Sexual sin is very sickening. It takes to many people down the wrong path to hell. It saddens me to see so many people, even so called Christians are caught up in this sin. Sexual sin is made up of fornication, adultery, homosexuality and masturbation. Let’s begin our discussion on fornication. 5To die in this sin will keep a person out of heaven. But who are those that are called fornicators? Anyone that is in a sexual relationship with someone or something outside of marriage. Many people live in a sexual relationship before marriage and think they are justified by doing so. This includes straight and homosexual people. Sex outside of marriage also includes masturbation. You do not have to be in an actual sexual act with someone to commit this sin for you can also do this to yourself in your secret places. You may not be having sex with someone else physically but mentally you are having sex with a person in your mind. Even if that is not the case, you are having sex with yourself. This is all vile and very perverse in the sight of God. Just think of how God is reacting when you are in this filthy act. Would you want God to be in the same room as you while you are in the passion of your lust? How would you feel if this was recorded and displayed before you in judgement? I’m sure you would beg the Lord to turn it off and to have mercy. May this help your decision the next time you have sex outside of marriage or masturbate. 3We can’t hide our sins but all is seen in the presence of God. Walk knowing that God loves you and can see your every move. Repent and turn from your sins if you are currently living in fornication.
The Bible teaches, 2“thou shalt not commit adultery”. However, It is more than having sex with someone that is married, that is not our spouse. if we look at someone to lust, outside of marriage, we have also committed adultery. These lustful thoughts are more than just looking at someone on the street and looking at them to lust. It also includes pornography. Each time you turn your computer, phone or tablet on with the intention to view men or women or both naked and in a sexual act we have taken what the Lord says, is wrong, to the next level. Think about each time you’ve watched another person in the act of stripping or having sex and then knowing in your heart that you have committed adultery. Do you make light of these vile acts? What does this lifestyle cause? For one masturbation. Second, homosexual appetites. Third, the desire to fornicate and to physically commit adultery. Pornography is the drug of choice for Satan in our day. If you are wrapped up in it then you are acting as his puppet, each time your lust leads you to do this. When people are addicted to pornography they most likely look at straight and homosexual porn and think nothing of it. 4Therefore, the homosexual urges of having sexual relations with the same sex can more easily come out. 1This was never the desire of God and it grieves him to the heart just like Sodom and Gomorrah. God made us to meet, court and marry the opposite sex. Anything on the contrary is vile in nature. These people are not justified before God and are deeply in sin. Truly there salvation is at stake for what they are doing. Sexual sin will land a person in hell if repentance is not involved.
Let us pray:
Lord, 6help us to control our lustful appetites. Break every chain of addiction in people’s hearts. May everyone that says they believe in You, also walk in Your ways. Take away their desires to have sex outside of marriage, lust after someone of the same or opposite sex, and to please their lustful thoughts physically. Break their bonds of pornography and masturbation. Your kingdom is holy and therefore these types of people cannot enter. This saddens me to the core. Break their hearts that they may be cleansed from all sin. We cannot control our flesh but I know that You are able. You can see what makes us tick and are able to give us ways to resist temptation. Your ways are clean and wholesome. Cleanse our bodies that we may be a worthy temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell. We repent of our evil and confess our sins openly before You. We are sorry. Please forgive us. You are the Lord almighty. Come reign in our lives. Come Savior come. We need You. We love You more than all things. Amen.

(Sodom and Gomorrah)
1Genesis 19:1-11 (KJV)
1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
(Jesus teaches on Adultery)
2 Matthew 5:27,28 (KJV)
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
(We can’t hide things from God)
3 Luke 8:16,17 (KJV)
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
(Paul teaches on Homosexuality)
4 Romans 1:26-32 (KJV)
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
(Paul teaches on who will not inherit the kingdom of God)
5 1 Corinthians 6:9-11,15-20 (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 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.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
(Paul teaches on fleeing Fornication and controlling our lusts)
6 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 (KJV)
1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
