Christ put out the fire as he is not only a prophet and not only a greatest King in the universe but he's also a great fireman and a great fisher. He conquered the devil and his Wicked Kingdom on the cross at Calvary.
[ 41] Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41
It's one thing when you become a true born again Christian and you make an effort and there's change even if it's incremental. Not saying that is always the case but some people are known to fall away and give heed to seducing spirits and doctrine of devils . God is gracious and he can graft you back in so come back if you have fallen away.
The soul that sins shall surely die
Ezekiel 23:18
“So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.”
King James Version (KJV)
So you're always supposed to be praying and also give thanks and supplication as well as sing praises to the Lord which has been put on my mind quite a bit lately. Once you become a true born again Christian believer and you have understanding your spirit wants to obey but the flesh is weak and the world out there promotes everything mainly that is abominable. Not so much in advertising when it comes to material goods such as clothes or things you need to live but the way they attract people even to sports and entertainment is by vanity. Sometimes they'll have commercials and make them appealing but you don't need everything you see. You see instead of focusing on vanity and becoming prideful and arrogant like Satan which he has children out there your focus needs to be on knowing God, knowing Christ and giving your life to him and doing his will. Now I've known and I've seen the messages on podcast by other Christians some who make it their mission to warn people about masturbation to overcome this because that is a hold the devil has on people. Some Christians claim who are Street Preachers that they never do this and they haven't done it for years and they've completely cast it away but there are pastures out there that don't believe them. If Satan has been around for centuries and he has and he is a tempter he is much smarter than us and we are no match unless we are under Christ and have the authority of Christ to tread over serpents and scorpions. Luke 10:19 to 21
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you .
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you ; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Pontius Pilate asked what is the truth. You know we have the voice of the Lord in our subconscious and in there can also be the filth of the vexation as Lot experienced and we have the power to overcome it just as written in the verse above. The problem is when we live our lives and we disobey that voice in our subconscious and we start to obey the world even stupidly and in blind recklessness. Yes they try to amalgamate and bring the world into the church. Everyday people die around the world and it's sad of course. Every day in the news there are things written imprinted media that seem difficult and unfortunate to accept as they're shocking. We have to see and understand his ways instead of our nonsense. It's easy to write about Satan and say he had pride and iniquity was found in him. Iniquity is in millions of people around the world. Look at David Cassidy such a hunk or a teen idol and he wasn't totally stupid but look at his life in the end. ( The flesh is weak ) I could think of Farrah Fawcett, Whitney Houston, Elvis Presley, John Belushi, Michael Jackson, Prince and others. You cant serve two masters and there are women out there getting themselves into trouble who are celebrities as well. But it doesn't end there because there are people who are multi-billionaires in high places who are also totally lost. God would have none that perish and he gave us his only begotten son which is the gift of all gifts in this world. John 3:16 and throughout . What is his will? I'm often reminded of John 10:10 he came to give us an abundance of life. The evil one comes to steal, to kill you know to rob people as carjackers do these days. They don't earn their keep but they're going to pay probably with their own soul for all of eternity absent from the light of God. We have to go forward and we have to learn to lean on his righteousness and let him teach us because we don't want to be looking back. He said let the dead bury their dead and you go preach the kingdom and preach Christ crucified too. May the Lord be with you.
