I love this perspective! I'm a virgin who's saving myself for marriage, but honouring the Lord with my body is a much better mindset to have. I may never get married, and I'm okay with that.
I can't lie and say I'm OK with it as I do want to experience sex but if marriage doesn't happen then I guess unfortunately that is God will in that department
@bentennyson2565 Hmm. This is not really taught among Christians, but GOD'S WORD says that it is better to marry than to burn. Even as a Christian virgin, I am praying and believing for a godly man. I dont like when people say, "you may never get married." That is unhelpful. I feel like married Christians, and sometimes other single Christians penalize Christians who express that they want to be married. I've observed that Christians who are married who have this "marriage is not all that" (when God, in his word, calls marriage "the grace of life") went into marriage with pornography addictions, lust, or chose unwisely in the first place. I always feel like I have to pretend I'm okay with being single for the rest of my life, when I'm not. 🤷🏾♀️ And I feel like it's kind of implied that if you desire marriage, or feel lonely, or if that waiting is painful, you don't love God enough or something. People who have this attitude, I always ask, "well, why did you get married?" Of course we should control ourselves, flee temptation, not make provision for the flesh. But if you have a desire to be married, you should pray and believe for a spouse. Honoring God with one's body also includes having sex within marriage.
@Deanna974 Thank you for saying that and I do know that the Bible says it's better to marry than burn with lust I was just responding in context of the video. But I fully agree with what you said I hate when Christians say that as it isn't helpful at all because it makes me feel bad for wanting sex, love, marriage, and to not be lonely and like you said it feels like I have to pretend like I'm ok with it when I'm not. Whenever Christians or married people in general say marriage isn't all that I feel like it comes from the perspective of someone who's had it for a long time and like you said has other problems within their marriage. As happy couples never seem to say stuff like that.
If you're waiting till marriage.. Do it because of your commitment to God, to Christ and to yourself not because of your future spouse hunnies... If you do it for God, you'll never get disappointed no matter wat
If you remove sex from the table, you get to see people for who they truly are and their motivations… Holding onto your purity, in a world where people want to use you, is very smart. Until you find someone with pure intentions, who has done emotional and spiritual work to heal their wounds, don’t lose your virginity.
Virginity is the most sacred and special gift a person can give their spouse once they are married. All should wait for marriage as God intended. God bless!
@@Weneed2talktv Agreed, purity and abstinence are both very important for yourself and your future spouse. Although, it is best to remain abstinent and wait for the one God has for you to marry before giving your first to them. Not all are called to marriage but most are. Regardless, men and women should always keep their first time for marriage as God intends. People raised in Christian families should be taught what to and not to do but many lack a parent or we’re raised by ungodly people. Society unfolds around us daily and God willing He will fix things but if not then Heaven awaits the believers.
Man, I've been struggling with pornography since i was 8 years old. Jesus saved me at 21. Im 34 now, and it's still a struggle. I win way more than i lose. But i know i will be set free by this as long as i keep my eyes to Christ
Praying that complete freedom would abide and abound for you in Jesus’ Name, even now! That the love of Christ and for Christ would completely fill your mind, heart, desires and life. & that Holy Spirit would rest upon you 🙌🏽 Keep choosing life and pursuing Christ. Rooting for you!

just live righteously. That's it. Nothing more nothing less. Purity is all encompassing however. A lot of Christians get caught up in the fact that as long as they aren't having sex that they are being holy. Holiness is a mindset and has a lot to do with character. Treating people respectfully is within purity. Not cussing out someone that gets on your nerves is apart of purity. Refraining from gossiping and slandering is apart of purity. But many of us don't think that way.
Yup! All parts of us should be presented as a sacrifice. Pleasing and honoring to God. Praying to be convicted by the Holy Spirit so I could begin to change what I needed to brought me into therapy, gave me better friendships and now I’m engaged to the love of my life - he’s a man of God who never would’ve looked at or for me if I wasn’t changed and transformed *truly* by Holy Spirit.
Wow!! This was confirmation. I gave away my virginity at 15 because no one taught me the value. So I put together a lesson on Purity for our homeschooled teenagers and I emphasized that the value of their purity should be for God first and not just for marriage. It’s easier to compromise if you set your mind to save it for marriage. But if you see your body as Gods temple you will not compromise in the same way. The value is MUCH different.

