Start By Inviting God

‘And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words’ Rom.8:26.

Sex within marriage is an act of worship. We glorify God when we use the gift He has given us in the way He intended. If you can pray and you pray for your brother and he is healed. That is an act of worship. If you can sweep and you sweep well, it is an act of worship. Our service and our utilization of our gifts in the way that God has intended it is an act of worship. It also means that the abuse of the gift is an affront to God. The abuse of sex is premarital sex [fornication is an insult to God], extra-marital sex, same sex sex, and sex with an animal. The gift of sex ordained by God is pleasing and glorifies God when it is experienced between a man and his wife. And when we enjoy sex within marriage we are worshipping God – this is another level of worship. So, when you are about to get intimate with your spouse, invite the Holy Ghost. When you are able to do that, your intimacy with your spouse will go to another level entirely. I know some people reading this right now are offended because in their opinion we are reducing God to bedroom affairs. It is because you don’t even know who God is. I’ll tell you one idea that God has given me in relation to intimacy. For women the arousal cycle is different. The man is like a switch. The woman is like an electric stove, she warms up gradually. If you invite the Lord, He can tell you what to say to get your wife from cold to hot in record time. And it is the same Lord that sends us His Words of healing. I want to challenge you today to go into your bedroom with your spouse and invite the Lord. It may be awkward initially but just invite Him. Then watch what God will do. If you are single, you are even better positioned because you can start right when you get married. For some of us it took us a while to understand these things. Amazingly, some people still feel some slight sense of guilt and filth when they meet with their spouse. It is because all that we’ve learnt about sex is associated with filth, the devil, and bad things. When you learn to bring the Lord in, He cleanses you and makes everything beautiful. God wants to baptize your sex life and make it pure and holy. Start by inviting God.

Prayer: Father, help me fully grasp Your desire to be involved in ever part of my life, in Jesus Name.
