This message is so important. As someone who has chased sex and been a lukewarm Christian I can say firsthand that it only leads to loneliness and destruction.
Developing an appetite for sex outside of marriage. "Its a different thing therefore sex inside marriage doesn't satisfy it" something really profoundly true and simple about that.
If you're reading this, please do me this kindess, pray for me, and my desire to heal from the sexual trauma I've put my mind through. I want so badly to be a Godly man. Lord permitting a faithful husband.
Jesse Mott (9/8/20) just prayed for you man! Hang in there! Keep fighting the good fight, and seek God’s kingdom first and His righteousness!! (Easier said than done, I know, but still worth it)
Jesse, I love your comment so much! God loves your heart for Him and your desire to be a faithful husband! Lean hard on Him and let all else go; all things are possible with Him!
If you want to prevent yourself from falling in love with an unbeliever, don’t hangout with them because it will be hard to leave once you catch feelings!!!
He's right about one thing (if ya disagree with the msg as a whole) we as a society are getting worse at relationships....if a shift doesn't happen soon, folks will not know basic principles of living...between being bogged down with crazy debt & attached to phones, real life is being pushed out
Many people profess to be God loving, fearing and may even be church going people. The guys I've dated, and I mean JUST DINNER (not what the world means by 'dating'), on all other levels they want to 'show' they're on the right path, Except for sexual immorality. That's their one (that you can see at first) 'exception' in their eyes. That's wickedness. God is my Guy now, until I find the One I'm meant to be with. This is really like fighting a mudslide and climbing the hill at the same time. You seem to make little ground, but seeds are being planted (Godly seeds) and the fruit there of will be a beautiful thing. God bless y'all!!
Um, wait a second, brother. I find it difficult to agree with the answer about whether or not I should date a woman I'm not physically attracted to, though she's in God's Word and full of the spirit. I'm in God's Word and full of the spirit, too. The given response is that "you shouldn't date her because you're not spiritually mature enough to date her." Please help me understand. I'm not trying to be rude. My thought is that, though physical attraction isn't everything, it is important. After all, even as a pastor, I'm sure (if Jonathan is reading this) that YOU, Jonathan, were physically attracted to YOUR wife when you dated her, correct? If not, I mean no offense. But, please help me understand how such a blanket statement can be applied to all Christian men who are seeking a wife and struggle with this question when most (if not all) of us wouldn't be here if our parents weren't attracted to one another. As I said above, I'm in God's Word and Presence, seeking His Face, and I'm full of the Spirit, too. If a woman isn't physically attracted to me, I can't fault her for that, and I can't call her spiritually immature (or vice versa). Please get back to me, bro. I'm not trying to pick an argument or fight. I look forward to your response. Bryan
+B Pierre , Thanks for your comment. The "bullseye" would be that you are attracted to what God is attracted to. Pornography, TV, media in general, and many other things have turned our hearts to be attracted to things that don't matter to God. So, if a woman is deeply abiding with Jesus, yielded to His Spirit, and committed to His word and we're not at all attracted to her- we should at least wonder why. Moreover, if we're attracted to a lesser committed Christ follower who is more physically attractive, that should cause us some concern. Here is a blog I wrote that addresses this: www.theporchdallas.com/how-important-is-physical-attraction/
+Jonathan Pokluda THANKS FOR THAT! Now that I understand, I'm in TOTAL agreement with that, seeing as how most of us have allowed ourselves to conform to what the world presents and says we should pursue and have. About to read your blog, now. Again, many thanks, and look forward to visiting you guys in the near future. Bryan
thanks cause I noticed I'm attracted to the bad naughty guys.I was just tired of fake Christian men who ask you out then want to touch you and have phone sex cause they say it's harmless. so I decided that if I'm dating a bad guy he must really be bad not a pretender at church that's worse than one who isn't born again I think. But now I have come to believe that I should stay in church maybe I'll meet a real Christian not a wil in sheeps clothing. not a venomous snake.one day I will.one day
@B Pierre thank you for being vulnerable and humble in seeking your answer. So appreciated as it has brought further clarity for others as well. God Bless and Thank you Jonathan for the message.
I disagree with what he says. A marriage is a sexual relationship and if you don’t find them attractive you’ll be turned off from them sexually. Sorry - you can love them but physical attraction had to be present. Sometimes people will grow on you and you’ll be physically attracted which is great - If that happens you’ll want to date them. As long as you don’t want to kiss them forget it.
I love these videos they’re very helpful I just don’t understand how they go from whispering to screaming I listen to this on headphones so I had to turn it all the way up to hear it when they wanna get quiet then I have to immediately turn it back down when they start screaming the next sentence. No complaint just how can I solve this problem
I love what you said about the appetite for sex outside of marriage. My gf and I have done sexual stuff, but she and I feel guilty and we decided to stop but please pray that we listen to the holy spirit. Its weird because I dont think of her sexually very much at all especially when we are at our own houses. I am really thinking about popping the question. So please pray for that as well. I really love these sermons.
@@CarlosC77 I am, I start having anxiety as soon at the relationship starts to a point where I question whether I’m attracted to this girl. Just a never ending cycle
Maybe there isn't a direct commandment against it, but surely it is still seen as sinful in the old testament. For example in Deuteronomy 23 says that there shouldn't be prostitutes among Israel nor the salary of a prostitute be given to the temple.
This message is so important. As someone who has chased sex and been a lukewarm Christian I can say firsthand that it only leads to loneliness and destruction.
I’ve definitely been down that road before brother. I agree! Jesus is the ONLY way 🙏🏼🕊❤️!
He teaching, He preaching, He's REAL, RAW that's the WORD!!! Thank you Father in Heaven!!!!

