In the last week, I have been dealing with sexual sin. I am a wife of 11 years and am guilty of having an affair in the past. Last weekend I was blind sighted by a new friend. I thought I could dance close to the flame and not be burned…I am naturally flirty and this wasn’t my first rodeo after all, so I “thought” I had control. Before I knew it things were way out of hand between me & my new friend. I have spent the past few days trying to figure out how to get out of this tangled mess because it wasn’t something I really wanted to do, and the act had yet to be committed. God has moved in my life so much in the past year, I just felt horrible about the way I was carrying on..He didn’t deserve that from me. Last night I prayed about my situation…asked God to provide me a way out. This morning, you were on the show pushing this book. Granted it’s for guys, but it hit home with me. I figured I’d have to wait weeks before I could afford to order it, until you mentioned the free download. I knew it was meant for me then. I downloaded the book and read it through already. Half way through, I got my ever so familiar “morning email” from my new friend…your book and God’s help allowed me the courage to tell him it was over. Thank you. Your book probably saved my marriage. I will definitely recommend it to others and actually, I already have. I have also nominated my accountability partner, a friend of nearly 20 years. For future projects, I would like to see a book about how the “puddinization” of men (as Rick & Bubba put it) has affected women and their opinions of men. I know it’s not an excuse for an affair, but when your husband won’t work, won’t clean, won’t help with the kids and won’t lift a finger for anyone but himself, it’s hard to keep respect for him. Eventually, other avenues start to look appealing. I have too many girlfriends that have deadbeat husbands and they too teeter on that razor’s edge, so I know it’s an issue. I would love to see the day when men are REAL men again. I think it’s a topic well worth exploration. Well, that’s my 2 cents…May God bless you and your family and once again, thank you.

Sex Sells – In Ads and Religions

Satan has conditioned our modern society to worship sex. Sex sells. It seems that the ad men love to throw in a curvaceous lady when advertising products that have nothing to do with sex. But every male buyer of a car has discovered that the girl does not come along with the car.
Sexual sin is one of Satan’s main weapons today. He has deceived the entire world (Rev. 12:9), even the religions of the world. And the sexual element is always included in the deceptive religions of this world, including his version of Christianity, and sex has been a selling point.
It is no coincidence that God calls both His churches and false churches, in a spiritual sense, women (Rev. 18:2,9; 12:17). He contrasts His pure, spotless bride with the whore of Babylon, one of a number of false religions Satan has used to deceive the world.
While the woman of Proverbs 7 symbolizes false churches as well, she also epitomizes the sexual saturation of our society: “She is now in the streets, now in the squares, And lurks by every corner” (7:12). You can’t get away from sex today. It’s everywhere, on billboards, on bus ads, on the graffiti you see scrawled on city walls, and of course on TV and the Internet. The woman representing sexual temptation lurks everywhere, and we must resist her, staying pure in Jesus.
The Hebrew concept of idolatry is often synonymous with adultery, since God’s people have always been tempted to go whoring after false gods.
Illicit sex is a fire that consumes and destroys a person. While sexual temptation can come from a man, God uses the image of an adulterous woman, both in a physical and religious sense. Proverbs 5 speaks of the “lips of an adulteress” (5:3). Her talk is smooth, but “in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol” (5:4-5). God says that “your flesh and your body are consumed” (5:11).
God is definitely not a prude when it comes to sex. After all, He created it. But like everything he created, He has a proper use of it, and that is in marriage. He is unabashed in his frank description of marital love: “Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth, As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love” (5:18-19).
Doesn’t sound like God is against sex, does it? He’s simply against it when it is used outside of the marriage institution. He is against premarital and extramarital sex.
God warns us that His commandments of love are to “keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress” (Prov. 6:23-24). His warning applies to the ways of the false churches of this world.

