Process to Freedom

Gradually, through seeing and hearing sex as portrayed in movies and music, hearing friends talk about it, and through my own choices and experiences, I had come to accept and live according to what the world said about sex. I had believed that my sexuality was something that I had to keep away from God. When I came back to God, I needed to go back to the beginning and hear the truth again.

These simple truths¹ turned everything I thought I knew upside down:

• God thought up and created both sexes.
• God made your body.
• God thought up sexuality.
• The devil has never desired sexual fulfillment for anyone. His only intention is to bind us and destroy us.
• God only says no if He has a logical or loving reason.
• We will never get fulfillment through sinning – only bondage and destruction.
• In the Garden of Eden, God said, “It is very good.” Do we really think that God made a mistake when He made a naked man and naked woman with fully functioning hormones? No. It is good. Don’t call it bad.
• Where is it more appropriate to talk about sexuality than in the presence of the One who thought it up?
