Be Practical
“Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through Your Word” Ps.119:37
The first key to remaining pure in a sex-saturated world is a commitment to God’s standard. The second key is managing your mind.
#3. Minimize the opportunity for temptation. The truth is there is no one that is immune to sexual sin; given the right circumstances anyone can fall, anyone! Yes, including Pastors. I will not fall, in Jesus Name but I am not a fool to Read the rest of this entry
Be In Charge
“I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar” Ps.101:3 [emphasis added].
What is the point of eating bread that will turn into gravel in your mouth? Is it worth losing all your teeth? Who knows what is best for your life, you or God? This is the question you have to answer and settle in your heart. And your actions determine your answer to that question. Are you going to be more committed to doing what God says because He knows better? Or will you do what you think is best because it is your body? This is a question we all need to answer.

God’s Standard
“Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body” 1 Cor.6:18
God wants us to think clearly about sex. No body knows more about sex than God Himself because He invented it. “God wants you to be pure and to keep clear of all sexual sin…” 1 Thes.4:3 [LB, emphasis added]. During sexual intercourse, there is a spiritual exchange. Let me explain – if Lucy is carrying curses and has sexual intercourse with Lucas, the demons that have access to Lucy now has access to Lucas. Now Lucas is a young business-man with Read the rest of this entry
PG 15
God wants you to be pure and to keep clear of all sexual sin… For God has not called us to be dirty-minded and full of lust but to be holy and clean” 1 Thes.4:3,7 [LB, emphasis added]
Over the next few days, God is going to teach us how to think clearly about sex. Please note that the rating is PG 15. So parents please take note and engage your teenagers daily about the discourse. Your teenagers should know these things because if we [God’s Family] do not teach them, the “world” will try to teach them.
We live in a sex-saturated society. Everything, particularly in the media, has a sexual undertone and it is in our faces Read the rest of this entry
Weeds II
“The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.” Luke 8:14 [emphasis added].
Question – how much effort is needed to grow a weed? None! Do you know why? It is because weeds are signs of neglect. Anything you neglect will grow weeds. The farmers will tell you that any area you neglect on the farm, weeds will grow there. If you neglect your walk with God, it will grow weeds. If you neglect your relationship with your spouse, it will grow weeds. If you neglect your relationship with your children, it will grow weeds. If you neglect your education, Read the rest of this entry
Share Jesus
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere…” Acts 1:8
As Christians, it is so important for us to tell other people about Jesus. When I got saved, I could not keep it in. I preached to all my friends and they saw that I was sincerely concerned for their eternity. I am not saying that you should be obnoxious but just open your mouth and tell people who are close to you but far from God, about Jesus. The question is, do you want them to go to hell?
Abba Father
“This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” Heb.4:15-16
Bitterness has the power to make our minds become closed towards God. And having a closed mind towards God is a dangerous place to be. A lady that had gotten married as a virgin but had no children after years of being married could not understand why her friends that had several abortions, now had three or four children but she was childless at the time. There are things that we cannot wrap our minds around, that make our hearts become hardened towards God.
God is Faithful
“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise” Heb.10:23
I implore you to settle this truth in your heart today; you cannot follow God and be a reject. But the enemy lies to you that God is a showstopper and that He will deprive you of joy. I have been following Jesus since 1995 and I can tell you that there is no better place to be than with Jesus. You cannot follow God and be a reject. It is impossible. Scripture is clear that God has not called you to seek Him in vain.
Un-Boxed!
“The hard path where some seed fell represents the hard hearts of those who hear the words of God, but then the devil comes and steals the words away and prevents people from believing and being saved” Lu.8:12 [LB, emphasis added].
The hardened path equals a closed mind. So what causes people to be so closed to spiritual growth? There are three things.
#1. Fear. What if God tells me to do what I do not want to do? What if God says go to the village and become a missionary. And because you do not know God, you put Him in a box, and you limit Him in your life. I have been there Read the rest of this entry
Yours vs. His
“Don’t be selfish… Be humble…. Don’t think only about your own affairs, be interested in others too, and what they are doing. Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though He was God, He did not demand and cling to His rights.” Phil. 2:3-6[ emphasis added]
When you are really in Christ Jesus, you have given your rights to God. That is what being a Christian is. If people really understand this, all the stress in marriages will go. The problem with us is that we confuse our wants with our rights. Read the rest of this entry
