This is exactly what healed my porn addiction, after repenting and reseaving the holy spirit, never looked at it again or touched myself, its 1 year now. Before i couldnt resist the lust for more than 2 days. All glory to god, come to jesus with an honest heart and he will help you.
Sexual desire....lust....this is so so powerful. Not until you're reeling in your own disgust towards yourself about how far down you've gone....do you realize how little control you hold over this sin by yourself. May God grant me strength. I, alone, can do nothing. Even worse that its homosexual sin...and the world tells me to embrace what God abhores. The division bell rings, and here I sit torn between two spirits. The nature of the body, and the will of the Spirit. May Christ save me!
@@matthewhart8125 Yes. The struggle is abundant and help cannot be found nearly anywhere...except in the Word, and those who really believe in the Word.
I’m 9 months sober from porn and almost 5 months sober from masturbating. Everyday is hard and a battle. I’ve never thought I got this far. Praise God!!! It’s a lot of sacrifice to. I don’t have social media anymore. It’s def a mindset switch. Renewing of the mind.
Man I can't put into words how happy I am for you two. As a single 26yo guy it's wonderful to see such great examples from people like you. Everyone does or thinks wrong stuff but the ones who repent and move on are the ones God loves!
Give me strength this New Year. Heavenly Father, I come to you today asking for your blessings as a single mom. My husband is in heaven with you. I’m raising my children with strength and courage, despite the challenges I face with my sons being autistic. Lord as I struggle to pay my rent every month and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I ask that you bless me with your wisdom and guidance, as I navigate parenthood on my own heal my lupus and heart disease and continue to give me strength to keep going so I may watch my sons grow into men. ❤
Mothers are the closest thing to Gods love. You may be ill. Your sons may not become perfect in this life. But remember the story of sweet little James. How Jesus did NOT heal him for his faith in his condition spread more faith. For he believed with no miracle of his own. Powerful story.
This really spoke to me. I’ve been working at Starbucks for over a year now and when I got this job I wasn’t fully saved yet. Overall the job is not what I want to continue to do in the future but I’ve stayed because it’s in a convenient location and it’s paying me enough to help my parents with bills and still have enough money for myself. But the working conditions are not good at all and I’ve been praying that I get a new job soon.
Every moment of my life I fight this sexual urges but by the grace of God thru Lord Jesus he knows that I cannot overcome this urge without his help theres no impossible on him if you called him with all your heart, humbling yourself by admitting and surrendering all the load that you have in you mind and heart, because Sexual Sin is the most powerful tool used by Satan to decieved and let people walk away from God
Amen Amen! 2 Peter 1 has become my daily meditation & been a very powerful transformative work in my Faith.. and walk in the Spirit with Christ. 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Continued… through v21.
Excellent Perception! Let’s TAP into the Power of the HOLYSPIRIT to Overcome the Lust of This present world and its fleshly desires within it, HalleluYah!
I just began listening. Scrolling,I'm hoping to find this comment and if he dosnt mention it I'll be disappointed. Fasting is not even emphasized enough in churches or anywhere meanwhile it's the main key !!! Demons flee!! True christians fast. Period. The way he lives and the way he walked"
God can take away all sin, but He doesn't, because God wants us to trust Christ's righteousness. He allows us to be afflicted as part of the trial of faith.
Jesus paid for all our sins in the cross. If you are a child of God, then Jesus paid for all your sins, past, present and future. Jesus has won the battle on the cross. Col 21:15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross The battle is won. If you believe this then you are free, no more guilt, nor more condemnation in Christ Jesus. No more slavery to sin. Now that there is freedom, you must abide in His Word and truth. John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” If we are falling into this sin. Then there’s still lies we are believing, and one of the lies is as you said, we start trusting in ourselves instead of Christ, which God can allow us to fall. But we never had to if we kept our focus on Christ , and resist sin till bloodshed, and cut of anything that causes us to sin, as that is abiding in His Word. Roman’s 8: 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us But we must fight against this sin through fasting, prayer, reading His word, everytime temptation or thoughts come, resist, resist, pray , pray, and when you resist the devil he will flee. Don’t listen to the lies of ‘just sin you already thought of something’ noo, that’s a lie, or ‘you have to sin’ these thoughts will go away through patient endurance. You can be free from this sin, God’s Holy Spirit is the one putting to death the deeds of the flesh, Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. You can be free brothers! The finished work of Jesus, God’s truth, the Holy Spirit,, the helmet of salvation, shield of faith, breastplate of righteousness, God has given all things for your victory, God wants your freedom more than you do, I’ll tell you that. However, IF you do fall, then confess your sins, 1john1: 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 2:1-2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins:
@@danielbelteshazzar-mg7rb I think you misunderstood his point Daniel, yes you’re right sexual desire is not a sin but it becomes a sin when you give yourselves into it and fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Now the way to overcome it is through faith and by the grace of christ alone and thats what he is is trying say that god has the very power to overcome it or to kill the lies but the thing is you need to believe that god has that very power, a desire becomes sin when you give yourselves into it and by faith we acknowledge that god has given the very power to kill that sin, eventually overcoming those desires by truth. He is talking about FAITH to overcome sin.
