IN SEARCH OF STRANGE FLESH?



READ: JUDGES 14:1-7
Are you struggling with your flesh? The Lord says, There is a haven of rest for only hose who can ask Him to take them there. Ask the Lord to take you there in each area you are struggling with your flesh. “And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah” (Judges 16:4). One of the most anointed, most powerful judges of Israel after the death of Joshua was Samson. As strong as he was, his adversary was his lust for strange women. His eyes which never saw any beautiful sister in all the tribes of Israel among whom he lived, could see strange women in far away Philistine towns. It takes strange eyes to see strange women. It also takes godly eyes to see godly women. Strange eyes cannot see godly women and true godly eyes can never see strange women. May God deliver us from strange eyes in Jesus name.
When godly eyes begin to see strange women, you can be sure that a change from godliness to strangeness has taken place. Today, there are some Christian youths who cannot see fellow Christians in their search for a marriage partner. All they pant after is ungodly women and even those of other religions. Like Samson, the only woman or man that can please them is those of strange flesh. When your body yearns after an ungodly fellow, you can be certain you have since departed from the kingdom of God. It is impossible for a believer to fall in love with an unbeliever. Why? The attributes of God love in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 negates sin in its entirety. God cannot lead you to an unbeliever or cause you to fall in love with an unbeliever because He cannot break His word. Divine love does not thrive in sin or lies (1 Corinthians 13:6). When some youths have been led by their flesh lust; they will ascribe it to God. A believer that falls in lust after an unbeliever has already backslidden. If you are craving for strange women or flesh, you need deliverance. Samson was in lust but he thought he was in love. Lust destroys. It robs you of your possessions. It leads to hell. Break off from that ungodly tie with that boy friend or girl friend or it will destroy you.
MEMORIZE: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:6 –Rejoice not in iniquity but rejoice in the truth.
