hidden, the only men you will attract are men that will lust after you and once they have sex with you, THAT IS THE END OF THE RELATIONSHIP. Haven't you noticed that most guys that play around, when they are ready to GET MARRIED always go to look for their partners in church or for ladies that they can respect? Just a little food for thought) but that will also come in due season. It is time for us CHRISTIANS to become REAL and stop pretending that these things are not happening around us and even in our midst while the enemy uses it to keep us in BONDAGE. Sincerely speaking, how many of us can actually say that they have experienced the TRUE LIBERTY that comes from seeking God with all our heart knowing that we are new creations and have been totally forgiven for PAST, PRESENT AND EVEN FUTURE SINS (Jesus already died on the cross for ALL our sins and his grace has already been made sufficient enough for us but like the book of Romans stated, shall we continue to sin so that grace should abound)? Just a little food for thought. Oops, I guess I digressed a little bit again . Now where were we?


Most women have been sexually abused, molested or harassed at one time in their lives (some worse than others and the most painful ones are the men and women that were sexually abused when they were still kids and didn't even know their left from their right not to talk about understanding what sex is. It opened a door they were not ready for and the enemy always takes advantage of that) that it has so affected their view of sex and even life in general. FORNICATION, ADULTERY, RAPE, INCEST(sex within a nuclear or extended family), BESTIALITY (having sex with animals), PORNOGRAPHY AND MASTURBATION, to mention a few sexual sins has become the order of the day to the extent that people don't see anything wrong with this(HEY! it called liberal thinking remember? How sad for us all). It is rather painful that CHILD PORNOGRAPHY sells more than than any form of pornography (to think about all the innocent children that have been forced into this industry for the sake of money or even trying to make a living. There is a demonic force attached to this and if you talk to people that are or were bound by pornography, they will tell you that its almost as if they don't have any form of control over their action and they always LUST more for that which is suppose to be impossible to get hence the increase in Children molesters and rapist). Are we blind to see the trap of the enemy or isn't there something wrong with this picture? Has LUST become LOVE? True love GIVES without expecting anything in return (Go and read 1 Corinthians 13 again and meditate on every scripture that talks about LOVE in God's word). LUST is the exact opposite. It takes, takes and TAKES and can never be satisfied (it is fleshly and lust is a product of our sinful nature). It is high time we learn to tell the difference and stop pretending that both of them are the same. It is high time we start looking inward and the motives of our hearts to see if we are walking in LOVE or we are walking in LUST. It is high time we stop pretending we don't know what is destroying us and keeping us from truly appreciating and enjoying the love of God (Don't forget that we are a product of what we think and what is in abundance in your heart -Matthew 12:34 and Luke 6:45). It is high time we stop trying to give physical explanations to spiritual issues and put on our SPIRITUAL ARMOUR. There is a constant SPIRITUAL BATTLE going on around us and with the help of the holy spirit we need to FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH!!! It is HIGH TIME OUR VOICES ARE HEARD and WE ARE IN CONTROL of what is shown on the media (the media industry in general) so that the minds of our children and the generation ahead of us will not be destroyed before they even have the chance to grow up. I personally think that the devil has blinded the church from seeing his battle strategy and instead of us putting the enemy in his rightful place (under our feet), we are constantly pursuing after things that God said will come to us when we seek him first (Matthew 6:33) and pretending that we are not seeing these battles around us (IGNORANCE is not an excuse but a DISEASE) and instead of the churches to unite and allow the holy spirit lead the way, churches are fighting against churches (especially about Doctrinal differences) and everyone is trying to prove who knows better than the other. The worse of it all is that we (this includes ME too) constantly find ourselves trying to remove the speck of dust in our brothers eyes forgetting that we have LOGS in ours(negative criticisms, faultfinding, blame shifting, gossiping, backbiting, backstabbing and condemning people has become the order of the day and a times we even do it with the pretense of trying to help the brother or sister). This is rather painful but true and my heart bleeds for the truth, the whole truth and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. I am personally TIRED of living this pretentious and hypocritical lifestyle and I want to be REAL (even if I may end up being heavily criticized and condemned in the process). Oops. I forgot that we are in the END TIMES and these are the things that were predicted would happen in this time and season. Let us no forget that THE CHURCH is not the building or structure we worship in, but WE ARE THE CHURCH and the BODY OF CHRIST. I don't know about you but I am tired of playing CHURCH while the world around me is getting destroyed (with me in it) and people are dying everyday without even knowing THE LOVE OF GOD. I crave more and more for the REAL STUFF and I CRAVE to fulfill my mandate and calling as a CHRISTIAN (CHRIST-LIKE). Sorry, I digressed a little bit again but let this be a little food for thought for us all. Remember that SELAH means to pause and ruminate about it. JAMES 4 gives us a very good reason of why this LUST is raging on our inside.
