4. DESIRE WARS
“I want…”
“I need…”
“Give me…”
“Meet my needs…”
“I crave…” “I yearn…”
MY WAY?
“more now…”
“I hunger for it…”
GOD’S WAY?
5. V.2-3: WHERE DO WARS COME FROM?
LUST
MURDER
COVET
for what is not yours
relationships God intended for you
that which God never purposed
FIGHT for vain causes
6. Galatians 5:1
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by
which Christ has made us free, and do
not be entangled again with a yoke of
bondage.”
PAUL SAYS…
7. WHEN YOU FEED DESIRE…
Freedom is the first casualty
Loyalty to God erodes
The world becomes your
lover
8. DESIRE FOR GOD…
Begins with humility
Submission nurtures freedom
Drawing near fosters
wholeness
