Tenacious. That’s the kind of grip your sexual addiction can have on you- no matter if it’s porn, masturbation, or hooking up. So, here’s a tough question.
While your sexual sin is holding on to you, what are you holding onto?
The reality is we are living in an on-demand kind of world. As a Christian battling for sexual freedom, it’s important to recognize if you’re holding onto the hope of instant results or the hope of God.
In this episode of “Becoming Whole,” we’ll confront the struggle together and then show you how to consecrate the process. True sexual freedom embraces God’s plan, design, and timing, not results.
Highlights:
If your unwanted sexual sin never goes away, what will you do? If the temptations persist and you continue to fall, what will you do?
Confront yourself with the possibility that you may not be as free as you had hoped to be free.
Confront yourself with the possibility that you may not make the progress you want to.
But, don’t give up. Continue to follow Jesus. Don’t abandon the journey.
Ask yourself: What else is driving you forward beside your results?
For so many Christians pursuing freedom from unwanted behaviors, we find that deep down is an insistence that God do it “our way,” when we want it. This is in contradiction to what it means to follow Jesus.
We all are living in a culture that demands results. If we don’t see the results we name, in the timeframe we expect; we can question God’s goodness, the truth of scripture, God’s design.
While many think, “If I have to struggle in the area of my sexuality, then I can’t trust God with my sexuality.” That thinking limits you to two choices: 1. To forget God 2. To keep suffering.
But, the other option is to open our sexuality to God and consecrate our sexuality to God.
Homework:
Consecrating your struggle to God can begin with a prayer like this:
“Lord, enter into my suffering. Enter my temptation. I consecrate to Your will and Your purposes. I trust You to bring good out of it - whether it means freedom from the temptation or freedom through the temptation.”
