The spirit world works through our desires, because they need our agreement in order to operate in the Earth. Most actions in order for them to be authentic should come from the heart. Desire is said to be the language of the heart. In the case of The Almighty He actually want us to agree from the heart, while the enemy will trick us into agreement even if the heart is not involved. Evil spirits will get agreement through dreams, sin, evil thoughts and other means. The Spirit world therefore speak to us in order to give us desires.
Take delight in the Almighty, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37 v 4
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Peter 5 v 8
For God/Elohim is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
phillipians 2 v 13
The Almighty has given mankind dominion in the Earth and therefore all spirits need to be authorized by man to be active in the Earth.
Then God/Elohim said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God/Elohim created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God/Elohim he created them;
male and female he created them.28 God/>Elohim blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Genesis 1 v 20-30
The Almighty rules Heaven and made man to rule Earth on His behalf. We were meant to be His CEOs but the enemy intercepted the plan and highjacked man. This caused mankind to rule on his behalf instead. Ultimately we are vessels that carry spirits that influence or control us.
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
2 Timothy 2 v 19-21
What are Desires
Conscious impulse toward something that promises enjoyment or satisfaction in its attainment. To long or hope for. The word lust is often used in the new testament for desire. Lust is a psychological force producing intense desire for something, or circumstance while already having a significant amount of the desired object. This can also be described as covetousness.
Desire is therefore created by information. The original sin was caused by Satan saying something to Eve about something that she was forbidden to have. Words, what we see and thoughts create desires.
The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. 7 At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves.
Genesis 3 v 6
They do not have to be true. Evil desires are usually created by The enemy to cause us to want things that will ultimately destroy us. Good desires are from The Almighty and they cause us to desire what is good for us.
Desires are like a fire they are ignited by information. The scripture refers to 3 main ways that evil desires come. Through the eyes . the flesh and prideful competition.
For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
1 John 2 v 16
Hell/ Sheol and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. 20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man. 20 Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.
proverbs 27 v 20
We often try to do religious’ activities without the desire to do it. This can become mundane and boring although some people get joy from doing rituals. However The Most high wants us to operate from a place of desire.
These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
mathew v 8
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God/Elohim is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
john 4 v 21
Why desires matter
Many so called believers live a double life. They have evil desires inwardly and good behavior publicly. Man looks at the outward but The Almighty looks at the heart. This is why our desires matter. He judges us based on what we desire most.
They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
Mathew 23
This is the dilemma we face when we do not harness and cast down evil thoughts. Because they produce evil desires that eventually cause evil behavior if left unchecked. So another stage of hypocrisy is when evil desires become evil behavior that is hidden behind closed doors.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God/Yah, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ/Mashyach;
2 corinthians 10
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth alway: But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
Proverbs 28 v 13
The best way to get rid of evil desire is to confess them and make them known to others and ask for prayer from someone who has mastery/ a righteous person.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5 v 16
On the contrary keeping them secret is a sure way for them to grow and be finally exposed.
The next step to be totally delivered is repentance.
Evil desires open doors for evil spirits
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord/ Yah.
1 sam 2 v 12
And Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and that they lay with the women that served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
1 samuel 2 v 22
Our desires actually tell us who we love and who we are serving. When we desire to do evil and obey the enemy by breaking Yah’s commands we actually are sons of belial. Belial is a demon mentioned frequently in apocalyptic literature: identified in the Christian tradition with the devil or Satan.
But the Lord/Yah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord/Yah seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord/Yah looketh on the heart.
1 samuel 16 v 7
You have heard that it was said [a]to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust/desire for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Mathew 5 v 27-28
When we entertain thoughts of lust and perversion and imagine doing evil in our hearts. This then opens doors for familiar spirits that have stalked our generation for years to enter and create strongholds in our minds. This then gives them the legal right to come in our dreams and use demons to make covenants with us while sleeping. Commonly called wet dreams.
These covenants create soul ties that are very difficult to break. They can tie up your soul even when you get married to who you want to be loyal to, and make you unfaithful.
We were created and designed for marriage with one woman or one man. The more people we sleep with whether physically or spiritually is the less capacity we have to be faithful to one person.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2 v 24
Even if we desire to be faithful demons will come into your dreams and make covenant through sex with others making us unfaithful. This is also one way they get agreement to carry out the act in the flesh with someone else.
It is therefore in our best interest to stay sexually pure until marriage. To stay away for promiscuous movies and books and evil thoughts. It is also important not to agree with others who practice that life style.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 cor 10
Can we repent after going astray
Once we become habitual sinners, it takes our sincere and righteous sorrow for repentance to take place.
“To repent means to rearrange your entire way of thinking, feeling and being in order to forsake that which is wrong.”
Repentance is granted by The Almighty and can take a while if we have been sinning for a long time. If you are practicing sexual sin then celibacy is really the way to repent. Because Marriage is not a solution for uncontrolled lust/desire. If you are married and practicing adultery then that is also a sign that marriage is not the answer.
The Almighty actually designed man to release sperms without the need to have sex or masturbate.
If one of your men is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp and stay there.
deuteronomy 23 v 10 -11
It is quite normal for the body to just release semen during sleep without a wet dream. However the enemy has educated mankind and told him that sex or masturbation is the answer to releasing semen.
Masturbation require imagination which employs the mind in a sinful way and is really sex with self while pretending it is with someone else.
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”.
proverbs 23 v 7
We must come in agreement with Him to do things His way to have His help. When a man desires a woman so that he can have sex with her primarily. She usually over time feel used and unloved.
We are 3 dimensional beings, body, soul and spirit and cannot be fulfilled only by physical means.
Sin damages our self esteem because it cause us to have a guilty conscience. This in turn causes inner feelings of worthlessness. It also separates us from the Almighty and His manifest presence.
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God/Elohim, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
isiah 59 v 2
We function at our best when we obey the commandments of The Almighty. Sin will always cost us more than we afford to pay, keep us longer that we meant to stay and keep us enslaved in the devils way.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 2
There is help available
In order to live a set apart life, we need the help of The Set apart/Holy Spirit to empower us with His grace/Favor . It is only possible with His help. It is possible however and is very beneficial when we master it.
It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles [him] mathew 15 v 11
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Mathew 15 v 19-20
Lust/ evil desire cannot satisfy or be satisfied. It is like a fire that needs to be put out. Fasting and prayer are effective tools to use in the fight against sin.
Confession and accountability are also very helpful. If you are married then your partner should be your accountability partner that you share your struggles with. If not then a righteous mentor/counsellor of the same sex can be helpful.
In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
hebrews 12 v 4
The Holy Spirit is the fathers gift to us for helping us to overcome sin as well as Yah’s favor/grace.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you.
John 14 v 26
For the grace/favor of God/Elohim has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ/ Yashya Hamashiach,
Titus 2 v 11-14
The blessings that come with pleasing The Most high are numerous and well worth the battle we go through.
The blessing of the Lord/ Almighty, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
proverbs 10 v 22
Although marriage is not a solution it can be helpful to quench the desires. Abstinence is really best until The Most high provides a wife or husband because getting married to have sex is really doing it for the wrong reason. However because we can struggle so much to practice abstinence it is better to marry than to live in sin.
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
1 corithians 7 v 8-9
