Be careful when your desire for sex starts intensifying when you are yet married and, when your desire for dainties begins to increase when you are yet hungry, you are about to fall into the pit of the devil (B) What to drink (Prov 20:1): th

THE POISON OF BITTERNESS For I perceive that thou art in the gall (poison) of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.  Acts 8:23 Those who are bitter for whatsoever reason won’t be able to breakout from the bondage of iniquity Iniquity is the power of darkness that unable one to speak, act and respond righteously Iniquity gives our carnal desires overwhelming power over us that though we don’t want to sin, yet we won’t be able to overcome the overpowering influence of sinful urges To be able to break-out of the influence of iniquity, we must first get rid of bitterness and to get rid of bitterness, we must surrender our hearts to God, and forgive all those whom we think are playing the role of the enemy in our lives (those we assume hates us and we in turn hate them too) Who do you think hates you?