Religious and Other Hanky-panky

Both spiritual and physical adultery and fornication exist in the churches of this world. Witness the sexual abuse of women in the Muslim world. And dare we mention the secret things that take place in the supposedly holy sanctuaries and institutions of a great false church? Priests abuse both little boys and women in habits who were not always in the habit of resisting sexual advances from supposedly saintly men who wear collars. Cover-ups notwithstanding, these well-known facts are testimony to the falseness of these churches.
Sexual sin, of course, is not limited to false churches. The Bible and modern day, true Christian churches are also sometimes tainted with sexual scandals. Satan attacks Christian men and women in their areas of weakness to try to bring shame upon God’s true churches. In so doing, he puts a bad taste for Christianity in the mouths of potential church members.
God’s sexual standards are high. He doesn’t want true believers to give any hint of sexual immorality. He tells us to avoid any form or appearance of evil. Yet we have failed miserably in these areas because of Satan’s attacks. Walking hand-in-hand with the person of the opposite sex gives the connotation of a certain intimacy. Yet a well-known evangelist estranged from his wife had to recently apologize for holding hands with an attractive divorcee and fellow evangelist. He knew his action was unwise, since it caused a tabloid newspaper to jump to sordid conclusions.
While sexual attraction has the purpose of drawing two people together and helping keep them together, sexual desire is like a fire. When used improperly, outside of God’s laws of love, it is a devouring fire. As Solomon wrote, “Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned? Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched? So is one who goes into his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished” (Prov. 6:27-29). God went on to say that the way of physical or spiritual adultery is the path of destruction and death.
The sexual saturation of our society is a key weapon of Satan, whose goal is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). After all, God had cursed the serpent Satan, prophesying that the seed of the woman would crush his head (Gen. 3:15). So Satan decided to use sex, women, and the woman that symbolized false religion to deceive and destroy. And he has used them cleverly.

Harlotry Cleverly Disguised

God foresaw this deception, and He knew His physical and spiritual people would commit “flagrant harlotry” (Hos. 1:2). God’s people would go after their spiritual lovers, false religions who would give them bread (tainted spiritual food), water and oil (the false Holy Spirit), taking God’s blessings and using them to worship Baal, the Hebrew translation of the English word “Lord” (Hos. 2:5,8).
While modern feasts of the Lord Baal are cleverly disguised and do not always involve literal illicit sex, the origins of feasts such as Easter are clearly pagan and sexual. The steeples on churches are none other than phallic symbols held over from a time of pagan sexual revelry.
Genesis 6 and other passages show that at the time of Noah giants with voracious sexual appetites ravished women, and Jesus prophesied that it would be the same in our day (Mat. 24:37). The pagan feasts observed by the Christian world, along with the religious sexual symbols used in worship, open wide the door for the return of these giants to Earth.
Christians think nothing of these originally sexual celebrations, being destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hos. 4:6). Satan, however, is not without knowledge of his evil purpose in trying to thwart God’s plan. Satan wants to replace God’s plan of love with his plan of lust, a lust for sexual pleasure and for false doctrine, both which destroy.
God chastised His people for keeping their feasts, not His feasts (Hos. 2:11). Modern Christians, who ignore what they call the “Old Testament,” believe that God was referring to a distant past only when he warned His people about Baal worship. They will nevertheless have to answer for keeping pagan feasts: “ I will punish her for the days of the Baals, When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me…” (Hos. 2:13).
“Harlotry, wine and new wine take away the understanding,” God says in Hosea 4:11. Harlotry represents the false doctrines and days of Lord Baal. Wine represents the fact that these people claim the blood of Jesus in vain.
The staff wielded by a popular spiritual leader is compared to a diviner’s wand, and the statues of Madonna and Child are compared to wood and idols (Hos. 4:12). God indicts the protesting daughters of this Babylonian harlot church for playing the harlot just like her mother (4:13). Dare we tell you who are the “temple prostitutes”? Their hands are folded together in a pious display that was originally a sign the temple prostitutes used to declare their readiness for sex. It’s amazing how Satan can convince sincere people who follow deceptive ways born in paganism and saturated with illicit sexuality.

