Lord Jesus, You know and fully understand the society and ungodly environment that I am forced to live in and the constant daily struggles that I face and through this all I try to remain pure. Your word tells me to be holy because You are holy, but I fall short of this every day in my life.

Lord, I also find it hard to be the Salt and Light that I’m called to be because of many temptations, Holy Spirit awaken my spirit to take every thought captive unto Christ and to flee from every ungodly situation that I find myself in, for it’s only by your power that I’m able to cooperate fully with You. Thank you Lord for calling me to be your witness to a lost generation, let them see You shining through my decisions and attitudes as I seek to glorify You with my sexuality and my body. Thank you Lord, Amen

Watching a Lost Culture Die

Generation XXX

 If you can get out of bed each day, switch on tv or radio, perhaps read a newspaper or magazine, travel to work each week without noticing the sexualised advertising, the provocative fashion that everybody is wearing, you either live and work in outer Mongolia as a goat herder or you have become so desensitised that you aren’t effected by your surroundings and environment any more.

– Caving into a sex crazed society –

Satan is described in Ephesians 2 2 as the Prince of the power of the air and because of this, we live in a conductive atmosphere which allows him to control the air waves which influences a lost and ungodly generation with sexual immorality through satellite, TV, films, porn-pop music channels, sleazy literature, provocative advertising, etc. Sexual pressure on teens and young adults is at an all-time high. Their friends and peers are giving into the pressures of a sex crazed society that mocks biblical holiness and sexual purity surrounded by an ungodly culture that accepts and even glorifies casual sex. Today’s teens and single adults are wrestling with sexual decisions that previous generations never had to face. God demands sexual purity, He knows the devastating consequences of sin.  STDs, underage/unwanted pregnancies, abortions, rise in mouth and throat cancer (HPV) in young adults due to oral sex, experimenting with same sex, ungodly soul ties and so on.

The youth of today, don’t have to take the same path as we once had; they don’t have to run the gauntlet of going into the news agents to purchase a dirty mag or asking at the local video store for the blue movie list. In fact they don’t have to leave their bedrooms as it’s all delivered and packaged to the way they want it every perversion available at the click of a button. You have to be 18 to get into a strip club to see a woman peel her clothes off but an 8 yr old can log in to some of the worst, obscene pornography for free where there are no ID checks, bouncers or police raids to put up with.

On top of this, the fashion that girls are now forced into wearing just feel acceptable. What guy can go out now and not be bombarded with navels, cleavages, low cut blouses, tight clothing or miniskirts.  Porn has also hit the high street fashion scene, clothes that years earlier would have been worn by prostitutes, now a generation of young girls have been seduced into cultivating an image that is sexual and sleazy. Jaded and rejected young girls have come to understand the more revealing their clothes, the more they will be noticed and to be honest, less respected. Unfortunately some girls will settle for bad love rather than no love.  If you are starving, bad bread is better than no bread, right?

In this environment we shouldn’t be surprised that promiscuity has risen in younger children, even in the church are women dressing to be attractive or dressing to attract?

Proverbs 27: 7 puts it like this: One who is full loathes honey, but to the one who is hungry everything bitter is sweet.

1 Peter 1v16 Be Holy, for I am Holy.  Is God setting us up here for failure? Think about this, the idea of living a holy life in such an unholy environment can seem like a cruel joke, but it isn’t totally unattainable, God doesn’t set standards that we can’t reach, He knows all about our daily struggles and what we are facing. He hasn’t suddenly gone quiet on this issue or turned His back on us.

 – Pornography the ideal teacher –

Just consider how far our own society has slipped right under our noses through the deception of sexual freedom: Take a moment here to reflect the seriousness of this next statement from Gail Dines and feel how the Holy Spirit impact’s you through it.

“Never before have we brought up a generation of young boys and girls on Hard Core Pornography.”

This is no joke guys. Secular Counsellors, therapists, psychologists are all sitting back in absolute fear because they have also recognised this problem; they know all about the progressive downward spiral of pornography and the destruction that is headed this way. In fact right now we are all living in the biggest social experiment ever and nobody has an answer on how to deal with this spreading epidemic.

Forget about the traditional porno films with the bad story lines and awful acting. This is Gonzo and Scat pornography were women are treated and humiliated worse than animals. This is the hardest, most extreme degrading hardcore pornography available today. This is total body punishing sex and this is the entry level. So if pornography spirals out of control what is the pit that awaits them?

