Single Living

Selfconfidence~~Stay pure and clean! IT will make you feel so very good about you!

CHASTITY~~ Though you sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. Isaiah 1:18

Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure
heart.~~2 Timothy 2:22

The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation.~~2 Peter 2:9-10

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with
their mocking, following their own lusts.~~2 Peter 3:3

For a time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.
~~2 Timothy 4:3-4

For by these he has granted to us HIS precious and magnificent promises.~~2 Peter 1:4

Rich and temptation.~~1 Timothy 6:9

But the things that proceed out of the mouth,~~Matthew 15:18-19

But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed.~~James 1:14

Chastity Is: A special help from God that enables me to recognize my sexuality as beautiful and good. Respect my sexuality and my fertility and control my sexual powers, control my sexual thoughts and desires. Live my gift of exuality the way God inteneded. Save the gift of myself for marriage love and resect my spouse. ~~Chastity Calls.org

Chastity Is: A gift from God for every person in every state of life. A powerful virture. A foundation for real intimacy. Pure of mind and body. Protection of my dignity as a human person. Freedom to love.~~Chastitycall.org

Yes this is from the Diocese of Memphis...........I pray all churches will stand for Chastity!

Chastity Is: Sexual goodness. Sexual self-control. Never using another person. Good for me. Good for my soul. Good for the people I love. Pleasing to GOD.

Is there something I should abandon so that we can have a closer relationship
with God? {Philippians 3:8-10}

IF WE SEEK GOD, WE WILL FIND HIM.

Spending time with GOD leads to intimacy....Psalm 1:2

God wants us to have a clean heart and pur motives......Matthew 5:8

I have been saying for years.......Don't make a permanant decision in a temporary situation.
That fast decision can change your course for life.

Leave the door of your heart open to God.

If you don't want the memories of bad things, don't make unGodly decisions.

Our words can change our outlook..."I have a bright future, good things are in store for me.
I will beat the odds....with Jesus".

GOD can't tolerate sin, and he expects us to stand against it. The world needs Christians who will stand for JESUS truth and to point people toward "right living"......Revelation 2:10

When we take part in an activity that we know is wrong, we may make excuses to justify our behavior--saying it isn't as bad as it seems, or that it won't hurt our faith. JESUS CHRIST has strong words for those who look for excuses to sin. If anyone is facing difficult problems, remember, that the power available to John and the Early Church, is also available to us..........
~~1 John 4:4

Victory is sure for those who resist temptation and make loyalty to Christ their top
priority!

Both in church and our individual lives, we must constantly fight against the temptation to
become loveless, immoral, lenient, comprising, lifeless, or casual about our faith.

When we attempt to control our lives and disregard God, we set a course that leads
directly to hell........Revelation 1:17-18

Relationships~~you either contribute or contaminate a relationship. You need to take another look at where your relationship with your mate is going. Your a carrier if you bring in your past. We all come with a history.....but remember JESUS forgives our past and we are white as snow and pure.

Chaste: Pure in thought and act. Innocent of unlawful sexual intercourse.
Purity in conduct and intention. Remember we are too weak to do the kind of business
that only GOD can do!

People that keep bringing things up are needing reassurance.

God's design for single living~~Romans 12

God is concerned about single women and men. If you are single, look up Isaiah 54:1-8; Jeremiah 49:11; and Hosea 14:3, and let your heart rejoice that God is looking out for you!

STOP Do not settle for less than what you want...in a relationship while you are dating. Psalm 37:4 is the Desires for your heart. Dream big in your life. Make a list of what you want in your future mate and pray for God's will in your life. Pray before you make your list for Jesus to show you what you need in a mate, REMEMBER it can take you months to complete your list.

You want the will of God in your relationship. Do not be with anyone that is not following JESUS CHRIST full time. You need a full-time Christian. You can always tell by what they say and mostly what they do............keep your guard up......and never think you can change them.......I know there are times when a woman or man has married and the spouse was saved........many times they are not and they will take you from God. You don't think they will but they can and do. Don't date someone and expect them to change who they are the longer they are with you. Take them for what they are from dating and know that is the way its going to be...........don't put yourself in a situation that is going to tempt you sexually. More on sexual sin later! STAY PURE! Once you are saved you are a new Creation in JESUS CHRIST........you are white as snow..........don't keep on doing the sins you were doing before you surrendered to Jesus Christ.

Fully surrender to Jesus knowing that you will never be able to take on life with out our Lord and Savior. Lose your pride and bow to Jesus giving him full authority over your life. He will give you more great things than you could ever understand. Be patient James 5:8.

God only approves of sex between a husband and wife. This is the only sexual relations God approves of.~~Hebrews 13:4
God does not want to rob of us of sexual pleasure, he created it, but he wants to protect us of all the consequences sex before marriage brings. God loves us! And the bondage that you receive from this sin....is unbearable.

Grieving the Holy Spirit~~Eph. 4:30. Anyone who has made the mistake of having sex outside marriage can be forgiven......I believe you then stop the sin and live the life Jesus requires so you can have a place in Eternity. Even if the mistakes result in pregnancy and illegitimate birth~~1 John 1:9.

Marriage and sex~bring your troubles to God~~Cornith. 7:3-5

I am going to be writing a lot about sexual sin. I want all to know that you can be PURE again. Some people call this virgin #2.......that is not for me........I prefer to say CLEANSED AND PURE. No matter how long you have been having sex outside of marriage, no matter how many partners you have had............repent and live for Jesus. To me, being pure again is the most wonderful feeling. No matter what your age.....you can be PURE again. Purity......the way to live being single. I will also be talking about choosing the right partner. More to come!
