Set your affections on Christ alone. You give all that you are to him. You seek after him. (Matthew 6:31-33) "Therefore, be not anxious saying, What shall we eat ? Or, what shall we drink ? Or, what shall we be clothed ? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek you first the kingdom of God, (the kingdom of God is also used to designate the sphere of salvation entered only by the new birth (John 3:5-7) and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." And then God uses that frequency to release treasures into your spirit into your mind, which is the seat of your soul your will your intellect and your imagination into everything that concerns you is a two-way traffic is giving and receiving when you have contrary affections, contrary urges, contrary lust, contrary priorities. When you don't know how to set your priorities on the things above and your affections on things above. How then can you truly receive from God the Holy Spirit the treasures of the Holy Spirit ? So the Apostle Paul now says in verse five of (Colossians 3:5) So kill (deaden), the deprive of power the evil desire lurking in your members those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is implored in sin: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all agreed and covetousness, for that is idolatry the deifying of self and other created things instead of God. I know that they are perhaps millions of people that have the idea that they are going to heaven where Jesus the Christ and God the Father are, yes that may be so; but if you are not trying to die to yourself then you are going to hear these words: "depart from me you worker of iniquity I never knew you." We as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have two die to this world and the flesh and the frequencies that are in this world. This is my point, we must take of our personal cross or individual cross and follow Him. Fornication is not just a spiritual term that is between a woman and a man. Don't be deceived by the demons that are influencing you through your affections and your members which are on the earth: uncleanliness and inordinate affection, evil desire and covetousness which is idolatry. Please read (Colossians 3:6- 7- 8 through 17) as a young man or young woman that is not married, you're inordinate sexual urges. You should kill them and then, he says as a married woman or man you cannot be having sex outside of your marriage it is the sin of adultery. Again, this adultery is not just between a woman or a man; adultery can also be committed in the realm of the spirit where there is no loyalty to Christ Jesus. You see, if you have such inordinate affections and priorities set for the world and self, here's the point. You will be incapacitated to resurrect from your sin. I know that the Scripture says, if you confess your sin, he is faithful and just to forgive you of sin and cleans you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) However, once you commit the act you open a portal for demonic activities in your life. Now from your deadness of flesh, because you see resurrection is for the dead. And if you're not willing to die by the Holy Spirit by yielding to the Holy Spirit and to God the Father, and to his Christ then we do not qualify for heaven. Christ was tempted in all points as we are yet he did not sin, he suffered an died for the sins of the world, so it makes perfectly good sense that we should die to ourselves for Him. Jesus said, that why is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction: but narrow is the way and narrow is the gate and few there be that will find it. (Matthew 7:13) it becomes so impossible to experience the second resurrection which now puts you and me in a pure state of conscience, pure affections Love pure love, pure lust towards the Holy Spirit. Where every part of your being has gone through death. What is Death, there is elimination of our sinful affections. So when we die, you eliminate inordinate affection. You eliminate your carnality. We eliminate everything that is not of God. Whatsoever that is not of the nature of God, all your in. Impurities would have to be nailed to your personal cross. Set this new affection on the things above. Because you modify your inordinate affection, remember to set your affections on things which are above where Christ is seated. Now, bring that death into other areas of your life that is not of God. Now He says, For you on dead. (Romans 6:3 through 6). "Are you ignorant of the fact that all the us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death ? The first death in that context was the death that we received an is our identification with the first death of Christ. He now says, from this death that we obtain an inheritance: we were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead body glorious power of the father, so we to my habitually live and behave in newness of life. For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be one with him in sharing his resurrection by a new life lived for God. We know that our old unrenewed self was Neil to the cross with Him in order that our body with use the instrument of seeing my be made ineffective and active for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin. For when a man dies, he is free loosed, delivered from the power of sin among men. Not you we have died with Christ we believe that we shall also live with Him, Because we know that Christ The Anointed One, being once raised from the dead, you will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For by the death He died, he died to sin in the his relation to get once for all; and the life that He lives, He is listening to God in broken fellowship with Him . Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God living in unbroken fellowship with Him in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore rule as King in your mortal short lived, perishable bindings, to make you here to is craving and be subject to its lusts and evil passions." He says, craft your on death through the crucifying of your members that are on the earth.
