Sermon on the Mount 7 – Lust, Adultery & Victory Over Both – Matthew 5:27-30 – Kerrigan Skelly — “Is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your *eternity*?”

What Jesus said: Adultery in the Heart (Matthew 5:27-30)

“You have heard that it was said to those of old [old covenant], ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you [new covenant] that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand [masturbation] causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Kerrigan Skelly explains: Jesus’ lust warning is serious! @ 39:00

“What I think Jesus is trying to communicate right here using hyperbole [overstatement to make a graphic point] is to teach this truth:

Do whatever it takes to get rid of the sin. Do whatever it takes. Why? Because your sin will cost you everything, everything in the end. And it’s better to lose whatever you have to lose than to keep sinning and lose Jesus and salvation. It’s better to get rid of whatever you need to get rid of to stop from going to eternal hell in the end.

Lust also many times involves the use of your hand or your hands. The same principle applies to verse 30 as to verse 29.

The question remains: is a little bit of pleasure you receive from lust worth everything: your life, your soul, your eternity? And if you answer ‘no,’ you need to prove it by your actions.”

False doctrine starts if we conform the Word to our experience – Skelly @ 1:03:35

“Conforming the Word to your experience instead of conforming your experience to the Word is definitely a problem. That’s how false doctrine starts.”

Peter the Egyptian: “As long as one practices any kind of passion he cannot be called servant of God … It is shameful for him to teach before he has been freed from that passion”

James Perloff, author of ‘Missing Miracles, Missing Saints, mentioned this quote in a podcast.

Saint Peter the Egyptian (4th-5th century):

Some other time Peter was asked: ‘What is a servant of God?’ His answer was this: ‘As long as one practices any kind of passion he cannot be called servant of God, but he is the servant of that passion which conquers him. As long as he is conquered he cannot teach others who are conquered by the same passions, because it is shameful for him to teach before he has been freed from that passion about which he teaches.’ (source)

They Don’t Want You To Know This! This Will Change Everything You Know About ‘Pride’

“Haughty pride is the opposite of the spirit of humility that God seeks.”

“Pride has been called the cancer of the soul, the beginning of all sin, and sin in its final form.”

“Pride is viewed as a great sin and rebellion against God because it presumes to possess excellence and glory that belong to God alone.”

“Prideful people treat others with contempt and cruelty.”

“Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”

“Pride is taking the glory that belongs to God alone and keeping it for ourselves.”

“Pride is essentially self-worship.”

“Work out your salvation; pride has to go.”

“Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

We are not to boast about ourselves. If we want to boast, then we are to proclaim the glories of God. … It is what God says about us that makes the difference.”

“Do not be caught in this trap, pride. Fight and get delivered by the Spirit of God.”

God’s Truth or Satan’s Lies

Thought provoking, important message, but hindered because the TRUTH about who goes to heaven has been replaced with Satan’s LIE, OSAS, that born-again Christians cannot lose their salvation.

Masturbation is NOT Healthy

DEFEAT LUST & PORNOGRAPHY

The Health Benefits of Masturbation

Matt Fradd is the author of Delivered: True Stories of Men and Woman Who Turned from Porn to Purity.

..there are no health associations when it comes to masturbation, and it instead has negative effects. For instance, men who masturbate more tend to have more prostate abnormalities, have less of an ability to recover from ED, and tend to have more signs of depression.

In short, we can say this:

  1. There is no documented health problems associated with not masturbating.
  2. Masturbation does not have the same kind of health benefits that intercourse does.
  3. Masturbation, in specific ways, can be shown to be unhealthy.

“In previous eras, in order to get sexually explicit material, you had to go to a pornographic theater, or you had to go to a bookstore. Now, you can access pornography sitting at home at no cost, over the internet.”

Raised on Porn exposes the ways pornography has become the new sex education for children and unpacks the dangerous lifelong implications of this global phenomenon.

Through riveting firsthand accounts, cinematic re-enactments, 3D animation, and interviews with the world’s leading neurologists, sociologists, psychologists, and therapists, Raised on Porn is filled to the brim with raw, compelling insight on how pornography is poisoning us and our relationships. This film shatters cultural myths about the “harmless” nature of pornography and provides a sobering framework to understand how this graphic genre of media has shaped our world, eliciting a desperately-needed call for change.

CONTENT WARNING: While the film doesn’t contain any nudity, it features discussions and images of a sexual nature that some viewers will find disturbing. Our editors have worked hard to create something that is watchable for most viewers while still conveying the essence of the problem. We recommend the film for mature teens and above.

Lust Freedom: “WALK BY THE SPIRIT and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh” – Gal. 5:16

Gal. 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another. 16 But I say, WALK BY THE SPIRIT, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: [four ways of describing lust] adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things WILL NOT INHERIT the Kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit. …

6:7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. 8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap CORRUPTION. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap ETERNAL LIFE.