Goliath-sized Sexual Immorality

Sex and religion is cleverly concealed by the devil. But when it comes to TV and Internet advertising, subtlety is thrown out the window. Sex is blatant.
Isaiah describes the not-so-subtle seduction with which Satan has deceived many modern women and girls: “Moreover, the [Eternal] said, ‘Because the daughters of Zion are proud and walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps [and often swinging hips] And tinkle the bangles on their feet…instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction…” (Isa. 3:16, 24).
Sometimes the ads are subtler. Witness the department store catalogs and flyers, especially those selling clothes. They cater to greed and lust. More often than not, those who look at these ads long and lust for both the model and the clothes she or he is wearing. They compare themselves to the model and find themselves wanting. The lusting after things brings the prevalent desire to keep up with and overtake the neighbors in material possessions. Men may sometimes buy the outfit the sexy girl is wearing in the ad for their wives, wishing their spouse could be as well built and attractive as the lady in the ad.
Satan has convinced us of the antithesis of God’s view, the demonic idea that physical appearance is the most important thing. God disregards the physical appearance. He looks on the heart (I Sam. 16:7). Men especially are motivated visually by the attractiveness of women, whereas women tend to look more like God does on the heart of a man.
Nevertheless, it seems both sexes today have become sex-crazed. Sex is the uppermost thing on the minds of more and more men and women, even in the church.
Targeting those who are have a “form of godliness” (church people), Paul predicted in the last days that men and women would be swayed by all kinds of evil desires, without love but filled with lust, without self-control, and lovers of pleasure, especially the sexual kind, rather than lovers of God (II Tim. 3:1-6).
The spirit of Goliath is sorely evident today. This spirit causes people to blatantly parade their sexuality. And the mass media have become purveyors of this filth, making sure we know the sexual sins and prowess of the celebrities, who in many cases have no claim to fame but their ill-gotten celebrity. People go gaga over Lady Gaga, and they can’t miss the latest antics of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and the like. People devour the sexual gossip so they can hide their own sins, gloating over others’ sexual sins, and slurping up every lurid detail to add to their own imaginations of perversion.
This is the sad state of our society. Will we allow ourselves to be swept away into sexual perversion, lust, and fantasy? The sexual revolution is a mutiny against the God of purity. Will we be part of the harlot of seduction in these last days, or will we be part of the spotless Bride of Jesus?
Be it overt, physical, sexual immorality or keeping feasts that originate in pagan practices of sexual revelry wrapped up in a false Christian bow, God calls it what it is: adultery. That’s the same as idolatry in the Hebrew mindset, following “other gods to your own harm” (Jer. 7:6, NIV). God asks our society, especially Christians, “Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, ‘We are safe’ – safe to do all these detestable things?”(7:9, NIV).
We must stand out as lights in the modern, Anglo-Saxon nations that God calls Israel. He says, “They are all adulterers, Like an oven heated by the baker Who ceases to stir up the fire From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened” (Hosea 7:4). The fire of adultery and sexual immorality of which speaks Proverbs 6:27, whether it be the physical or the religious variety, will one day consume us totally. A little leaven leavens the whole lump (I Cor. 5:6).
Our young people especially are being bombarded by a sexual revolution inspired by Satan, and few are the voices telling them right from wrong. We receive questions of sexual problems and attacks from teens that phone in, and some have said they think we’re making these questions up. That’s how abominable some of the practices of our modern society have become. It’s hard to imagine how evil some people can be. It even surprises Satan, who has not been given the same power of imagination for good or evil that mankind has been given.
People don’t want to hear plain talk about sex from God’s perspective. Recently a conservative, Christian political candidate felt she had to backtrack on a video she made in 1996 in order to be more politically correct. She had stated in an interview of sorts that God condemned lust, and she could not see how anyone could masturbate without thoughts of lust, so she declared it was wrong and a sin. The problem with her apology, saying she was new in the faith and had not matured, is that she was absolutely right in what she had said previously. We will not apologize for laying God’s truth about sex on the line.
It’s time someone spoke out to young and old in a straightforward way about which activities are right and which are wrong outside of the marriage institution. We will now relate the transcript of the answer we gave on our Youth Alive program to a young lady who had some specific questions about sex.

