Enemy of Longevity Pt. 6: Unsubmitted Desire

Luke 15:11-24

How to Walk in a Lifestyle of Fulfilled Desire:

1- It is the proximity to my Father that determines the flourishing of my personhood. Money is not the pinnacle of human fulfillment, Sex is not the peak of human intimacy, and food is not the summit of human bodily satisfaction. When the son ran out of all of these things he returned to the one who had given him the means to experience these things; the father. A prodigal is just one who runs away from the father to try to experience the promises only proximity to the father can produce and fulfill.

2 - Your desires must be submitted before your heart ever can be. The proper containers for our desires allow the limits to be healthy, and the experiences holy. If you cannot contain your desires, your desires will remake you Into an uncontrollable and impulsive person. For every action of fallen desire, there is a re-action that brings it into Kingdom alignment.

3 - Our desires are either running towards the Father or away. In this story, the prodigal ran from the father when he got what he wanted, only to find out that with the father he had all that he needed, so he returned. What you think you want isn't always what you need, and what you need sometimes is the last thing your flesh wants. But sometimes it takes a son begging to be a slave after squandering all he had, for the father to remind the son the worth, value, and love he has from his father always... a robe, a ring, and sandals.
