Sex is so addictive, have you noticed in this world, all the things that look, taste and feel good, are not good for us at all.
Sex however is the most powerful because it is our flesh, so we MUST pray for protection through the blood of Christ, we must put on the whole armour of God. Every day sister.
Ephesians 6:10-20 (NKJV)
10 my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
I was addicted to sex, big time, though not for the opposite sex, I was a heartless rabbit, when I came to Christ I used to still think of women as sex machines. It is an addiction, an old mind set, when we come to Christ, our sins are washed away, not remembered, God's Spirit is in us, but there is still this urge to satisfy the flesh, rather than please God. I started to think of different things when I had the urge, to sing hymns or songs, Shine Jesus Shine and more. Tell the devil he has no power over me, rebuke him, we belong to Christ not sin, the world and the devil.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
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.
We have to start looking at things from God's point of view not the worlds, not our lusts, it takes time.
James 4:1-7 (NKJV)
1 Where do wars and fights
come from among you? Do
they not
come from your
desires for pleasure that war in your members?
2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend
it on your pleasures.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
"God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Now regarding your Boy friend, you have feelings for him, you are the mother of his child, he has said some things which appear caring, but also he has said bitter things against your faith. If he is bitter about your faith now do you honestly think that will change?
When the winds of life blow hard, can you walk, when the tides rage can you swim against them, will you drown, will you be saved from drowning, will you be overcome by powers greater than you that will continue to drag you down and deeper, or will you give in to God and let him calm the storms and waves, who has more chance of succeeding against the forces you or God? You know the answer Kitty don't you.
To marry a none believer is putting yourself in the lions cage with the lions. The devil is always prowling like a hungry lion, he will hack and hack at your boyfriend (or husband if you marry) until you cave in, your mental health will no doubt become darker, I share with you sister, I have been in that hole, it gets blacker, it gets deeper, the light goes out. I share in love, my heart is deeply concerned.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (NKJV)
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.
For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?
And what communion has light with darkness?
15 And what accord has Christ with Belial?
Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?
For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
"I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."
17 Therefore
"Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you."
18 "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty."
When a person is born again, the Holy Spirit abides in our heart, 'you are the Temple of the Living God'
Does righteousness and sin mix?
Would you drink pure water with a drop of filthy blood in it? Sin turns everything sour.
If the devil attempted to tempt Jesus to sin, how much easier is it for him to attack you and me?
Look to Jesus, keep your eyes on Jesus, Trust in the Lord with all your heart, He will guide your paths Kitty
We are praying for you.
Think very carefully about your relationship with your boyfriend, don't rush and make decisions you will regret. His fruits will continue to show, and if they show before you marry, will they really change afterwards. You can say, but brother paul I pray for his salvation, nothing is impossible for God. I agree Kitty, but hearts have to change, I have prayed for 30 years for my wife's salvation and I know many more like this. The spiritual battles can be hell, mental torture.
Jesus loves you kitty, we do too.