Dana Key warned about “once saved, always saved” license to sin in 1982

“They’re preaching across the country a kind of salvation that sounds like a fire insurance policy to me, where you sign up. You come down and sign a card, or whatever you do. And then you can go out and live like hell if you want to until Jesus comes, because ‘everything is going to be okay.’ God is going to judge sin. He doesn’t want Christians to live in sin. It’s a mockery.” – Dana Key in 1982

Ron Hoffman: Women are different than men — Seek different things to satisfy their soul

The God-made differences between men and women will always be despite TalmudVision’s never ending mission to convince us we’re the same.

Satan’s goal is dysfunctional families or no families and dysfunctional churches where demons run amuck to topple society.

Bill Wiese: Are We Believing Deceptive Lies? – “Anything else should be questioned. The Bible is God’s truth”

Exceptionally wise and pertinent words to overcome during these deceptive last days!

NOTES I TRANSCRIBED:

“The deception in these last days is overwhelming.”

“The enemy’s … primary weapon is subtle deception. He comes at us with carefully crafted arguments that stir up our emotions, and he often mixes in a little truth into the lies he promotes, causing us to question our God-given instinct. He comes back again and again until we are offended and angry. He knows that an offended person has compromised judgment.”

“The media has become the most powerful vehicle of lies, evil and confusion of our time. … And if you disagree with them you become ridiculed, hated, slandered.”

“We must stop and question the information being planted in our hearts and minds. We must each investigate the other side of the story.”

Romans 16:18 “By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.” BSB

The Bible says numerous times “take heed that no one deceives you.”

“If we are moved by feelings and feed on lies how are we to discern the truth” as the delusion increases with more serious birth pain events?

We should ask ourselves in humility:
• Have I been siding with evil?
• Do I really want to know the truth?
• Am I offended?
• Has my heart been hardened?
• Has my love gone cold?

“Anything else should be questioned. This [lays his hand on the Bible] is God’s truth.”

Pornographic movies and pictures

A main reason for the fall of men, now that technology has made it so easy for men to privately lust after women, whom God made so visually attractive. The lust demons then enter, driving lust, and many never get free, being falsely taught by many also-lusting pastors that we don’t have to.

PORNOGRAPHIC MOVIES AND PICTURES

Adultery, fornication and sexual lust have become common in this world. But the BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is PORNOGRAPHY. People are HUNGRY for it, thirsty for it. They are swallowing it down like water, never satisfied, never able to quench their thirst, ALWAYS CRAVING MORE AND MORE of that deadly poison.

This portal of hell has taken over our homes, it is now abducting our kids, living in their pockets, clinging to them in their mobile phones, readily available for any moment of weakness. It has taken over their minds, infested their innocence, it has made them preys to his demons and victims of the devil.

Fathers have forsaken their love for their wives and kids. They have exchanged it for their computers, dragged there by their lust and thirst for DIRTY FLESH, opening this portal of evil on their homes. They then wonder why there are bad things happening to their homes, depression, anger, anxiety, unfaithfulness, rebellion and hate, they wonder why they are not able to love and sacrifice for their wives as Christ sacrificed for His Church. They let demons get into their homes not knowing they are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE.

Even wives are also becoming slaves to this portal of demons, not satisfied with their husbands, lusting silently over other men, cheating in their suggestive and imaginative minds, forever curious, not submitting to their husbands in love.

What only 30 years was unavailable has invaded our countries, societies, homes, all the way down to our minds, spirits and souls. What was destined to be a Holy temple of the Holy Spirit has become a filthy desecrated temple.

Human beings have turned into what the devil wants them to be, OBJECTS, VOID OF THEIR TRUE VALUE. Pure demonic influence has led people to forsake God, to hate Him and His Holiness, to rebel against THE ONE who gave them their life.

You may think it is all cool and nice, but it won’t be cool for you in hell and torment. It won’t be cool when you discover that it was the devil’s portal of evil that was SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF YOU, that IT WAS ALL his TRAP to drag you along with your family and kids down to the very pits of hell. It won’t be VERY COOL down there where the fires of hell will devour you for eternity. It won’t be very cool to live with that regret and remorse, forever and ever and EVER.

You who are addicted to pornography, you are an ignorant victim but you are also ACCOUNTABLE, because you LET YOURSELF be deceived and dragged by what you KNEW deep down WAS WRONG. It is the reason why you have always HIDDEN IT for fear of being EXPOSED by the light of the Holiness of a RIGHTEOUS GOD. But no, you CHOSE to believe the lies of the devil, that we are born this way, that it is ok, that we are only human, that we cannot help it. You have CHOSEN to believe the devil who turned evil into good and good into evil. You have chosen to give your soul to the devil and you have delivered your family into the hands of sexual demons that will destroy them. You have chosen to believe the devil who told you: “DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT, YOU SURELY WILL NOT DIE”

DREAM: The distracted racer – The wisdom of dependence

Real Christianity is a relationship with Christ — abiding in the Vine, instead of going solo. It’s submission to the Creator of the Universe, to do His will.