Straight Answers about Sex to a Teen Questioner

The Bible may not spell out everything that one can or cannot do in sexual activity, but it does give concepts as to what is right or wrong in sexual practices. Sex is good, and it is good for what it was meant for, as part of marriage. Teens are facing great temptations, and they are not receiving proper guidance on the subject. Everything that pleases the flesh or arouses you is not necessarily good or good for you. This “feel good” concept, “if it feels good, it must be good, so do it,” is a new age concept that originated before the flood of Noah’s day. A young lady questioner on our Youth Alive program asked questions regarding three categories of sexual activity. First, is any sexual activity permitted before marriage? The second category involves sex by drugs, mechanical devices, or visual stimulation, and the third is sex by chemical deception and group activity. In category one, any sexual stimulation before marriage is wrong. If this stimulation results in an orgasm, or leads to what could become one, it belongs in marriage. Oral stimulation of the breasts, nipples, or genitalia is wrong. Hands-on stimulation is also wrong. Sucking of the toes to arouse or bring on orgasm is wrong. Tongue stimulation of the ears, lips, or buttocks is wrong. Mutual or group masturbation is definitely wrong. God has never approved group sex; that’s why He destroyed Sodom. Oiling down bodies and rubbing them together, while permissible with agreement of partners in marriage, is not right. In category two, the use of mechanical masturbators, vibrators, electrical stimulators, blow-up dolls, dildos, and such, is wrong. The use of pornography, X-rated videos or songs, peeping devices, webcams, and computer-generated sexual activity is wrong. The use of inserts is wrong; the body was not designed to handle thirty plus orgasms a day. The use of marijuana, speed, or crack to heighten sexual stimulation is both illegal and wrong. This exaggerated stimulation of the brain’s sexual centers causes shutdown, burnout, and eventual impotency. The use of piercings, tattoos, and implants are all wrong because they cause you to submit as a sex slave to a demon. In category three, oral medications, surgeries, and other enhancements are signs of abuse and have no place in or out of marriage. Abusing one part of the body causes other parts to be out of balance. Date-rape drugs are becoming a real problem today; their use and all activity related to them are illegal and morally wrong. The shutting down of another’s brain is a disgusting way to achieve sexual gratification. The giver of the drugs acquires the spiritual blanket of hopelessness, while the victim takes on the cloak of invisibility. Love potions are also a source of invisibility and demonic possession. The speaking of incantations to seduce another to have sex is wrong. Only the giving attitude in sex can bring oneness and long-term pleasure, and in the marriage union only. Pheromone-scented creams, sprays, and powders are also wrong. Nerve-sensory, enhancing creams are wrong, causing major, enduring side effects.

The Inventor of Sex – God!

