Notes

God is still moving and He’s inviting you to move with Him!

WHEN YOUR HEART IS FIXED UPON GOD, YOU’LL SEE THAT THE THINGS OF MAN WILL NOT BE WORTH FIXING YOUR HEART UPON!

Even if you change your environment but don’t ask god to change your heart, you’ll give in to temptation every time!

THE GIFT OF CHOOSING GOD IS THAT WE GET GOD!

Verses

{“Meanwhile, the Midianitesc sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.” Genesis 37:36 NIV}{"Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned." Genesis 39:1-4 NIV}{"From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So he left in Joseph’s care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!” Genesis 39:5-7 NIV}{"But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her." Genesis 39:8-10 NIV}{“How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9 NIV}{"But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did." Genesis 39:20-23 NIV}

Quotes

G.K. Chesterton : “Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is looking for God.&rdquoJeremy Jernigan : “By pursuing pleasure on our terms, we actually experience less of it. We don’t need to settle for counterfeit pleasure when the real version is available.” (Redeeming Pleasure); Paul David Tripp : “Our struggle with sexual sin is not first a struggle with the environment in which we live or with the people that we live near. Our struggle with sexual sin reveals the dark and needy condition of our hearts. When it comes to sexual sin, the greatest sexual danger to any human being anywhere lives inside of him and not outside of him.” (Sex & Money ); John Owen : “The deceitfulness of sin is seen in that it is modest in its first proposals but when it prevails it hardens men’s hearts, and brings them to ruin. Be killing sin, or it be killing you.” (The Mortification of Sin); Michael Davis : "Sin takes you down a road you never intended to go. It will keep you longer than you were willing to stay, and it will cost you more than you were ever willing to pay." (Journal);
