In observation of too many Christian people, I am compelled to write this message, as, SO many people, TRULY, feel they are covered, in their continuance of CONSCIOUS sin, which, we can argue about until the DAY OF *GOD*, but, according TO THE WORD, CONSCIOUS sin, after receiving CHRIST as our SAVIOUR, is more than wrong...
OK, we have people, male, and, female, in great numbers these days, acting in LOTS of ways, which, point blank, ARE immoral! Such as, a Married partner whom, stays out all night, most nights of the week, doing things which, are not only, unfaithful to their partner, but, are against *GOD*, exhibitionism, lecherousness, debauchery, seeking satiation of worldly, carnal desires, and, all sorts of behaviours, AGAINST the spirit, *GOD*, and, righteousness!!!
IF we are TRUE Christians, we are NOT seeking self gratification, we ARE seeking atonement, and, contentment in the spirit! Spirit needs are NOT aligned to physical, emotional needs, INSTEAD, to needs of righteousness, and, ONENESS, with the ALMIGHTY SPIRIT!!!
If a person is Married, and, goes to strip clubs, or, other clubs, and, engages in activities of pleasure, FOR the self, are they in the spirit? Are they representing CHRIST? Are they honouring *GOD*, let alone, their Marriage? If a female, goes out for the evening, with her girlfriends, gets drunk, and, does things, like, showing parts of her body, while, letting people touch these parts, then, winds up where she shouldn't be, is she representing CHRIST? If we are not FAITHFUL in action, Marriage, or, deeds, are we being FAITHFUL to *GOD*???
Believe me, I HAD my share of being immoral, but, when the HOLY SPIRIT threw me to my knees, and, TRULY, filled me, I began to UNDERSTAND! We live in a time of heightened sexual unrest, dissatisfaction, and, seeking of forbidden fruits! There is MUCH perversion of a beautiful act, LOVE, being unleashed! There are more people peering into the world of sex, than, into ANYTHING else, and, we KNOW, if *GOD* is NOT preeminent, we are in the wrong! After all I have experienced, and, have been through, I am, still, amazed at the rapidly, increasing state of, excuse me, intense sexual desire, visible, in EVERY corner of this Earth! It is like, a wildfire of desire, and, the sad thing is, no one is working hard to extinguish it; partly because, if something is mainstream, it becomes acceptable, in the minds of most, or, is so out of control, no one knows how to approach it!!!
ANYTHING you do, which, hurts another person, is, also, against THE PRECEPTS, because LOVE does NOT seek to hurt anyone, so, those who are Married, and, carousing, partying, touching, and, cheating, with people, other than their partners, are NOT living in LOVE, let alone *GOD*!!!
I am not lecturing, I am living in HOPE for EVERYONE! HOPE in this context, begins by, communication, understanding, and, acceptance of responsibilities; first TO *GOD*, then, to self, then, to all others, in your life, or, around you! Listen, it is written that we are TO BE REFLECTIONS OF CHRIST, in that, we DO, and, BE GOOD, which, covers a LOT of territory! WE ARE HIS REPRESENTATIVES, and, IF we are living immorally, unethically, unprincipled, HOW can we say, we are OF HIM? Argue with me, but first, READ, ABSORB, and, UNDERSTAND THE WORD, ALL of it, concerning life in THE BODY/THE CHURCH/CHRIST/THE COMM'UNITY'!!!
The BOOK of ROMANS is full of instructions concerning the RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CHRISTIAN COMM'UNTIY! 1 CORINTHIANS 6, tells us of not being DOMINATED by worldly matters, and, that THE BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF *GOD*/CHRIST, EPHESIANS 4, tells us of the RULES FOR THE NEW LIFE, EPHESIANS 5, begins with this: So be imitators of *GOD*, as beloved Children, and, live in love, as CHRIST loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma. Immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be mentioned among holy ones, no obscenity, or sill or suggestive talk, which is out of place, but instead thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God...
SO MANY MORE SCRIPTURES point to RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL CHRISTIANS, not some, but ALL, and, EACH of these SACRED WORDS IS TO BE FULFILLED BY THOSE WHO CLAIM ONENESS WITH CHRIST/*GOD*! So, you see, KNOWING THE WORD, and, UNDERSTANDING HIS WILL, saves us, a LOT of trouble!!!
I have SO much to say concerning this matter, but, will do so in segments, because, understanding is not easy to come by, especially for those who have been taught that they CAN DO ANYTHING they want, while, retaining their inheritance! Let us close this segment with PSALM 25: PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE AND HELP...
I
I wait for you, O LORD;
I lift up my soul to my God.
In you I trust; do not let me be disgraced;
do not let my enemies gloat over me.
No one is disgraced who waits for you,
but only those who lightly break faith.
Make known to me your ways, LORD;
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
For you I wait all the long day,
because of your goodness, LORD.
Remember your compassion and love, O LORD;
for they are ages old.
Remember no more the sins of my youth;
remember me only in light of your love.
II
Good and upright is the LORD,
who shows sinners the way,
Guides the humble rightly,
and teaches the humble the way.
All the paths of the LORD are faithful love
toward those who honor the covenant demands.
For the sake of your name, LORD,
pardon my guilt, though it is great.
Who are those who fear the LORD?
God shows them the way to choose.
They live well and prosper,
and their descendants inherit the land.
The counsel of the LORD belongs to the faithful;
the covenant instructs them.
My eyes are ever upon the LORD,
who frees my feet from the snare.
III
Look upon me, have pity on me,
for I am alone and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart; bring me out of my distress.
Put an end to my affliction and suffering;
take away all my sins.
See how many are my enemies,
see how fiercely they hate me.
Preserve my life and rescue me;
do not let me be disgraced, for I trust in you.
Let honesty and virtue preserve me;
I wait for you, O LORD.
Redeem Israel, God,
from all its distress!
May *GOD* BE with us ALL, and, LEAD us to understanding, that, we, HIS Children, EVERMORE, SHINE as LIGHT, pure, and, inviting, for the world to share in; that HIS LOVE IS PERFECTLY evident, through, our thoughts, actions, and, reactions, or, through our CHOSEN state of existence, IN HIS WAYS! BLESS you, and, PEACE be with you! REJOICE, and, PRAISE HIS name, forever!!!
