“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it,” (1 Corinthians 10:13).   When Jesus was tested in the Wilderness by the devil back in Matthew 4, his defense consisted of two things: Complete obedience (even though it was hard). Scripture– The first words out of Jesus’ mouth every time the devil went after him was, “It is written…” (v.4, v.7, & v.10).  Satan did not attempt to argue with Scripture.  Anytime you are…

Sex is literally everywhere. It is almost impossible to get away from it in our everyday lives. From billboards to advertisement on television, one would be lucky if they can go 24 hours without seeing, listening, hearing, or reading something pertaining to sex. So how do you keep your thoughts pure while abstaining from sex? The answer can be a lot of different things to many but for me, it is staying connected to God. To be honest, I did try to fast from watching shows, reading books, and listening to music that contained any sexual content, even if it was as simple as a kiss but the fast did…

It is not that simple to walk a life of purity. If anybody told you that being a virgin or practicing celibacy is easy, well, good for them. However, to those who are made of flesh and have fleshly desires and cravings, well, let me be the first to tell you that that is natural and also very normal. God knew exactly what He was doing when He created you and I. What God wants from us is not to ignore our desires and cravings or satisfy them with instant gratification. God wants us to submit our flesh to Him daily. Luke 9:23 states, “Then he [Jesus] said to them…

Can I tell you how happy I am to be a virgin? Now, don’t get me wrong. I spent alot of my younger adult years not valuing such a special gift because of how I felt and what I saw. Those who went to church were having sex and saw nothing wrong with it. Friends whom I made a pact with to wait it out till marriage gave in. In television shows and movies, all I saw were people having sex as long as they were either physically attracted to each other, in love, or just needed their sexual appetite fed regardless of how they felt towards the person who…

The enemy is after your purity. He will do anything and everything to make you get rid of such a precious gift. Once you make that commitment to God to hold on to it until He blesses you with marriage, the enemy begins to work overtime. God has heard you loud and clear, but so has the enemy. The enemy is the author of manipulation, deception, confusion, and deceitfulness. He will start to make people who you never had any interest in before look good. People from your past will come back. Your DM’s begin to flood with people trying to “get to know you”. Just about every guy [or…

The very act of sex has become distorted. From the shows and movies we watch, to the books we read, to the music we listen too. There is nothing godly about the way sex is portrayed today. I never had sex but I know that God has been showing me His truth about it little by little so that I can continue waiting it out because truthfully, it gets hard sometimes. I know people who wanted to wait but gave in because of the struggle of waiting. However, I believe that when you know the truth about something, it will make you want to wait. So let me share with…
