We have been on this series for five Saturday’s running – Tips for maintaining sexual integrity as believers. We have maintained that sexual integrity is basically about faithfulness to the marriage covenant for married people or purity in relationship for engaged people.
Tip 6: GET HELP
Sexual sins are often symptomatic of deeper emotional needs that a man is trying to satisfy in all the wrong ways that God has never supported. Repenting of the sin itself is the first step in the right direction, which is very necessary, but recognizing the conflicts, needs or pressures that led you into that behavior should be the next unavoidable step, which will require some specialized care, discipline and counselling from a more Matured Christian. Don’t hesitate to seek godly counsel/help if you’re trapped in cycles of ongoing, out-of-control sexual behaviors, or abnormal sexual thoughts . The solution you need may be more than just “pray and get over it!”. If you’re willing to seek professional help for taxes, investments, job opportunities, medical care or career counseling, surely you’ll be willing to do the same or even more to maintain your sexual integrity as a believer.
Hear these words from the Scriptures – People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. {Prov 28:13 NLT}
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. {James 5:16 NLT}
Help is always available in Christ.