Our young men’s sexuality has been hijacked. Will they understand God’s heart on this matter and what the bible has to say?  Will they be able to give and receive love, treat and view their wives and girlfriends with respect? Through porn they will learn how women should look, how women should act and behave and how women should perform to keep them happy.  Always willing, always available and that women always want sex and that sex has nothing to do with intimacy and relationships and every sexual encounter should end up with a money shot to the face,

It’s not good news for the girls who they are going to date or end up marrying. Because the men of tomorrow are being fed today on a diet of toxic porn, they will probably introduce them to ungodly sex?  They will probably insist that they defile or degrade themselves, be physically, verbally, emotionally and spiritually abused and perform graphic hard-core porn sex instead of the safe, loving, intimate sex that God created for marriage. Which Christian parents can sit back and let this happen and do nothing about it? With the high percentage of Christian men struggling with pornography today, chances are that our daughters could end up living this life in silence, fear or even worse, thinking that it’s totally normal.

– mummy porn –

The internet has become the ideal delivery system while Pornography has become the ideal teacher. That emphasises the absence of communication and openly exploits themes of humiliation promoting rape, child molestation, paedophilia  prostitution, domestic violence, verbal abuse, assault, sexual harassment, sexual violence, voyeurism, bestiality, group sex, oral sex, anal penetration, S&M, urinating, etc as the entire norm. Pornography doesn’t protect women from rape or humiliation, it reinforces the idea that it’s all harmless fun.

Today’s generation has really no history of sex to compare those images to and on top of that only 5% of all sexual encounters in pornography depict “normal” heterosexual intercourse. Pornography teaches guys what to expect in relationship, while on the flip side of pornography there is a booming multi-billion dollar romance industry that is targeting and educating women.

The romance industry (now dubbed mummy porn) is also leading women into an unrealistic, fantasy world bringing about an unrealistic expectation of men that teaches girls what they should be looking for in a relationship. Now younger girls seem to be in their sights with dark paranormal romance novels becoming the next big attraction.  Romance novels out sells all other categories of books almost 2-1. The Pornography industry and romance novels are two poles apart, there can never and will never be any middle ground or compromise, our enemy will make sure of that.

This is the message that the World and the Internet is teaching them right now. If we idly stand by and refuse to educate our kids and neglect to talk to them we, along with the media, society, church (it isn’t doing much to address the problem) pornography, lust, porn-pop culture, we may as well all conspire together to set up the next generation for failure, failure in God, failure in relationships, failure in marriage, failure in morality, failure in holiness, failure in purity, failure to respect the opposite sex.

Porn Talk

Hey Kids let’s talk about Porn!

As a parent I have listened to so many other Christian parents panicking and worrying about how they are going to approach the topic of internet pornography with their kids. When the fact of the matter is that talking to your kids about pornography, masturbation, and sexual immorality shouldn’t be any harder than talking to them about the weather, school work, sport or whatever else arises and here’s why:

– not on my watch –

As parents, we are the ones charged with teaching our children, not the world, the media or even the internet. It’s our responsibility to counter-act the lies and ungodly influences and carry the fight back to the enemy through education and scripture. We are their first line of defence, not the church or an internet filter. If your child was drowning, you wouldn’t wait until Sunday to get the Sunday school teacher to come and rescue them for you. No!  You would jump into that river to pull out your drowning child even if you couldn’t swim.  You wouldn’t encourage them to walk into a burning building either.  So why are we happy to pass the buck and passively sit back and watch as their spirit drowns in a sea of filth and their soul burns in hell? The bible is very clear on how we should bring up our children. Proverbs has every situation on how to train up a child covered, including pornography (Proverbs 6-7).

Unfortunately, because of the society that we live in today, parents are either too busy, too tired, or not capable of teaching their kids right from wrong. The church has done a great job with Sunday schools and has stood in to fill the gap.  However, nowhere in the bible will you see the instruction to pack your kids off to Sunday school/youth fellowship to have them taught by people who aren’t much older than they are, with little or no experience of life.  Training begins at home.

– So where do we begin? –

If you have ever listened to Ken Ham from www.answersingenesis.org, you will know Genesis is the place to start. Here we have Adam & Eve who were in the garden, totally naked and they were not ashamed Gen 2:25. Shortly afterwards everything went pear shaped as sin entered and spoiled it for everyone. So many parents miss this point and jump straight in, feet first, with the “ Don’t be looking at that”,  “Don’t let me catch you watching that filth” with an attitude to match, thumping out a hard disciplined message, rather than explaining God’s ideal plan for sex between a married couple and the respect that comes with it. God created it, the world has abused it, and Christians are embarrassed by it.

The reason we adults struggle with this topic is that we probably struggle with the Lordship of Jesus in this area ourselves. But, hey, don’t be too worried about the responsibility that you have, there’s another source out there that will fill in the missing blanks, correct the myths that they have and give them an education second to none when it comes to sex! The internet. The world and society will win by default because it is always talking about sex and addressing the issue as it sees fit, basically unchecked and unchallenged. What voice has the church in this area?  Sex was created to be enjoyed through marriage, so we are the ambassadors.  We should be the voice of reason not the pornography industry. Unfortunately pornography has done a good job, in fact, a great job in repackaging/re-branding and promoting sex. Pornography now seems to be today’s measuring stick that says what you need to look like, be like, and behave like to be happy, satisfied and fulfilled.  Nearly everything that the world has to offer outside of marriage has become distorted and corrupt.

