Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2558298/fan_mail/new] Good afternoon everyone God bless you all This is another day the Lord has made We will rejoice For the Lord has been good to us The Lord has been faithful You see this is a wonderful day Whenever you have breath within your lungs that's a wonderful day You should be grateful to God for the gift of life because there are people that wanted to be in your situations There are people that need but they are not with us It was not important to them but now they are no more So that's why we need to glorify God That's why we need to set our sight on God because the Bible is our roadmap [00:00-41:19] and the words of God is our directions We are one of the most fortunate people today because we have breath It was not through mysterious outcome of our own It was the greatness of God So for that alone we should be grateful to God for the gift of life Now welcome back to the Winning Souls for Jesus podcast I am your host Paul Thomas and this is the podcast where we do not water down the words of God We do not water down the word of God to fit your needs We preach it straight and authentic We preach it whole We preach it the way it is written not the way culture wishes it was written If you are new here let me tell you what this show is all about This is not a self-help podcast This is not your best life podcast This is the Bible podcast where authenticity and scriptures are displayed And the Bible is not always comfortable The Bible does not exist to make you feel good about yourself The Bible exists to tell you the truth about God's words the truth about sins and the truth about the only way out of sins which is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior You see today's topic we'll be discussing sexual immorality and what God's word says about it This topic we'll be discussing it from scriptures We do not give our own opinions and we do not compromise Now as I'm speaking to you I already know some of you finger is hovering over the escape button Somebody is about to turn this off before I even get started I'm going to ask you to do me one thing before you can do that Stay with me because the truth is about to set you free It might make you uncomfortable It must make you uncomfortable because freedom usually does You see the Bible says in John 8 verse 32 "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." Not the truth shall make you comfortable but the truth shall set you free So today we are not going to argue with culture We are going to open the words of God and let the words of God speak for itself And whatever the Bible says it has said to it it is authentic Not because I say it but because God said it You see scripture said in Isaiah 40 verse 8 "The grass withereth and the flower fadeth but the words of our God shall stand forever." Every opinion in this culture is a grass It withers It fades away It gets replaced by lesser opinions But the words of God stand forever It stands forever It stood a thousand years ago and it stands today And it will stand a thousand years from now long after our voice is in the dust You see God has given us opportunities to make a decision today a unique decision that will transform our life a decision that will have a significant impact on us Many Christians have heard these expressions such as evil spirit covering or evil covering curse You see while those exact terms do not appear in scriptures they are sometimes used to describe a life that has become deeply influenced by sin depression and spiritual The Bible does teach that there is a real spiritual battle and that believers are called to walk in the light rather than the darkness Most of all we practice all of those sexual immorality because we want to please our flesh We practice drunkenness because we want to please our desires We practice homosexual behavior because we want to please our flesh We practice promiscuity because we want to please our flesh Remind us that our struggle is not ultimately against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil At the same time scripture also tell us that Jesus Christ has authority over every power of darkness Everything you are facing today everythings you are facing that you do not have power over you have tried to leave sexual behaviors you have tried to desist for sexual behaviors but it is tough I want you to give your life to Jesus Christ today I want you to give those obstacles to Jesus Christ He will heal you You see the focus of Christian life is not fear of unseen forces but confident in the victory of Jesus Christ Give your life to Jesus today You may be a promiscuous person God can change you You are not too gone for God You may be practicing homosexuals God can change you You are not too gone for God God can deliver you from all of those things that separate you from Him Just run to Jesus Christ Spiritual bondage is real Spiritual view is real All of those things take you setback from God All of those things distance you from God We cannot see the spirit realms That's why God repeatedly warn us against lifestyle that has separate people from Him Distance Unrepented sins Unrepented sins harden the heart from God Hatred destroy our relationship from God Pride blind judgment Greed replace God with possessions Sexual immorality corrupt what God created as holy We got to repent Those things are all earthly desires But what will become of you when you stand in the presence of a righteous and holy God We got to make a decision right now When people reject God they often experience the consequences of all of those things Many of us we feel trapped in our sins because we reject God Many of us we feel guilty we feel bitterness we feel addictions hopelessness because our relationship with God is distant We got to fix our relationship with God Spiritual darkness and evil covering is real The gospel is a message of freedom That's why Jesus said "If the Son therefore shall make you free you shall be free indeed." John 8:36 Freedom begin with repentance Not merely feeling sorry about yourself but turning away from sins and turning towards God Your faith in Jesus Christ your obedience in His words prayers fellowship with other believers Distance yourself from things that separate you from God If you're listening to me today and you feel you are distant from God remember remember no darkness is greater than the light of Jesus Christ No failures is beyond His ability to forgive you No chain is stronger than the saving power of Jesus Christ The invitation of the gospel remain open to you Confess your sins and turn to Jesus Christ ......... Walk in a new life today No matter what you may you may be doing leave it Turn around and walk back to the cross Walk back to the cross of Jesus Christ Now before we get into the teaching let us pray Heavenly Father gracious King of glory King Jesus we thank You that Your light is greater than every darkness Search our heart and reveal everything that separate us from You Give us the humanity to repent the faith to trust in You Lord Jesus and the strength to walk in Your obedience Protect us from deceptions Help us to love what is truth and righteous and fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that our life reflect Your glory We declare our confident in Christ alone for He is our Lord our Redeemer and our everlasting hope Lord Jesus take preeminent control of our life Break every chain that has distant us from You Every chains of bondage every chains of deceptions every chain of spiritual blindness we destroy it right now by the blood of Jesus We set ourself free Our life is in the hands of God No devil have control over us Only Jesus have control over us Lord Jesus we call upon You this afternoon King of King Lord of Lord the God that never sleeps come to our rescue Deliver us from the hands of the evil ones and set us free from everything that has confused our mind Give us our real identity our identity You created us with To think that we are the next gender that we are not we break that chain right now by the blood of Jesus and set us free from every homosexual behavior and set us free from every drunkenness and set us free from every things that is not of You Every promiscuity behaviors set us free from it And deliver us from the hands of the evil ones because we want to live in Your presence We tell You thank You Lord Jesus in Jesus' name Now let's talk about what God actually says about sexual immorality and let's talk about the grace that's still available to every single person listening to me right now No matter what you have done no matter what you are doing no matter what you are struggling with today I want you to listen to me I want you to turn to Leviticus 18 Leviticus 18 Because what I'm about to say I do not want you to just hear it I want you to see it Turn the Bible to Leviticus 18 This go back to the foundations back before the church back before the cross back to the wilderness back to Mt Sinai back to the movement God was building a people set apart for Him Leviticus 18 scripture said "Thou shall not lie with mankind as with womankind It is an abomination." Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shall not lie with mankind as with womankind It is abomination." It is abomination That is not a very soft words That is not a soft words Abomination is God's strongest language The same words for child sacrifice God used that word abomination God does not waste that word and He does not say it once He said it twice so nobody can call it scriptures mistake So nobody could say it was taken out of context Leviticus "For a man also lie with mankind as he lie with womankind both of them have committed an We invite you to connect with us at winningsouls4jesus12@gmail.com.
