“And ye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John
8:32
WHAT IS BONDAGE? Have you ever been to a circus and seen an
elephant chained to a stake in the ground? Why
doesn’t he break free?
Because as a young elephant he was tied to a
tree. And try as he might, he couldn’t break
free. Now, he is ingrained with the thought that
he cannot break free.
How true that is of you
and me who have ingrained thought patterns in
our sex lives. We say, “I am chained to this
habit, and I can’t break free.” Or we say, “I’m
not strong enough.” All kinds of lies keep us in
bondage to sex, but real truth is what God says,
not what we think.
Are there any
strongholds in your sex life that keep you
chained to sex? Write down these verses and
memorize them.
2 Corinthians 10:4
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
but mighty through God to the pulling down of
strong holds;)”
Galatians 5:1 “Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
hath made us free, and be not entangled again
with the yoke of bondage.”
Now break free from
your sexual lies of the past as you tell
yourself the truth! You are in bondage just like
the elephant.
PORN OBJECTIONS
ANSWERED
Q:
Obscenity is a “victimless crime.”
A:
1. There is no such thing as a
“victimless” crime. In every crime
there is a seller or seducer, and the
person who purchases,
or the seduced. That person is the
immediate victim,
and society is the
ultimate victim, for
with each seduction the moral fabric
of
society is diminished.
The “victimless crimes” theory is an active
and insidious attack on almost
all laws
dealing with public morality, maintaining
there is “no victim” when “consenting adults” indulge in drugs,
prostitution, obscenity, homosexuality, adultery, incest, gambling,
etc.
2. A glaring instance of
victimization in obscenity are the children used in child pornography.
3. For centuries civil communities
have maintained laws against such behavior
as detrimental to the public
health, morals and welfare.
Q:
When “consenting adults” go to see
a
dirty movie, no one is being harmed.
A: Regarding
so-called “consenting adults,”
the U. S. Supreme Court said
in Paris
Theatre in June of 1973: “We categorically disapprove the theory
that obscene films acquire
constitutional immunity from state regulation
simply because they are exhibited for consenting adults only. Rights and
interests other than those
of the advocates
are involved. These include the interest of
the public in the quality of life, the total community
environment, the
tone of commerce,
and, possibly, the public safety itself.”
SEDUCTION
Seduction corrupts far deeper because
it reduces a person to a willing
partner
in sin. It is better to die than to tempt someone, warned Jesus.
Matthew 18:6 But if anyone causes one
of these
little ones who believe in me
to sin, it
would be better for him to
have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the
depths
of the
sea. (7) Woe to the world
because of the
things that
cause people to sin! Such
things must come, but
woe
to the man through whom
they come!
BONDAGE:
A DULL CONSCIENCE
It is said a pirate killed a man. He was
so horrified by his sin that it ruined his sleep for days. Yet he kept
killing. He reached the point where he could
murder someone and sleep like a baby, using the corpse as a pillow.
Remember the first time you had sex? You felt guilty. Each time you had
sex afterward, you felt less and less guilty until you were comfortable
with having sex any time you want to.
This is an illustration of Bondage.
We, too, having been surrounded by sexual sin all our
lives, have a conscience that in many areas has become disturbingly
dull, and we must fight Satan’s attempt to keep us that
way.

OLD TESTAMENT Lev 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
Lev 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any
beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand
before a beast to lie down thereto:
it is confusion.
Lev 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves
in any of these things: for in all
these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Lev 18:25 And the land is defiled:
therefore I do visit the iniquity
thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Lev 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep
my statutes and my judgments,
and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither
any of your
own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Lev 18:27 (For all these
abominations have the men of the land done, which were before
you,
and the land is defiled;)
Lev 18:28 That the land spue not
you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that
were
before you.
Lev 18:29 For whosoever shall
commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them
shall be cut off from among their people.
Lev 18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine
ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these
abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth
with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:13).
NEW
TESTAMENT Rom 1:26 For this
cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women
did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the
men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which
was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to
retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a
reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of
God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things,
disobedient
to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding,
covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of
death, not only do the same, but
have pleasure in them that do them.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous
shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye
are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name
of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
CONCLUSION Sexual sin
undoubtedly will go down in history as one of the major contributors
to the moral and
spiritual deterioration, decline,
and downfall of American society. Homosexuality is one more glaring
proof of the sexual anarchy that prevails in American civilization.
