Buranate we are glad that you have taken a step towards being right with God. We thank you for reaching out and understand your struggle. Let's begin and address your prayers.
Standing firm in Christ is crucial in your battle against sexual immorality. It is written in First Corinthians 6:18- the WEB "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
Sexual sin is a sin against your own body, and it is crucial to flee from it. The Word of God does not specify that it is just with the opposite sex. This includes fleeing from homosexuality as well which is immoral and an abomination before God.
Remember Galatians 5:1 the WEB "For freedom, Christ set us free. Therefore stand firm, and do not be entangled with a yoke of bondage".
Christ has set us free so that we may have freedom. Stand firm and do not submit to any form of sexual immorality.
1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB " No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"
God will provide a way of escape for you. Trust in Him, believing, as appropriate for Christians. He will give you the strength to endure and overcome.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, In Jesus' name, we lift up Buranate, who has expressed a sincere desire to be free from sexual immorality. The request is first addressed by fleeing from this sin. By not allowing lust, evil thoughts or wrong relationships to bother this young youth.
We pray that all the scriptures read and discussed are applied to Buranate's life, giving him a way of escape in every situation. We pray that he will stand firm in Christ, putting on the full armor of God to withstand the wiles of the devil.
We ask that You strengthen Buranate's resolve to serve You with purity and dedication. Surround him with godly influences and supportive fellowship, and fill his heart with Your Holy Spirit.
Should Buranate fall, forgive their repented sin. Heavenly Father, may Jesus Christ always mediate on your behalf, so always pray in Jesus Name, being saved and in communication with God the Father. Nowe hear a short explanation on this:
Acts 4:12 " There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" WEB.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. WEB.
This means that Buranate, it is only by the name of Jesus that you are purified and saved. Believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord and that he died for your sins, rising the third day. This is the simple message of the gospel.
This means that saying in Jesus Name, is actually specifying who exactly we are praying to; Heavenly Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This means that without Jesus' divinity, and name we would have no access to the Father; being eternally estranged and condemned. But with Jesus we are saved and have full access.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
We encourage you to stay strong, and if you fall, Confess your sins, fixing your heart and eyes on Jesus.
