Soliciting for Free

When God gave me this title for my next blog, I was taken aback. A lot of people look down on hookers, prostitutes and strippers  but what they fail to look at is the men and women who are freely giving their bodies to others who did not pay the price for them.

The definition of a prostitute is a person who willingly uses his or her talent or ability in a base and unworthy way, usually for money. This definition caught my attention because the latter of the sentence says “usually for money” which means that services are not always given for money.

Ladies and Gents, we must realize that prostitution is not limited to giving your body in return for money. We call out those who make a profession out of it cheap and worthless but we are giving ourselves away willingly and freely.

In parts of the world there are many who do not have a choice but to sell themselves but here we call it “I own my body” or “I choose who I have sex with” or “It’s just sex”.

No!

You are soliciting yourself for free and marketing your brand for nothing but a 5 minute thrill. Sex has never been just sex. It is an intimate form of relation between a man and a woman that is reserved strictly for marriage and when sex is introduced outside of marriage it causes a WHOLE bunch of problems.

In 1 Corinthians 6 Paul writes to the church of Corinth and warns them to “shun immorality and sexual looseness” (verse 18) but it is verses 19 and 20 that are the most powerful and makes verse 18 stick.

“Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.” ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

We are not our own beloved. When you decide that you love this person think of your Father. You were purchased for a price that he/she did not pay for and that price is marriage. That is the price for you in which the person comes into convent before God and says that they promise to uphold you to God’s standards, he/she promises to do everything within them to bring you closer to Christ and not away from Christ, they promise to love you with the love of Christ and cover you in prayer and intercede on your behalf.

Don’t you want that? Yes!

Don’t you deserve that? Yes!

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done because Christ has redeemed us all and gives us a fresh start.

When sex was created it was never “just sex”. Yes it is enjoyable but only within the perimeters of marriage. Sex is created to bind the husband to the wife and the wife to the husband and to create godly offspring. This world has perverted God’s creation of sex into just something you do because it feels good and its fun. There are countless books, websites, magazines, and stores that will show you how to please your man or woman but what do you need any of that for? When you’re married you shouldn't need all the extra stuff to help you, you better pray about it and ask the Holy Spirit how to please your husband or wife.

God placed this on my heart because are so many that look at sex as just sex when it’s not. I was one of those who did not know the value in my virginity and thought of sex and just an act when you’re ready and that there is such a thing a safe sex. (News Flash: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SAFE SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE)  Yes I knew your virginity was a gift but I did not fully understand the why.

If you've made that decision as I did, it is never too late to stop. You can always recommit yourself to Christ and say NO MORE to that carnal nature. That is a lie of the enemy that you can’t stop. Yes you can and by the blood of Jesus you will.

For those who have not yet made that decision, don’t. There are so many others who are in the fight with you and haven’t crossed that line. It will be so worth it when you go to the alter and stand before God and know that no one else will have had you but your spouse. (This is not the time for you to feel condemned for those who have already given yourself away read Romans 8:1)

I pray that you receive freedom in this post whether you are struggling with masturbation, pornography, homosexuality, or sexual impurity. I plea the blood of Jesus over you and that a seed of life has been planted in your bosom and that your mind will begin to change because the seed has fallen on good ground.

You are God's workmanship. (Ephesians 2:10) Begin to walk in that. 

Peace and Blessings to you!
