“And when I get that feeling, I want sexual healing.. I don’t know about you but I have listened to this song more than once in my lifetime. Or have you ever listened to Bruno Mars “Locked out of heaven ” “… cause your sex takes me to paradise” is only one of the catchy lyrics sung by girls all over the world!
I can’t listen to a song or watch a movie where sex is not the topic of discussion. Actually it seems like our whole world is drunk in a world of sex, where love and sex get thrown into the same pot, blurring the lines of Gods Truth!
Not to long ago, I was the blurred lines girl. I had no issues with porn, strip clubs and having sex with randoms. I thought sex equals love and love equals sex. I was craving to be loved and wanted, selling myself short and giving a piece of my soul away, every time I jumped into the sheets. I never saw an issue with my behavior, especially if I was in a relationship.
Lets just get this straight! God loves sex, after all He created it. Sex is the ultimate promise to your husband or wife. Your body becomes one flesh just as stated in Genesis 2:24 “This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one flesh.” Weather you like it or not you are not only making a covenant with your body but also with your heart and soul. Everything inside of you screams. ” You and I forever.” Fact is you can tuck a Trojan in your purse on Saturday night, but there is no such device to protect your heart.
Why are there so many broken, messed up hearts if sex is just sex! Why do so many especially girls feel regret, dirty, used, guilty, empty and ashamed?! There is something seriously wrong with sex when the gift of God makes us feel ashamed or dirty.
God designed making love for pleasure, for commitment, for the ultimate connection of two human beings. If you engage in random sexual behavior your brain gets confused, and lets not forget the wounds it will leave on your heart and soul.
How many times have I heard stories or experienced myself the pain and hurt from sex outside of marriage. No matter how hard you are trying to tell yourself that its “just sex” or that its ok in a commited relationship, the Truth is sex outside of marriage will always have consequences.
The lines get blurred! You start to fall in lust and not in love. You start to get butterflies and goosebumps because you are blinded by the feeling of hot sex and skin on skin contact. All of the sudden you find yourself in bed every time you see each other instead of studying Gods Word and Truth! Satan loves to see you fall into lust and slowly drift away from God. Don’t give him that foothold. You will end up with a broken heart and chained to sexual sin.
“Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body”
1Corinthians 6:18-20
Every time you choose to “hook up” over Jesus you misuse Grace! You forget the cross! You ignore the torture our Savior had to endure for all off our sins! Romans states clearly not to misuse the free gift of Grace!
“Well then should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin , how can we continue to live in it?”
Romans 6:1-2
If you have fallen into sexual sin, go sit before Jesus and ask for forgiveness.Go make a 180 and turn to the light.You are never to far from his unending love. Take that from someone who walked in the shoes of sexual destruction for years! Jesus already died for that junk and so did all the garbage inside of us. We need to hold on to that promise every minute of the day!
“We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.”
Romans 6:6-7