Men and women, it’s not just looking at an attractive person. It’s talking to them on a regular basis. That could be through text, phone calls, video chats. It’s talking to them regularly that you have all this build up and a strong attraction towards them. Or is even remembering an ex and wanting to be with them again.
The key, if we can speak in those category's, is to know that we have to believe our union with Christ in his death and resurrection, we need to "consider ourselves" in other words believe that this reality already happened in you. Faith in our union with Christ is the key and stop thinking that Romans 7 is Cristian experience but rather Romans 8.
I have sins that I have recognised and have not repented from. I know they are sins and they feel good. My first one is erotic imaginations of an imaginary wife (Matthew 5:28-29). The second one is my disbelief that the marriage to Jesus is better than marital sexual intercourse (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, Luke 20:34-36) and that the fullness of joy at His presence and the eternal pleasures of His right hand are better (Psalm 16:11). The third one is my disbelief that the name and place God will give us in heaven is better than sons and daughters (Isaiah 56:4-5). I tell myself that the marriage to Jesus and the name and place He will give us are better, but deep inside, I do not feel it. My heart has been hardened with hostility against God ever since I was 10. I blamed God for everything bad that happened. And at 13, I began to entertain myself with erotically immoral imaginations and looking at erotically immoral things, which would have been hardening my heart with sin. I continued this high school, and I knew what I was doing was sinful, but did not have the will to repent because my sin felt good. I can only pray and ask others to help me pray that God does not harden me and leave me hardened like He did to Pharoah, but that He shows mercy to me like how He showed mercy to Apostle Paul while he was on His way to kill more Christians. Because aside from God changing me, I will not have the will to change myself. Those who are Arminians will say that God has already done everything, and while I am depraved, I still have the ability to use my free will to choose obedience, and God will not do the repenting for me. Those who are Calvinists will say that I am totally depraved, and aside from God regenerating me, I will never have the will to repent and obey, and I will still be responsible for my actions. If the Arminians are right, and I am left to my own will, I am doomed.
Ephesians 2, 1-8 1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience- 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Yes we have to be careful. I seen my now gf that I'm courting walking across the road and we looked at each other at the same time and i literally ran all the way across the road to introduce myself. I asked her within the first 10 seconds if she would like to go sit at a nearby restaurant and eat... she agreed and we laughed and ate. After we left the restaurant we were already holding hands and we walked and viewed different stores and looked around stores at cool things and while that was happening my desire for her got stronger. I asked for her to dance and she wrapped her arms around neck and i wrapped my arms around her waist and we hugged for literally 20 or so minutes and i kissed her and told her I'm interested in having a relationship with her and she agreed. I dont like to be the moral police but i do want to honor God. We did not ever have sex but i wanted to make it clear i wanted a relationship and not to be her friend. I even read in the Bible how Jacob saw Rachel and lifted a stone to impress her and then kissed her. I dont suggest anyone else do what i did i just would like to know if what i did was sin? It's not like i was approaching her with the intent to use her body but i liked her and visioned her being a wife to me
God knows your heart. It's simple, but if you thought about her in a sexual way before marriage that's already a sin so you gotta repent and hurry up with marriage.
Brothers and sisters! You all must understand that in order to protect your purity in marriage, your are to continually give each other your conjugal rights of sexual intimacy often… and sadly that is hardly being done in most Christian marriages…. Why is this? The sad reason is much deeper than you think. Be blessed by asking God to help you in your marriage if it is sexless!! He will provide wisdom!!
How can any sexual desire be anything other than wrong…… Makes me question if it’s even appropriate to desire marriage. I’m as serious as a heart attack when I write about this.
When you’re married to a believer & are equally yoked with that person, you become one in Christ with them. God created sex for good purposes, the desire itself isn’t necessarily bad, it’s the fact we abuse it because of our weak imperfect fallen selves in this earthly flesh. Lust over things we want & don’t have make us constantly self centered & prideful, not thinking of others & their complete wellbeing. That is why it is evil. We fail to realize this as time goes by, but the Spirit is always there for a reminder!