Unfortunately, i am a single mom as a result of fornication and staying with the wrong man for too long. But i have been practicing abstinence til marriage for a year now despite my past but I really love this teaching!

After watching the video, I believe it's safe to say that I hear you. Points that I have taken from the video: 1. It's best to have a mindset of Honoring God with the body that He has bestowed you, than to continue to believe that you're saving yourself for a future spouse, because then your body doesn't belong to the Lord, but to your spouse, which sounds wrong. 2. Sexual purity should reign in thought, conversation, body, and act. 3. There's nothing we can do to make us pure other than wearing the purity and rightness of God. 4. Submit to God, be obedient to God. 5. Our past mistakes does not matter in the Lord's eyes. 6 There are consequences for our actions. 7. Jesus Christ deems us pure, so we may honor our Father in Heaven. 8. We have to adopt His Word and Understanding so we may honor in the right way.
And your body does belong to your spouse once you have one. But it is only in submission to the Word that declares it. So we can’t escape honoring God first. And if our drive to honor God is prioritized then we will continue to honor Him, despite what our spouses do or don’t do.
This was REALLY good. Been abstinent for 4 years. This made me realize Im still not sexually pure. Although i dont watch porn i dont shy away from sex scenes in show, movies etc. Hallelujah feel like Ive been set free. I will be more careful to fast forward those scenes so my mind wont start reminiscing to my old self. Thanks Ezekiel
This is so true. A lot of people questioned how i keep myself so long. It must be someone special then i tell them its not my partner but i just want to respect and see Gods way. I realised i might not ever meet someone because i can wait forever so I want to show God's promise and blessing
I broke my 7 year streak 😢. The reality is that we were not meant to go into our 30s even 40s 50s unmarried with no sexual partner , this was written when people were getting married at 15, 18, etc.. we are stretching this out soo much to the point where it becomes impossible. And your body will remind you that it’s pretty much shutting down..But I believe that God is graceful and can make it (marriage) happen even when it’s deemed to be too late

Interesting perspective and it makes more sense. God is Holy and we honor him with our body not because we are waiting for someone. Our bodies are the temple of God.❤ Beautiful 😍 I am honoring God with my Body whether married or not. ❤
This was something I really needed to hear, my ex used to tell me that because I wanted a family so bad then she has no doubt God has something planned for me. I started to believe her but she doesn't get to decide that, God does. And unfortunately I've compromised myself with her in ways I shouldn't have by making excuses and playing the Law like the Sadducees and pharisees. I repent of my sin and changing my mindset to accept I may never have that simple pleasure in life is very hard to do, especially when I've gotten a taste already. but in doing I become a living sacrifice as the Christ Yahawashai (Jesus) was for me and I got to remember that in the grand scheme of things this life is short lived, a means to and end, and greater things are in the Kingdom which will come.
So grateful for this today. I’ve been walking with this perspective for a good minute now and it’s made such a difference in my life! I’m genuinely surprised (in a good way) by God and how He’d just drop this piece of affirmation before me today. May the Holy Spirit continue to move in all of our TH-cam algorithms. 🙌🏾
My God is good! Teach us your ways and lead us into your righteousness cause ours is nasty and dirty! Let us to honour you with our bodies cause you'r word declares that we were bought with a High price and we belongs to you!
Wow, I never thought about purity in this way! I'm a virgin and I have always said that I'm saving myself for my spouse. I guess I conditioned myself to think this way bc sex is connected to marriage. You made some great points!
This is sound and scriptural teaching! Thank you for helping us to understand God's Word all the more. Now that I understand, may I not only be a hearer but a doer as well. I also shared this teaching on my FB page so others can learn!
Honoring God with my body reminded me of Joshua 24v14, “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth,” Thank you brother very edifying. May the Lord bless you mightily! 🙏🏽
Great distinction with your wording, brother. It's a paradigm shift that's puts our minds back on the Lord and honor Him with what He's given to us. Honoring Him with the body trumps saving ourselves
Be blessed for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you and have this conversation brother! Everything you said just hit the nail on the head and I pray that this message may be heard and understaood by all christians and especially the new and upcoming generations because there's many things coming up trying to twist the idea of purity as a Christian and this change in mindset is key to realising and living the truth -that is our Lord and Sviour Jesus Christ. Once again blessings unto you!