The first exposure to pornography is 8-10 years for boys and 10-12 for girls, the largest consumer of internet pornography is the 12-17 year olds. The adult industry says that children make up to 30% of all internet porn traffic, so the earlier you start the Porn Talk the better. Kids have nothing to learn about the internet, most of them are actually teaching their parents.  If it can be searched on-line they’ve probably been there already and are wearing the tee-shirt, you know the one with the bunny print that says” I got this free with my two hundredth download”. Its going to take more than crossing your fingers and wishful thinking to get your children through today’s sex-crazed society.

You are the parent, you will know when your child will be ready to hear this out, but remember, there should be a united front in the home from both parents explaining this talk, so they get to hear an even balance and hopefully feel free to speak to either parent at later dates.  Please use and share the following template to talk to your kids. Expand on this Porn Talk essay and make it as personal as you need to best suit your situation.

– Parents it’s your turn, here it goes! –

“What I’m about to speak about, I would like you to listen to very carefully.  I don’t want to see you make wrong mistakes, your best interests are my only concern. I hope this will save you so much trouble later. We are living in an ungodly environment where everything that God made good has been spoiled and defiled. God’s perfect gift of sex between husband and wife has been made cheap and dirty. Pornography, music videos, advertising, films and everything sexual seems to be the tactic that the enemy is using to lead people astray from God’s best.  Pornography is now everywhere and I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your attention. This is an industry that is fuelled on greed, broken lives, trafficking, wickedness and brutality against women. It’s an industry that thrives on never satisfying the customer and will lead you on a road to ruin. Pornography will appeal to you like nothing else, promising untold pleasures, those seeking to fulfil your every desire – but I need to warn you about the hidden danger that it covers over.

These people aren’t having fun, the sex they portray isn’t safe, and the lives they live aren’t cool. Sure, they look good, but money can buy any look you want. If the girls involved knew what true joy was, they wouldn’t be selling their bodies for it. I want nothing more for you than to live and enjoy a life that is free from all slavery, but the sad fact is that pornography is a trap – it’s a form of bondage, on a power equal to drugs.(see Satan’s bait for a more complete list) Pornography is created for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to implant into your mind ungodly imagines/scenarios thoughts of perverted sex that will encourage you to defile the marriage bed, your spouse and yourself in front of God. That, in fact you have secretly introduced Baal-Peor/Satan worship into the bedroom and turned a safe sanctuary into a demonic shrine.

There are so many men and women caught up in it’s trap and they have no idea who they are worshiping and can’t seem to break free.  Pornography plays with the mind so much that you’ll have no rest from it. Your mind will be tormented day and night, every woman that you meet will leave you with a distorted view, and every situation will lead your mind into an ungodly scenario because that’s how it works. It wants to own you, to control how you think and act, it takes the innocence that God created and completely destroys it. The thing that nobody tells you about pornography is when it gets in there, it drives you, controls you and prompts you to go further than you were prepared to go.

In effect, you have surrendered your free will to this monster. Think of pornography as a hunger that is never satisfied, once it rises up there is no rest until it’s fed and it doesn’t care about the hurt and ruin it leaves behind as it ransacks for more. Men and women in pornography are out to seduce you, want you to believe that all they want and need is you, but really all they want is a job to supply their next fix.  A lot of the girls in pornography are addicts – that’s what helps them to get through what they do. Porn, stripping, dancing, modelling is simply paying the bills.  Your money and passive support is keeping this industry fuelled and these girls in chains. So please think carefully about what I have told you and don’t allow yourself to be drawn into this trap”.

  1. Once you have the Talk, follow up and keep the conversation fresh with offers of encouragement and support.  Neverlet the fire go out on this topic.
  2. Reassure them that you are always there to talk anytime they want.
  3. Offer to be an accountability partner, make a date once a week, and give encouragement daily.
  4. Don’t be embarrassed to pray with them and get them to pray for you as well.
  5. Open up to your own struggles – let them know that you are real and this was an issue for you too.
  6. Internet Pornography is so aggressive that we can no longer trust anyone, anything, or any site.  We need to step up to the mark and do this for the next generation.
  7. Be a support partner to other nervous parents.
  8. Offer to help out single parents with kids of the opposite sex.

This is our watch, our time, our kids, our generation, we must leave this society a better place for the next generation. click here for Porn Talk prayer

Do Not Take Revenge

BEAUTY FOR ASHES – HELP FOR A HURTING WIFE

 

DAY 17 – Don’t Take Revenge, Give it to God

 

ROMANS 12:19 – Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay”, says the Lord.

