Tara Gomes 39 mins Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:15, 16 The five senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing and seeing all report to the carnal mind....which is the enemy of God. These senses are what satan uses to tempt us. The lust of the flesh includes tasting, touching, smelling, and hearing. The lust of the eyes is seeing. The pride of life is thinking you are special because of who you are, what you have, what you know, or what you look like. The enemy uses these three things: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life to entice us to sin Scripture shows this process at work both in the Garden of Eden and on the Mount of Temptation. In the Garden of Eden: So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate....Genesis 3:6. The woman, Eve, saw that the tree was good for food ...the lust of the flesh it was pleasant to the eyes ....the lust of the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise ....the pride of life Eve was deceived Adam disobeyed Sin came into the world AND Death came upon all men by sin. Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. - THE LUST OF THE FLESH Matthew 4:8, 9 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, All these things I will give You if You... - THE LUST OF THE EYES Matthew 4:5, 6 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: He shall give His angels charge over you, and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. - THE PRIDE OF LIFE THROUGH THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT, WITH THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, CHRIST SUCCESSFULLY RESISTED THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE DEVIL.... WE CAN ALSO!!!! For to be carnally minded IS death, BUT to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. BUT YOU ARE NOT IN THE FLESH....BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF INDEED THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU. NOW IF ANYONE DOES OT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NOT HIS.