Wow!! I don't have the words to describe how amazing and beautiful this video is. At first when I saw the thumbnail I was like "What?!", but I was still interested in hearing what he had to say. I am glad that God put this on my heart to watch the video.
My partner and I said vows together . I made my family aware, my children, and my Sunday school class. There was no officiant. Just us. We feel like we were heard by God and are married in his eyes.
Wow!! I never knew how to fully articulate this but this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for being obedient and being an open vessel to the Lord❤️
You better say that Ezekiel!!! Thank you for using your platform like this. This conversation is needed!! I pray that God waters these seeds you are planting into a harvest of purity! In Jesus name!!
Woow!!! I was quite skeptical about this preaching and I was like nowadays people have their own interpretations of the word and I am glad. I have gotten the bigger picture of the message and I feel much freer in spirit and soul, and even as I carry myself with this body!!! ❤❤❤😇
I believe this a more positive perspective to Christians/believers honoring or struggling to honor God! Purity is very deep and I always had that understanding you spoke on. I appreciate how you took time to break it down. I believe the best approach to take as a believer is to stop lying to your skin and God. Be honest about your skin (strengths and weaknesses) and seek God for the strength in obedience you need/want for the time you’ll be on earth, not just the moment.
Thank you. This is an on time conversation. I am honoring God with my body, in my mind, in heart, in soul, in thought, in my viewing in Jesus Name Amen ❤
Wow. I initially just read the captions and clicked only to comment and thank for the perspective... as I was able to actually listen- this is truly a beautiful post! The passion and grace in the delivery is beautiful. Great job sir. To God be the glory. 🙏🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
Wowww 🙏🏾😢🤩🤩🤩The most beautiful and powerful teaching about honouring God with our bodies!! It's crazy i just found this, i had recently told God I want to honour him with all that i am including the food i put into my body, what i watch, what i say, etc. Nomore saying im saving myself for marriage! Honouring God with my body is perfectly beautiful 🙌🏾
Oh, yeah guys, you don’t save yourself for marriage if you’re not even in a relationship….You love God with your soul, heart, and mind no matter what happens to you or comes your way!!!! Stay blessed^^
This is an EXCELLENT perspective! Thank you very much for you wisdom! Definitely going to switch my language, ESPECIALLY while trying to train up! 🙏🏽 Blessings to you sunshine!
It's mostly about being marriage minded and avoiding casual dating practices. I think this is the whole point of chastity. Don't sleep with someone if there's no intention to do anything serious with them. Sexual overindulgence does us no good
I’ve spoken to Minister Ezekiel about this before. I understand that the phrase can come across as idolization. To the pure all things are pure. I do believe virgins need to not idolized a virginity. One can be proud, as in grateful to God for helping that individual withstand sexual Temptations. Virgins aren’t perfect, but through Christ Jesus, we are pure. Yes, I understand. They are virgins who are doing extra into everything but region. No pun intended.
I've never idolized my virginity and as a woman of God I am far from perfect, no one is perfect. I also don't go around telling everyone my business but I am proud of myself for making this decision for myself and to please and honor God's will. And the last thing I'm going to do is go back and forth with a stranger because my small comment offended you, which is weird. Praying you have a good day!
I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm fine with not being married or called to singleness because I hate being single and want to experience sex, love, and marriage. Plus it's hard feeling these urges everyday but if that's his plan if course I'll accept it but I can't say I'd be happy.
Can I say this? Allow God to teach you something in your singleness, I get it your are waiting on God but if you really hate being single I don't think you'll appreciate what God wants to do in your life and teach you in this season of singleness... just my opinion, but I hope this finds you well.
Well…I’m going back to my dating profiles and rectifying this statement, it’s now going to be that, ‘I am honouring God my body and staying abstinent until I get married’ Thanks for sharing this, God bless you
Really love the analogy about how we conduct ourselves when we wear white shoes or clothing. Indeed we must move differently because we are wearing the garment of righteousness which must not be stained by pollution from the world. And even if it got stained we must get cleaned by the blood of Jesus.