How’s that for a shameless, no-holds-barred spelling out of right from wrong? We should not be ashamed of the subject of sex. It was God who invented sex, who designed it for marriage, and marriage only. When used properly, it is a great blessing. When misused, it becomes a curse. When it is worshipped, it brings disaster.
Sex is holy and pure. Satan has tried to make it look dirty, but it is not when it is motivated by love in the marriage bed.
Marriage and the sacred act of marriage should honored, but today they are mocked. God says, “Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge” (Heb. 13:4).
The Bible is a Book that talks openly and unabashedly about sex. God encourages husbands to be satisfied and exhilarated by their wife’s breasts (Prov. 5:19). The husband of the Song of Solomon (Bridegroom Jesus personified) says to His wife, “Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle” (4:5).
The wife is no less shy: “My beloved is to me a pouch of myrrh Which lies all night between my breasts … How handsome you are, my beloved, And so pleasant! Indeed, our couch is luxurious!” (1:13,16).
When used outside of marriage, sexy and “hot” are terms of lust, and they dominate our ads and TV programs and the language of so many today. The fire that is sexual attraction has become a devouring fire that is destroying our society and its morals.
That unholy fire has shamed many a pastor and member of the body of Jesus Christ. To be sure, the lack of using the powerful name of Jesus, which invokes His anointing, has not helped. Most use the term “Lord,” which translates back into Hebrew as Baal, a god enthroned in sex worship. Even the term “Christ,” while biblical, means “anointed one,” and it is not His name. His name is Jesus.
The use of Lord and Christ without naming the name above all names opens the door in the end time to accepting the false anointing of evil entities such as the Beast, false prophet, false Christ, and Antichrist. They are also anointed ones, only with an anointing from the evil one.
Without Jesus and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, without Him who is Grace, Jesus, without Him and His empowerment, we cannot overcome sexual sin and addiction.
Rather than the unholy fire of sexual lust, we need the consuming fire of God to root out wrong thoughts and actions of lust and perversion. The consuming fire that is God will either cleanse us or eventually destroy us. Without the blood of Jesus to cleanse us as we confess sexual sin, and without relying on the Grace that is Him inside us to overcome, we will fail. But with Him, who is Love, we can never fail.
Jesus said in John 6:63 that the flesh, doing it in our own strength and will power, profits nothing. Only by internalizing the words He spoke that are spirit and life can we succeed.
Isaish 33:14-16 contrasts those in the church who see themselves as sinners and continue to sin without calling on the consuming fire of Jesus to destroy sexual sin in their lives with those who see those problems gradually destroyed because they trust in Jesus to overcome them. Only those who by His grace and power learn to shut their eyes from looking at evil in the form of sexual lust will be able to dwell eternally with the God who is a consuming fire. He is holy and wants us to be holy like He is. But we cannot do it by willing it in our strength.
Many Christians, especially men, struggle in this matter of sexual purity. They allow the sexual bombardment of Satan to sell them a perverted bill of goods and shell shock them so they bow to Satan and his end-time schemes. If this is an area where you need help, here is a prayer to pray.
Father, I confess my sexual sin to you (I have looked at things I should not look at. I have lusted after the beauty and comeliness of those of the opposite – or same – sex. I have satisfied my sexual urges through self-gratification. I have not been content in the state in which I find myself, whether unmarried and thus without a sexual outlet, or married and not content with the mate you have given me. I have allowed impurity to bring guilt, shame, and self-condemnation. These sins have cut me off from an intimate relationship with You, and I seek Your help to get back to that intimacy, which is the basis of my sexual identity. I need that intimacy in order to be intimate with the person you chose or will choose for me.) I acknowledge my weakness in the sexual area. It seems that I look for comfort and fulfillment from sex rather than from You. A feeling of emptiness, hopelessness, and helplessness has driven me to seek Satan’s false comfort rather than Yours. I confess my fervent desire to be free at last and to overcome this sin. I speak this out loud, since I want it to be in my heart and will. I confess my need for Jesus, the Grace that enables me to overcome. I ask Your forgiveness, Father, for these specific sins I now confess, for rebelling against You and Your Word by committing these sins or indulging in these bad habits. I ask for Your grace to forgive myself, since I know that without this being spoken out in faith, I will repeat the sin. I choose to forgive myself, in Jesus’ name, and I lay down to Jesus all the self-condemnation, guilt, shame, and feeling of inferiority. I declare my identity in Jesus, that I am more than a conqueror, an overcomer. I speak this out so that I have authority to say no to sin. I choose to speak the royal we, since You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit live in me. We shall overcome. I am in the hands of Jesus, who has already defeated every foe, every sin, and washed me clean in His blood so I can indeed speak of we rather than I. We rejoice in the victory and give thanks for the freedom. If we do encounter setbacks, we will repeat this process until we walk in full victory. If we fall, we will rise in our confidence of Your love for us, and the light of Jesus will shine on any darkness. Thank You for giving me a way of escape from sexual sin. Thank You for the freedom by the blood of Jesus and His life in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
We must not allow ourselves to get into self-condemnation, which is far worse than any sin of weakness we may commit. We must forgive ourselves and our mates if we are married, since mates often commit sexual sin to get back at their mates for wrongs committed.
We need to read God’s Word aloud so that it becomes a part of us. We must speak out our identity in Jesus, and allow the truth that our Father loves us to become a reality in our hearts, so that if we miss the mark of perfect purity, we know that He forgives us and will lift us out of the quagmire of sin. We must dwell on pure thoughts and avoid situations of temptation.
Jarred Jones (www.13waystoruinyourlife.com) is an overcomer of sexual sin. He gives 13 ways to ruin your life sexually: be unresolved, flirt with temptation, feel you’re in control, believe no one will know, take just one more look, act without thinking, think you’re the exception, learn by experience, live in denial, deny the obvious, be gullible, make excuses, get hardened to God’s truth. In this book for men, he encourages them to speak out when tempted the biblical truth: Lust will never satisfy. Sexual craving can never be quenched. Lust never brings contentment.
He advises Psalm 101:2-4 as an antidote to temptation: “I will give heed to the blameless way…I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not fasten its grip on me. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil.”
Job said, “I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin [or any woman]” (Job 31:1). He adds, “The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, ‘No eyes will see me’” (Job 24:15). Character has been defined as who we are when no one is looking.
Sexual curiosity brings sexual interest, which leads to obsession and then addiction. In general, addiction is born of a sense of loss in our life that must be turned over to Jesus. That loss creates a void, an emptiness that must be filled by Jesus, not sex.
Shanuti Feldhahn in her book, For Women Only; What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men, explains when men are most vulnerable to sexual sin with an acronym. HALT stands for hungry, angry, lonely, and tired, and we can add that feeling rejected can also bring on such sin.
You can read the solution for overcoming sexual sin in “Overcome That Bad Habit!” on http://www.freedomchurchofgod.com under our A-Z topics. We reproduce it here since it ties in with sexual addiction.

