00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,200
Hey girl, we’re your hosts, Iz

2
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,200
Ans Zi.

3
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,960
And welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl podcast.

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,480
In today's episode, we will talk about sexual purity.

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,680
Part one, the eye gate.

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,360
Be careful what you're watching.

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:41,520
In Psalm 119, verse 37, it says, turn my eyes from looking at worthless things and give

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,680
me life in your ways.

9
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,480
We want to talk about the main word sensuality.

10
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:53,480
What is sensuality and what does it mean for something to be sensual?

11
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Well, sensual means physically pleasing.

12
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,240
Sensual has to do with the five senses, but it comes with a hint of lewdness and a suggestion

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,680
of sex.

14
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,120
Sensuality is put into so many things nowadays.

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:16,920
Books, movies, clothes, music, videos, advertisements, food, drinks, and the list can go on and on.

16
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,360
But when we start to see a theme of sensuality, we know it definitely isn't godly or good

17
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720
in any respect.

18
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,960
In Galatians chapter 5, verse 19, it says, now the works of the flesh are evident, sexual

19
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:36,640
immorality, impurity, and sensuality.

20
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Sensual means it gratifies our senses.

21
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,360
If it feeds the flesh, then it damages the spirit.

22
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:53,600
In Romans chapter 13, verse 14, it says, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision

23
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,720
for the flesh to gratify its desires.

24
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,800
We don't just damage our purity when we do stuff physically, but we can also damage

25
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,280
our purity by what we watch, see, look at, or read.

26
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Also be careful of the type of pleasures you give into because there are good pleasures

27
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160
and bad pleasures.

28
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,440
For instance, sensual pleasure is sinful and wrong.

29
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,560
The more we give in to sensual sin is the more we crave it, and when we give in to sensual

30
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,160
sin and start to crave it, then the cycle starts.

31
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,240
And then slowly or rapidly, we start to fall into sexual cravings.

32
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,040
For example, if we're doing schoolwork online or we got to do homework, right, we have to

33
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,280
finish.

34
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,920
And we're on the computer just doing our homework and something pops up.

35
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:54,680
And it's our favorite cartoon characters, our favorite cartoon show, movies, books,

36
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,040
you name it.

37
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:04,040
And we take a little peek, and it may not be sexual, but it's sensual, and then it starts

38
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,600
to get into our mind.

39
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:15,800
And we start to think, how would it be if a boy liked me or if I was kissed?

40
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:26,040
See, those little things can turn into sexual desires, sexual arousment.

41
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,920
But remember this, even if you have been practicing what we just talked about, you are never too

42
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:32,080
far from God.

43
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,680
He will purify us if we come to Him and commit ourselves to Him.

44
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,480
Also seek help.

45
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Go to a trusted, godly person.

46
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,640
You could be a trusted friend your age, and both of you could go to an adult.

47
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:54,120
It could also be a parent, a mentor, an aunt, an uncle, someone you deeply trust and you

48
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,360
know is a godly influence in your life.

49
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:05,640
This way, we can be free from feelings of guilt, shame, worthlessness, feeling dirty,

50
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,040
and un-pure.

51
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,760
In James 4-8, it says, draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

52
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Take a break from everything that distracts you from God so that you can hear Him and

53
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,040
focus on Him only.

54
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,320
Time for our special segment with is and is I.

55
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,160
See if you can identify the song that these lyrics are from.

56
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,640
God is good all the time if He ain't then you lie.

57
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,080
In the rain in the shine, God is good all the time.

58
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,080
I know.

59
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:44,240
Is it God is good by Caleb Gordon and Forrest Frank?

60
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,880
How did you get that right?

61
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,880
God knows everything.

62
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Amen.

63
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Well, if you got the question right, give yourself a pat on the back and good job, Zi.

64
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,240
And the church says, amen.

65
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,080
Anyways, that was a great special segment and this has been such a great podcast episode.

66
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,120
However, if you don't have salvation, none of these tips we just shared with you will

67
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,760
actually help you in your daily lives.

68
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,720
So if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message will help

69
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,720
you.

70
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,720
But if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then I invite you to give

71
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,680
your heart to the Lord today.

72
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,440
To receive Him into your heart, go to Romans 10, 9 through 10.

73
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:39,360
It says that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that

74
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,280
God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

75
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:49,760
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness and what the mouth confession is made unto

76
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,760
salvation.

77
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:57,000
If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are saved and now have eternal life with Jesus.

78
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,560
You are saved from all your sins, past, present, and future sins you may commit.

79
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,680
Now this truth is not a free pass to sin anytime.

80
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:14,840
Instead, Jesus gives you power over all wrong choices and empowers you to spread the gospel

81
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:16,200
to others.

82
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,600
You are saved forever and your name is written in the book of life.

83
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Did you just give your life to God?

84
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,240
If you did, give yourself a pat on the back.

85
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,840
We are so godly proud of you.

86
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,360
Before we go though, we do want to read you our signature scripture that we will use throughout

87
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,760
the series on sexual purity.

88
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,360
It is Song of Solomon chapter 8 verse 4.

89
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,360
It says, Promise me a woman of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right.

90
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,800
Thank you so much for listening to this podcast episode.

92
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,200
And remember, keep those precious eyes pure.