First Corinthians 9:13. Thanks be to God for His UNSPEAKABLE GIFT, ETERAL LIFE. No one can earn it. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin, we are DECEIVED and the TRUTH is not in us. Christ died to pay the penalty for our sin debt. John 3:18. Romans 6:23 For the penalty for sin is death, physical death, but, (the good news) THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD. Acts 16:31
Keep your mind on other things Beware of temptations Marriages don't always work such shall have Troubles of the flesh Paul recommended the single life Be pure and holy as Jesus is!
Must keep in mind Paul recommends single life for the sake of focusing on the things of God, not that it makes it easier on troubles of the flesh. Marriage has its benefits in allowing boundaries for sexual immorality not to be done, this was Paul’s suggestion to those struggling. Yes, marriage does not get rid of temptations, but for those who honor it, it allows them strong foundation to live pure lives.
From watching kids who were taught to think they were of my age playing house and home I never got interested in what they seemed to know happened in their households, one other thing that I think put me away from their behavior was I was told I am the only one who has someone no matter where I would go unlike you people finding love anywhere, I have been tried and tested and they know I would not get full erection it just would be like a drunk person being reminded to wake up and the one saying wake up not knowing he was drunk meaning when you leave him he falls asleep again, tried with thirteen girls but not even one would come out and tell you why they are not interested maybe they thought I don't have someone laughing their heads off saying ahhh he won't be happy and he won't find someone who would be waking up his dingiling now and again, guess what? I met her and we are starting to breathe in and out at the same time,the dingiling is aware too because when we have time to think about each other he gets curious and mans up like saying yeah now I am talking where is she
Dear Sir or Madam, if you are familiar with John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress where in that story the main Character “Pilgrim” reads the gospel for the first time and comes under the burden of sin, guilt, and hopelessness. Later in the book if you don’t know it, Pilgrim is instructed by a man named Evangelist to follow the narrow road and that he should come to the Cross at Calvary where Jesus Christ paid for our sins, and find it Pilgrim does. His burden was immediately flung off his back because he believed that savior Jesus Christ who died on that cross was for him, thus his believing in him alone saved him. When I came under the conviction of sin it took me 3 or 4 weeks before I was saved, because I thought my words and repentance could save me, but it was actually believing in Christs death and resurrection for all those who believe him then I became saved. I was so desperate I no longer relied on my own words but on Christ’s. And the darkness and guilt left me immediately in that moment I received salvation. Matthew 7:7-11 (ESV) 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. I hope this helps brother or sister and may God bless you.
The book of 1 John speaks about the life of a transformed heard (born again Christian). We may not be perfect, but if we see evidence of God working in our hearts and lives, then this is a good start!! God only disciplines and corrects His children (Hebrews 12:8-9). Surrender to the Lord Jesus every day (Luke 9:23). If you are born again/saved, He will continue to guide you to Himself as you yield and surrender to Him.
Do you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? It's by faith. Utterly faith. He says that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Believe it. Confess your sins and believe they're forgiven, believe that God is for you and not against you, because He has said, those who trust in Him will never be put to shame.
"For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:5-13) "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." (Mark 16:16)
The way to free yourself from sexual sin is to constantly remind yourself that God hates nakedness and sexual intercourse and you have to have the same desires as Him. Jesus said that in heaven, men and women do not marry or remain married to each other (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, Luke 20:34-36). Our bodies there will not have erotic desires or reproductive abilities but we must repent of erotic desires and other sinful desires in order to go to heaven. God does not like nakedness and sexual intercourse but He had to temporarily allow it on earth for reproduction which will not be needed in heaven. We will be married to Jesus in heaven but we will not be naked or having sexual intercourse even though it is a marriage. Nakedness even in the absence of erotic desires and sinful nature is still unrighteous in heaven, and the purpose of our white clothing is to represent righteousness (Revelation 19:8). Even when God came onto Mount Sinai, He told husbands not to have sexual intercourse with their wives (Exodus 19:15). So if God does not like sexual intercourse in marriage, He definitely does not like erotic sins. Even though marriage on earth illustrates the marriage to Jesus in heaven, the nakedness and sexual intercourse in the privacy of marriage does have anything to do with Jesus because as you can see, nakedness is still a bad thing even in the marriage to Jesus. The marriage to Jesus is like a man and woman being married and being intimate with each other in a non-erotic way and always having their clothes on. It is the modest parts of marriage that illustrate our relationship to Jesus and not the obscene parts.
