As a man thinks

Hebrews 3:12 12 Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters.Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God. Imprints

 

Temptations do they come ... from imprints in the mind

and things you observed long ago ... forbidden to the soul?

The things that you observed ... tearing at the conscience

which keep you from living for God and could make you whole.

 

Temptations and desires ... that linger in the mind

are they sin fully conceived ... as we are moving on?

Is a thought an action ... that is accepted and perceived

fulfilling a craving hunger ... that is wanted all along?

 

What men say is not important ... but what did Jesus say to it?

Did not He say that just to look upon ... is a desire in the heart?

And is not such the craving sin ... that keeps you from the “Holy”

as in depravity you swim ... enjoying almost every part?
