Through a long history of certain thought patterns many of us have been cleverly ensnared in sin. Like being stuck in mud that we can not easily manuever in. This makes it very difficult to do anything for the Lord, much less pray or be of any benefit to his plans. The fruit of sin is death, any wonder why we have become so dry. Death draws us away from the meeting God has planned for us. The excitement of sin is intended to cripple us. The more we think of things we shouldn't the more we are likely to do them. Crippled thoughts, crippled Christians. The closer the danger the stronger the thought temptations. It is a deadly trap with an eternity of regret. The casualness have sinful thoughts and a culture that supports it has enslaved many that should be on the path to safety and heaven.
Escape from the trap, Shut down satan and his pastries of sin.
We can't do right with darkened eyes.
