"Be Sanctified"
(Sexual Purity)


3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a] in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b] The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.


We must condition ouselves like an athlete conditions his body. We must condition ourselves to avoid sexual immorality. We must learn to master this part of our lives.


I will know what my weaknesses are in this area and expect that I will be tested in this area. I will be conscious of the devil and when he tries to lie to and tempt me. I shall rebuke him in the name of Jesus, and give he sin over to God. I shal bathe in the light of the spirit of God and through prayer resist the devil's temptations.


My Father please help me to address this area of my life. Help me to condition myself and help me to master my weaknesses. Amen.
