Worldly desires are desires of the flesh. The desires of the flesh are not from God but from what the world wants and what we want. If we do not put our worldly desires into submission, they will take over and our desires will be that of the world and of what we want.
Let's take a look at some types of worldly desires:
Lust of the flesh
Money-greed
Identity- who you are and why gender you are, and they are rewriting gender
Fame
Jealous/envy
Pride of self and what they are making pride into today
Self-pleasure- the body
degrading others
Anger
Drunkenness
Smoking
and anything else you can think of
The Bible has a lot to say, to start off with in Galatians 5:19-21 says, Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. These are the things and what I listed, are the things of the flesh, our worldly desires. Some I listed are the same as the verse some not. but it all leads to worldly desires.
Today I want you to think of the worldly desire that you put stock in. Pray to God to show you if you do not know. Tomorrow we will keep looking at worldly desires meaning the flesh. I'm not sure how long we will be on this for God leads.
