Scripture

Proverbs 5:7-8,10-21

[7]Young men, listen to me, and never forget what I’m about to say:

[8]Run from her! Don’t go near her house,

[10]lest strangers obtain your wealth, and you become a slave of foreigners.

[11]Lest afterwards you groan in anguish and in shame when syphilis consumes your body,

[12]and you say, “Oh, if only I had listened! If only I had not demanded my own way!

[13]Oh, why wouldn’t I take advice? Why was I so stupid?

[14]For now I must face public disgrace.”

[15]Drink from your own well, my son—be faithful and true to your wife.

[16]Why should you beget children with women of the street?

[17]Why share your children with those outside your home?

[18]Be happy, yes, rejoice in the wife of your youth.

[19]Let her breasts and tender embrace satisfy you. Let her love alone fill you with delight.

[20]Why delight yourself with prostitutes, embracing what isn’t yours?

[21]For God is closely watching you, and he weighs carefully everything you do.

SEXUAL SANITY

An anointed morning to you. God has set you up for great things today and you will not miss it in Jesus name.

Sexual sanity is the discipline of our sexual urges and cravings. It is the path we take to ensure that we do not mortgage our lives on the platform of pleasure.

One of the fastest killer diseases in the world today is sexual immorality. The immoral man and the idolater are from the same family. Sexual immorality is a stab on the back and it can be a herculean task recovering from it especially when it becomes an addiction.

Sexual immorality is any sexual practice that is apart from sex in marriage. Fornication, adultery, pornography, masturbation, lesbianism, homosexuality, beastiality and other unnatural ways of sexual relations are straight paths to death and many are caught up in that bondage today.

Our text reveals something, sexual immorality is sponsored by a demonic force that uses subtilty; presenting sex and its perversions as mild, normal, unharmful and sometimes even necessary. These forces make you feel you can not fight the urge and that since the urge is natural it has no known side effects. Sexual immorality ALWAYS leads to poverty in one area or the other for it reduces you and weakens you beyond your imagining.

The key to overcoming first is not to start at all for in starting you open the door to divers challenges. However, if you have fallen therein no challenge, receive the mercy and grace of God already made available through the finished work of Christ in his death and ressurection by asking for his forgiveness. Furthermore sit with a scripture like our text today and Romans 6 in deep meditation asking the Spirit of God to open your eyes to the truth and finally keep yourself accountable to spiritual authority.

Listen your place is heaven has been secured by grace and sexual impurity can not stop you from living there, thus it is key that you constantly remind yourself of your identity in Christ, whether you feel spiritually on fire or in a struggle. You have been made holy in Christ.
