Disarm the Alarm

You’re doing good work to break the patterns. But what happens when your unwanted sexual behavior steps into the room, in the flesh, or comes up on the screen in full color? Alarms go off. Does your alarm scream “Danger” or yell “Go For it!”? Disarm the Alarm.

Listen in as Josh explains these alarms; their distinctions, their source, and your response.  Your response to those alarms matters a great deal.  

We’ll also explore the concept of walking in the flesh versus walking in the Spirit. 

When you find yourself falling in temptation and the alarms are sounding; we hope this episode gives you pause to say, “This time lord, I want to walk in Your spirit.”

Join us as we Disarm the Alarms.

Highlights:

The alarm sounds very different but they’re both coming from the same source. And they’re both telling you to respond according to the flesh.

“The Holy Spirit has the power to renew and breakthrough generational patterns of unhealthy and destructive behavior.”  - Kelly Minter referencing 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Be vigilant, not hyper-vigilant. Be sober, not scrupulous.

Turn the volume down on the fleshly alarms and tune our ears into the calm, still voice of the Father.

Homework:

When you hear the Alarm:

  • Take deep breaths
  • Treat yourself with kindness
  • Be honest with the Lord “Lord You know the way I’ve done this before, I don’t want to go that way this time. Would you come?”
  • Seek to open yourself to the power and presence of His spirit.

Read John 7:53-8:11 “The Woman Caught in Adultery”

Notice: Jesus doesn’t match their urgency. He bends down and writes in the dirt.

In the urgency of the flesh, Jesus models the power of pause.

The threat is diminished, there’s restoration, there’s dignity.

Hear Jesus’ words: “I did not condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
