Dont expect God to deal with those vulgar, wicked desires which u renounced forever when u gave yourself away to Him. That part of u is already dead. But, He will deal with the parts of u that are still alive. He might even test your faith with restrictions & trials of all kinds. Should u resist? Certainly not! You must learn to suffer all things! The death of self must be voluntary . . . Anyone who resists death & repels its advances shows that he is not willing to die. U must be willing to yield to the will of God whenever He decides to remove from u all of the props on which u have leaned. ~ Fenelon ~ 1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.