– –

Jesus said also without Him we can do nothing. It is because a branch that is not connected to the vine cannot yield fruits for the Kingdom, it can only yield human fruits, dead works that God did not ask for. He can be merciful but this is not His perfect will for us. The branch has to yield to the vine, it has to abide and let the Vine take over.

We cannot continue the way brothers and sisters without the guidance of God, without the Holy Spirit. We need Him always with us to guide us and in us to empower us to overcome our flesh. We have to be like little children who depend on their father, they know they cannot walk far without the hand of the father.

(7 min vid) WHY can’t I STOP SINNING?

WHY CHRISTIANS CAN’T STOP DELIBERATE SIN?

Many Christians ask WHY they can’t stop sinning. Many also say it is impossible to stop sinning, it can’t be done. Is that true?

Dear friends, the reason Christians can’t overcome sin is because they are BELIEVING the lies of the devil and because they WANT to SATISFY the desires of the flesh. Jesus says the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. …

We cannot believe the devil, brush Jesus to the side and do our own thing, please our own flesh.

Dear friends, Paul says that if we WALK IN THE SPIRIT we will NOT FULFILL the desires of the flesh. If we ABIDE AND WALK in the Spirit, we will OVERCOME sin. We will not be DOMINATED by sin.

(vid) The devil’s BEST trick EXPOSED — He disguises himself as a your friend…

ARE YOU READY FOR THE DEVIL’S BEST?

There is one trick up the devil’s sleeve that he got me with many times and he will ALWAYS use against many Christians. He got away with it with Eve in the garden when he tried to convince her with his famous lie: “you shall not surely die”.

He disguises himself as a your friend, someone who care for you, somebody who tells you “you don’t need to suffer or struggle”, “satisfy yourself”, “God loves you”, “HE WILL NOT LET ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO YOU”.

He did that from the beginning in the garden and He tried to pull that on Jesus Himself in the wilderness when he said to Him (Luke 4:9-11):

If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written,

He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’

and

On their hands they will bear you up, (((( LEST YOU STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE. ))))

The devil wanted to tempt Jesus by telling Him: ‘You are the SON OF GOD, you can do anything you want’, ‘God will not let anything happen to you’. But Jesus called him out.

Sometimes the devil will use the CLOSEST family members to do that to you. They will tell you that “you don’t need to suffer, that you are worried too much about God, that it is ok to satisfy our flesh, it is normal, we are human. God loves you no matter what, He will forgive you”.

Dear brothers and sisters, call him out. Do not believe them. It is the devil trying to tempt you by using the closest to you. He also tried to do that with Jesus:

Matthew 16:22-23

And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, ((((((( Far be it from you, Lord! THIS SHALL NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU. ))))))) But he turned and said to Peter, ((((((( “GET BEHIND ME, SATAN! ))))))) You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

If that is the best trick of the devil, will you take heed dear friends?

What if I told you that it is the trick he is using today with these doctrines you see in your church (Once Saved Always Saved and Pre-tribulation rapture), would you believe me?

What is the fruit of “Once Saved Always Saved”? :

“Don’t worry, you shall not surely die, it is ok to sin a bit sometimes, you are safe, you are already saved, God will forgive you”

What is the fruit of “pre-tribulation rapture”?:

“Don’t worry, you don’t need to suffer for Christ, these things will not happen to you, you will be raptured out of here”

Dear friends, keep your EYES ON JESUS and His words. Keep His words IN YOU and YOU WILL KNOW when the devil is trying to deceive you. By the Spirit of God, we will DISCERN.

May God bless and keep you

Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!

We MUST overcome — my article that no one can refute:

“LUST ‘the poison that kills the soul’ FREEDOM! My experience: How DEMONS DRIVE heterosexual and homosexual lust in ‘Christians’ — When we realize demons drive lust we can be free!

– –

Demons will use the temptation of pornography to destroy the image of God in you, to feed your eyes with the flesh and therefore kill the Spiritual in you. The more we feed the flesh, the more the flesh needs. …

I had my share of this sin in the past and the devil always comes with the same steps, first with a suggestion in the mind, it could be an image on the side of an internet page, then as soon as we entertain the suggestion, it becomes desirable to the heart and then it is only a matter of time until our will follows.

So always the same:

1- suggestion in the mind

2- desire in the heart

3- decision of the will

We need to identify how we are approached. We battle against principalities. The best weapon we can form against this process is to identify it and call it out. Do not ALLOW the devil any foothold [a place, the Greek actually says]. As soon as the suggestion comes, THERE is the place that we have to interject with our own will and say NO. RESIST the devil and he will flee from you. You can also change your mind, scroll to a different page, go out, go spend time with family, anything but don’t sit there, don’t entertain the suggestion. It will destroy you.

You know where this takes you, you do it, you satisfy the flesh and then what? You feel guilty, the demons leave you in a state of humiliation before the Lord. You feel inadequate to go to Him again….
