A lot of people struggle with lusts and sins for one major reason – They boast in the flesh. They try to negotiate with what God says they should flee from. Sin, and the lust we face today, is older than all of us. When God (who is the ancient of days) tells you to flee, listen to him. Stop playing with sin, claiming to be strong. No wonder our opening verse says, “flee all appearance of evil”. Do you remember when the serpent tempted Eve in the garden of Eden? One of the first mistakes she made was to allow Satan (in the form of the serpent) have a discussion with her. Satan is called the prince of this world for a reason. He knows how to manipulate the minds of people to do his bidding. For some of you, you need to run away from some friends, some movies, and some environments. Say after me: I will not negotiate with sin in the name of Jesus, amen!
