Hi, Celibacy- God bless you and God bless you for your willingness to share and desire to be pleasing to Him. I have a close friend who has shared with that she's not struggled with having sexual intercourse with other people but she has experienced the strong, reoccuring desire to masterbate. At first, she just thought it was my 'justifiable" "normal desire". But she learned it has it's proper place, which is in the marrirage relationship. The Lord showed her, it was actually a sensual spirit. Yes! Amazingly, it is not simply the idea of a spirit, but it is/was a real spirit. It piggy backs on our legitimate desires, but also our sinful nature. It is unclean and once it has entered in through our sin of premiscuousness or masturbation or even the occurance of rape, it is stubborn and does not want to go, and it is not your friend. It want's to wreck havoc of your life...physically, mentally and emotionally. Having sexual intercourse with others creates a soul tie. In order to be free, you must renounce it, and plead the blood of Jesus over your body and soul. If you don't 'cut those ties", that spirit will continue to have a legal right to tempt and torment you and you will contnue to have difficulty overcoming it. You have to truly want to be disconnected from it. I recommend that you spend time in prayer being sure to repent, renounce, apply the Blood of Jesus being sure to embrace His unconditional forgiveness. He loves you so much!
Thankyou Father, I enter into Your courts with Praise and Thanksgiving Lord...thank you for this woman of God, who desires to do Your will Lord. You do not condemn her, but rather you have set her free from every bondage, habit, addiction, and sin she could commit, you love her so much. Father God , I ask that You would speak to my sister, reassure her of Your tremendous, tremendous love for her. I ask Lord, that whatever earthly relationships she may have had that have failed her, that you restore her trust in You and that she will know You are nothing like those people who may have hurt her or let her down. Healing Lord....send Your healing....to my sister. Where her earthly father was not there for her, show her what an incredible Father you are!!! Hallelujah! Restore her heart, her mind, Father. You are able to keep her from falling...as she leans and depends on You. Give her grace to do so, for Victory in You is so sweet! Thank you Lord.
I now come against any sensual spirit that has entered into her mind and body by the way of sin's open door, I come against you right now in the name of Jesus, and I plead the blood!! Get your hands off of this child of God! Jesus has defeated you at the cross! It is no longer she who lives, but CHRIST within her. I stand in the gap now for this woman of
God and I speak VICTORY in the name of Jesus. Be loosed, in the Name of Jesus. Hallelujah!
As you renounce your agreement with this sin, you will be free and you will be able to walk in that freedom and in obedience! You won't regret it (wink) God Bless you!
