IT IS NOT SAFE SEX

Loving God! Through the saving grace and power of Christ Jesus, I pray for the spirit of understanding to fall upon this reader, your precious daughter as we share in spirit and in truth over this matter. Give clarity and understanding dear Lord and release courage to do what is right and honouring in Your sight Oh! Righteous God. Cast out every guilt and condemnation. Grant the faith to look up to you for cleansing and renew a right spirit within this life I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Masturbation as you already know is sin. If it were not, the HolySpirit will not be convicting you. You are convicted because it grieves the Spirit in you. You are God's child. You are filled with the HolySpirit. Satan knows this, because Satan can not mess up with you spiritually, hence the attempt to mess up with your body. Doing this gives room for that accuser to have a charge against you and opens you up for moral condemnation and sexual oppression spiritually. You may have started having sex in your dreams already. So who are those strange men having sex with you? They are demons who came in when you opened the door by having sex with yourself.

That manner of sexual satisfaction is not ordained by God. It is Satan’s idea to keep us in rebellion. That's the trick. You are coming out of it in Jesus name. The blood of Jesus is capable of washing you off this sin and be renewed in Spirit.

Masturbation is full sexual act. It is you having sex with yourself. Having sex with oneself is an abomination in the eyes of God. 1Corinthians 6:18 says:
"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."

In the Old Testament, he charged the men not to have sexual discharges except in intercourse with woman. God says if a man discharges outside that, he should be cast out, he becomes unclean. (Leviticus15). In the New Testament He calls it sexual pervasion and that it can rob us of our place in His kingdom. Jude 1:6-8.

Activities that contribute to masturbation include the choice of films you watch, the type of music you listen to and the choice of websites you browse. It also includes the type of magazines/books you read and the type conversations/company you have/keep.

Satan knows well how to keep people in sin. Satan will make you feel it is a safer way out. It is NOT. The end of that road leads to destruction. This act drains you emotionally. Sex by God was designed for pleasure in marriage to be enjoyed by man and wife. I tell you, in a loving marriage relationship, it is great pleasure and an out of this world emotional experience and enjoyment.

Masturbating also drains mentally and psychologically. Placing your mental attitude to assume you are lusting after yourself. It opens the door to the spirit of immorality and its accompanying demons to have a home in you and mess you up emotionally. When the real experience comes after marriage, masturbation may rob you of all that is included in that marriage and eventually wreck that home when your spouse is unable to find satisfaction he is longing to have. Satan comes only to steal, kill and destroy.

Also, while using all your energy to bring your body into full sexual act, you are physically overstretched and this has led many to age very quickly and have also become wrinkled at an earlier age. Satan, the deceiver is also the destroyer. You are Christs’ and hence have become a slave unto righteousness. Sin in every form should no longer have dominion over you. You are no longer under the grip and hold of Satan. Take your liberty in Christ to mature yourself unto good works of righteousness. The Light in Christ will reveal all the works of men, whether evil or good. Whatever is done in secret shall also be revealed on the mountain top. (Matthew 10:26)

You have to be intentional about your Christian life. It is an unpopular road but the safest and the most peaceful when we walk with the Lord in the light of His word. He said, "Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfil the lusts of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16)

When King David in the Bible fell into this secret sin of immorality hear what he said "When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, Then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have secretly set a snare for me.” (Psalm 142:3) When he started to lust after Bathsheba, Satan was quick to lay a snare for him.
That is why Paul said in Galatians 5:25 “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

How do I walk in the Spirit? You know the truth about what God desires of you; allow this truth to free you. 
Don't just sit down and pray that this behaviour should go away, as you pray for grace to overcome, work towards a new and repentant road in Christ. Take decisive action about the choice of films you watch, the type of music you listen to and the choice of websites you browse, the type of magazines you read and the type of conversations you have with your friends.

Whatever habit you are trying to kill, do not feed it! All of the above listed will feed your mind with how to engage in the act. Say No prayerfully and say No physically too. You will see changes as God’s HolySpirit will be by you to help you. 
The HolySpirit is your helper and counsellor. He is always there to remind you when you're going off. Take God at His word and speak to your desires when the emotions are building up again. I did just that. I told myself, I am not doing this today, not any more, flee from me.  Even the spirit behind masturbation is able to hear the word of God and it flees when you apply the Word against it.

What I found helpful was that I started to read the Bible meditatively and Satan fled. I was too busy in the WORD, there was no spare time to indulge or stray in my thoughts. My thoughts were brought to the obedience of Christ.

I hope this speaks volume to you my dear reader. That is why we are sisters in Christ. 

This is also included in the stuffs we should be talking about. That is why the HolySpirit has laid it on me to share this.

Take God at His word and receive your freedom from this day in Jesus name. You shall no longer have sex with yourself and risk the danger of destroying your temple where the Spirit of God dwells.

Masturbation is NOT safe sex. It is sex with yourself. It is sin.

God bless you.
