Proverbs 7
Are you sleeping with the enemy?
Wow... for a minute I was faded by just reading this trash. It is clear that lust is a formable opponent.
I know for me there are few entrances to my camp that the enemy would dare take without clearly knowing that there will be hell to pay upon entry. But there has always been a weak spot in the gate the enemy would try to use to get at me, and that was through lust. I would be lying if I said that in the past his plan did not work, but now as a grown man I have come to realize just what type of tactic the enemy attempts to use against me. So now I watch closely who I let into my camp and deter those attacks before they even get a chance to come to light.
But if you look at the text you will see that the woman was known for being filthy. So hence the man had clear indication that the person he was dealing with was not going to be good for him. Isn’t that us? Don’t we sometimes fool with folks who we know will be no good for us and has no good intentions for us. But still we go along with the death trap, and give the enemy a key to our camp. We have got to begin to see it for what it is. Lust is a death trap. We must take the steps necessary to stay alive and free from the foolishness.
You can’t be like this dude, and just happen to be strolling down “steward avenue” or perusing through the “seek adds” on craigslist for flower girls, and not expect to be overthrown.

Thanks Pastor Sonny! Your words are very thought-provoking! You are so right. How can we ever be overtaken by the enemy, completely unawares when we have the Holy Ghost living on the inside of us? I worked as a clerk years ago and the cash register would lock when $300 was taken in. That way, if we got "held up", the most the thief could get was $300. However, when lines got long, the manager would instruct me to push the "override" button so I could continue ringing up purchases without the inconvenience to our customers. That put the store in a vulnerable position with a higher risk factor. How many times do we as Christians "Override" what the Holy Ghost is warning us about people, places and things, thus endangering ourselves and putting our salvation at risk? God Bless!