I pray you will consider what the word of God says in regard to what you believe about God hating nakedness and sexual intercourse. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed." (Genesis 2:24-25) Before the Fall, God placed man and woman in the garden together naked ("Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.", Genesis 1:31). He gave the woman to man as a wife and they became one flesh. We can deduce that to become one flesh means they had sexual intercourse due to the fact Paul uses this phrasing in regard to sexual immorality: "Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” (1 Corinthians 6:16) Perhaps in an effort to abstain from sexual sin, you have set up guard rails to prevent yourself from falling into temptation. It is important we do not add anything to the word of God or we will lose sight of His teachings. May God give you wisdom to pursue Him faithfully and in purity.
thats why its so important to pray in tongues. when you walk in the spirit you wont fulfill the lusts of the flesh. almost no better way to walk in the spirit than pray in Gods heavenly language He gave to all Christians!

If the Arminians are right, and I am left to my own will, I am doomed.
Ephesians 2, 1-8
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience- 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Amen!
Yes we have to be careful.
I seen my now gf that I'm courting walking across the road and we looked at each other at the same time and i literally ran all the way across the road to introduce myself. I asked her within the first 10 seconds if she would like to go sit at a nearby restaurant and eat... she agreed and we laughed and ate. After we left the restaurant we were already holding hands and we walked and viewed different stores and looked around stores at cool things and while that was happening my desire for her got stronger. I asked for her to dance and she wrapped her arms around neck and i wrapped my arms around her waist and we hugged for literally 20 or so minutes and i kissed her and told her I'm interested in having a relationship with her and she agreed.
I dont like to be the moral police but i do want to honor God. We did not ever have sex but i wanted to make it clear i wanted a relationship and not to be her friend. I even read in the Bible how Jacob saw Rachel and lifted a stone to impress her and then kissed her.
I dont suggest anyone else do what i did i just would like to know if what i did was sin?
It's not like i was approaching her with the intent to use her body but i liked her and visioned her being a wife to me
God knows your heart. It's simple, but if you thought about her in a sexual way before marriage that's already a sin so you gotta repent and hurry up with marriage.
Me,i dont have this problem.my thoughts are occupied by the reading of bible, méditation worship and my activity...
Brothers and sisters! You all must understand that in order to protect your purity in marriage, your are to continually give each other your conjugal rights of sexual intimacy often… and sadly that is hardly being done in most Christian marriages…. Why is this? The sad reason is much deeper than you think. Be blessed by asking God to help you in your marriage if it is sexless!! He will provide wisdom!!
Spend the next ten years making babies.
@@Charles-mv7sv Yeup! Pretty much.
Time and always thinking about christ in spirit 1 cor 16 not in the flesh
How can any sexual desire be anything other than wrong……
Makes me question if it’s even appropriate to desire marriage.
I’m as serious as a heart attack when I write about this.
When you’re married to a believer & are equally yoked with that person, you become one in Christ with them. God created sex for good purposes, the desire itself isn’t necessarily bad, it’s the fact we abuse it because of our weak imperfect fallen selves in this earthly flesh. Lust over things we want & don’t have make us constantly self centered & prideful, not thinking of others & their complete wellbeing. That is why it is evil. We fail to realize this as time goes by, but the Spirit is always there for a reminder!
First Corinthians 9:13. Thanks be to God for His UNSPEAKABLE GIFT, ETERAL LIFE. No one can earn it.
First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin, we are DECEIVED and the TRUTH is not in us. Christ died to pay the penalty for our sin debt. John 3:18. Romans 6:23 For the penalty for sin is death, physical death, but, (the good news) THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE, Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD. Acts 16:31
When the pastor say "look for Christ" what it mean?
Keep your mind on other things
Beware of temptations
Marriages don't always work such shall have Troubles of the flesh
Paul recommended the single life
Be pure and holy as Jesus is!
Must keep in mind Paul recommends single life for the sake of focusing on the things of God, not that it makes it easier on troubles of the flesh.
Marriage has its benefits in allowing boundaries for sexual immorality not to be done, this was Paul’s suggestion to those struggling.
Yes, marriage does not get rid of temptations, but for those who honor it, it allows them strong foundation to live pure lives.
1 Samuel 3 1 peter 3
From watching kids who were taught to think they were of my age playing house and home I never got interested in what they seemed to know happened in their households, one other thing that I think put me away from their behavior was I was told I am the only one who has someone no matter where I would go unlike you people finding love anywhere, I have been tried and tested and they know I would not get full erection it just would be like a drunk person being reminded to wake up and the one saying wake up not knowing he was drunk meaning when you leave him he falls asleep again, tried with thirteen girls but not even one would come out and tell you why they are not interested maybe they thought I don't have someone laughing their heads off saying ahhh he won't be happy and he won't find someone who would be waking up his dingiling now and again, guess what? I met her and we are starting to breathe in and out at the same time,the dingiling is aware too because when we have time to think about each other he gets curious and mans up like saying yeah now I am talking where is she

How do I know if Christ has answered if I’ve cried to him for salvation?
