Dear friends,
if you have been reading my posts for about 3 months or longer, you will know that I have fallen very recently and that I am guilty of sinning in the area of sexual immorality – and I can assure you that I am still suffering the consequences.
So please do not think I am writing this from the pulpit or from a high horse and then sending it out there whilst I am sitting in my ivory tower – I hate when people don’t listen to their own teachings and the only reason I am putting these things out there is not so much because I want to be a teacher or because I think I am a teacher (in fact, in my own opinion, I am way too impatient to be a good teacher!!) but so that some of you, some people reading this, would get free from what they have gotten themselves into.
And there are many ways GOD can get you free.
HE can let you find a deliverance minister (and hopefully a good and real one, because most of the ones I saw and found were NOT working for GOD, but for the enemy!!!), HE can give you a dream, a vision, HE can send you someone to tell you the truth, a friend, a relative, your pastor (again, hopefully you have a pastor who will teach and preach the truth and the REAL gospel because so many out there do NOT) – or HE can lead you to something you will read – which could be this blog – but whatever it is that will be convicting you and deliver you, it is not the person themselves, never the person, but ALWAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT working through that person.
And a person can have THE HOLY SPIRIT in them, in which case you will be delivered and will hear the truth from them – or the spirit of the other one, which will result in this spirit in this person through this person getting you deeper into trouble or into bondage.
What YOUR task is to discern about EVERYTHING and EVERYONE you let into your life, your eyes, your ears and your spirit – and of course, into your body even more!
I cannot stress this enough.
Even if you love my blog, do NOT believe me!
I could be right 100 times and then, I could be deceived and spread lies – or the same goes the other way around:
even if you don’t like me (if you knew me personally) at all and hated my blog (if you had come here and read some of it), it could still be that I am speaking 100% GOD’s truth.
The task you have is to pray for it yourself.
To be in contact and in communion and in communication with HIM yourself.
And ask HIM.
HE is also giving a general rule how to test the spirits – a survival skill if you ask me!:
1 John 4: 1-3
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
So, this is very important and it is a good way to spread the weed from the chaff.
But sometimes, you need to go deeper.
And every man or woman of GOD can be compromised by the enemy – nobody is impeccable – except GOD, but no human being is, that’s why you need your own discernment and your own “direct line” to GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT to teach you and to tell you what is right and wrong, true or a lie or deception.
With that said, I will share with you what I learned about sexual immorality so far and especially since I fell recently.
The beginning of it is in my previous posts and you can read them if you like, I wrote them to help you and to inspire you, but it will not be necessary to read them to understand this post The Law of Affliction The secret about “The Secret”, Hot topics, Divorce from Spirit Husband!, Sleeping with the devil?
So this one is about sexual immorality mainly but not only.
It is about how to get right with GOD again and how to get back with HIM.
And it is even something we need to do with everyone we have sinned against.
Because these are the requirements to make it right again – regardless if we sinned against GOD or against a person, apart from re-dedicating our lives back to them, there is something similar to do, we need to restore and heal the relationship, restore our position in their life, only truth can do that and only with GOD’s help can we heal the relationship!
Lies and sexual cheating are some of the worst things we can do to another person, especially if we are bonded together with them in love and before GOD and pray about it, ask every Christian in the world and mainly, ASK GOD, I am firmly convinced that HE will tell you that there is no restoration and no healing for a marriage without confessions and repentance and sincere and genuine asking for forgiveness from your spouse if you have cheated on them.
And also, what makes sexual immorality even more sinful than other sins is that we not only sin against GOD, but also against the body HE gave us, our temple, in case of fornication,
1 Corinthians 6:18
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
in case of adultery, it is so much worse. Adultery is the one and only reason GOD will allow a divorce for, I think that’s enough to illustrate how serious it is in HIS eyes.
Right. Let’s keep going, bear with me, ok?
Where do these steps back to GOD come from?
I am glad to tell you that they do not come from me, but from GOD HIMSELF.
Thank GOD.