One wonders how much longer such widespread unchastity can continue
in our land before God will “visit the punishment of its iniquity
upon it,
and the land vomits out its inhabitants” (Leviticus 18:25). We know
today that homosexuality is
not caused by genetics (see Harrub, et al., 2004). It is not
“nature,” but “nurture” that is responsible. It is
not a life “style,” but rather a life “choice.” And it is wrong.
Every society in human history that has followed a course of moral
and spiritual depravity has either been destroyed by God or has
imploded from within. Like these previous civilized nations, our
society will not be permitted to survive indefinitely
into the future—unless, of course, God is prepared to apologize to
Sodom and Gomorrah.
SEXUAL SIN The strongest chains are not those that can be placed around the body,
but those that are wrapped around the mind and heart.
Commentary:
AM I A SEXUAL SINNER?
Presented by Carl A Davenport...but
Inspired by God
*****This Commentary is
adapted from the sermon by
Carl A Davenport called "Sex, Its All About You"
delivered to the
"Urban Nomads"
a homeless camp on
April 23, 2008,
Pensacola, FL
The Spiritual Forces Ministry exists to make you aware of your bondage to sexual sin
and the separation from God your sexual sin has caused. You may not
think you are separated from God because of your sexual sin, BUT YOU
ARE..
At Spiritual Forces Ministry we pray that you might turn to God and be delivered from your bondage and
separation. God
is in the delivering business. He will deliver you only when you
repent and sincerely ask Him. But...before you can ask Him to delivere
you from
your bondage and separation, you first have to know what the bondages of
sexual sin are.
(A few good illustrations of what bondage is is in the left column of this
page but...keep reading you'll know).
There are
three rules of bondage that always apply themselves to sin.
RULE NUMBER ONE:
THE SIN IS IN YOUR HEART
Sexual sin includes thinking about having any kind of sex with
anyone you are not married to. The sin starts here
because your mind always follows your heart. See Matthew 5:27-8. A
thought of sin only comes after the sin enters and is already in your heart. After the thought nourishes itself,
it then becomes physical . That's the part of the sin you commit by having any
type of sex with anyone you are
not
married to.
The sex you try to have daily
fits this description. Keyword: try. This shows the heart and thought
are
there because the act is beginning to take place. If you compare what's inside your heart and mind, and the
sexual behavior that follows your heart and mind to the definition of sexual sin, you will see clearly that your entire being is in
craving for sexual sin.
Remember, sexual sin is born in the heart, not
in the act. The act is last because it follows your thinking which
follows your heart. Simply because you do not always act on those thoughts
does not mean you are not guilty of sexual sin. If sexual sin is in
your heart your heart has sinned. You will surely be found guilty on judgment
day for just thinking lustfully. It will be just you and God.
RULE NUMBER TWO:
BONDAGE IS A SURE THING
Sexual Sin always turns into bondage. It will never fail you. That is by
God's design. Be not be deceived, God is not mocked,
whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall also reap. And...he will
reap right at the end of the growing season. If you sow wind, you
will reap whirlwind.
The first time you commit sexual sin you feel guilty because you know
God is watching. The second time you feel less guilty. The third time
less, and so on. Each time you feel the pleasure of sex you think more of
the pleasure of sex and less of the guilt. This is the beginning of the grip
of bondage.
In time sexual sin becomes the norm, and you feel as if it were less important of an issue with
God each time. Soon, God doesn't matter, only the pleasure form the
sexual sin does. This is bondage. You will deny you are in bondage by
thinking this is the way I am, or everyone else is like
this when it comes to sex, so it can't be wrong.
RULE NUMBER THREE: YOUR BONDAGE WILL CONTROL YOU
When you are in bondage to sexual sin, it seems like sex is the best thing
you could do.
It's the first thing you think of doing, pretty much all the time. You believe it's great to have sex as often as you can,
even if it is with someone you are not married to. You feel
comfortable about having sex with anyone you want to. Your lifestyle
becomes a just
sex, no rings, no strings, not tied down to anyone lifestyle. Or...sex may have be a vital part of
expressing your feelings in your relationship
with someone you are not married to. Either way, believe it or
not, it is sexual sin you are
in bondage to.
