When
we want something so bad, we can become deceived by our own desires.
When you want something so bad, it is just that....it is the will of
your life over God's will. When we want something so bad, one may make a
choice risking to be deceived because their desires are stronger than
God's Will. You will have fallen into your own trap. Why are the desires
of so many so strong? It is because one foot is still in the world. Many still love the world. Many serve two masters.
Matthew 6:21 KJV For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
single, thy whole body shall be full of light.23 But if thine eye be
evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light
that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!24 No man can
serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.
In the KJV, it is stated more accurately for this particular verse. If
your eye is single, then your whole body shall be full of light. Both
your eyes must only focus on only one thing. It must only focus on HIM.
Both your eyes must only focus on Jesus Christ. You must fall in love
with HIM rather than the things of the world. But if one eye is on the
world and one eye is on HIM, then thine eye be evil. Scripture
elaborates that no man can serve two masters, especially God and mammon.
If you are trusting on other things over the Lord, then you have yet to
fully surrender to HIM. You have yet to fully trust HIM. You must
surrender with a whole heart. Do not say to yourself that you are. How
do you know you have fully surrendered yourself? Are you God to
determine this? Humble yourself and ask HIM. If you do not know how to
do this, then you must ask HIM to help. But do know this; that you will
pay a price. There is a heavy price to really follow TRUTH. It may cost
you everything. But to follow with anything less than a whole heart will
be considered evil.
