This is how the Bible responds to this belief.
“All of us also lived among them at one time,
gratifying the cravings of our flesh
and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
But because of his great love for us, God,
who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions
—it is by grace you have been saved. “
*********************************************************************************************************
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;
but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
*********************************************************************************************************
“For if we have been united with him in a death like his,
we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin
might be done away with, that
we should no longer be slaves to sin…”
*********************************************************************************************************
“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral
nor idolaters
nor adulterers
nor men who have sex with men
nor thieves
nor the greedy
nor drunkards
nor
slanderers
nor swindlers
will inherit the kingdom of God.
And that is what some of you were.
But
you were washed,
you were sanctified,
you were justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and by the Spirit of our God.”
*********************************************************************************************************
A Name of our God
The Bible tells us God is a God of Wrath
His “Wrath” is His Holiness, expressed in His absolute hatred for evil and sin.
*********************************************************************************************************
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—
and I lay down my life for the sheep.
*********************************************************************************************************
The Blood of Jesus
This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Prayer/Decree
Heavenly Father, this deception is great, yet you are greater and your word is true and everlasting. When the light of Your word, Your truth revealed to me within my heart an adjustment, a shift took place. For your Holy Spirit open my spiritual eyes and I became aware of the decay and death I had immersed myself in. Father, I repent. I turn from this deception and move towards you and your kingdom.
We decree that your light of truth and your words of life are now breaking through and separating life from death, opening the eyes of your prodigal sons and daughters, and are shattering all seducing spirits that are keeping them from returning to you! In Jesus powerful name!
