Thank you for addressing such a delicate subject in a very direct and unflinching way. It is a scourge among God's people today and will lead many astray. As you point out - Satan continues to use the same tactics against us. We all need to hear this message as it destroys all who pursue it.
This is an issue I have been dealing with. It is the main sin that keeps me from having favor of God. I have recently come back to the Lord after being a backslider for 23 years he has led me to you through your channel unlearn the lies. I try mostly resist but still fall short, please pray for me Lex. Thank you and may God Almighty bless you and your family.
I too struggle with sexual immorality. masturbation to be specific. porn isn't necessarily the issue for me my mind is just so dirty. I will pray for you and hopefully you can pray for me that we may overcome this.
Lex, thank you for this video. I listen to it multiple times a month to continually remind myself about the subject matter whenever my flesh gets weak. Could you please provide another video to talk about things you skipped in this video? I think a lot of people would be interested in a sequel to the video. Thanks brother - Omid
I appreciate you preaching on these subjects as the majority of Churches wouldn't touch these subjects. By the way, I found you through Unlearn the Lies. Thank you and thank GOD that you talk about these subjects. My children and I watch tv shows from the 50's and 60's as all now are inappropriate, how shameful...
Awesome. Thank The Father for you covering such a tough topic and for answering the call. It needs to be addressed. Now with virtual reality and other technology that is being employed I really feel for our sons.
The Grafted Church I’ve seen your other videos on this topic Lex and I really appreciate them and your heart for this matter that, for the most part, I have only seen mentioned in passing. This topic requires the big guns and this message was definitely one of them.
Thank you Lex. HALLELUYAH.. hey I have a random question. I am finding it hard to incorporate tzit tzits as commanded on all four corners of my clothing - some said I could make holes in everything or wear a belt with my skirts. Is it totally wrong to start off or wear them as bracelets? I would see them better anyway 😮😣sorry
This was such a great message! Do you think we should not feel temptation? In other words that such temptation will go away for ever! Or that we must learn to fight that temptation? In other words, you will be tempted but must learn to control it for the glory of God. Because even Paul said is better to marry than to burn. I believe this is such a big temptation that even the angels fell for it. It says “they saw the daughters of men that they were fair”. I wonder if this is why the devil chose Eve and not Adam, he was probably watching her. But then its like weird, because it wasn’t until their eyes where open that they saw each other and had children. Which God also commanded to fill the earth. But how with out noticing each other? Maybe He was going to show them in another way, maybe watching animals or something but the devil accelerated the process, I don’t know. But how will you enjoy marriage if you don’t have that feeling towards your wife! It makes them feel like you don’t like them anymore if you don’t feel for them in that way. Also if we go to the commandments it talks specifically about not committing adultery and not coveting your neighbors wife. It was specifically to married men to don’t commit adultery. And to single or married men to not desire another man’s woman. But it doesn’t talk about single men desiring single woman. It doesn’t say its wrong to desire, its not until your married and you desire another woman or you desire someone else’s woman that it actually becomes a sin. Im not saying that, this gives an excuse for single men or woman to have intercourses with multiple single men or woman. Because I think, I’m not sure, that having intimacy in those times was considered marriage. Every time they join one another in intimacy the Bible says wife. Like when Sarai, Abram’s wife gave Hagar to be his wife. It was about intimacy to have a baby. It says “and gave her (Hagar) to her husband Abram to be his wife. Paul also says in 1Co 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. So what I’m trying to say is. Is it the temptation that is wrong? or not controlling your self in that moment of temptation? Because its obvious that, such temptation will always be there since the fall of man. Believe it or not. There’s many men and woman that feel that they will never attain the level of spirituality that their pastors have because they feel they should never feel these temptations. Even though they fight it they believe they must never feel it. And therefore they elevate them up there in a position of almost perfect men. Because they believe pastors or godly men or women should never even feel this. Why? because this subject its always preached against but its never taught on how to fight it, because its never accepted to be a normal feeling in the flesh. So the sheep automatically assume that such temptation must not even be felt to be able to call your self a man or woman of God.
