DESIRE UNDER CONTROL

BIBLE TEXT: 2 SAM 13: 1 - 14

2Sam.13.1 David's son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. And Amnon, her half brother, fell desperately in love with her. (NLT)

2Sam.13.2 Amnon became so obsessed with Tamar that he became ill. She was a virgin, and it seemed impossible that he could ever fulfill his love for her. (NLT)

2Sam.13.14 But Amnon wouldn't listen to her, and since he was stronger than she was, he raped her. (NLT)

2Sam.13.20 Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has your brother Amnon had his way with you? Now, my dear sister, let's keep it quiet--a family matter. He is, after all, your brother. Don't take this so hard." Tamar lived in her brother Absalom's home, bitter and desolate. (MSB)

Our desire and urges are God given and natural, however,we should never allow the devil to use them as a tool to destroy or end destinies. Uncontrolled desire can have a catastrophic end.

Self control is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is a gift God has given to all His children.

Abstain from following every flutter of your heart, or urge to satisfy an unholy appetite. It's a fight between the Holy Spirit and your flesh, and who wins is determined by who is in control of your life.

Do you have a crush, infatuation, or an unholy appetite for sex, and sexual exploration as a Single person? Ask the Holy Spirit to help you obey God by putting your desire under control.

MEMORY VERSE FOR THE DAY

Prov.25.28 A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls. (NLT)

DECLARATION

I'm a son/daughter of the Most High God. I keep unholy appetites under control because I want to obey my father. The Lord has given me the grace to overcome temptation, so the Holy Spirit wins all the time in my life.
