Hey girl, we’re your hosts, Iz
Ans Zi.
And welcome or welcome back to the Forever GodGirl podcast.
In today's episode, we will talk about sexual purity.
Part one, the eye gate.
Be careful what you're watching.
In Psalm 119, verse 37, it says, turn my eyes from looking at worthless things and give
me life in your ways.
We want to talk about the main word sensuality.
What is sensuality and what does it mean for something to be sensual?
Well, sensual means physically pleasing.
Sensual has to do with the five senses, but it comes with a hint of lewdness and a suggestion
of sex.
Sensuality is put into so many things nowadays.
Books, movies, clothes, music, videos, advertisements, food, drinks, and the list can go on and on.
But when we start to see a theme of sensuality, we know it definitely isn't godly or good
in any respect.
In Galatians chapter 5, verse 19, it says, now the works of the flesh are evident, sexual
immorality, impurity, and sensuality.
Sensual means it gratifies our senses.
If it feeds the flesh, then it damages the spirit.
In Romans chapter 13, verse 14, it says, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision
for the flesh to gratify its desires.
We don't just damage our purity when we do stuff physically, but we can also damage
our purity by what we watch, see, look at, or read.
Also be careful of the type of pleasures you give into because there are good pleasures
and bad pleasures.
For instance, sensual pleasure is sinful and wrong.
The more we give in to sensual sin is the more we crave it, and when we give in to sensual
sin and start to crave it, then the cycle starts.
And then slowly or rapidly, we start to fall into sexual cravings.
For example, if we're doing schoolwork online or we got to do homework, right, we have to
finish.
And we're on the computer just doing our homework and something pops up.
And it's our favorite cartoon characters, our favorite cartoon show, movies, books,
you name it.
And we take a little peek, and it may not be sexual, but it's sensual, and then it starts
to get into our mind.
And we start to think, how would it be if a boy liked me or if I was kissed?
See, those little things can turn into sexual desires, sexual arousment.
But remember this, even if you have been practicing what we just talked about, you are never too
far from God.
He will purify us if we come to Him and commit ourselves to Him.
Also seek help.
Go to a trusted, godly person.
You could be a trusted friend your age, and both of you could go to an adult.
It could also be a parent, a mentor, an aunt, an uncle, someone you deeply trust and you
know is a godly influence in your life.
This way, we can be free from feelings of guilt, shame, worthlessness, feeling dirty,
and un-pure.
In James 4-8, it says, draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Take a break from everything that distracts you from God so that you can hear Him and
focus on Him only.
Time for our special segment with is and is I.
See if you can identify the song that these lyrics are from.
God is good all the time if He ain't then you lie.
In the rain in the shine, God is good all the time.
I know.
Is it God is good by Caleb Gordon and Forrest Frank?
How did you get that right?
God knows everything.
Amen.
Well, if you got the question right, give yourself a pat on the back and good job, Zi.
And the church says, amen.
Anyways, that was a great special segment and this has been such a great podcast episode.
However, if you don't have salvation, none of these tips we just shared with you will
actually help you in your daily lives.
So if you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then this message will help
you.
But if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then I invite you to give
your heart to the Lord today.
To receive Him into your heart, go to Romans 10, 9 through 10.
It says that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that
God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness and what the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
If you said this prayer with sincerity, you are saved and now have eternal life with Jesus.
You are saved from all your sins, past, present, and future sins you may commit.
Now this truth is not a free pass to sin anytime.
Instead, Jesus gives you power over all wrong choices and empowers you to spread the gospel
to others.
You are saved forever and your name is written in the book of life.
Did you just give your life to God?
If you did, give yourself a pat on the back.
We are so godly proud of you.
Before we go though, we do want to read you our signature scripture that we will use throughout
the series on sexual purity.
It is Song of Solomon chapter 8 verse 4.
It says, Promise me a woman of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right.
Thank you so much for listening to this podcast episode.
We hope it helped you and we hope that you learned something.
And remember, keep those precious eyes pure.
