Sex is only for the Married

 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.   1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

Yesterday me and my husband were having a conversation about the sexually immoral and God spoke so clearly to me on this subject.  I don't think many people understand the biblical law as much as they should, especially believers.  I honestly believe that so many believers are going to be shocked on judgment day when they stand before our Lord and all their sins will be revealed by His light.  We deceived ourselves into believing that because we go to church, read our bibles and pray that this is enough to pull the wool over our Lord's eyes and convince Him that we are worthy of His kindom.   God sees what's in our hearts not what we try to pretray to the people around us! You can dress up the outside all you want but what do you look like on the inside? What does our God see in your heart? Are you ugly spiritually? You can't decieved the Lord, He sees who you are and He know's what's in your heart.  God also reveals to His true followers a glimpse of what's going on in the hearts of those who claim to be spiritually cleansed from all their sins but are only deceiving themselves. 

Mathew 17:3 says it so clearly; so many people will choose the road that is traveled  frequently rather then the road that's traveled less on their way into eternity.  Which road are you traveling now? You may already be taking the road that the majority of people are  traveling.  We choose in this life which path we want to take and we are already walking that path now, whether it be walking with our Lord on the road that leads to heaven and everylasting life, or walking with the world on the road that lead to destruction and death.   Which road have you chosen? If you are sexually immoral? Are you committing adultery against your Lord, your body, and your spouse? Are you greedy? Are you a thief steeling what doesn't belong to you? Do you cheat people? Do you drink excessively? Do you gossip to ruin other people's reputation? Are you having sex or thinking of have sex with the same sex? I hear so often that we are not perfect but there's a scripture verse for that too.  1 Peter 1:15 tells us "Just as He is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: be holy, because I am holy."  God would not tell us to be holy if He did not know we could.  God tells us in this verse that we can be like Him and if you are living a life that's pleasing to Him you are being holy. 

Sex was never meant for the single.  The bible calls anyone who has sex outside of marriage a fornicator.   Sex was designed for only the married according to the biblical law.  The bible calls a spouse who cheats or has the thoughts in their mind to cheat an adulterer.   God is very clear on His thoughts about adultery.  He hates it and He hates divorce.   Don't be deceived in thinking that you are worthy for God's kingdom if you are sexually immoral.  God makes it very clear that anyone who is will not inherit the kingdom of God.  What does this mean? It means you are not going to heaven if you are having sex outside of marriage, cheating on your spouse, having sex with the same sex, a drunkard, a thief, a slanderer, a swindler. 

This all can be changed if you are willing to give up the desires of the flesh and practice self-control.  God is forgiving and merciful.  He does not want anyone to perish but for all to come to repentence.  It's not too late to change your path into eternity.  All you have to do is ask Jesus to help you.  He tells us to have self-control because He understand that we are not perfect and will be tempted.  It's what you do with these temptations.  You can choose to act on them or dismiss them and know that they are from the enemy who wants your soul to join him in hell.  The choice is yours.  Mathew 11:13 Jesus says "my yoke is easy and my burden is light".  Only when you have come to true repentence will you understand and know that it is not hard to live in this world, especially when you have Jesus walking with you every step of the way.  You do not have to do this alone and it does not have to be hard but you have to want to change. 

Please note: I know this post is touching on some very convicting points but keep in mind;  This is not my laws or even my opinions.  I am speaking on the Lord's behalf-I am just the messanger so don't shoot the messanger! If you have a problem with anything I've written take it up with Lord because I only took what He said from His word-the bible.  God would love that you got down on your knees even if it was to have it out with Him.  He wants a relationship with you and He's waiting to bless your life.  You can be happy and have peace, even in the most trying circumstances.  John 14:27 says "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid".  The world can never understand this peace but we can.

Keep on, even when it's hard




I think everyone can agree with me that it's easy to walk away when things are not going the way we'd like them to.  We all want to be happy, feel good, have things always go our way but unfortunately that's not always going to happen.  So what do we do when the storms come and we feel we can't go on anymore? How much are we willing to go through before we say enough is enough and call it quits? I know I have reached the point many times where I felt as though I couldn't go on any longer and the only way to finally be happy is to walk away.  I was tired of the hurt, the accusations, the bitterness, the anger, the lack of self control, the attitude and criticism for everything  I did or said.  This was no way to live and even just the thought of being alone brought me peace.  I've pointed out all of these things about my husband but I do not want to leave out, that at one time I treated him the same.  Could it be the saying "what goes around comes around"? Was I getting it all back because I did it all to him at one time? If so, when will this cycle end?

It all ends with me...that's right.  I need to stop looking at all his faults and see what I can do to show him that I love him, even when it seems hard.   Proverbs 15:1 a gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs of anger.  It's not about them, it's about us.  Mathew 12:36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.  We will give account to God for how we treated our husbands and what we did to serve God while in this life.  We serve God by serving our husbands and that means being submissive to them as they are  head of the wife.  We make life more complicated for ourselves by wanting to take the easy way out.  The bible says that if we should leave we are to remain single unless we reconcile with our husbands. 

I have wanted to walk away more times then I can count and chances are, I will feel that way again.  Today, I'm happy that I did not walk away or leave because today, I know that I would have been making the worst mistake I would have regretted for a very long time.  I feel this way today and tomorrow might be different but to feel this way at all says that there is always hope. 

1 Peter 3:1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives

1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins 

Family that Prays together...
