Facing Jesus with your insatiable desires!

“Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.” James 1:15

The word from God today is seeking out Jesus for help with your insatiable desires or compulsive behaviors.

We all have these behaviors ranging from an addiction to something less potent.

Your insatiable desires can lead to destruction and death if they are not dealt with by God.

They grieve the Holy Spirit and weaken your relationship with Jesus. They affect your family and friends and can do unrepairable damage to those around you.

The apostle Paul had to deal with this problem. He did exactly the thing that he knew was wrong. He had no control over this behavior.

The starting point is to seek out Jesus for wisdom and the resurrected power of the Cross to change this behavior. 

Most believers open the door to Satan by giving in to the lusts of the flesh. They entertain thoughts from Satan and allow the desire to be conceived in their soul. 

At this point you have given Satan control over an aspect of your life and a stronghold has probably been established. Strongholds are very difficult to break and exercising your will power is futile.

Jesus broke the power of these insatiable desires on the Cross. This power has to be lived out in your life. 

Ask Jesus to forgive you and pour His blood over you. Pray to Jesus to break the power of this insatiable desire in your heart.

Listen for the voice of God. He might direct you to get professional help or seek out prayer and deliverance from mature Christ followers.

Most importantly, walk by faith believing this sin has been broken by Jesus and take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus.