Sometimes it feels like so much to do as Christian virgin. Its like a list of things to always do: be responsible, walk with Christ, pray every single day, be consistent in Bible reading, don't get horny, suppress sexual desires, don't give into temptation, always be hopeful. I am discouraged
Fall in love with Jesus again. He is satisfaction and will satisfy you. It was never supposed to be about a list of things to check off to be the best Christian you can be. We want to be like Jesus, and this is only accomplished by being with Him and beholding Him. When you’re in love, none of it is a chore but a delight to just be with the one you love. Does it take discipline, of course - but so does everything else you desire to accomplish in the natural. We pray because we love Him, we read our bibles because we want to know Him. When desires come, we trust Him to keep us from falling, and if we do fall “ if we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us” (1 John 1:9). Hope this encourages you.

Am so glad I got myself to watch it. Thank you so much for great wisdom. God bless you Sir!
I left a relationship and decided to honor God even before I made a true commitment to God and so my purity was based on honoring God not for a husband my body is a temple first a covenant with God to reign in my body

I started to believe her but she doesn't get to decide that, God does. And unfortunately I've compromised myself with her in ways I shouldn't have by making excuses and playing the Law like the Sadducees and pharisees.
I repent of my sin and changing my mindset to accept I may never have that simple pleasure in life is very hard to do, especially when I've gotten a taste already. but in doing I become a living sacrifice as the Christ Yahawashai (Jesus) was for me and I got to remember that in the grand scheme of things this life is short lived, a means to and end, and greater things are in the Kingdom which will come.
I loved this! Glorifying God with my body. Understanding that purity is so much more than simple penetration. Hit the nail on the head with this one
26 year old virgin I desire marriage and motherhood. The journey is lonely thank you for the encouragement.
God is saving me for marriage, his strength 🙏🏾
This is a classical example of doing the right things for the right reasons
I've been saving myself for marriage , so I'm eager to watch this and hear his perspective.
Samariasade same here
I am honoring God with the body/temple He’s given me
True. Marriage is not the destination. Godliness is.
So grateful for this today. I’ve been walking with this perspective for a good minute now and it’s made such a difference in my life! I’m genuinely surprised (in a good way) by God and how He’d just drop this piece of affirmation before me today. May the Holy Spirit continue to move in all of our TH-cam algorithms. 🙌🏾
My God is good! Teach us your ways and lead us into your righteousness cause ours is nasty and dirty! Let us to honour you with our bodies cause you'r word declares that we were bought with a
High price and we belongs to you!
Wow, I never thought about purity in this way! I'm a virgin and I have always said that I'm saving myself for my spouse. I guess I conditioned myself to think this way bc sex is connected to marriage. You made some great points!
Girl same here 🙏🏾😅
This is sound and scriptural teaching! Thank you for helping us to understand God's Word all the more. Now that I understand, may I not only be a hearer but a doer as well. I also shared this teaching on my FB page so others can learn!
Twisting the message isn't "sound scriptural teaching" ...its manipulation.
Honoring God with my body reminded me of Joshua 24v14, “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth,”
Thank you brother very edifying. May the Lord bless you mightily! 🙏🏽
Great distinction with your wording, brother. It's a paradigm shift that's puts our minds back on the Lord and honor Him with what He's given to us. Honoring Him with the body trumps saving ourselves
I really appreciated your breakdown of purity in this regard. I definitely grew from this brief word.
Glad it was helpful!
Saving yourself doesn’t equal ending up with a good partner esp if you have no knowledge on relationships and how they walk
Be blessed for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you and have this conversation brother! Everything you said just hit the nail on the head and I pray that this message may be heard and understaood by all christians and especially the new and upcoming generations because there's many things coming up trying to twist the idea of purity as a Christian and this change in mindset is key to realising and living the truth -that is our Lord and Sviour Jesus Christ.
Once again blessings unto you!
Wow!! I don't have the words to describe how amazing and beautiful this video is. At first when I saw the thumbnail I was like "What?!", but I was still interested in hearing what he had to say. I am glad that God put this on my heart to watch the video.
Amen!! Thank you so much 😀
My partner and I said vows together . I made my family aware, my children, and my Sunday school class. There was no officiant. Just us. We feel like we were heard by God and are married in his eyes.
Wow!! I never knew how to fully articulate this but this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for being obedient and being an open vessel to the Lord❤️
This in depth perspective will make a difference for those facing temptation.
