- The Ten Words of Counsel Regarding Sexual Purity for Single People:
First, do not seek regular sexual gratification through masturbation.
Second, do not seek sexual satisfaction through touching or being touched by another person, even if you stop short of sexual intercourse.
Third, avoid unnecessary sexual stimulation.
Fourth, when the stimulation comes and the desire starts to rise, perform a very conscious act of transfer onto Christ.
Fifth, pray that God would give you, in ever-increasing strength, a longing to know and love and obey him above all else.
Sixth, bathe your mind in God's Word.
Seventh, keep yourself busy, and when it is time for leisure, choose things that are pure, lovely, gracious, excellent, worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8).
Eighth, don't spend too much time alone.
Ninth, strive to think of all people, especially people of the opposite sex, in relation to eternity.
Finally, resolve to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and he will add to you everything you need sexually.
Just turned 19 as this video was playing. Wow.
What a timing for this message. You must keep yourself busy with the word of God. Especially when God free you from sexual indulgence 💕🙏
Perfect timing for me is today🙏
this is a really good teaching and it has really shaped my point of view in a new way
When you know the horrible outcome of fornication and adultery, you won’t do it. The pain that follows is greater than the fun. Trust me I know
Hello I am a 30year old unmarried male and I am struggling with this sin numerous times and I have confessed jesus as lord but I'm scared that I have lost my salvation and cut myself off from Gods Grace and Mercy,it feels like i have slapped God in the face and i feel guilt towards God
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
Philippians 3:12 NKJV
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I John 1:9 NKJV

This sounds too extreme. In my opinion after living 40 years. It's impossible to achieve the God sexuality that he says...
Since being sexually abused since 5 years old and raped in college...I never met a man that I would marry but I've met men who I would sleep with....I am not perverted. I am human. Sexuality is natural. I don't understand all the explanations of tying it to some wonderful thing or extreme philosophical meanings....every mammal sexually reproduce and they're just doing it because they do it...I never could comprehend these kinds of explanations of sex.
Sorry to hear that, may God bless your heart and heal your soul from the trauma you endure. Now as to what you said, it appears you have more worldly views than christian ones. Jesus Himself said that sex is only meant to be enjoyed in, and exclusively, marriage. We are not like the animals, God made us different from them so trying to excuse sin with the argument of "animals do it, so we should too" is very unfortunate to say the least. Now i understand, i have sexual desires myself and fall short to the perfect pure standard that God wants of me, it is extremely difficult to follow every teaching since, well, we're humans. Meaning, we are full of sin and desires that are misplaced and taken out of holy context, its our nature to sin. But we must try throughout our lifes to attain such peace of mind and purity of spirit to the point where we won't feel the need for sex anymore unless we are married. Difficult, but not impossible.
You have a sex addiction problem. It started with the abuse and rape. Very common. Your basically a whore, sorry to put it bluntly. But yes it is possible to not allow sexual desire to rule. Get help! You are destroying your soul