They come from HIS word,
which is by the way the only authority I truly accept in my life.
In a nutshell, the short version:
Acts 3:19
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
And I suggest you do your own studies, this is perhaps the most important subject to study in my opinion…
And if you study it thoroughly, you will find that it also entails to change and turn from your sins. This is where those who preach that you can sin as much as you want and GOD will always forgive you err… yes HE forgives all the time and at the same time, it is HIS expectation that we diligently seek HIM and do what HE says and do our best to obey.
Anyhow, this is all between you and HIM (or in my case, between me and HIM) and I have been seeking HIS face diligently – before AND after I got saved for things which I didn’t even know were sin and then HE revealed it to me, for things which I knew were sinful, but I fell, for lies I was too weak not to tell… for small and for big sins…
If you want to do the same, I have brought you something which I found and liked a lot and I think it can probably be adjusted for every other sin, but it is about sexual immorality and it is meant as an inspiration for you if you are unsure what to pray and how to ask GOD for forgiveness.
I found it in the whatsapp group of this man who’s teachings I discovered and posted in my previous post Sleeping with the devil? Joseph Okechukwu, he has a ministry and when I sent him an email to thank him for his teachings about masturbation and fibroids and cutting soul ties, he replied and invited me to his group on whatsapp.
Before you can join the group, they send you some prayers and even though I really liked the prayers, I did not join the group.
And I will write a whole post about the reasons why – but for now, I will share the prayers with you, but I also wanted to acknowledge where they are coming from and wanted to stress that I did not write them and also want to mention here that I do not recommend joining this group (like I said, the reasons will be in one of the following articles on my blog) even though I think the prayers are very good.
As usual, please discern and pray about them before you speak them – I changed them a little bit, but they were mainly inspired by the prayers he has in his group.
BEFORE PRAYING
1. ALL FORMS OF MARITAL-STYLE COHABITATIONS OR DATING ACTIVITIES THAT WILL NOT LEAD TO MARRIAGE MUST END
2. IF YOU ARE IN A SAME SEX RELATIONSHIP, IT MUST BE DISBANDED AND REPENTANCE SOUGHT
3. IF YOU’RE MARRIED AND YOU STILL HAVE A MISTRESS OR A SECRET MALE LOVER OR TOY BOY SOMEWHERE, PLEASE CALL OFF THE RELATIONSHIP AND SEEK REPENTANCE
4. IF YOU’RE LIVING AS MAN AND WIFE, PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL UNIONS MUST HAVE BEEN LEGALLY CONSUMMATED (BRIDE PRICE PAID, COURT AND OR CHURCH WEDDING DONE/ OR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE DONE)
5. IF YOU ARE A SEX WORKER, A PIMP, A FRAUDSTER (YAHOO YAHOO), YOU MUST RENOUNCE YOUR OCCUPATION AND REPENT FULLY
6. IF YOU ARE AN ALCOHOLIC, A CHAIN SMOKER, OR ADDICTED TO ANY BANNED DRUG OR SUBSTANCE, PLEASE DO NOT PRAY AND SEEK HELP FIRST
7. IF YOU HAVE NOT OFFICIALLY GIVEN YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST, DO THAT FIRST
THERE ARE THREE MAIN CATEGORIES OF “THE VOW”.
WHICHEVER VOW CATEGORY YOU CHOOSE, IT IS RECOMMEDED THAT YOU START WITH THE “DECLARATION OF FAITH”

CATEGORY 1 – SECONDARY SINGLES WITH HISTORY
THESE ARE SINGLES WHO HAVE AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE COMMITTED THE SIN OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY BUT ARE NOW ABSTAINING – WHETHER NEVER MARRIED, ONCE MARRIED OR WIDOWED
Dear GOD,
I have learned from the scriptures that my body and my spirit do not belong to me because you already paid for them with the blood of your only begotten son, JESUS CHRIST.
I am guilty of masterminding the ouster of the HOLY SPIRIT from HIS temple – my body and spirit.