Satan is very good at what he does. He's also very simple. All he ever does
is whisper a little thought in your ear telling you to have sex. He
then shows you someone you are lustfully attracted to, and the rest is
up to you. He is so good at deceiving that the thought of sex
outside of marriage being sexual sin never enters your thought
pattern.
Sinning against God never enters your mind. Satan has you so distracted
with your own lust that you completely forgot about God, or God just
didn't matter. That is Satan's plan. To
use your own lusts against you. Satan and his deception has you
distracted and thinking only about satisfying
your self-centered sexual needs. If you follow the thought Satan has planted
in your path, or if you even dwell on it for too long, you will sin
sexually and bondage will get a grasp on you.
When you are in bondage to sexual sin, you believe sex is proper and its
not a sin. Your bondage tells your mind to
cleverly work in
the background to rationalize a good reason why having sex with this person is
right. Your mind, if you allow it, will always find many ways to distort
God's truth and deceive you
into committing sexual sin... Any sin for that matter.
Once you have hoodwinked yourself, and have physically had sex with
someone you are not married to, even if it's only an occasional
romp in the hay, it's still sexual sin...and you are still guilty...Or...if you have sex is with just one or two select partners
who you are not married to, or if you have sex to commemorate
some special occasion,
or if you have sex because you like the person, or because you were high
on drugs or alcohol, or if you have sex just when the time is right, or
if you have sex just because
you feel like your body needs relief...No reason is valid
with God. It is sexual sin. You are still guilty.
If you commit sexual sin, you have disobeyed God's law
every time you commit a sexual sin.
It is certain that sexual sin
will put you in bondage. Bondage is bondage, and bondage
will always be the same, whether you are rampantly
having sex with anyone willing, or just occasionally, with only one
person
you are not married to.
Whatever your reason,
it does not matter. It's not a reason, its an excuse for sinning. It is sexual sin
and God is putting you on notification right now as you read this
delivery.
WHO IS IN BONDAGE?
Porn stars are in bondage to sexual sin. Most of the stars are in bondage to many other sins
also. But...you don't have to be a porn star to be in the same bondages. All
you have to do is commit sin. Most
porn stars are not 'making a living' as they say they are with the sexual sin they perform on screen. They
are supporting other bondages, such as drugs, alcohol and other vices of
their lifestyle. Porn stars teach sexual sin
and lead others who watch them perform into
sexual sin. When you watch
them you want to have sex just like they do. The thoughts of sexual sin
fills your heart...Sin begins in the heart. You heart is full of sin
when you watch porn.
It says nothing in God's word about masturbation, but masturbation also
brings bondage.
Some, who are in bondage to masturbation say, don't knock it, it
was my first love. It wasn't their
first love, it was their first sexual sin and their first bondage. And
for many still is. Is that you?
If you are a prostitute working the streets, you are in bondage.
Your bondage has put you where you are. You are deceived because you
don't think its out of line with God. You only deceive yourself more if you're a prostitute
and you claim you're "not that bad" of a prostitute because you are only
prostituting to support yourself. You deceive yourself
even more if you are a single mom and claim to be just supporting
your children.
Your bondage is deep, and it has hoodwinked you.
Prostituting yourself is not God's way to support yourself, or your
children, or anything else. It is a tool of the devil. Satan has
deceived you into performing acts of sexual sin
that separates you from God. That's his goal, to separate you from God.
You are losing the spiritual battle one client at a time. You are in bondage
right now because you disobeyed God's sex law when you started being a
prostitute.
Bondage is one of the penalties attached to every sin.
You need to get honest with
yourself. You know you are not prostituting to support yourself
or your children. Nor for the excitement, because there is no excitement.
It left with the third or fourth client. You prostitute to support your
other bondages, or your drug habit. Which came first the chicken or the egg, or
the drugs or the prostitution? We know the bondage always comes last.
If you are a prostitute, and you think you are of "a higher grade" than the ordinary
street prostitute because your clients are wealthier and you do not
have to work the streets, your thoughts of some
"higher grade" deceive only you. You know exactly what your are.
You are a prostitute. A prostitute whose deeds are no different than the prostitute working
the street. You are both sinners and are in bondage to same kind
of sexual sin. But...at
least you have softened your job title and given it a higher class name such as
"call girl" or "escort." Mom won't be as shocked when she finds out. She'll
really be thankful that your a call girl or escort and not
a prostitute or street hooker. The fancy title does make it not sound
as bad. But, in reality, God is not looking at your soft title.