My fiance slept with another man...my love for her turned to hate...my heart is broken about this...I had to break up with her...I still can not forgive them...pray for me.
My partner for 10 years now had lusted with other women and cheated verbally only with 2 other women that I knew of. The 1st 4 years of our relationship. I broke it off and moved away. He asked for forgiveness and moved 3 states away from his home to start over. And we seemed to be doing good. 6 years and 3 kids later he finally agreed we get married. So we agreed to confess to each other anything that we kept from the other prior to getting married to each other that we hold heavy in our heart and was ashamed of. Mine was when I was 18 I was in a rough spot in life and found out I was pregnant. My family abandoned me due to a lie that was told so I was told abortion was my only option. To This day I wished I knew how much I know now. This was before I met my current fiance. His confession was that after he moved to the state I moved away to. When we were trying again. The 1st year and a half he had 2 incidents that he physically committed sexual adultery once with a coworker another with a stranger. While he went out with coworkers and I stayed home with my 1st child. As much as it broke my heart hearing this I agreed I wouldn't get angry with him. Because we were doing this in order to trust each other by confessing of our past that was heavy on our hearts before we got married. We have finally gotten so far in our relationship that I finally was able to trust him again from what he did prior to moving closer to me to try again. I forgave him for what he confessed but now I'm hurting again. It's helped me turn to God more because it made me realize ONLY God has been faithful to me as well as all his children. God does not change. But I'm now struggling with self esteem again. Not as much as before but it's there along with the pain. Yah is the only reason why I haven't fallen into a depression. Because I'm trying to trust in him completely in knowing what he has plans for me. I've never surrendered myself to anyone not even GOD. This is my struggle in trusting anyone besides myself and even then I doubt myself. So I'm fighting my pride and stubbornness and letting myself surrender to him. I know he has plans for me and this is his will. If my only purpose in life is to teach my children to be disciples then so be it. At least I feel that was my purpose in being here now. For God blessed me many times and led me here to learning the truth. And even at the worst of times has never forsaken me even when I thought he has forgotten me and abandoned me that time when I made a poor choice that I will forever regret. Could you give me advice on how to heal from the confessions of my fiance? He is a lukewarm Christian but allows me to make my religious choices without mockery. So with this I'm greatful. But knowing that his flesh is easily drawn towards the jezebel scares me that after we marry he will again commit adultery. And it makes me wonder if he has done it recently. Now that he works out of town. But most likely wouldn't tell me because he knows anything recent I will not tolerate because I gave up school and work temperarily to be a stay at home mom for the past 2 years. After we gained a second child then a 3rd right after. 1st time I allowed myself to trust another person to be the sole provider and me rely on them since I was 14 years old. How do I get past the negative thoughts? Someone had told me before that since we weren't and we still are not married, he never committed adultery. Is this true? I know I'm considered a hypocrite for worrying about one thing but I've done the ultimate sin myself... I've repented many times over. So I understand if others say negative comments for the ultimate sin I've done and I worry about our relationship. I'm sorry this was longer then I expected. Thank you if you get the chance to read this long book.
@@TheGraftedChurch Is it true that because we are not technically married by a man of GOD or even legally by state. He didn't technically commit adultery? Regardless the answer I just would like to know if it's considered true?
@@TheGraftedChurch We were until recently. When I started reading the bible for myself. Now we sleep in separate rooms until we can have some premarital counseling done then get married. Especially after I read this. 2Peter 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.
If he works out of town, he maybe meeting someone as sideline. Check his phone and websites and Hidden vault app. Mine did even I’m home. Pray he will change and that God convict his heart.
You need to address what the law says is adultery, you are way off base. Also re look at Matthew 5 in the original language. Adultery is committed against a married woman, not against a single woman. Compare to David, he married 8 women and 10 concubines but only commited adultery with Bathsheba.

Hallelu Yah!
Very good!

I am sure that is difficult. It might help you to forgive her if you remember how much God has forgiven you.