You better say that Ezekiel!!! Thank you for using your platform like this. This conversation is needed!! I pray that God waters these seeds you are planting into a harvest of purity! In Jesus name!!
Awesome teaching on purity! Thank you and Continued Blessings!
I do not have the words to articulate how this edified me! Thank you ❤
Almost blocked you @ 0:12 😂😂
Hallelujah you're preaching
From now on im honouring christ with my body
Woow!!! I was quite skeptical about this preaching and I was like nowadays people have their own interpretations of the word and I am glad. I have gotten the bigger picture of the message and I feel much freer in spirit and soul, and even as I carry myself with this body!!! ❤❤❤😇
I definitely needed this clarification on Purity. Thank you for this. ❤
Thank you Jesus for this light, help us walk in it!
You cannot be pure without Christ!!!
This was good!!! This is meat of the word. 💪🏾 thank you! I had to learn this! You are blessing us, with the truth of God.
Glad it was helpful!
I believe this a more positive perspective to Christians/believers honoring or struggling to honor God! Purity is very deep and I always had that understanding you spoke on. I appreciate how you took time to break it down.
I believe the best approach to take as a believer is to stop lying to your skin and God. Be honest about your skin (strengths and weaknesses) and seek God for the strength in obedience you need/want for the time you’ll be on earth, not just the moment.
Thank you. This is an on time conversation. I am honoring God with my body, in my mind, in heart, in soul, in thought, in my viewing in Jesus Name Amen ❤
Wow. I initially just read the captions and clicked only to comment and thank for the perspective... as I was able to actually listen- this is truly a beautiful post! The passion and grace in the delivery is beautiful. Great job sir. To God be the glory. 🙏🏽💪🏽🙏🏽
I heard God through you rn. Thank you for teaching me better. May God continue to use you 💕
PRAISE THE LORD, GOOD MORNING, THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT TEACHING 🎉, I HOPE IT GOES VIRAL. THANK YOU MAN OF GOD.
So good. Holy spirit is speaking through you❤
I really appreciate this perspective and I think this will help me a ton. God bless you brother. Shalom Shalom
Wowww 🙏🏾😢🤩🤩🤩The most beautiful and powerful teaching about honouring God with our bodies!! It's crazy i just found this, i had recently told God I want to honour him with all that i am including the food i put into my body, what i watch, what i say, etc. Nomore saying im saving myself for marriage! Honouring God with my body is perfectly beautiful 🙌🏾
🤯🤯mind blown. Love this. Thanks for this.. We honour God with our bodies.🗣 🗣
Oh, yeah guys, you don’t save yourself for marriage if you’re not even in a relationship….You love God with your soul, heart, and mind no matter what happens to you or comes your way!!!! Stay blessed^^
This is an EXCELLENT perspective! Thank you very much for you wisdom! Definitely going to switch my language, ESPECIALLY while trying to train up! 🙏🏽 Blessings to you sunshine!
It's mostly about being marriage minded and avoiding casual dating practices. I think this is the whole point of chastity. Don't sleep with someone if there's no intention to do anything serious with them. Sexual overindulgence does us no good
I’ve spoken to Minister Ezekiel about this before. I understand that the phrase can come across as idolization. To the pure all things are pure. I do believe virgins need to not idolized a virginity. One can be proud, as in grateful to God for helping that individual withstand sexual Temptations. Virgins aren’t perfect, but through Christ Jesus, we are pure. Yes, I understand. They are virgins who are doing extra into everything but region. No pun intended.
I've never idolized my virginity and as a woman of God I am far from perfect, no one is perfect. I also don't go around telling everyone my business but I am proud of myself for making this decision for myself and to please and honor God's will. And the last thing I'm going to do is go back and forth with a stranger because my small comment offended you, which is weird. Praying you have a good day!
@@samariasade941I second this!! And my name is Sadé too! 😊💕
God bless you sir
I will not compromise Period.
I'm not going to lie to you and say I'm fine with not being married or called to singleness because I hate being single and want to experience sex, love, and marriage. Plus it's hard feeling these urges everyday but if that's his plan if course I'll accept it but I can't say I'd be happy.
Can I say this? Allow God to teach you something in your singleness, I get it your are waiting on God but if you really hate being single I don't think you'll appreciate what God wants to do in your life and teach you in this season of singleness... just my opinion, but I hope this finds you well.
