For so many years of my life, I was a slave.

My master was a weakness that held my heart in bondage.

My heart was broken many times due to this master.

I knew I should not obey this master, but yet the men that I dated all demanded that I honor and obey this master over my God.

So I obeyed the master of sexual impurity.https://singleparents.dfwhostingwebsites.com/wisdom/

Finally, I had had enough. These men who required me to disobey my God became chaff in the wind.  I could do without them but I no longer could do without my God.

So I had to talk with God…

I asked God why? Why was this weakness, something which was so wrong?

He explained to me that sex is a sacred act.

Before Lucifer deceived Eve, the Garden of Eden was a tranquil paradise of intimacy between Adam, Eve and God. They were three, but yet like one.

When the deception happened, a division of heartbreak split paradise apart.

Yet, Adam had Eve and Eve had Adam, but God had lost his love.

When a person has sex outside of marriage, it is like sticking the dagger of deception right through the heart of God. You are excluding him from an act which he provided for love.

When you wait until marriage and then formally invite God into the relationship through a covenant agreement held in the church, He is invited into this bond of love you have. Through this, His blessings are not hindered.

In that moment of realization, I was crushed. I had never thought that my weakness could hurt God. I repented and asked Him to take away the desire.

He did.

God did not do this alone. It was a delightful partnership between Him and I.

I  became aware of the way I was feeding this weakness. I stopped watching movies which fed my weakness. (Any movies with nudity or profane language is off my list. For the record, I have never watched porn so I am not talking about that.)

I no longer think of these things as I am trying to fall asleep.

I do not read books that elicit this behavior. (Fifty Shades of Grey was a horrid excuse for literature anyway.)

I an no longer a slave. I have been set free and the peace I have received from God in this area of my life is unbelievable.