Revenge is a Natural Instinct

It ‘s easy to want to seek revenge on our husbands when they hurt us.  We want to take things into our own hands and get even.  It’s a natural instinct.  I was very angry that my husband seemed so happy when meantime, I was full of hurt and pain.  Consequently, resentment and bitterness began to well up inside of me and I wanted him to pay.  I became depressed and run down. It was only as I began to focus on what God wanted me to do, and ask for His supernatural strength to help me, that I was able to let go. I no longer wished vengeance on my husband, instead I wanted to see him blessed.  Vengeance is God’s, He knows your struggles. He will take care of those who do us harm or who do Him harm.  You are His little girl, and He does not want to see you hurt or mistreated, He loves you too much.

 

prayer for helpRevenge is a Sign of Unforgiveness

When we seek revenge, it is an obvious sign we have unforgiveness in our hearts.  Learning how to forgive others is one of the most unnatural things to do and goes against our human nature. Forgiving is a supernatural act that Jesus Christ was always capable of, He forgave tax collectors and prostitutes, and forgave his best friend Peter, for betraying him. Even on the cross, he forgave the people who killed him.

When we are hurt by someone, we want to hold a grudge and we want justice. Praise God, when we learn to forgive our husbands, and allow God to take all our burdens and to take control of all our circumstances, we will no longer feel the need for retaliation.

 

You Need to Know Your Identity in Christ

When we seek the approval of others, especially those closest to us, we get hurt if they reject us, or sin against us,  By taking our eyes off God and who we are in Him and putting them on the conditional acceptance of our husbands, we set ourselves up to be hurt. We forget that other people are not capable of unconditional love.

Our self-esteem can be feeble and fragile, especially when we have been wounded and hurt.  All it takes is for our husbands to disapprove of something we’ve done, or even us thinking he disapproves, and it knocks us off our feet. These attacks bother us because we forget who we really are. Don’t allow the devil to intimidate you or to take away your identity or your life.

 

We Shouldn’t Gloat When Bad Things Happen to Those Who Hurt Us

We shouldn’t be happy If something bad happens to our husbands.  I remember at times if my husband had done something to hurt me in the past, and then afterwards maybe he banged his thumb with the hammer for example, I would think ” Ha ha, he deserved that!” but Proverbs 24:17-18 says “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him.”  We are told to pray blessings on those who hurt us.  We are to show kindness and love. We are not to wish punishment for their injustice against us.  Offences will come, not only from our own husbands, but also from others, even other believers.  Unfortunately, we live in an ungodly world.

At the cross, our sweet and precious Saviour, the spotless lamb, was “wounded for our offences.”  He did no wrong, yet He took them all on His body, on the tree, so that we could be free from offence, shame, guilt and so much more. He has already won the victory for us.  We just need to rest in Him and trust Him to sort everything out for us.

You Are a Princess!

As believers, we are forgiven daughters of God.  He lovingly chose us and adopted us into His royal family as princesses! Our true worth comes from our relationship to Him, not from our appearance, what we do or say or even who our husbands say we are.

When we remember that truth, it makes it so much easier to fight off those fiery darts of criticism and negative words which the devil will throw at us through others.

No one Knows the Human Heart Like Jesus.

God sees

Jesus knows what’s in your heart better than you know yourself, He knows, too, what’s in your husband’s heart. He knows the reason we do some of the things we do. He knows every stronghold, and every weakness.  He knows every kind thought, but also every ungodly thought.  The good news is that He came to set the captives free through His death on the cross.  Allow Jesus to fix your broken heart and also release your husband to Him and allow Him to do what needs to be done, He is the only one who knows exactly what’s going on inside.

Revenge should be left in God’s hands. Proverbs 20:22 also talks about revenge, “Do not say, I’’ll pay you back for this wrong!’ Wait for the Lord, and He will deliver you.”

It may seem just too hard to hand it all over, but with the supernatural help of the Holy Spirit, all things are possible.

 

What Should You Do with Injustice Then?

The first and most important thing we should do when we feel we have been wronged, is to go into God’s court of justice, to commit your case to Christ, Who is your Advocate and your Counsellor – the best One you could ever have!  He will make room for whatever has happened to pass by and escape so that negative feelings will not gain a stronghold on your mind, such as self-pity, unforgiveness, anger, bitterness or revenge. He will avenge you of your adversary, and will compensate your wrong.

Rest calmly on His breast amongst all the criticisms, accusations or cruel words which may come your way.  He is your shelter and He is your fortress and He loves you like no-one else. He has promised to keep you safe from all those things the world will throw at you, from the words which may be spoken over you:

 “Oh, how great is Your goodness, what You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have wrought for those who trust in You before the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret of Your presence from the pride of man–You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord for He has showed me His marvellous kindness in a strong city.”  Psalm 31:19-21
