“For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification(holiness) and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence(strong sexual desire), even as the Gentiles which know not God:”
1 Thessalonians 4:2-5 KJV
“For you know what commandments and precepts we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, that you be sanctified [separated and set apart from sin]: that you abstain and back away from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor [being available for God’s purpose and separated from things profane], not [to be used] in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God and are ignorant of His will;”
1 THESSALONIANS 4:2-5 AMP
===========================================
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery(sexual intercourse outside of one’s marriage/Sex with someone not your spouse), fornication(sexual intercourse between two persons not married to each other), uncleanness(state of being impure), lasciviousness(reflecting or producing sexual desire or behavior especially that is considered indecent or obscene), Idolatry(the worship of a physical object as a god/immoderate attachment or devotion to something), witchcraft(sorcery or magic/communication with the devil or with a familiar spirit/also prostitution has been referred to a witchcraft as well), hatred(hostility), variance(the fact or state of being in disagreement :dissension, dispute/contentious quarreling), emulations(attempt to be like or do better than others/jealousy), wrath(fits of anger), strife(bitter and sometimes violent disagreement), seditions(the crime of creating a revolt, disturbance, or violence against lawful civil authority with the intent to cause its overthrow or destruction/the crime of saying, writing, or doing something that encourages people to disobey their government), heresies(the holding of religious beliefs opposed to church doctrine), Envyings(the feeling of wanting to have what someone else has), murders(the intentional and unlawful killing of a human being), drunkenness(habitual excessive use of alcohol), revellings(riotous behavior), and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:19-21 KJV
These “Works of the flesh” are things that can still tempt us even as Christians. One only continues to live in these sinful ways(knowing they are against God) when the desires of the flesh(old/sinful nature) are stronger than the desire to please God.
-Every time a person sins as a Holy Spirit led Christian they have an option. The Holy Spirit will show the way that the Lord wants us to go and the flesh may SCREAM the way it wants to go. We have the choice of who we will obey.
===========================================
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate(having or showing qualities that are considered more suited to women than to men : not manly), nor abusers of themselves with mankind(men as distinguished from women/homosexuality), Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners(the crime of getting money from someone by the use of force or threats), shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you:
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV
===========================================
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
-No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance].
–God will not let you be tempted beyond your ability.
-God will provide the way out so that you will be able to endure it, without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy!
There is an available exit from fornication. God provides it. Do not keep walking into sin.
===========================================
“Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”
1 Corinthians 7:1-2 KJV
===========================================
Does a person inherit heaven just by living a sin free life? No. All have sinned at some point in this life and just one sin can send a person to hell, It is by Faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved. A person living in sins does not know God according to 1 John chapter 3. Therefore, once we have this faith in Christ Jesus and Repent(change/turn) from our past sinful ways and learn the ways of Jesus and do them then we begin to live the life that we were called to. A life of Holiness and the Power of the Holy Spirit within us can keep us from ALL sin, we just need to bring our will into the submission of God the Father just as Jesus Christ did.
Brethren: FLEE fornication. Flee every single thing in this Holy Bible that disqualifies one from eternal life in Heaven.
Let me be FRANK; if you are currently living in fornication or any of these sins mentioned, you are already in hell. If you die today knowing that you plan to continue in these same sins you have been living in, your destination is likely eternal hell fire. The only option at life eternal in heaven that you have is Repentance! Turning from your sins. Ask Forgiveness from the Lord and ask Him to help you never do that sin again.
The door of Repentance is Open, you can come out of the hellfire now and unto the Straight and Narrow path that leads to Heaven.
When I was young I knew most of these things were sin, but I always had the understanding that I can just apologize to God after I sin and I am all good, still on my way to heaven(#GraceAbuse). When i got older and God changed my heart and He helped me to start reading His Word I found out; that was a lie.
When I read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 my life was changed! The apostle Paul made it clear that one living in sin(consistently/ you know you plan to go do it again) will NOT make it to heaven!
Brother/Sister; I want to make it to Heaven. I am not a christian just so other people will think I am a good person, I get no excitement from that. I want to live a life pleasing to God and I want to be accepted by Him on Judgement Day. Brother/Sister; I do not want to be left behind, I do not want to be like the Rich man in hell begging for Abraham to have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip his finger in water to cool my tongue because I am exceedingly tormented by the flame of hell for all eternity! I do not want to see that place. Many of our Brothers and Sisters that claim to be Christians are currently in route to that place. Many of our siblings, children, family members, are headed to that place due to living in the sin of Fonication.
If you are living in fornication brethren I urge you with all my Heart, REPENT NOW! Turn from that life unto Jesus Christ and He will keep you from it if you desire to live for Him. If you have already turned from sin, but are constantly tempted by fornication and desire to marry, please do so as soon as possible. Married life is not easy and it is nothing to play with, but if you desire to marry and are tempted by fornication, JUST GET MARRIED. You do not need all the glitz and glamour of a wedding if you are currently very weak. If you know you can hold on by the grace of God, amen, do so and have a grand wedding, but if you are tempted to sin, and you have the option to marry instead of going to a sin that leads to hell, just get married. Even if you have to just go to the county and sign the paper and have a witness. Obey God and do not sin.
It seems like more people have gotten married in 2017 than any year before in the last 10 years. I say, AMEN. There is a lot of God’s people who were living in fornccation, but now are married to one husband or one wife and are no longer living in sins. Hell lost many occupants this year on fornication alone. The enemy wants you in hell, the enemy knows you love fornication, but God has a way for you to enjoy the sexual pleasure but you must do it His way. According to Jesus Christ, it is better that you cut off the sexual organ causing you to sin than to continue sinning and go to hell.
If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend that you are currently sexually active with, play this message for them/share these scriptures with them. Come together in agreement to now abstain from the sin of fornication until you get married. GOD WILL BLESS your Obedience! If you play this message for your boyfriend or girlfriend and they say they still want to have sex outside of God’s plan and will not stay with you unless you have sex with them, RUN! They are not kingdom ready and are trying to bring you to hell with them!
Warn your church members, warn your nephews and nieces, warn your own children and whoever will listen, forncation is leading them to hell, but they have a chance now to repent through the precious blood of Jesus! The colleges and high schools today have forncation running rampid in them. This world we live in is making it seem normal. You may be alienated if you do not participate, that means the devil is doing a good job. Do not fall for His trap!
If you have never participated in fornication, stay away from it! Stay virgin until you marry, if you marry. Women and Men. Woman it is very important in the sight of God that you stay pure and holy until married. Do not even play. Be Very careful. Your virginity is sacred, do not let some man destroy your commitment to God. Warn others around you to stay away from foncation as well. Be the example of what is right by God as we lean in Romans chapter 12. Even if everyone around you is practicing fornication, you stay Holy unto God, you have been enlightened to His way and do not let any worker of iniquity pull you away from God’s Holy way!
Lastly, do not try to substitute anything for forncation. No masturabtion, no oral sex, no pornogroaphy, if you want to make it to Heaven, just obey God! Do things His way and you will be blessed, keep trying to find your own w ay around His way and you may be blocking your blessing. Commit your heart to obeying the will of God NO TURNING BACK!
