are your eyes betraying you?

*ARE YOUR EYES BETRAYING YOU?* The eye is never satisfied in looking says the preacher... Pornography is like a cankerworm eating up your finances and time; you no longer spend your time praying or studying or mastering useful skills and you'll waste your money buying internet data because you want to indulge your eyes. It causes you to masturbate and now you feel bound to it though its destroying your body and relationship with God and your spouse (for married folks). Some desire to quit but even that seems so difficult... Matt. 1:21 says that its only Jesus who can deliver His people from the yoke of sin When you surrender to Jesus, He'll send His spirit within you to cause you to walk in righteousness and do His word (Eze. 36:27) Whatsoever sinful and destructive habit that has tied you down, whether its hard drugs, alcoholism, masturbation, unforgiveness, bitterness, and anger etc. Whosoever that shall call on Jesus shall be saved from such sinful habit.

VOW OF SEPARATION

Say to the people of Israel, When either a man or a woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and shall not drink any juice of grapes or eat grapes, fresh or dried.

FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT

For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. Luke 1:15 In the old testament when the Holy Spirit falls on the privileged, those fortunate were instructed not to take any alcoholics because alcohols are known as spirit because they occupy the mind and the mind is also where the Holy Spirit do occupy when He descends on any man thus whoever that will be honoured to be chosen for the visit of the Holy Spirit will be instructed not to take strong wines. You can’t fill up an already filled cup, you can only empty a cup filled with oil before you can fill it up with water, yes, the mind/body has to be emptied of wine before it can be filled with the Holy Spirit and any one that wants to be filled with the Holy Spirit must totally abstain from strong drink. Someone once argued that after all Jesus turned water to wine and Paul once wrote that Timoth...