He's looking at your heart. He knows you are still a prostitute. He
won't even add credit for your creativity with names because your sin
with a softer name isn't any 'softer' or less sinful than the sin of the street prostitute? You deceive only
yourself with your softer title. It doesn't soften the
profession. It only deceives you. You know the truth and it's
looking you right in the eye. Sexual sin is sexual sin no matter how
softly you name it, its still sexual sin in God's eyes.
If you are the "end user" or watcher of pornography, or
you are a client of a prostitute, you are also 'locked in' to sexual
sin. You are the foundation that sexual sin builds upon. Without an end user or
a client, prostitution or porn
could not exist. Therefore you are a support system for sexual sin. Your
dollars fund it. Your participation keeps it alive and growing. You are the one who fuels the
sexual sin machine, greases its gears and keeps it running smoothly. The entire sexual sin machine
would stall if you did not support it. You are in bondage to sexual sin.
Don't think you're not doing evil. You disobey God's law every time you
partake. The Judgment day
is on its way. How will you explain yourself? Will you tell the Lord you
weren't that bad? Will you tell God you only followed the leader, or will
you tell God you lead the followers?
You say you watch porn only once in a while, or 'on an occasion.' You do not lie. You watch it
until you commit sexual sin by yourself, then you turn it off and go about your
other sinful business. You still broke God's law whether you did it by
yourself or with a hundred others. If you done it once, you have sinned once. If you done it
twice, you have sinned twice. Your first sin lights the fires of hell
for you.
The rest just make the fire hotter. If you claim you only watch porn and
satisfy yourself occasionally,
and you don't think you're that
bad, think about this. If you are hanging over a fire by a ten link chain, which link has
to break for you to fall into the fire? Look at it
truthfully. You use porn for the
fast self gratification you always seek, and you sometimes urge members of the
opposite sex to watch it with you to steer them into your sexual sin.
It's your heart.
You cruise the streets, back and forth, in the devil's darkest
neighborhoods, looking for a prostitute until you find that 'special
one' and receive your sexual satisfaction from her. When you find
the 'special' prostitute, you have just entered the devil's ballpark, to
receive what feels like heaven for a few seconds. That's one of the deceptions
of Satan. The devil has you gladly trading that
few seconds of sexual pleasure for an eternity
of pleasure with God.
The next day your urge for sexual satisfaction will be back,
if not later tonight. So you repeat the process. Every time you just think about finding a prostitute
you have disobeyed God's law.
Its in your heart, not in your act. And...the more you look for
sexual satisfaction in a prostitute, the more satisfaction escapes
you. You never can reach the point of satisfaction you are searching for. You are always left in a
void. This is bondage and the absence of God in your heart.
Was that you who helped a member of the opposite sex get under the influence of
drugs or alcohol so you could have 'your way' with them? I bet you never did that.
If you haven't, then you did not disobey God's law on this one. We
won't need to go there, you're innocent. Take an honest look at
yourself. If you have done this act, sexual sin has you in bondage so bad that you will
go as far as to drugging
someone just to have sex with you. Who do you think is the
originator of this? Your not. You are more than 2000 years behind the
originator of this act. The devil is the originator. He is also the
originator of influencing others to do this. You are his puppet. It's
time to get honest and face how evil you really are when sexual sin is
involved.
WHY DID YOU VISIT THIS PAGE?
THERE ARE
FOUR MAIN REASONS WHY MOST PEOPLE VISIT THIS PAGE
Some visit because they were asked to check out the site.
THE
4 MAIN REASONS:
1.
CURIOSITY;
When it comes to sexual sin, you are curious because
whatever you are curious about in sexual sin directly relates back to you. If it doesn't,
you are
not curious about it. Its that simple. You, who claim to be 'only curious,' know how guilty you are, but are frantically searching for
something that will convince you that you are not as
guilty as you know you are.
You are looking for some kind of documentation to convince you
that you are acting in a normal manner rather than a sinful manner when
it comes to your sex life.