I am guilty of mismanaging your temple.
I am guilty of giving it over to sexual pollution and or other forms of contamination.
I am guilty of turning your beautiful temple of gold into a rotten shrine of dust and carcasses.
I am deeply sorry.
Please forgive me LORD.
I acknowledge that the lights are out in this temple and darkness has reigned supreme for far too long.
By virtue of my will power which I still possess, I bring the reign of death and darkness to an end in this temple with the words of my mouth and with YOUR HELP AND BY YOUR POWER given to me.
And with the words of my mouth I voluntarily invite the HOLY SPIRIT, the true owner of my body and my spirit, to come and take over now, in the name of JESUS CHRIST.
Henceforth, before the heavens and the earth and in the presence of divine witnesses seen and unseen, I proclaim that I will no longer share my body with any man/woman sexually, except within the boundaries of a legally consummated marriage.
I proclaim that I will no longer share my spirit sexually with any spirit man or woman (as in masturbation), so I turn my spirit over to YOU HOLY SPIRIT.
I proclaim that I will not allow to grow within me, an inordinate affection for my fellow man/woman.
I proclaim that I will not allow to grow within me, an inordinate affection for either an animal, a robot, a doll, or any living or man-made thing or any other false god or religion or for any idol.
I proclaim that I will have nothing to do with sexually provocative or explicit materials, whether they are in hard or soft formats.
I commit to destroying and deleting all such materials with immediate effect, wherever they may be found within my immediate environment.
I proclaim that I will not engage in any form of phone sex, sexting, or anything that implies thus; I will be careful to put all former partners in crime on notice.
I proclaim that I will avoid like death, any premarital action that is capable of bringing down my walls of moral fortification like smooching – kissing, caressing, cuddling amorously, etc. before marriage.
I confess and I believe that in accordance with the will of God, sex must be shared not between two consenting adults, but between two legally married adults.
LORD, I understand that a covenant with you is in life and in death.
I proclaim that come rain come shine, my commitment stands and my trust is in YOU.
Hold me accountable for every proclamation that I have made today.
And please help me to stay strong and please restore me back into your kingdom, back as a son or daughter of GOD and back into holiness.
In JESUS’ name I pray.
AMEN.

CATEGORY 3 – VIRGINS
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN SEXUAL INTERCOURSE – COMPRISING FULL SINGLES OR WIDOWS WHO NEVER INDULGED IN IMMORALITY BEFORE MARRIAGE AND WHO HAVE CONTINUED AFTER BECOMING WIDOWS WITHOUT IMMORALITY. COUPLES WHO MARRIED THEMSELVES AS VIRGINS AND HAVE REMAINED FAITHFUL TILL DATE SHOULD PRAY THIS ONE AS WELL
Dear GOD,
I have learned from the scriptures that my body and my spirit do not belong to me because you already paid for them with the blood of your only begotten son, JESUS CHRIST.
I am grateful that you have helped me come this far.

I ask for your mercy as I surrender totally to YOUR will.
And with the words of my mouth I voluntarily invite the HOLY SPIRIT (invite the HOLY SPIRIT afresh), the true owner of my body and my spirit, to come and take over now, in the name of JESUS CHRIST.
Henceforth, before the heavens and the earth and in the presence of divine witnesses seen and unseen, I proclaim wholeheartedly, that I will not share my body with any man/woman sexually, except within the boundaries of a legally consummated marriage.

AMEN.
So, friends, these are the prayers – slightly edited by me, taken out what I consider to be ungodly in them and in the entire group – if you want to read more about that, stay tuned 🙂
I believe this is what we can and need to do to give ourselves totally back to GOD- including our bodies.
And then we must pray for GOD to help us to keep these vows after HE has forgiven us of our sin.
I pray for strength for all of us including me!
And I hope and pray that this will inspire, heal and bless you. And that THE LORD will bless you abundantly in all areas of your life, that HE will keep you and shine HIS face upon you and bring you peace.
In JESUS’ name I pray.
AMEN.
