Body was not designed for sexual immorality

“We are all free to VIOLATE the commandments of God, but never free to escape the CONSEQUENCES.”

Sodom and Gomorrah was eternally punished for sexual immorality what makes you think God will change His mind concerning your punishment?

Judah 7 “as Sodom and Gomorrah; and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.”

Difference between guys and girls: GUYS: hormones are aroused quickly by sight; if man’s hormones are turned on through sight, it does not take long for him to put to into action what his body is dictating unless he consciously governs into own desire which he is capable of doing. GIRLS: Presence of an atmosphere and music of emotion and feeling; sex drive is very slow; gets involved deeply.

Never stir up the emotions of the opposite gender that you are unable to meet!

Song of Solomon 2:7 “...do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.”

Matthew 18:6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Purity Road

Driving on the purity road Parked on the side of the purity road. Is good for nothing and is up to nothing. Mainly it’s by the sidewalk very close to the world and very far from the moving forward.

James 4:7 We will not be judged only for the things we have done but for the things we left undone

Driving half on the road and half off the road of purity. Living in two-faced live. Half in the world, and half in the church. Always driven by guilt. Sexual thoughts and emotions, but afraid of actions. Drills are like the conscience and the Holy Spirit that convicts. But it’s very short, the longer you go on it the lower the voice becomes. Feeling no conviction what so ever. Driving off the road. Driving through the drills. You are there and you think you are driving, when in reality you are not. No way back, except call 911. Jesus and the blood of Jesus will wash you away.
