Defiled pleasure
Master lust is a deceitful slave-driver, who can tempt his victim into a trap with sweet but untruthful images. Lord Jesus is the hero of purity, who appeals to those enslaved by their sins: "Slaves of lust, arise from the night of the oppression!" God will richly provide us with everything for our enjoyment. Glory to God who has created all good things!
Sexual desireGod has
created sexuality and all He has created is good. However He has not created fornication,
adultery or voluptuousness. They have evolved
just by chance. The
evolution of
evilness has defiled the
creation of God.
Our
sexual need is from God but our selfish fantasies defile it. A sexual desire is mostly based on our images. Our thoughts have an effect on the secretion of hormones and then again hormones try to have an effect on the quality of our thoughts. In this circle our mind can either resist the demands of our physical being or
surrender to them.
In the opposite
sex there are aspects that arouse thoughts of desire. By hiding these aspects
sexual desire can be prevented. However it is not a sufficient preventive measure because we can arose desires by our recollections, if we want. Most have a lot of sexual images because we live in a civilization saturated with sex. A good will is a preventer of a bad
lust, but who does want to prevent his evil thoughts?
God is not against
sex but for its
purity. Having sex belongs only within
marriage. God has given it for
joy to spouses. Having sex without a
covenant is impure, because the partners don't belong to each other. The
rapture of
lust comes from the excitement of a forbidden deed. Many have so
surrendered themselves to their lust that they even
rejoice over it.
If lust makes you rejoice, you cannot experience pure joy.The
law of God causes us to want good. When we
rebelled against God our will was cast adrift. The
sacrifice of God on Golgotha, calls rebels to seek the
reconciliation with Him. His
love causes us to want good more powerfully than His commandments.
Premarital intercoursesOur will can
overcome our desire. If a
young person wants to remain a
virgin till his
wedding night, he is able to control his desire. Most people don't want and that is why they are not able to do it. What works in us to will, directs also our desires. Most young people don't want to be different from the other young and therefore their will easily yields to the will of the majority that
rejoices over
lust.
"I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin. If the thing is true, and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house." De.22:14, 20-21 God assures you that you cause damage to yourself with your fornication. May this encourage you to remain a
virgin until your
wedding, because you know it is for your own benefit.
"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." 1Co.6:18 "Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire... Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience." Col.3:5 Jesus
suffered God's wrath on the
cross and died for
sexually immoral persons so that they could get the
forgiveness. If you received God's
love in Jesus it works in you to will remaining a
virgin till your
wedding.
If only every
young man got a
virgin for his spouse and every maiden got a virginal boy for her spouse!
AdulteryIf spouses want to remain
faithful to each other they are able to do it. However many do not want it because they are disappointed in their spouse. The
selfishness of their will causes them to
desert their spouse in their thoughts. By
rebelling against their spouse they push themselves into
adultery and thus defile themselves.
"You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her." Le.18:20 "The man who commits adultery with another man's wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death." Le.20:10 Jesus died for an adulterer and an adulteress so that they could get the
forgiveness. You want to remain
faithful to your spouse, if you
believe that Jesus
suffered your
punishment on the
cross.
"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." Heb.13:4 A
marriage bed is not defiled only due to
adultery but also due to a dissolute
lust. By lusting each other the spouses defile their relationship, but by
rejoicing at each other they get a
pure desire leading into an
intercourse in a pure satisfaction.
Woe,
marriages defiled! If only all children of the world had
faithful fathers and mothers!
Homosexuality and lesbianismIf a woman wants to remain a woman, she is able to do it. In the same way if a man only wants to remain a man, the desire to be like a woman is not aroused in him. However some don't want it because they are disappointed in God. They get excited when doing something that God has forbidden.
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." Le.18:22 "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." Le.20:13 Jesus died for
gays and for
lesbians so that they could get the
forgiveness. You want to be natural in your
sexual life, if you experience God's
love in the fact that Jesus
suffered on the
cross the
punishment gays and lesbians deserve.
Why would a man want to be like a woman or a woman like a man? Why do two people of the same
sex get a
sexual lust for each other?
"They exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their woman exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due." Ro.1:25-27 Homosexuality and lesbianism are the
judgment of God for not honoring Him as the
Creator. In other words, homosexuality and lesbianism are increased because so many have regarded the
evolution theory as the
truth.
Sexual relations with animalsIf man wants to remain man he surely can do it. Some
hate God so much they want to live as animals. Doing so they proclaim they don't want to take their responsibility for their deeds. Woe to them! They are disgusting people for whom the Son of God died so that also they could be saved, if they want.
"Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion." Le.18:23 "If a man mates with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is upon them." Le.20:15-16 Jesus died for the persons who have had
sexual relations with animals so that they could get the
forgiveness. You want to be a human being if you
repent your
evilness for the reason that Jesus died for all the people.
Lust is like a drug that needs to get stronger and stronger to give satisfaction. What about when any
sex gives no satisfaction? Finally only
killing will give them satisfaction.
Rebelling against God changes them into the likeness of the
devil.
Are good and bad equal?Homosexuality and lesbianism have been made a question of equality although it has to do with what is wrong and what is right. In Finland we have the
organization named SETA (LGBT Rights) that drives in the equality of these sexual
sins with the natural sexuality. Indeed it is activity of the
devil, because iniquity is pushed equal with what is right. Who swallows one iniquity as
goodness in the name of equality will later exchange any other
truth for a lie.
Nobody can enjoy without God. Life separated from God doesn't give the real satisfaction. Those who
desert knowing God give up
pleasure and joy. Only
reconciliation with God makes our life worth of living. It is equality when Jesus died for all of us. God manifested the same
love for all people.
Good and evil are not equal but in the darkness of evil the brightness of
goodness shines with dignity. Goodness shines in the darkness, and the darkness doesn't comprehend it. Woe to ignorant! Woe to
gays and
lesbians in their oppression! It hardly would make them any happier, if they had a
church wedding for their relationships. Only the
reconciliation with God makes us
happy.
Jesus can cleanse youThe purge of mind given by Jesus sets us free from the domination of evil images. Falling in
love with God's
purity breaks up bad fantasies and gives new desires that will get lovely fulfilment. A bad
lust and its object seem worthless or unclean in the light of God. Therefore it is easy for His own to reject them.
Knowing God gives us a better satisfaction than a bad
lust. The
pleasure given by a lust feels like
suffering compared with the enjoyment given by Jesus. A
married life with a good
conscience is a lovely enjoyment with God's
blessing upon it. Thus
rejoice at your own spouse. The
sexual desire without lust exists! I understand that it is hard to
believe for a defiled mind.
You are not able to clean yourself, but you can call on Jesus and He will do it! Become Jesus' own! As His own you live in His light which prevents you from becoming defiled. However if you swayed away from the light to darkness and became defiled, come back to His light and His
blood will cleanse your
conscience. Your guilty conscience causes you to escape into darkness, but God's
love calls you to come into light. Do you give your will to darkness or to light?
