The most destructive outcomes always start with a DESIRE,
and the path that desire takes will always return a
Bad Outcome. Along this path there are six steps,
and like the proverbial 'slippery slope to sin'
they progress slowly downward until destruction becomes its destination!
First is DESIRE -something wanted - which that leads to
a THOUGHT of how to obtain that desire.
Then we ENTERTAIN and build upon that thought and
develop a plan of ACTION to make it come to fruition.
Once established in our thinking it becomes a HABIT
that we cannot seemingly break out of,
and what started as a simple desire then becomes
a STRONGHOLD that can be a bear-trap of the soul.
Friend, all of us have gone down this slippery slope
in thought and deed at one point, but God can and does provide
“...with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it(!)” (1 Corinthians 10:13)
But How? And the key is understanding that:
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down IMAGINATIONS ['Desire'],
and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
Each day we sit at the top of these stairs of thought.
Victory or defeat always resolves to if our
thought is in obedience to CHRIST or to DESIRE.
Success always follows obedience when we 'Cast Down Those Imaginations.'
The question is - which will you choose?
