Sexual Temptations

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. - 1 Corinthians 6:18

One major problem most folks (both make and female) faces is Sexual Temptations. There is this need to be accepted sexually. This is more difficult for most men. Our DNA is pre-loaded with the strong instinct to feel attraction and desire, yet life and morality demand that we are able to control those instincts.

While women are by no means immune from sexual temptation, generally speaking, men struggle with sexual temptation to a much greater degree. Far more men commit adultery than women. In premarital relationships, men are far more likely to seek sex from their partners than women. But nowadays, the trend is changing, a lot of both men and women struggles with Sexual issues.

Even though our culture is obsessed with serving up sex on every possible platter, we don’t have to give in to these tantalizing temptations. It is possible to live in a sexually saturated society and overcome temptation.

The big and major question is How Do We Overcome Sexual Temptations? Thankfully, the Bible gives us answers on how to....

Remove sources of sexual temptation. Temptation is not a sin, but acting on it is. If you find yourself lustfully fantasizing and engaging in behavior you know to be morally wrong, then identify the source of that temptation and remove it. The Internet may be one of those sources. Although we hear more about men being addicted to Internet pornography, women also struggle with this addiction. Purchase a good filter and monitor your viewing habits. The Bible instructs us to flee from sexual temptation, not log on and hope it doesn’t bother us. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 says "Flee from all appearances of evil..."

Sex can be so tempting. Sex is good but only for the married. When you start having sex outside the confines of marriage, you are setting up yourself for emotional breakdown, spiritual bankruptcy and incessantly and unnecessary drawbacks.

Prayer Point: If you are struggling with Sexual Temptations, simply ask God to help you overcome it. Ask for His help now before the strugglings consume you.

The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.
