Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong-you want only what will give you pleasure. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. "What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. "Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'” | 1 Corinthians 15:33 (NIV) But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." | 1 John 2:15-17 (NLT) These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave.
"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." | James 1:12-15 (NLT) "Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.
