Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
There have been many times in the past years when temptation has come to me. Even before I was born again I remember calling on God for help when confronted with sexual temptations and God always helped me. Most of us can recognize temptation. If we really don't want to yield to the temptation, we can call on God for help. If we want help, God will give us help. Most people want to participate in the sin, sexual sins and other sins.
Fornication is never approved by God. Read the Bible and see.
Paul explains: I Cor. 6 ... Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
The world today presents fornication as something unimportant. But the Bible teaches us at the time of sexual intercourse the two people become one flesh. And Paul says fornication is a sin different from all other sins. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
I've seen so many church goers who commit fornication and seek fornication partners, often through the singles classes at churches.
I Cor. 10:13 ... There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Each of us are confronted with sins of speaking wrongly ... Again, there is help through God when we don't want to sin with our words. So often, I am tempted to say something and I recognize that I am tempted to set some worldly person "right" ... and often I silently pray, "God help me ... please don't let me say that ..." and I am stopped by God.
The world considers various sins "spicy" and they love to tell others of their sins ... like on TV talk shows (which I would not want to watch).
But when we are of God, do we really want to spread shame out on a table like a banquet? I know I don't want to do this. Sin is shame.
If I feel I have sinned, I deal with that sin by turning to God in prayer. I settle that sin with God. It is a shame. I wouldn't want to tell other people. And I know when I have settled it with God, it is over. There is no need to tell other people.
I Jn. 2:1 ... My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
