TRUTH ON THE WEB MINISTRIES [OUTREACH OF THE CHURCH OF GOD AT WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS]

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

oes Eternal Consequences

◼1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

◼Galatians 5:19-21 “...they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

◼2Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burnethwith fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

FIGHT TEMPTATIONJames 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to

God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Peter 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a

roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are

in the world.

FIGHT TEMPTATION

2 Peter 2:18-19 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were

clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the

same is he brought in bondage.

FIGHT TEMPTATION1 Corinthians 10:13-14 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

FLEE SEXUAL IMMORALITY

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

FLEE SEXUAL IMMORALITYEphesians 5:3-8 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Stop The Lust Of The Flesh Before It Happens

1 Thess 4:3-53 For this is the will of God, your

sanctification: that you should

abstain from sexual immorality; 4

that each of you should know how

to possess his own vessel in

sanctification and honor, 5 not in

passion of lust, like the Gentiles

who do not know God;

SIN NOT :)Control

Control

Thoughts

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have

crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us

also walk in the Spirit.

Colossians 3:1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right

hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the

earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ,

who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3:5-7 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the

earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For

which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of

disobedience: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in

them.

Colossians 3:8-10 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of

your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man

with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in

knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Romans 6:6-7 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that

henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the

lust of the flesh.

Romans 8:1-3 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in

Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the

Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For

what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,

and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Romans 8:4-6 That the righteousness of the law might be

fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind

the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be

carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:7-9 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,

neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh,

but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if

any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Romans 8:10-11 And if Christ bein you, the body is dead because

of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if

the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the

dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that

dwelleth in you.

Romans 8:12-14 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of

the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The key to winning the battle over sin is simple: We must feed our spiritual nature (2 Cor. 4:16, Rom. 12:1-2) through things such as prayer (Rom. 12:12), Bible study (Matt. 4:4), meditation (Ps. 119:97-99),

fasting (Isa. 58), listening to sermons and Bible studies (Rom. 10:14),

fellowshipping with God's people (Heb. 10:24-25) and, most of all, using God's Holy Spirit (Eph. 3:16-20, Rom. 8:1-4).

We also must starve our sinful side by bringing every thought into captivity (2 Cor. 10:5) and fleeing temptation (1 Cor. 6:18). Sin depends upon and grows out of the believing of certain lies. The first is "X" is good for me. Sin results from the misbelief that something contrary to the Word of God is good for you (Jam. 1:14-15). The second common untruth is, "I can't

help myself". This sin says, "I've got to do it. I am helpless to stop myself. The temptation is bigger than I am," which God says is false in 1
