*TOPIC: HANDLING SEX IN MARRIAGE.*(Series 5) *Scripture Reading:* 1 Corinthians 7:1-2 *"Now as to the matters of which you wrote: It is good (beneficial, advantageous) for a man not to touch a woman [outside marriage]. But because of [the temptation to participate in] sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband."*(AMP) Sex is not a sin and not shameful when done in an appropriate way. It was instituted and approved for a purpose by God. Also, it should be enjoy between the husband and wife and not painful. Once you are joined in the holy matrimony, you have free access to it, there's no more shame again, it's your right and your portion to fulfill God's purpose. Just as I said yesterday, I will begin to show you the guiding rules of God towards sex: GUIDING RULES BY GOD CONCERNING THE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP IN MARRIAGE: *1) ONLY TO BE EXPERIENCED WITHIN THE BONDS OF MARRIAGE:* Outside of marriage, sex is to be "hands off." Only in the bond of marriage is to be held. It must be honored and loved between couple. In the old testament, God's laws required the death penalty for all sexual perversion, all misuse of sex: (Lev. 18,20) - adulterer, carnal knowledge (nudity), incest, premarital sex, extra marital sex, homosexual acts. Leviticus 20:13; says;*"If a man lies [intimately] with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed a detestable (perverse, unnatural) act; they shall most certainly be put to death; their blood is on them."* Sexual acts with animals is a sin before the Lord Why? Because it destroys families & individuals, & when they think they have freedom to do what they want it simply brings slavery. 1 Cor. 6:9 declared;*"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [by perversion], nor those who participate in homosexuality."*(AMP). God is against such act and has never ordained and establish it in the beginning. To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace. *Prayer point:* I reject every spirit of immorality and homosexual act in my life. I choose to be obedient to your precept in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
