Hey parents and students! Sunday at Ignite I ministered to the youth on sex and dating. I really believe that God showed up and said what He wanted to say. We'll continue with this subject next week in a different setting. It's going to be good. Here are some of the key points from what I taught. Feel free to comment : )
* Satan uses whatever he can to get you out God's reach and his goal is to get you to reject God and His word.
* Satan's plan is to fog up your vision so that you don't see the whole picture.
For example: He wants you to think that oral sex is okay since it isn't intercourse. But the truth is... ORAL SEX IS SEX.
* Is it okay to flirt? No. Flirting gives satan permission to have his way.
* If you have to ask yourself if something is okay to do, it usually isn't.
1 Thess. 4:1-8
* God is going to hold you responsible for how you treated your body while you were on this earth.
* Your body is God's vesel.
* Sexual Intercourse is a symbol of covenant in marriage.
* When you become sexually active with someone you are sharing covenant with them. That's why it's hard to get that person out of your head once you have had sex with them.
* God designed sex, but if someone misuses what He designed, He doesn't like it and He doesn't have any part in it.
* When you engage in sexual sin, you are giving Satan permission to take over you. You may begin to get involved in things that you never thought you would do. But since you let satan in your life, he took over.
* More and more teenagers are getting involved with homosexuality. In some way, those teenagers have opened the door for the devil to take over their minds.
* Two people cannot say that they are "in love" if God is not in the relationship because GOD IS LOVE.
* God gave us the emotions that we have and He doesn't like it when our emotions are being toyed with in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships.
* God want to present us to our spouse untouched and without spot or wrinkle in our hearts.
* You are not ready for a relationship until God has total control of your heart and control of your life.
How do I stay pure?
1. Surround yourself with people who are striving to stay pure just like you so that you can help each other.
2. Spend more time with God than you spend with anyone you are attracted to. ( In turn, your spirit man will be more built up than your flesh).
Hey Adrienne. For some reason when I review the blogs I neglect visiting this one. So I decided to today. I hope it's okay that an old lady like me hollas on your blog! ;) Anyway, just want you to know this is hot and what you are doing is fire!! And this subject right here...man--- I wish I would have known what I know now - what you are relaying about the devil using us, deceiving us about sex, about who we are-- when I was younger - heck, when I was a young adult. Sex is a beautiful thing when done God's way - in the context of a marital relationship. I did not wait. I regret it. Ya'll be better!!! Keep going for yours. I so proud of you - of all of ya'll. You need anything, just call. I still got my stepp'n boots from college in the closet!!! D
