Lust, Lies, Sex, and Porn...by Valerie Rousseau
Recently in the news, a prominent leader of government brought shame to his
nation and family because of lust and pride. My heart went out to this man and
his family, as he publically was forced to apologize for his behavior, and resign
from office.
God warns us in his word...
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
As I watched the media coverage of this story, I was saddened to hear some
people saying they didn't think what he was doing was that bad, and he
should be allowed to continue to govern the people of his state.
One man who was interviewed on television said that in many parts of the world
prostitution is legal, and if we removed every leader out of power that committed
adultery, there would be very few leaders left.
As God's people we are called to be people of honor and integrity. When we're given the
privilege of voting for our leaders, we should prayerfully choose those who have promised
to honor God and his laws. We must pray for them continually, so they will not be lead
into temptation, and for God to remove all who abuse their power and authority.
I'm often asked ...
where in the Bible does it say that sex outside of marriage is wrong or
why does it matter if I look at pornography?
The children of Israel refused to listen to God and obey his commandments. They had seen time
and time again the wrath of God for disobedience...
When they camped near the land of Moab, they saw many
people worshipping idols and part of their idolatry was
sex outside of marriage.
The children of Israel watched in amazement, and began to
have impure thoughts. They decided, what would it hurt...
Everyone else was doing it...why should they miss out
on all the fun and excitement.
They made friendships with the people and joined in the sex
and festivities. It was a wild party and they were having the
time of their life...but God sees everything and he was not pleased.
The LORD told Moses to kill all who were disobedient and
hang their heads against the sun.
One of the children of Israel brought before the judges, a Midianite woman named Cozbi.
She had been with found with Zimri, and Israelite, who was one of the sons
of a prince of the house of the Simeonites.
When Phinehas, Aaron's grandson saw them, he rose up from
the congregation and killed Zimri and Cozbi with a javelin.
God said to Moses...Phinehas has turned my anger away from the children of Israel.
He was zealous for my sake...and so I will not consume the children of Israel
in my jealousy. I will give to him a covenant of peace. He and his children
will have an everlasting priesthood, because of his faithfulness to
me and made atonement for the children of Israel.
God instructed Moses to kill the Midianites, so they would
not continue to tempt them into sinning.
23,000 people died...because they flirted with sin
and immorality. God put this story in the Bible to warn
us not to provoke him to anger and jealousy.
God's word says...
...abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul...
1 Peter 2:11
We shake our heads when we see another child buried...
and foolishly say...Why would God allow this to happen?
Each week God's people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Satan and the world sneaks into the thoughts and hearts of God's children...
deceiving them with subtle traps...that eventually become deadly to their own
souls...and will also hurt others by the choices they make.
Lust comes in many forms...and often starts with loneliness and a
feeling of being unloved. A young man or woman may be shy
or not have many friends...so they go into a cocoon of isolation.
Their parents may be even Christian...but have no time for them...
or don't even notice the hurt in their eyes.
Satan is tempting us to fall into sin, by trying to deceive us.
Don't fall for his trap. All around the world we see God warning us
that we must turn from our sins. At any moment he may come
and take us from this earth. The Bible says God will come as a thief
in the night.
If we were committing an immoral act in thought or deed, and
God came to take your life...you would not have time to repent and turn?
We must mourn for the sins of the world and ask God for revival
and repentance.
God has a perfect plan for each one of you. Don't settle for second
best or risk messing up your life with playing with the fires of lust...
Beloved...If you have fallen...
Our loving Father will welcome you back and empower you with the strength
of the Holy Spirit to help you flee from temptation
ONLY IF U REALLY HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT ..
NOT THE VERSION THAT IS IN HOLLAND MICHIGAN OR IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH..
THAT IS THE "PRETEND" VERSION..
designed for IDOITS... AND STUPID PEOPLE..
WHO THINK THAT BY wanting to be an ENGINEER that they are one!!
or wanting to be a DECIPLE .. THAT THEY ARE....
