Lust vs Healthy Sexual Desire

Whenever I mention what Jesus said on Matthew 5:28, “- – – anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” many people ask me, “How can I then decide who to marry without sexually lusting after them?”
 
This question totally breaks my heart because it tells me that those people who ask this question see lust as a holy and pure sexual desire every one of us naturally have.

It’s not like going from Ethiopia to America

This is a short clip from my last Sunday sermon message at Lancaster. This message is very dear and close to my heart. And to tell you the truth, this message is all about Appeal for Purity Ministry.

Busy! Busy! Busy!

Watch out if you are busy because if Satan can’t convince you to sin, he will make you busy so that you won’t have time to pray and read the Bible. And once he gets you busy, he will say, “Gotcha real good now!” ///

“May the Lord forgive you for saying that”

A4P Guest: I’m 25 years old. I came to Christ when I was 13. Since then, I have been in the house of God. I’ve never had a relationship with a woman. And knowing that it is a right season for me to look for a wife, I began praying about it. And amazingly enough, while I was in the middle of a two week program just to pray and fast before God for a wife, I began thinking about this one particular girl I know in my church. That weekend, I went to church and a man of God who is a prophet called me and prophesied saying, “The woman you are thinking about is your wife.” So, I accepted that and prayed about it and went to the woman and told her. She said she would pray about it and yesterday she called me and said that she didn’t think I am the one she wants to marry. I told her that she shouldn’t sin against God by refusing to listen to what the man of God said. I don’t know why she said that, maybe because she is not that strong in the Lord. How can I convince her and help her to grow spiritually?