Thank you very much i learned so much from this- God bless
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Also JP is so great toooo. :)
Wonderful messages! I so enjoy these teachings. Praise our living savior for using you to deliver them. Awesome for both adults & young ones!
a person with an addiction for variety can never be happy with one person. scary.
sexual immorality can't be stopped easily
I love Pastor Pokluda! he’s so funny 😂
I can’t wait to one day visit here I been feeling as if God is calling me to Texas
Great teaching thank you.
Great sermon

Great sermon but you quoted Proverbs wrong. It says “He that spareth his rod HATETH his son: but he that love the him chasteneth him betimes.”

When I met this women a year ago that was the last time I ever watched porn and I have not missed it at all.
How do I fall in love of have feelings. I'm 30 years old and I just can't seem to like anyone...
First of all, define love. My view on that was SOOO out of line with what God says about love.
@@CarlosC77 I believe it’s a choice but no matter how hard I stick to a decision I get major anxiety and back out
@@TheCondescendingRedditor What are you attracted to? Are you afraid of being in a relationship?
@@CarlosC77 I am, I start having anxiety as soon at the relationship starts to a point where I question whether I’m attracted to this girl. Just a never ending cycle

The comment about incest in Arkansas... really? What a hateful thing to say.
Arkansas is one of the places that's commonly jokes about being inbred. I'm Canadian and that's what I hear from americans all the time
You nitpick the context, look at the bigger message of the seriousness of our lives.
I think he realized It wasn't the best thing to say after he said it
10 mins in. This hasn't started 🙂. Please, get to the point sir 😅.
Visiting a prostitute was NOT a sin in the old covenant. Stop making up sins that do not exist.
Regardless, it definitely is right now
saffylew It is a sin for Christian men but not for Sampson. This man is guilty of adding to the law
@@JonathanSaxon it is a sin for everybody. Nowhere does it say “go sleep with prostitutes and enjoy it”.
It most certainly was... what are you reading? Oh, you're just making up stuff.
Maybe there isn't a direct commandment against it, but surely it is still seen as sinful in the old testament. For example in Deuteronomy 23 says that there shouldn't be prostitutes among Israel nor the salary of a prostitute be given to the temple.