Well I heard a sermon that says God is more focused on our holiness than on our happiness:
@@isabellashija3056!!! Never heard this before and I’m gonna go write it down ! This is a word !
If you’re a Christian, you’ve been saved from hell and will spend eternity with the King Himself. How can’t we be happy with that?
This is tough. ❤ so many hidden gems in this.
Honoring God With My Body! I loveee that perspective!
Well…I’m going back to my dating profiles and rectifying this statement, it’s now going to be that, ‘I am honouring God my body and staying abstinent until I get married’
Thanks for sharing this, God bless you
This was an excellent video! Very eye opening and a much needed watch. 💯💯💯
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a good prospective! I honor God with my body.
Amen
Amen🙌 may the Lord help us
YEPPPPP, I came to this realization that too often in the process we end up idolizing the “idea” of marriage and losing our servitude to God.
Great biblical teaching and perspective on this topic. Praise God
This was good!!! This is meat of the word. 💪🏾 thank you! I had to learn this!
This makes so much sense
Really love the analogy about how we conduct ourselves when we wear white shoes or clothing. Indeed we must move differently because we are wearing the garment of righteousness which must not be stained by pollution from the world. And even if it got stained we must get cleaned by the blood of Jesus.
Being 22m and honoring with my body is definitely hard but i know its the rihht thing and worth it in the future.
Amen
I like this perspective a lot
Profound and rich perspective. Thank you.
All true, thank you for sharing this perspective from Gods Word 🙏🏾
Wow this is a life changing word thank you Ezekiel God bless you bro ❤️🙏
Thanks for listening
Sometimes it feels like so much to do as Christian virgin. Its like a list of things to always do: be responsible, walk with Christ, pray every single day, be consistent in Bible reading, don't get horny, suppress sexual desires, don't give into temptation, always be hopeful. I am discouraged
Hmm, when you feel discouraged, ask God for His help. We can only do things without being worn down, through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Fall in love with Jesus again. He is satisfaction and will satisfy you. It was never supposed to be about a list of things to check off to be the best Christian you can be. We want to be like Jesus, and this is only accomplished by being with Him and beholding Him. When you’re in love, none of it is a chore but a delight to just be with the one you love. Does it take discipline, of course - but so does everything else you desire to accomplish in the natural. We pray because we love Him, we read our bibles because we want to know Him. When desires come, we trust Him to keep us from falling, and if we do fall “ if we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us” (1 John 1:9). Hope this encourages you.
Which part makes you discouraged? Is it the pressure?
@@wildonez3076 pressure to be perfect in my walk with Jesus
Hmm.
This is not really taught among Christians, but GOD'S WORD says that it is better to marry than to burn. Even as a Christian virgin myself, I am praying and believing for a godly man.
I dont like when people say, "you may never get married." That is unhelpful. I feel like married Christians, and sometimes other single Christians penalize Christians who express that they want to be married. I've observed that Christians who are married who have this "marriage is not all that" (when God, in his word, calls marriage "the grace of life") went into marriage with pornography addictions, lust, or chose unwisely in the first place.
Of course we should control ourselves, flee temptation, not make provision for the flesh. But if you have a desire to be married, you should pray and believe for a spouse.
I need to come back to see this.
he had us in the first half fr
Nothing but the fire of the HOLY SPIRIT HERE!
Wow, great stuff right there! 👍
When I saw the title I was like 🤔 hmmm... But then I was curious to know what you mean, I saved the video a few days ago but today decided I would put on an objective mindset and a few minutes into the video am like ok...
Am so glad I got myself to watch it. Thank you so much for great wisdom. God bless you Sir!
Do it for God🙏🏾💙
I left a relationship and decided to honor God even before I made a true commitment to God and so my purity was based on honoring God not for a husband my body is a temple first a covenant with God to reign in my body
FATHER I REPENT FOR NOT HONOURING MY BODY.AND I THANK YOU Forgiveness. AMEN 😮
God is faithful! He doesn't lie! Purity is a good thing. ❤
Ezekiel, this was so good! God bless you!
I'm honoring God with my Body!!!
Ameennnn🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽‼️praise God, I needed this.
God bless you for the clarification
This is soo good ! I’m honoring God with my body !! ❤️
