your thoughts... do you agree?

We all reach a certain age of awareness. There is no particular set age for it. Sometimes, it comes unbeckoned in many different cases. It won't be the elephant in the room type experience. It is like age itself. It sneaks up on you over time. We go through a continuous cycle of change—some for the good and some for the bad. The first awareness comes when we are young and still brand new. We quickly discover that to get attention, a good old-fashioned temper tantrum renders impressive results. We find that screaming like a wounded animal always gets the quickest response. We all have our personal and unique delivery system as we blurt out gibberish. It is a baby's brand and style of speaking in tongues. It must be somewhat spiritual since we always say "Hallelujah" or Thank you, God" when the screaming stops. We claim our independence and our rage in different ways. For example, the true mark of a child's rebellion is telling our parents "no." We cannot ponder the consequences of doing such a thing, so we do it. It is that urgency to tell someone off regardless of their position of authority or the pecking order of controlled chaos. But we outgrow all of that, don't we? The short answer is no, we don't. We still take temper tantrums. When is the last time you cursed or threw something across the room? We have given these emotional outbursts names and placed them in categories. Road rage, a middle finger salute, cussing someone until they are black and blue. The categories of expression are endless. However, do not worry; man has created a pill to help us suppress those things. Things have changed over the years. Webster would have non-stop anxiety attacks if you could see how we have twisted words and their definitions. The phrase I just mentioned is a good example. People used to have "nervous breakdowns". We must have cured that one since you never hear that expression nowadays. Now we have panic or anxiety attacks. When I was a kid, you used to ask your grandparents, "How are you feeling today"? Their typical response, if they were feeling well, would be, "I feel rather gay today, and you?" Or if they saw you do something less than intelligent, they would often remark, "That boy has lost his ball in some high weeds."The whole point is that we are children growing old, as I pointed out some time ago in a poem I wrote called "Tears". May your later years be greater than your former! Whatever your dreams are, it’s not too late. Keep pursuing them with great zeal and anticipation. J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan includes the quote, "Even though you want to try to, never grow up".

Loving the Free resources so far, I hope all you guys are taking advantage of them. This is what i took away from the so far. The Victor>Victim I need to make a decision to take ownership in my life. This is a mindset journey more than anything. Don't blame anyone but yourself. AlsoI loved how Denis brought up the point of being a Victor is how Jesus sees us. We were not put on this earth to fail, we are here to succeed in everything we do, this journey is no different.

I have been gone from this platform of many brothers, but I'm back and I have much to share. 1. What is Lust? 2. Why do we Lust? 3. How do we become free from Lust? 4. How do we live free from Lust? 5. How do we teach others to live free from Lust? Here's my contact information for any questions: Facebook: Antonio Perez We can chat about anything about God as long as you understand what I'm talking about and teaching only about the Word. How to be set free and live in Truth is the goal. But also fellowship and that's communion with your brothers. These 5 questions are extremely important because the Word of God aka the Holy Bible clearly states how do we overcome sin. However, we must understand it is not man's will to overcome sin but it is the will of God the Father. That's why man fails and can't win. The answer is Christ being crucified that blood be shed to set you free from lust and living free is Him risen and dwelling in you to keep you from lusting. I will make each question into subjects to help all brothers understand and be able to teach what the answers are to these questions. But above all how does a man not lust after the flesh and walk free and live in the Spirit is the real question. Remember brothers lust is not the main problem in a believer's life, it's sin. Lust is sin, sin is death, and separation from God. I will use many scripture to make sure everything is lining up according to God's word for the believer. Remember God has a promise He gave and profiled it. But this promise is for those that believe and remember if you do not believe then you get nothing. Faith is the only way to receive. By His grace, we receive anything that is of God. It's in His will that we be in His likeness and not be workers of iniquity, lusting after the flesh, and many other things like being anything unholy, unclean, impure, defile, abominable, and more.