By faith
Dear Sir or Madam, if you are familiar with John Bunyan’s Pilgrims Progress where in that story the main Character “Pilgrim” reads the gospel for the first time and comes under the burden of sin, guilt, and hopelessness. Later in the book if you don’t know it, Pilgrim is instructed by a man named Evangelist to follow the narrow road and that he should come to the Cross at Calvary where Jesus Christ paid for our sins, and find it Pilgrim does. His burden was immediately flung off his back because he believed that savior Jesus Christ who died on that cross was for him, thus his believing in him alone saved him. When I came under the conviction of sin it took me 3 or 4 weeks before I was saved, because I thought my words and repentance could save me, but it was actually believing in Christs death and resurrection for all those who believe him then I became saved. I was so desperate I no longer relied on my own words but on Christ’s. And the darkness and guilt left me immediately in that moment I received salvation. Matthew 7:7-11 (ESV)
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
I hope this helps brother or sister and may God bless you.
The book of 1 John speaks about the life of a transformed heard (born again Christian). We may not be perfect, but if we see evidence of God working in our hearts and lives, then this is a good start!! God only disciplines and corrects His children (Hebrews 12:8-9).
Surrender to the Lord Jesus every day (Luke 9:23). If you are born again/saved, He will continue to guide you to Himself as you yield and surrender to Him.
Do you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead? It's by faith. Utterly faith. He says that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Believe it. Confess your sins and believe they're forgiven, believe that God is for you and not against you, because He has said, those who trust in Him will never be put to shame.
"For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:5-13)
"He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." (Mark 16:16)
It’s not about moving a desk... it’s about hating that desk by the power of His Spirit.
I think hating your sexuality will cause extreme harm
@@joseffwilliams7369 no it’s about hating your sin
💘
The way to free yourself from sexual sin is to constantly remind yourself that God hates nakedness and sexual intercourse and you have to have the same desires as Him.
Jesus said that in heaven, men and women do not marry or remain married to each other (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, Luke 20:34-36).
Our bodies there will not have erotic desires or reproductive abilities but we must repent of erotic desires and other sinful desires in order to go to heaven.
God does not like nakedness and sexual intercourse but He had to temporarily allow it on earth for reproduction which will not be needed in heaven.
We will be married to Jesus in heaven but we will not be naked or having sexual intercourse even though it is a marriage.
Nakedness even in the absence of erotic desires and sinful nature is still unrighteous in heaven, and the purpose of our white clothing is to represent righteousness (Revelation 19:8).
Even when God came onto Mount Sinai, He told husbands not to have sexual intercourse with their wives (Exodus 19:15).
So if God does not like sexual intercourse in marriage, He definitely does not like erotic sins.
Even though marriage on earth illustrates the marriage to Jesus in heaven, the nakedness and sexual intercourse in the privacy of marriage does have anything to do with Jesus because as you can see, nakedness is still a bad thing even in the marriage to Jesus.
The marriage to Jesus is like a man and woman being married and being intimate with each other in a non-erotic way and always having their clothes on.
It is the modest parts of marriage that illustrate our relationship to Jesus and not the obscene parts.
I pray you will consider what the word of God says in regard to what you believe about God hating nakedness and sexual intercourse.
"For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked, but they were not ashamed." (Genesis 2:24-25)
Before the Fall, God placed man and woman in the garden together naked ("Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.", Genesis 1:31). He gave the woman to man as a wife and they became one flesh.
We can deduce that to become one flesh means they had sexual intercourse due to the fact Paul uses this phrasing in regard to sexual immorality:
"Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” (1 Corinthians 6:16)
Perhaps in an effort to abstain from sexual sin, you have set up guard rails to prevent yourself from falling into temptation. It is important we do not add anything to the word of God or we will lose sight of His teachings. May God give you wisdom to pursue Him faithfully and in purity.
Phil 3 mature in christ ❤️ 🇮🇱
thats why its so important to pray in tongues. when you walk in the spirit you wont fulfill the lusts of the flesh. almost no better way to walk in the spirit than pray in Gods heavenly language He gave to all Christians!

You know the best thing my Catholic education taught me - that sex is dirty...
But only if you do it right.
