Joni, I totally agree with you, i.e. "...We don 't have a license to sin just because we are in Christ. ... We have to fight like you said and never take our eyes off Jesus. Satan wants us to focus on our past mistakes... " Joni, my present situation is one eagerly searching for the "meat " of God 's Word and understanding how to apply this to my present situation. This appears to be totally different from the "milk " of the Word in that it invites a NEW EXISTENCE. I find learning about Jesus, the Holy Ghost and our Heavenly Father easy compared to bringing myself under the influence of these in a manner that actually changes who I am...This is a daily struggle for me at this time and satan does not leave any stone unturned in his attempts to thwart my efforts, often using myself against myself...Oh how I wish I saw myself clearly as God sees me and I long so much for clarity as to my imaginings and my desires as to whether they be "vain " or "to consume upon my own lusts "....I am so often questioning myself...
