God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In cases I have seen, some common threads emerge and seem characteristic of men who have fallen into sexual impurity:
1. The macho image and a sense of dominance.
2. A perceived failure in one’s job or a blow to one’s ego or pride.
3. A feeling of being “above the rules.”
4. Going easy on one’s self…in many areas like diet or exercise.
5. Carelessly allowing one’s self to be in places or situations that boost temptation.
6. A roving and undisciplined eye.
I…remind you what the true ministry of the Holy Spirit looks like. It’s not chaotic, flashy, and flamboyant (like a circus). It’s usually concealed and inconspicuous (the way fruit develops). We cannot be reminded too often that the Holy Spirit’s primary role is to exalt Christ, especially to elicit praise for Christ from His people. The Spirit does this in a uniquely personal way, first of all by reproving and convicting us - showing us our own sin, opening our eyes to what true righteousness is, and making us sense deeply our accountability to God, the rightful Judge of all (John 16:8–11). The Holy Spirit indwells believers, empowering us to serve and glorify Christ (Rom. 8:9). He leads us and gives us assurance of our salvation (vv. 14–16). He prays for us with groanings too deep for words (v. 26). He seals us, keeping us secure in Christ (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 4:30). The Spirit’s daily presence is the source and the secret of our sanctification as He conforms us to the image of Christ.
Instant Coffee Powder dissolved in 1 Tablespoon of water
INSTRUCTIONS
BUTTER CREAM FILLING
Dissolve the instant coffee in two tablespoons of water. Put the 3 ounces
of hazelnuts into a food processor and grind them to a fine powder. Add all
the other ingredients and whiz until you have a lovely creamy mixture.
Grease and flour a 7-inch sandwich tin and pour in the mixture, smoothing
the top down. Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 350F, 180C, and bake for
about 25 minutes, until the cake is brown and has shrunk away from the
sides of the tin.
To make the butter cream filling, all you do is either beat together the
butter, icing sugar and coffee until you have a smooth cream. When the cake
is ready, turn it out onto a rack, and when it has cooled, split it into
two and sandwich it together with the butter cream filling. Alternatively,
fill it with apricot jam and spread the butter cream over the cake and
decorate with the whole hazelnuts.
