“But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.”
James 1:14 ESV
Twisting scripture is a matter of wrong interpretation. If we are allowing our heart to replace the authority of God when we approach the Word, we will come to the Word in search of our heart's desire and not the truth of the Word.

Remember
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Jeremiah 17:9-10 ESV
“Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.”
Proverbs 28:26 ESV

This is exactly why it’s vital to guard our hearts and pray for a fresh filling of the Spirit. May we not be deluded of our own desires, and learn to cling to the Spirit of God as our guide through the scriptures.
