I asked GOD what is it you want me to talk about today. Minutes later my spirit said sleeping with the enemy. Had I not remembered a story my sister told me last year I would've been like what does that mean (sleeping with the enemy). My sister friend received a prophecy that she would soon meet her potential husband. But in order to do so she would need to stop sleeping with the enemy. In other words stop fornicating and practice celibacy. Fornication wasn't a word I was all too happy with. Well at least I would avoid bible scriptures that said fornication. That was the old Quiana. The new Quiana is all too proud to admit she is celibate until marriage. LORD knows I been struggling with my flesh. With the power of GOD I am obedient. Scriptures says we have to present ourselves holy and acceptable to the LORD. And besides I know great things are in store for me. GOD promised my celibacy will not be in vain. HE promised HE's going to bless me with a husband who will as well be celibate.
You're sleeping with the enemy if you're unmarried and engaging in sexual acts (boyfriend/girlfriend). You're sleeping with the enemy if you're cheating on your spouse. You're sleeping with the enemy if you are engaged in homosexual acts. You're sleeping with the enemy even if you're sexually involved while engaged because you are still in the premarital stage. Leviticus 18 speaks of forbidden sexual practices. Even lustful thoughts is considered sinning. I Corinthians 6:18~20 says Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT, who lives in you and was given to you by GOD? You do not belong to yourself, for GOD bought you with a high price. So you must honor GOD with your body. I Corinthians 7:1~2 says Now regarding the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a celibate life.
But because there is so much sexual immorality each man should have his own wife and each woman should have her own husband. The whole chapter 7 of I Corinthians speaks of marriage. I'll get back to that another time. Consider what the WORD of GOD is saying. It speaks the truth. It's full of wisdom. Are you sleeping with the enemy or are you living for GOD?
