you understand you need to hear the
spirit the Word of God doesn't tell you
how the spirit does are you with me
so when it comes to sexual temptation
all right let me bring this to a close
the only way to get out of it the
prompting and you know the general
guideline for sexual temptation
God says flee fornication flee sexual
immorality flee you must flee run like
Joseph Joseph fled from Potiphar's wife
you know this guy potty he has he is a
high-ranking officer of Pharaoh all
right now potty can have any woman he
wants right he's the right I mean he is
the butler for four I mean high nobility
I don't need a butler but he's some
people believe he's a butler or a chief
Butler okay who was also the one that
controlled the other Butler's but the
thing is this all right he was a
high-ranking official he has all the
women he wants for his harem but his
wife he would choose the very best
and she was probably beautiful and
that's why when she tried to seduce
Joseph Joseph Wren
there was no Commandments because Joseph
lived before the commandments but Joseph
knew how to face sexual temptations this
is one temptation you don't stand there
and say come luck huh come along you
know I'm gonna fight her come on man
in Jesus name no no no God says don't
don't even use the name you know run
flee
you know what flee means not flee means
like you know you are driving alone and
you meet an old friend all right it's
quite attractive person that you've been
attracted to last time whatever you say
can you give me a lift is it annoying I
found because testimony you know people
see me and you were not you know what
you understand what right get some money
for your taxi you understand amen
flee flee you understand like in my case
I don't counsel the opposite sex and
because I don't I can tell all my
pastors don't counsel the opposite sex
our church has has invested heavily in
the training of female counselors one of
which has become a pasta all right and
these ladies are trained by me
all right the guidelines are set by me
and they counsel the ladies of our
church because problems start with good
intentions but the promise that you're
not fleeing
are you with me flee sexual immorality
everything that a man does is outside
the body but he will commit sexual
immorality sin against his own body okay
there is something unique about sexual
sin it affects your body okay don't ask
me to explain this because I don't fully
can tell what is their consequence
because the Bible doesn't tell you it
just tells you this sin will affect your
body every other sin won't
is it your health is it you know you
will age so much faster I do not know
but one thing though I do know you will
affect your body okay are you with me so
when it comes to sexual temptation flee
I remember some years ago all right I
noticed one of the counselors in our
church one of leaders in our church you
know he was he was very popular and
ladies were coming to him and asking for
counseling and all that and so I went to
the wife I felt the wife is a better
person to talk to and I thought the wife
watch him all right and we don't allow
you know as a whole we don't make a law
but as a general whole you know rule we
don't allow guys to you know be the one
to but sometimes situation is such we
are flexible by say that keep an eye on
your husband she look at me says you
know pasta I trust my husband I'm so
stupid I know say you know I trust my
husband I say you know something I don't
want my wife to trust me in this area
why because I'm red blooded I'm a man
I'm a red-blooded man I don't want my
wife to trust me in this area no no no
no woman don't trust me in this area
maintain me
amen amen she needs to take care of me
in this area amen
you know why because everything starts
innocently a little flirtation a little
attraction all right the guy I really
want to counsel the girl all right but
the forces of attraction is very strong
the best thing is that don't trust
yourself in this area
all right put no confidence in the flesh
there's this cycle you need to
understand why people fall into sin we
learn the demands and all it was like
this the cycle first of all temptation
comes all right
temptation can come as a taught
something you saw something you remember
it's first a temptation then before I
become sin all right this always happens
before I become sin maybe within
temptation then sin temptation then sin
no there is an in between and the in
between is this confidence in the flesh
the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3
we put no confidence in the flesh we
must not trust in this area amen
for example you tell your boy your
computer is outside the room let's say
for example nowadays they can access to
your phone as well you know that so the
thing is that this is one step okay the
boy says you don't trust me that all
right
see I trust you I just don't trust your
flesh that's a smart dad because I don't
trust my own flesh that that can say
Amen we don't trust your flesh okay you
are safe but the moment you say I can
handle this no I can watch this show not
no problem I can handle this and you may
mean it but you're putting confidence in
the flesh
are you listening and your flesh will