How to Overcome a Sin or Bad Habit

1. Confess the sin to your heavenly Father (I John 1:8-9).
2. Acknowledge the weakness that causes you to sin in this manner (Heb. 4:15-16).
3. Acknowledge why you have been weak in this area and have held onto the sin.
4. Confess your desire to overcome the sin (it is important to speak this out loud).
5. Confess your need for Jesus, the Grace in you that enables you to overcome.
6. Ask forgiveness from your heavenly Father for rebelling against Him and His Word by committing the sin or indulging in this bad habit.
7. Ask for the grace from your heavenly Father to forgive yourself and speak out that you choose to forgive yourself, in Jesus’ name. If you don’t forgive yourself, you will repeat the sin.
8. Declare your identity in Jesus – that you are more than a conqueror, an overcomer (Rom 8:37; Phil. 4:13). You must speak this out to have authority to say no to sin.
9. Declare that you are in the hands of Jesus, who has already defeated every foe, including sin, and washed you clean in His blood (Col. 2:15).
10. Rejoice in the victory and give thanks for your freedom to your Father.
If you encounter any setbacks, repeat the process until you walk in victory.

How to Conquer the Flesh

1. Keep seeking Jesus with your whole heart.
2. Do not rely on your own strength, but on the strength of Jesus (John 15:5).
3. Confess sin quickly so guilt and shame will not be allowed to reside in you.
4. Let your identity in Jesus get into your heart.
5. Reject all wishes, curses, and labels people try to put upon you and forgive them.
6. Don’t let yourself focus or dwell on areas of sin (Phil. 4:8).
7. Focus on the Word of God, His blessings, and especially on Jesus (Heb. 12:2).
8. Don’t listen to rude, crude, and obnoxious music, or engage in any other activity designed to activate cravings for sin.
9. Pray in the Spirit (in tongues, if you have activated this gift).
10. Be in thankfulness to your Father in heaven for His provision in the overcoming of sin, giving you your way of escape from sin (I Cor. 10:13).
