IMMORALITY BRINGS POVERTY OF LIFE AND SPIRIT

September 8

hildren of God, for those of you who practice sexual immorality of any kind your Father has a word for you. The sooner you get real with God and decide that serving Him from your heart instead of serving the idols of lust and immorality, the sooner you will find the great joy and pleasure of knowing Him on the deepest and most holy levels! Your excuses for practicing these evil and sick behaviors are the very shackles which imprison you and bind you to this blindness and cause you to suffer the starvation of your souls in a Land of Plenty made readily available to all God's children who will change their minds and hearts to walk in love and purity before Him. Not only do you rob yourself of the deep and happy intimacy awaiting you with your Father, but you also bring your own family down to poverty because of your ungodly behavior. You cannot and will not prosper in the Lord emotionally, spiritually or financially if you keep these idols in your household. Teach yourself to hate the deeds of darkness and of the flesh, and deny them access to your mind, soul and body. You truly have the power to resist these things as you submit yourself to the Lord Jesus for the application of His healing, cleansing blood against them. Pray this way: "Father, I have made lame excuses for my sins! I call upon the powerful name of Jesus to come and crush the head of this serpent of ungodly lust and immorality in my life! I burn the ungodly literature (magazines, films, books etc.) which I have used to transmit this evil into my mind. I turn my mind and heart over to the Lord Jesus for cleansing.” (Get someone to pray with you if possible, confess your sins and be healed. Be accountable to others to walk in holiness and to have clean hands and a pure heart)! Beloved this sickness has had such a strong hold on your life for so many years that the Evil One does not want to give up this special evil grip on your life. Ignore him! Run to God and call out to Him and He will hear you now, in Jesus’ name--- shout His name if you need to do so! Get real with God about this evil in your life, and God will get real with you with His deliverance!

Prayer

Father, I can only imagine the feeling of being clean after so many years of serving at the altar of a demonic idol of unholy thoughts and actions in the areas of immorality. I know it is a real world awaiting me through true repentance. I give myself to you to seek your holiness and joy in this matter, in Jesus' name, amen!
