0909 Single, Ready to Mingle - Sexual Sleep

SEXUAL SLEEP

Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. Genesis 2:15

And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Genesis 2:18

So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. Genesis 2:20

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. Genesis 2:21-22

You are ready to date when you don’t need

You are not ready to MINGLE if you are not truly SINGLE. Your relationships will be as good as you are. Singleness is not state of being unmarried; it’s state of being whole

Delight in God before you start dating. Get so lost in God that the other person has to look for God to find you.

Relationship with God makes you WHOLE; romantic relationships reveal your HOLES. Relationship with God SATISFIES; romantic relationships MAGNIFY. Relationship with God COMPLETES you; romantic relationships will COMPLIMENT.

Without devotional life you will seek out of DATING what only can be found in DELIVERANCE

Without real relationship with God - ROMANCE turns into REHAB. Without real relationship with God - we seek in DATING what can be found only in DELIVERANCE.

2. Before God will bring you an Eve, devil will offer you a monkey

Monkey is someone who don’t share your values and faith

Monkey is someone you are praying for God to fix

Monkey is someone you date out of desperation and impatience

Don’t flirt to convert.

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14

When you are unequally yoked you can’t perform the task set before you; instead of working together, you will be at odds with each other.

Excuses for dating unbelievers: they are hot, no good options, testimonies…

3. God is preparing you for the person He is preparing for you

Sexual sleep wakes you up spiritually

Your teen years are your tithe to God (Psalm 90:10)

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

Teenagers, even if dating around does not wreck your purity it will definitely waste your potential.

Submit biology to theology.

Sexual sleep is not just the time when you focus on God; it's when God is focused on you.

God can’t do a surgery on your character without sexual

anesthesia

Close your eyes. Don’t stir feelings. Don’t spend time alone. Quit texting.

You are ready to date when you are ready for marriage Post pone dating until it's right time.

If you are dating without intent of getting married is like shopping without money, you will either end up unsatisfied or with something that does not belong to you.
