"SEXUAL IMMORALITY". Today's sub-title is "SEXUAL TEMPTATION."
LIFE IS PRECIOUS! It is a gift. And I am one who loves gifts!
I consider this information I'm sharing with you, a gift.
Knowledge is POWER!
This knowledge will help you retain that precious gift that is life, YOUR life!
1 Corinthians 6:13
(1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 13)
*For those who don't know, choose to ignore wisdom and for those who say...
"SEX TOPICS ARE NOT WRITTEN ABOUT IN THE BIBLE!"
You need to stick around and READ THIS!
Temptations for Sexual Sin are ALL AROUND! That and the consequences for giving into them are all around us as well! Maybe you can look at your own life and see the manifestation of sexual sin! Babies out of wedlock that you didn't plans for, you dropped out of school to get a job to support, death and disease, broken marriages, etc. The list is long!
Verse 13
"Food for the stomach and the stomach for food." -but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."
"NO ONE should under-estimate the power of SEXUAL IMMORALITY."
"It has devastated countless lives and destroyed families, churches, communities, and even nations!" Sexual immorality is a temptation that is always before us. In the movies, television, and in the music (Oh! boy!). I just heard a song where a man was crooning, " I want your body.", then I immediately thought about another song, Oh! What was it?... "Ain't nothing wrong with a little bump and grind. " Are you kidding? Immoral sex, will send you right into your own personal hell of problems! Many, many of you can say Amen to that ! Because it has infected YOUR LIFE! EVEN THE GUY who sang that song, was in court and in the news for HIS OWN personal immoral sex problems, that included sex with minors and marrying one of them! Lying about her age on the marriage license!!! Be careful who and what you are following people! "Ain't nothing wrong..." God help us all!
sex outside of marriage is treated as a normal, even a desirable part of life, WHILE MARRIAGE is often shown as confining and joyless. (There is a "proper" place or situation for sex in our lives. We will explore that in an upcoming article on this subject.)
We can even be looked down on by others if we are suspected of being "pure". (People have been known to tease others about being a virgin. They pressure them to give up their purity. Fathers and uncles taking sons and nephews to whore houses to.... "become a man", for instance. Corruption and introduction to God forbidden sexual immorality is really what they are rewarded with!)
But God does not forbid sexual sin just to be difficult! He knows its power to destroy us physically and spiritually. It has devastated countless lives! God wants to protect us from damaging ourselves and others and so he offers to fill us - our loneliness, our desires-with himself. Meaning that God wants to draw us, you unto himself and teach us, you his ways, through scripture and his knowledge, for our own souls sake.
You KNOW more of us NEED...GOTTA HAVE...this wisdom about sexual immorality and the consequences of it! It is because of the "mis-use" of sex that many of us have some of the major problems that we do! Sisters and brothers have severed ties to one another because, a spouse was sleeping with his wife's sister...A brother killed his own brother, his mother and fathers son, because the one brother had sexual relations with the other brothers wife! Whole countries are devastated by sexual disease caused epidemics! Millions of orphaned children because both parents are dead from Aids. Even some sexual diseases that are not commonly known to kill, have killed from causing other medical problems because of lack of medical care in certain countries!
Sickness and disease is rampant and killing millions because people were and STILL ARE having sex with people other than their spouses. Yes! Some of the diseases were exchanged, most often unknowingly, BEFORE the marriages. But if you were into 'SAVING SEX', until you found that one partner to marry, you would not have had that sexually transmitted disease to spread to your now spouse! You can argue with me about it, you can! But what good is it gonna do? Truth is truth! Be educated by it and stop fighting it! Grow up already! It is for your own well being!
It is for your children's sake as well! Do you how many babies are born with HIV every year! Do you know how many of them die from it before the child has actually had a chance to live? Do you know how many babies are born with herpes, gonorrhea, etc. Check your local Community health center. They will be glad to inform you! They will also do it discreetly. Many community health centers will not even ask for your name! Their job is to inform and prevent (if they can) any more infections of any kind! Their job is to keep the community and ll of society as safe and as informed as possible. So, go on, talk with them. Don't just take my word for it!
So come on! Let's get real already! Lets get un-selfish because this is just not about you! As I have just stated with the baby scenario, this IS NOT JUST ABOUT YOU! It is also about everyone you and your sex mate comes in sexual contact with. I know you are smart Dear Reader, but this is for the one who is not as smart as you! OK! Bare with me now! Case in point, You have sex with you "boyfriend" or "girlfriend, wife or husband, then you break up them or cheat as it were...NOW EVERYONE YOU HAD SEX WITH, HAS NOW HAD SEX with everyone YOU have HAD SEX WITH! UM HMM. When you have sex (condoms or not) bodily fluids still flow out of you! And if a condom breaks, slips off or fluids are spilled because the condom is taken off improperly...if that happens, YOU HAVE A POTENTIAL DISASTER!
Get this now! Even though, you and he may be the only ones, at that time, partaking of each other sexually, you still have had an "orgy". Because of the bodily fluids shared, YOU HAVE STILL just HAD SEX WITH not just one person (him or her), but with EVERYONE your partner has had sex with! GROSS! I KNOW. Some of you may be saying, "but I only had sex with one person in my whole life", YEAH, BUT HOW MANY SEX PARTNERS HAVE THEY HAD??? Let me just clue you in or remind you, sexually transmitted diseases, even the ones that won't kill you, like herpes or chlamydia, etc, can still be passed on. There is supposedly, no known cure for Herpes. Only medications to control it. So, once you get herpes, it is supposedly with you for the REST OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!
Helloooo! Are you getting this? That special person, that you've been waiting for all of your life, may come into your life and prove their love for you! But upon finding out about your disease, whatever it may be, may cause them to re-think their choice in you. A lot of people are not willing to put themselves at unnecessary health risks even for love! Honestly, Can you blame them?
And by the way, although herpes is not necessarily a killer, BUT it has been know in rare cases to travel to the brain, and killing within days. Ask your doctor. They'll tell you these are rare cases, but they have been documented! Because the herpes virus embeds itself in the nervous system, it is hard to attack it hard medically, without serious risk to the patient. Because it is in the nervous system, is why it can, even rarely, travel to other parts of the body, then to the brain, causing infection and ultimately death, if not caught soon enough, within hours or days!
So, don't listen to that good looking infected man or woman you just think you GOT TO HAVE them sexually saying that "herpes can't kill you!. " Herpes can be controlled with medicine." THEN ASK YOURSELF, "Do I want to take that risk?" "Is this act of immoral sex or is this person REALLY WORTH THE AGONY!"
Sexual immorality affects MORE THAN just your body it does affect your spirit. It does affect your relationship with Christ and with God the Father. Protecting your body from fornication (sex outside of marriage) and other sexual sins is necessary for a healthy body, healthy spirit life as well. You are TOO VALUABLE either way. Don't risk it! And even if you have lived a life involving sexual sin, you can stop and change your ways. You are still living, it is not too late...yet!
We'll talk some more about this next time.
It's a lot to cover and I REALLY want you to get this!
Make smart decisions, live and Stay safe people!
