Desensitized to Live through Sensuality.
This explains it all, “having lost all sensitivity and have given themselves over to sensuality.” I know what is meant when someone is known to be insensitive or being numb to their conscience. That is exactly what is required when a person follows the thing that has power to form emotions and thoughts. To live by those intrusive thoughts and emotions is to be desensitized to their own thoughts and feelings. They become numb to their conscience, lose their human sentimentality, and lose their moral compass. After being desensitized, then they give themselves to sensuality, which includes any type of physical delights. The thing that has power over physiology is able to enhance sensual functions. It includes joyfulness, youthfulness, sexual pleasures, heightened intuition, endowment of knowledge, extraordinary physical abilities, extraordinary skill and talent, etc. Those are fleshly benefits that heightens the pleasure of human senses. Sensuality entices people to live by the inner presence of the mark of the beast.

Those who live for the testimony of Jesus Christ are not to be like those who live for the mark of the beast. We are not to trade in our sensitivity for the sensuality required by those who govern by the inner presence of the mark of the beast. Although they have the ability to form thoughts, their thinking is futile, and it is pointless to try to reason with them. Everything that they do is guided by their sensuality which is the avenue by which the mark of the beast operates. They trample on the Holy Spirit, discard Jesus Christ, and blaspheme God for the purpose of desensitizing a person. They desensitize a person to destroy the moral compass so that they can take control of physiology through sensuality. Those who live by the mark of the beast are darkened in their understanding and hardened in their heart, which separates them from living for God through Jesus Christ.

“So, I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord,
that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God 
because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 
Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality 
so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.”
Ephesians 4:1719

The Way of Christ is not Through Sensual Enhancement.
Those who live for Jesus Christ has been taught to live by human sensitivities through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is our moral compass to conform us to the image of Christ. The Gospel of Christ is the foundation of the Apostles, the inspiration of the Prophets, the message of the Evangelists, the compassion of the Pastors, and the principles of Bible Teachers. Those who live for the testimony of Jesus Christ are taught better than to exchange our Godly sensitivities for Godless sensualities. Yet, in today’s world and in the churches, it is all about sensuality with their good-feel vibes that are totally void of the Gospel of Christ. The Bible is not presented in a way that shuns sensuality, it does not embrace the forgiveness of sin, and it does not encourage people to come to God through Jesus Christ. Instead, a welcome is given for the mark of the beast that thrives on sensuality.

“That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ
and were taught in Him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, 
which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 
to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, 
created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
Ephesians 4:20-24

As a Christian, I am made new in the attitude of my mind, to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and Holiness.

Sensuality through the Mark of the Beast is Idolatry.
An “idolater” is someone who lives by the mark of the beast. It’s idolatry because they live by it while throwing out anything to do with God. Those who govern through the mark of the beast regards it as being all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful. No one who lives for the mark of the beast has an inheritance in the New Jerusalem with Christ and God. Because they desensitize people to the truth of the Gospel and cause them to live by sensuality, God’s wrath will come on them. Today, God’s wrath is starting to be seen through something called “global warming.” It has the world concerned, a world that puts its faith in the government that rule by the mark of the beast. In the Revelation 16:8-10, the sun’s intense heat is instrumental in destroying the power center of the mark of the beast. Paul through the Holy Spirit warns us not to be partners with those who choose the sensuality of the mark of the beast.

 “For of this you can be sure:
No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—
has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words,
for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 
Therefore, do not be partners with them.”
Ephesians 5:5-7

“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love,
just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
Ephesians 5:1-2

Behaviors to Separate Myself From.
The following is a list of behaviors that I need to avoid so that I can continue to present myself as a testimony to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I might not be able to verbally present the Testimony of Jesus Christ and may not get anywhere with all the hours of blogging, but my behavior can be a light to the world. Just the behavior of a Christian sets us apart from those who live by the sensuality of the mark of the beast. I should never do anything to grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom I am sealed for the day of redemption. I must be kind and compassionate to others and forgiving of each other just as Christ forgave me. My heart should be filled with thankfulness according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

• Stop putting forth falsehoods and speak truthfully to others. Especially concerning God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
• I and all Christians are members of Christ’s body so relate to others as such.
• When I’m angry, don’t violate the Spirit of Jesus Christ and resolve the anger before nightfall.
• Do not allow Satan to get a foothold through sin to destroy the Spirit of Christ.
• Don’t take away from others in any way at all, instead find something useful to do with my hands to be able to contribute something to others. Like typing blogs.
• If I can’t say something that is compatible to the Spirit of Jesus Christ, then I won’t say it. No unwholesome talk should be coming from my mouth. I must say things that are helpful for building others up according to what they need. This is to build them up through the Gospel but not through sensual stroking of their egos,
• The words that I speak should be helpful to those who are listening, helpful in a way that is compatible to the Gospel.
• I have to get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, slander, and every form of slander. Nowadays, all of those things are a sure way into jail or a mental health facility. This present system that rules by the mark of the beast has a form of Godliness but denies the power of God.
• I must not have any sexual immorality, which is something that is used to “oil the gears” when enticing others to live by the mark of the beast.
• I mustn’t have impurity and greed because that would be used to twist my arm to coerce me to live by the mark of the beast.
• I mustn’t engage in foolish talk, nor obscenity, nor course joking, because that would put me in fellowship with those who live against Jesus Christ.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