2. TO
MOCK; If you are a mocker of sexual sin, you are
guilty of sexual sin. You can only mock sexual sin when you know enough
about sexual sin to mock it. Otherwise none of the sexual sinners you
are mocking to would bother listening to you. They listen to who knows and
ignore who doesn't.
3. FOR SUPPORTING EVIDENCE OF DENIAL;
You deny being a sexual sinner. You call your sexual sin just a
normal healthy sexual appetite. The sex therapists on television say so. You have a
sexual hunger and are ready to have sex with anyone who appeals to you
to overcome that hunger.
But...to you, that's not sexual sin, its fulfilling your desires.
Besides everybody's having sex, all over
the world, all the time. So it's ok to have sex if everyone is doing it.
The world approves. You have chosen the worlds approval over God's. God
does NOT approve. You are now believing a false doctrine.
The reason you believe everyone
else is having sex constantly is because you try to have sex all
the time. You know the truth, but you deny it. You think you can
rename your sexual sin to 'active' sexual appetite' because some
television show host's misguided opinions say so. You know what sexual
sin is, and God knows the truth about you. He knows every sexual sin you
have committed. Even the ones you've overlooked hidden or forgotten about. You
can continue as you are for the rest of your life and live to the
world's standards, but they are not God's standards. God's standards are
the standards. The world's standards are man made. On that great last
day, there will be a
consequence for every sexual sin you commited. They are waiting for you. You
will soon be experiencing them.
You can only deny God's laws for a season. He is calling you, to repent right now. That is
why you are reading this. God put it here for you to read so you will
see how disgusting you really are and ask Him for forgiveness. He's
calling and you better answer. If you don't, it'll
be...Payday...someday...when you will receive your wages for the sins
you've committed. (ROMANS
6:23) Its time to get on your knees and ask him to save you. Its time
you got real.
4. TO SEEK THE TRUTH;
You are tired of being the way you are and don't
know how to stop being that way. You are desperate. You know the truth will set you free,
but you don't have it. Well, here it is: The Truth is admitting to or confessing your
sexual sin.
That is the first step. Recovery from the bondage starts here. Admitting it
to God is half your
problem. Repentance of the
sin is the second step. That means stop the sexual sin...now! Its
not just being sorry for doing it. Anyone can be sorry, but can YOU stop
now? Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior is the
third step. Only when you surrender to Him will He remove your from your bondage. Until you
fully accept and humbly live all three of
these steps, in the order given above, you will remain in bondage to all you
are in bondage to right now, and it will get worse.
You have been told what bondage is and you have been given the first three steps
for deliverance. Now its up to you
to put them in play. Read the information on the links below. Listen to
the video testimonies and read ...ALL OF IT. The website will direct you
to some contacts if you truly want help.
Remember, you never see God...But God always sees you...You may
have forgotten God is there, But He is still there...and He's watching you...everything
you do. He wants to deliver you from your bondage to sexual sin.
But you have to let Him. If you don't let Him save you today, He will
condemn you tomorrow.
Father God, I ask that you reach down and
touch the hearts of each of those who have come here for in desperation
looking for help. I pray you open their hearts that they may receive you, your grace and
your mercy. I ask you lead them to your forgiveness for their sexual sins, and that you lead
their hearts to truthful repentance so they become cleansed under the
blood of Jesus. This I ask in
the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. Amen.

FLEE PORNOGRAPHY
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man
doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:18
Rom 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be
dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin
therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in
the lusts thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of
unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as
those that are alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of
righteousness unto God.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Prov 9:13 A foolish woman
is clamorous: she is
simple, and knoweth nothing.
Prov 9:14 For she sitteth at the door of her
house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
Prov 9:15 To call passengers who go right on
their ways:
Prov 9:16 Whoso is
simple, let him turn in hither: and
as for him that wanteth understanding, she
saith to him,
Prov 9:17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread
eaten in secret is
pleasant.
Prov 9:18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
and that her guests
are in the depths of
hell.
Mat 5:27 Ye have heard
that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That
whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart.
WORDS OF JESUS
Mat 5:31
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put
away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That
whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of
fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Exodus 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
OBEYING GOD
1Jn 5:3 For this is the
love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments
are not grievous.
1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do
know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him,
and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is
not in him.
1Jn 5:21 Little children, keep
yourselves from idols. Amen.
Mat 7:22 Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess
unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work
iniquity.
