I Corinthians 7:2--Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Fornication—The Greek pronunciation is Porn ea, which interpreted means, pornography
We are to live by God's standards, struggle or not. It is a commandment from God, not a suggestion or comment.
Jesus is able to keep us in all things, if we allow Him to. No one wants a gift that has been opened and recently used! What if the bow were shredded, the wrapping torn, wrinkled and poorly taped. By now, you may not want to accept the gift, let alone open it.
This is what happens when sex is used inappropriately. You both know that your sweetie will sleep with someone they aren't married to. Over time, satan uses this open door, to slowly eat away all that was built up, before you walk down the aisle.
Yes, things can turn around, but why go through all of that! We can use our time more wisely by getting to know, love and grow, more with the one we so earnestly prayed for!
For those of us who are struggling in this area, we can repent, and ask forgiveness. Remember, He blots out our transgressions for His own sake and will not remember our sins!
Next, we need to find scriptures that relate to what we are going through, write them down, meditate on them (keep on our mind) and speak them aloud, so that they become part of us.
Prayer joined with fasting introduces divine intervention! Not only will our spirits be refreshed, but our relationship with the Lord will be strengthened. We can also ask Him to send us an accountability partner who we can be honest and frank with.
After all, no one wants to go on their honeymoon, to catch up on television-- because the gift is nothing new to look at.
Reference Scriptures:
Proverbs 6:25
I Thessalonians 4:3
God bless,
