What I Learned Today
Leviticus 18-24 contains 24 laws from the bible regarding sexual immorality. These laws were given to God's people to protect us from moral decay and emotional breakdown.
Sexual immorality leads to the breakdown of body, spirit and emotions
body➡️spirit➡️emotions
When YHWH speaks of immorality, it is usually sexual immorality. Sex is the strongest human drive, next to survival itself. Sexual immorality is the result of discarding His laws and rejecting His moral standards, which leads to moral decay.
Sexual immorality dishonors the name of YHWH - in thought, word and deed. Engaging in sexual immorality does not just affect us; entire communities are affected via sexually transmitted disease, destruction of families, and crushed lives (especially children marred by incestuous assault and child trafficking).
We need the help and counsel from Spirit of Truth (Holy Spirit). We must allow Him to speak to us. We must not become dull to sin. It will literally destroy us. Addictions to porn or sexually explicit movies on television, internet and cell phones require us to TURN IT OFF!
Monitor who you spend time with, and become aware of how those conversations and interactions might be affecting your sexual impulses.
When the immoral impulse arises,
FLEE!!!
(Don't be caught with your pants down; by then it will be too late)
Cleanse us, LORD, from our unrighteousness
Heal us from our iniquity
Impart a new spirit within us
and set us free from ourselves!
We cannot do this without YOU
Save us!
