Numbers 25:1, Commit whoredoms.\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Sexual immorality is the downfall of many who consider themselves to be strong and righteous, and there is a terrible price to pay for it as the Israelites found out.<\/p>\n

\"Sex,<\/a><\/p>\n

The enemy (the world, the flesh and the devil) knows our\u00a0weaknesses and will do what its most\u00a0to capitalize on them for our destruction. Romans 13:14 says, \u201cBut put on the Master Yeshua Messiah, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.\u201d<\/p>\n

What doors of immorality have you kept open in your life to gratify the immoral cravings of the flesh? What spiritual stronghold exists in your life that the enemy can use to keep you under its\u00a0thumb and from walking in the joy and freedom of the will of YHVH? It is time to cry out to YHVH for help and deliverance and to repent.<\/p>\n

Setting immovable boundaries in one\u2019s heart ahead of time is a major key to resisting sexual temptation successfully. It\u2019s important to decide how far we can go without violating the spiritual guidelines the Scriptures lay out for us to stay righteous sexually, and then not allow ourself too get too close to those limits.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in a potentially compromising situation, flee that situation to alleviate the possibility of falling prey to moral compromise (2 Tim 2:22). Young people who are endowed with strong sexual urges need to bathe their minds in the godly admonitions found in Proverbs chapters one through nine (also note Eccl 11:9\u201310 and 12:1\u201314).<\/p>\n

Learning the ways of wisdom and the fear of Elohim as revealed in these chapters in Proverbs is a vital component to staying strong morally and being triumphant over the wicked temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil.<\/p>\n
