I know a lot of people find themselves in this
cycle, l am saved, love God, have a passion to
serve God, might even be in ministry but some
how when it comes to sex the cycle just
doesn't seem to end.
You maybe in a relationship or single but the area of sexual purity is an area were most people in the church struggle with. Week in week out we come to church enjoy the service and even say how powerful the service was but come mid week we back in the cycle of having sex with your boyfriend/ girlfriend or even someone who is neither just seeing each other. Everyday you tormented in your heart because you know that this is not the right way to live and you pray that the situation would change because you know that (Romans 6:1, 2 AMP) says:
1. Paul says Flee sexual immorality. Every sin
that a man does is outside the body, but hewho commits sexual immorality sins against
his own body. (1 Corinthians 6:18 NKJV). For
this cycle to end in your life you have got to
run away with your life. If you know that when you come around a certain person things
will lead from one thing to another why would
you go and meet that person alone, it’s like
walking right into the lion’s mouth.

What shall we say to all this? Are we to remain in sin in order that God’s grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow? Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
You know that
this is wrong but you just don’t know how to
stop.
Today if this is you and you want this cycle
to stop this is going to take more than just
you praying that you stop. You will not have
victory in this area as long as you keep to
your old ways of trying to defeat this.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Here are FOUR BIBLICAL ADVICE to overcome.
2. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. (Proverbs 4:23 NLT). Guarding your heart means setting boundaries for what you keep in your heart.
If you spend time watching TV shows
or listening to music that encourage sex before marriage and that all you feel your
mind then you wonder why you cant stop
thinking about that person you were sleeping
with and why you cant stop that why. What
is in your heart, lets continually do a heart
check to see what is in our hearts and our minds because for as he thinks in his heart, so
is he. (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV) Whatever you
keep mediating on in your heart will determine
the actions you will take.
3. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2 NKJV).
3. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2 NKJV).
If you are going to have victory
over sexual immorality you will have to renew your mind and the way you do that is by the
word of God spend time meditating on the
word of God.
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. (Psalms 1:1-3 NKJV)
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall
meditate in it day and night, that you may
observe to do according to all that is written
in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good
success. (Joshua 1:8 NKJV)
4. Set physical boundaries not just for your
heart, these are things like
-not spending hours on the phone late at
night talking to your boyfriend /girlfriend
-not spending time alone with your
boyfriend/girlfriend, have group dates -watching porn or TV programmes that
encourage sexual activity or sex before
marriage
-listening to music that encourages sex
before marriage, one night stands etc
-be accountable to a married couple with godly wisdom about your relationship so they
can advice and pray with you
-
if you are a single person find someone with
Godly wisdom to be accountable to, to pray
with you and encourage you on the journey to
sexual integrity All this is not to try and dampen your
relationship but it is all to set boundaries to
protect each other in the body of Christ we
need to walk in victory in the area of sexual
immorality and if we are going to have the victory it will take our active involvement and not just prayer asking God to help you stop. Amen
