Urgent Prayer Request

[Agapē]

Okay, this is a really sensitive topic, but I'm going to be completely honest.

I've been in a relationship with a young woman for almost 3 months, but I'm afraid that it will more than likely have to end, because I have been repeatedly sexually tempted towards her over and over, and even though it may break both her's and my hearts, I may have to. But, today, and until wednesday, I will be praying and fasting to determine if its what God truly wants. Its hard, because I know she wanted this relationship to be the last one that led up to marriage, and I wanted that too...but I don't know if I can keep it that way. If I leave her with one thing, I want her to still have her purity, in spite of all I've already done.

Your humble servant,

Agape

Hello Agape,

I read your post below and just wanting to understand what your wrestling with?

Are you saying the relationship may have to end because your feeling tempted toward her sexually?

but I'm afraid that it will more than likely have to end, because I have been repeatedly sexually tempted towards her over and over

If this is true, yer kinda missin' the whole aspect on the natural side of how you were created.

To feel attracted physically to a woman whom you've been emotionally and romantically connected to is natural.

It's not the "flesh", if that's what your thinking of. It's how men were, and are ..designed.

The temptation which comes is just that ..temptation. Not giving into the temptation makes you stronger as a man,
and steers you in your relationship with God ..toward Him, for strength.

Remember the temptation itself is not sin.

I guarantee you every man out there felt the desire to consummate the relationship with his wife
..before he was married to her. :wink:


God bless you with wisdom and discernment,
Marco

Praying.

1 question:
Is there a reason you both can't go ahead &
get married & continue to let the relationship grow?

Because we're kinda both 17...so yeah...lol. Plus, I wouldn't be able to provide for her real well just yet. I may be in college, but that's different than actually having a degree.

Me and my wife, we'll be married for (2) months and that dose not seem very long, but we spent (3) years fighting the natural urges that come between a man and women. Now what I want to note here is that we both believe that God prearranged this union,( we were and are ment for each other), now there were very close calls and at times it was very tempting. But we talked things through and with prayer and the Spirit, it lead us to the understanding that this was a mere test. At this point we realized that victory was our's. We became even closer. You see we had became on one accord with each other and that was brought on by the Holy Spirit. Someone replied in another thread saying something to the matter that it is all natural for you to have these basic human desires, or something to that effect, and that is true. But them desires can be brought on by the devil also remember he can appear as an angel of light. 2 cor 11:14;And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Also remember Demons deceive people 2 cor 11:13;For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. I would suggest prayer between you and your young lady, I would also suggest talking with your. Parents and consulting your pastor. My wife was a blessing to me, but I have no doubts that the lack of obedience would have cost me all that I hold true and dear to my heart other than Christ Jesus and the salvation given to me through the grace of God my father. I'd like to leave you with this verse. Philippians 4:8; Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. May God bless you in all your endeavors. Yort (TROY)