always bring you to the dark side okay
so it weighs like I can handle this
you know what it's getting late and
attractive girl like her should not be
going back alone in a cab I think I'll
send her back all right
innocent I can handle this the reason
I'm talking about this area of sending
someone home is because I handle a case
like this thank God you know in our
church we hardly handle this kind of
case so much so if something happens all
the leaders know about it you know among
the leaders for example very rarely you
find a leader having problem when it
happens we all know about it okay that
shows the power of grace working in the
church but one of the areas is sending
someone back innocently and the guy
meant well the lady may mean well all
right but that's what happened later on
so he put confidence the pleasure he
came to this stage before sin I can
handle this no I can handle this I'll
just open this email all right let's not
open up there's some some suggestive
photos but you know there's some other
things but I just the web sites okay
or this movie you know it's like there's
some good elements I can handle this I
can handle the bad elements it starts
the confidence in the flesh you're smart
if you learn to run like Joseph because
you know something
Joseph God can trust him to rule I mean
does that mean poor Joseph you know he
was repressed for the rest no he found a
lovely wife had children had a boycott
double fruitfulness enjoyed married life
best of all he was able to have a clear
conscience never slept with Potiphar's
wife I mean now if you have fallen you
have missed it listen carefully
all right the Bible says there is
therefore now no condemnation all right
but you need to understand this this is
the area the utter convert in the flesh
you fall into sin indulgence and the
problem of the sin is what guilt and Gil
you have new resolutions from now on I
will never open the computer from now on
I will never look at the opposite sex
from now on I won't even talk to the
opposite sex you know some extreme
stupidity you know from now on never
never again never again never and a
devil never hears that say that there
was his hallelu the devil says goody
goody
the devil doesn't praise God okay all
right so there was a good alright
there's our resolutions don't work
because it presumes on man's strength
like the law it presumes on man's
strength the more you distrust yourself
in this area the better it is for you
amen
so you know down to the years I've had
my fair opportunities of people years
ago asking me pastor Prince can I have a
ride home and I said cannot because my
wife is not here if I take you back war
from one snap photo how you know then I
then I compliment her I tell her that
actually if you're an old lady I don't
mind but you look young you're very
attractive cannot if you're not
attractive I don't mind you know I gave
her comfort I supply her you understand
a man doesn't Ministry of grace and all
the people said let me close with this
let me close with this all right once
you put an heal resolution then if you
have a propensity now again for fresh
temptations you understand once you put
yourself the way Jesus broke this was he
and I close to this he countered a woman
all right he ministered to a woman
caught in adultery she wasn't a
prostitute she was caught in adultery
and what did Jesus tell her I don't
condemn you go and sin no more the
church has it backwards the church says
go and sin no more first then we won't
condemn you Jesus says I don't condemn
you go and sin no more in other words
what he gave her the gift of no
condemnation and that became an
empowerment to go and sin no more all
right anyone listening to me if you
think grace is a callous lifestyle it's
because you only have one set of grace
all right we had to leave it from the
law but I'm talking about being married
to Jesus Christ enjoying his love
enjoying his supply amen
and when you fail listen carefully when
you fail I didn't say if because here
and there you will fail all right when
you fail know this he says I don't
condemn you now go into the normal a man
it's an empowerment the Bible says in
Romans but we know how Romans 7 ends
later on he says the good
- do I do it and all that evil I'm gonna
do I end up doing I don't understand
myself what I want to do I don't end up
doing what I'd want to do I end up doing
Paul says that you know how he came out
of there
romans 8 verse 1 the very next chapter
and that close to this there let's all
read this together therefore there is
now no condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus are you in Christ Jesus
there is no condemnation from God the
word condemnation is judging to be
guilty there is no sentencing you to be
guilty to be punished in one translation
says to be punished the word here kata
crema condemnation means sentenced you
to be worthy of punishment and the word
know is a very strong word is the word
you die ass and you Dyess means not a
single judging of you worthy of
punishment remains alright if you're a
believer ok Church you need to learn
that even when you fail there is
therefore now no condemnation but why is
this gift given so that it empower you
to live a victorious life
