I. Becoming a Kingdom Single

A.​Singles, Sex and Sexuality 2 – High Value of Sexual Purity

1.​(1 Thess. 4:3-8) Why does God places such a very high value on sexual purity? Because sex uniquely combines the spirt, soul & body with another through blood covenant.

a.​(ref. 1 Cor. 6:9-10, 18) sexual immorality can cost you kingdom promises of destiny, health, family, career, wealth, long life,as well as eternal consequences in the millennium.

• (Lev. 20:9-16) Sexual sin under the law meant death in most cases.
-Bloody sheets proof of virginity
• (Prov. 5:3-23 NLT) In the proverbs “Wisdom” and “Sexual Immorality” are contrasted and both personified as women.

2.​(1 Cor. 7:1-5, 7-9 all AMP) living together unmarried “shacking up;” husband’s/wives bodies belong to each other; refrain from sex for only one reason – mutual consent to prayer for a time.

a.​(Gen. 4:1) the first mention of sexual intercourse in the Bible uses the word “yada” which translates “know” over 900 times in the Old Testament.

• (ref. Ps. 25:14; Isa. 43:10)
• (ref. Matt. 7:23; John 17:3)

b.​Whenever sexual intercourse is not within the blessing of marriage covenant the Bible uses the words “porneuo” or “shakab.”

• Lot’s daughters’ (ref. Gen. 19:34)
• Jacob and Leah (ref. Gen. 30:16)
• Shechem defiling Dinah (ref. Gen. 34:2)
• Reuben w/Jacob’s concubine (ref. Gen. 35:22)
• David and Bathsheba (ref. 2 Sam. 11:4)
• Amnon rapes Tamar (ref. 2 Sam. 13:14)
