S exual purity is important in the Christian community. However, sexual purity is not the evidence of salvation. The benefits of sexual purity is freedom from std. Freedom from falling into a set up, and the ability to expel the demonic spirits that operating in the aria of such sins.
Acts 15:28 (KJV) For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Acts 15:29 (KJV) That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Satan has done an excellent job, of using Bible believing people to give the wrong impression of how the Christians life is to be executed. They made it appear so expensive that people loose faith, and weak Christians back out of the faith. If the lord call a believer to celibacy, and appoint that believer to the set lifestyle. He will give that believer the grace to walk he or she through it. If the lord saved a person, and did not appoint them to celibate way of life. He will give that believer much grace to made up for their defect, just in case the believer should falter. Those who do not have a celibate calling can only usurp that way of life for a time.
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself on my behalf.
Gal 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died without cause.

YOU ARE STILL IN THE WAR ZONE, STOP BOASTING:
We are not save by not being promiscuous, at the same time it does not make good sense to continue being promiscuous. Therefore, do not make promiscuousness more sinful than what it is, or else any time you commit that sin, it destroys you emotionally. Be careful what word you speak, you might have to eat it. I heard one Church of God minister in Spanish town Jamaica, boast one Sunday about the sex sin. As time goes by, he migrated to the USA. I went to look him up. His wife told me that he backslide. She said “If you ever saw the woman he is living with, she has a two hundred pound hip dragging” God did not make us a sex less being. We were not made to overcame the sex urges. Be careful how you made obstinance more righteous than what it is.
Zech. 4:6 (KJV) Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Ephes. 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephes. 2:9 (KJV) Not of works, lest any man should boast.
1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Ephes. 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephes. 2:9 (KJV) Not of works, lest any man should boast.

1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
OUR BODY WAS NOT SAVE THE TIME OF OUR CONVERSION:
Our hormone will not stop working with christianity. Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body. Untill the saints receive a glorified body, our body will remain vile .
Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. We are still going to have urges. We have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.

THE CHANGE IS NOT DONE IN OUR BODY:
The lord does not change any of instincts. “These instincts are the driving force of the personality, with which the Creator has endowed man in order to fit him for an earthly existence (just as he endowed him with spiritual faculties to fit him for a heavenly existence). We call them instincts because they are inborn impulses implanted within the creature to enable it to do instinctively what is necessary for the origination and preservation of natural life. Writes Dr. Leander Keyser:" if the human infant did not have certain instincts to begin with, it could not survive even with the best of parental and medical care” God has induced every human being with certain Instincts to assured our survival.
The first is the instinct of self- preservation, which warns us of danger and enables us to care for ourselves.
This is why we know that this verse to turn the other cheek is not to be taking literally, because it is contrary to the self-preservation instincts.
Matthew 5:39 (KJV) However, I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
The second, the acquisitive (getting) instinct, which leads us to acquire the necessities for self-support? Third, the food-seeking instincts, an impulse that leads to the satisfying of natural hunger”:“
Proverbs 30:9-AV Lest I be full, and deny [thee], and say, Who [is] the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God [in vain].” If we are hungry we will condensed to thievery. Matthew 12:1-AV At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Fourth, the reproductive instinct which brings about the perpetuation of the race.
1Corinthians 7:8-AV I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 1Corinthians 7:9-AV But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
Fifth, the instinct of dominance, which leads to the exercise of that self-assertion necessitated by one's calling and responsibilities. "By Myer Pearlman. Knowing the doctrines of the Bible. Page 108. The Lord will not move any of these instincts from our body. Give your self-time, and confess your sins to the lord daily.

CELIBACY IS A SPECIAL CALLING FOR SPECIAL GROUP OF SAINTS:
Revelation 14:3-AV And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Revelation 14:4-AV These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they, which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. Revelation 14:5-AV And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Matthew 19:12-AV For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
1 Corinthians 9:5-AV Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Corinthians 9:6-AV Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
1 Corinthians 9:5-AV Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Corinthians 9:6-AV Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
CELIBACY IS NOT PRACTICAL FOR ALL SAINTS:
A recent study done by medical researchers on the death of 1,100 Catholic priests showed that these priests had significantly higher incidence of prostate cancer than the average male population. This unique condition is related causally to the practice of celibacy, according to Taoist teaching.
Sexuality is a natural part of human existence, and should not be isolated and handles in the way we do, simple because of what it is; in fact, all of us are here because of sex. If somebody did not get the sexual urges and act upon it, earth would not have replenished it self, so often as it did after two world wars and so many battles, death and destructions, also many out brakes of diseases, famines and earth quakes, no other forces or urges to live keep earth going, but sex.
Because disuse of any part of the body atrophies that part of the body, and any atrophy leads to disease, the inevitable result of celibacy will be atrophy of the sexual glands namely the prostate gland and cancer of the prostate. Neglect, another form of disuse, can also lead to prostate cancer. In the opposite extreme, excessive masturbation, induced by celibacy, also cause cancer. These problems are not limited to men, because celibate women also suffer from female organ problems.
From the Taoist viewpoint, practicing celibacy is about the most harmful thing you can do to your body. Denying attention or the right to function to any part of your body is foolish, as foolish as rejecting the use of your eyes and ears. Not using any portion of your body for its normal purpose will create a harmful imbalance which can affect every other part of your body, since all bodily functions are interconnected.” :The Tao of sexology, by Dr. Stephen T. Chang. Page 191
Not having sex can just be as dangerous as promiscuous. Not having sex can cause the person to suffer sex organ atrophy. Atrophy mean. 1. Pathology. A wasting or decrease in size of a bodily organ, tissue, or part owing to disease, injury, or lack of use: muscular atrophy of a person affected with paralysis Any part of the body that is not being use after a while suffers atrophy. We might have heard the old saying" If you do not use it you loose it"

THERE ARE SOME WHO CANNOT DO WITHOUT?
1Corinthians 7:9-AV But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. Matthew 19:11-AV But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this saying, save [they] to whom it is given. Matthew 19:12-AV For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
SPIRITUAL AND MORAL PERFECTION WILL COME AFTER HUMILITY IS PERFECTED:
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
The spirit of God will have to help us with our spiritual defects. But, this help will not arrive until we put on humility and love. Why should God give us power to live holy when we have no love for each other! Where in God’s program that personal holiness is going to get us without love?
1 Cor. 13:3 (Living Bible) If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn't love others, it would be of no value whatever.
1 Cor. 13:3 (Living Bible) If I gave everything I have to poor people, and if I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn't love others, it would be of no value whatever.
FROM FAITH TO FAITH:
When the lord save a person, with time he will take that person through different stages of faith,
he will take you from one dimension of faith to the next.
Romans 1:17 (KJV) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
FROM GRACE TO GRACE:
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Acts 4:33 (KJV) And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
FROM GLORY TO GLORY:
When the lord save a person, with time he will take that person through different stages of life.
He will take you from one dimension of glory to the next.
2 Cor. 3:18 (KJV) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
YOU WILL WALK OUT OF YOUR DEFECTS AND NOT EVEN KNOW WHEN YOU DID IT:
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD:
1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.
FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING:
When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.
WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF:
Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.
Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.
GET A GOOD BIBLE, AND FIND A GOOD CHURCH:
One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.
Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.
PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN:
Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:
1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)
2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)
3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)
4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)
5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)
6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)
7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)
By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.
Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.
Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.
YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:
Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.
According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.
