Unnatural desires....

The bible says that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.  Romans 1 describes certain desires and inclinations that are unnatural.  But, will such desires prevail against the church?  The church is described as a house of worship.  Lot had a house and it was his place of worship. It was assaulted while certain individuals in Sodom and Gomorrah tried to break in and take it over. Abraham prayed for Lot and while his home and city would not be saved, Lot was granted safe passage but his wife looked back to her peril.   The Church is a house for worship and should remain so. Our hearts and minds are a place for worship while we seek to bring our habits of eating, speech and meditation in to submission to worship.  There are certain images, movies and videos that you would not entertain in the House of worship. You should not entertain them in your mind or hearts. If you fall asleep watching a game on TV, as many good believers do, and then wake up to be assaulted by someone's bad video recreation of her parent's conceiving her, turn off the TV.  Read Romans 7 and be gentle with yourself but the best way to close the door to suggestion and temptation is to be decisive about what you want and enjoy your time with your family and spouse. Claim that you are walking in or living in  the faith of Abraham( I am a messianic Jew). The Lord is sensitive to you. Read Genesis 4 and know that sin does not have to have dominion over you unless you let it. Be patient and  forgive yourself.  Watch a good contextual dvd like Shakespeare in Love and then apply 1st Corinthians 13 with lots of gentility.
