SEXUAL SINS
As for sex, God created it to be in the confines of marriage between a man and a woman.
We want to strive to honor God with our bodies.
Romans 12:1
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Galatians 5:19
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
“None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute.
MARRIAGE
4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.
ADULTERY
Exodus 20:14 “You shall not commit adultery”
Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
FORNICATION & MASTERBATION
3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable,
18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
HOMOSEXUALITY
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
SEXUAL PERVERSION AND DEVIANT ACTIVITIES
5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
These practices are not of God. Unfortunately, ALL of the above sins, and these types of desires, (I’llcall them spirits) can sometimes come as a result of abuse. When abuse is the cause there is usually a transfer from the abuser to the victim spiritually, in addition to other spirit transfers like fear and low self esteem. But this is were prayer and fasting become essential for deliverance.
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Romans 10:9
When we trust in Christ for our salvation, we are also trusting in Him and the power of The Blood of Jesus to deliver us from these and all desires that are not pleasing to Him. Again, sometimes we were wrongly introduced to things from an abuser, but God wants to heal you. Keep praying and trusting God. Let God vindicate you. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord I shall repay. Don’t think that God will not vindicate you as His child.
