[0:00] Hallelujah. We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church. No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God.

[0:11] May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this word. Jesus chapter 5 verse 1. Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children, and walk in love as Christ also loved us, and has given himself for us, and offering a sacrifice to God for a sweet smell in the sever.

[0:39] But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient, but rather giving of thanks.

[1:12] Here is the reading of God's Word. So we saw how our lives must flow as a sacrifice.

[1:26] And what type of sacrifice must our lives be? Peace and mercy. So our sacrifice might be a sweet-smelling sacrifice, or it must have a sweet-smelling aroma.

[1:39] God has nose. Mmm. And his nose only smells sacrifice. It doesn't smell perfume.

[1:52] Sacrifice. Sweet-smelling. God said, I like the sacrifice. Not sacrifice for God, but sacrifice for people and for the church.

[2:04] Paul said, if I am being poured out as a drink offering.

[2:17] Those days when you make a sacrifice, burnt offering. When it keeps burning and burning, just before it finishes, the last bit of the sacrifice, before it finishes burning, then you pour drink sacrifice, drink offering to see the sacrifice.

[2:40] So drink offering comes in when it's at the last stages of the sacrifice. So that's why Paul said, I am being poured out as a drink offering.

[2:52] You know what that means? That now the last stage of my life has come. The major sacrifices have been done. Now I am on the drink offering stage. Being poured out, 2 Timothy chapter 4, verse 6.

[3:05] I am ready. I am already being poured out. So in Ephesians chapter 5, it says that we should walk in love as Christ has loved us and given himself for us.

[3:23] And offering a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling saver. So he loved us and gave himself and gave us the example.

[3:34] So I know you know John 3, 16. But 1 John 3, 16 is also a good thing to remember. Religious people used to say that a lot.

[3:45] I don't know if they used to say it. They said, the Bible never said, love your neighbor more than yourself. It said, love your neighbor as yourself. For the American Christian authors who have written that in books, you have to love yourself first before you can love others.

[4:03] That's a tautology and nonsense. Everybody loves themselves by nature. Even those who do self-harm. It's because of selfishness.

[4:14] Naturally, everybody loves himself. Nobody says, I want to just suffer in life and everything must work against it. No, naturally.

[4:26] We are selfish by nature. So one of the easy ways to even serve God is when you know there's hell.

[4:37] You don't want to go. You love yourself. So you have to check into heaven. So one of the motivating factors for serving God is selfishness. Now he says that walk in love as Christ.

[4:50] Did you see that? Now self, this goes against the trend of selfishness. You can come to Christ based on selfish reasons, which is wise.

[5:04] It's wise to look for help. But when you are in the advanced Christian life is a love that sacrifices for others. A life that is not lived for self.

[5:18] Isaiah 53, verse 5. He was wounded for other people's transgressions. It says that he was wounded for his transgressions.

[5:31] Is that what he said? He was wounded for his transgressions. He was bruised for his iniquities. The chastisement for his peace was upon him.

[5:43] No. You can see that all the things he went through was for us. He said, I present to you first of all that which I also received.

[5:55] The gospel. 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 3. That Christ died for. Wow! For I deliver unto you first of all that which also I received.

[6:08] How that Christ died for our, not his sins because he didn't have any. For our. Galatians chapter 1, verse 4. He gave himself for us.

[6:19] For us. For us. For us. So the three crosses which I said the other time last week or the week before. That three things, three people were dying on three crosses.

[6:30] One was dying to sin. The other was dying in sin. And the other one was dying for sins. For sins. Christ died for sins.

[6:42] He suffered for us. He suffered for us. I think 1 Peter chapter 2, verse 20 or 22. Somewhere there it talks about. For to this you were called.

[6:54] Because Christ also suffered for us. Leaving us an example. He left us an example to follow.

[7:06] So, he is supposed, you are supposed to trace the edges of his silhouette. That must be your silhouette. He suffered for, and he says for this end you have been, to this you were called.

[7:21] So many, many Christians are living below the standard of their calling. Wow. Because it's there. This is what you have been called to. In Philippians chapter 1, verse 29.

[7:32] It says it's not given to us only to believe. Believe only. People are only believing. God was only believing. No. It said for to you it has not been granted on the behalf of Christ. It has been granted on behalf.

[7:43] Not only to believe in him, but. For his sake. For his sake. For his sake. For his sake. So, suffering is a necessary part of Christian progress. I am not talking about suffering in general, but suffering for him.

[7:57] So, it says that. Ephesians chapter 5 again. Talking about how, walk in love as Christ also loved us.

[8:08] And has given himself for us an offering. us, not you. The us excluding you. So you are walking in love for this day.

[8:21] Walk in love as Christ also walked, as Christ also has loved us and has given himself for us an offering. So you should do that the way you are living your life to be a blessing to people.

[8:38] God must enjoy that sacrifice. Like, hmm, can you imagine what kind of blessings God will pour in your life? What blessings won't God give you? It's not everybody who prays about a lot of things for God to do.

[8:53] Most of us, our prayer topics are more dealing with church things. Things that will build the church. Things that will advance the church. Things that are for the cause of the gospel. Our prayer topics are not personal things.

[9:07] Because personal things, God takes care of them. When you take care of God's personal things, He takes care of your personal things. It's the life you are living.

[9:21] When your life pleases God, there's no way what belongs to you in life will escape you. Some of you, you invested so much into making you look glamorous.

[9:37] It's not bad in itself. But it will be better if you look glamorous in the spirit. Some of us, in the spirit, we look like a caricature.

[9:54] Like a monster. You look so nice. But in the spirit, you are like a monster. Because you have not been decorated spiritually.

[10:07] God's eyes have not been forced to stay on you. Because nothing you are pursuing is in life the heartbeat of God.

[10:22] you are so sensitive and so everything about what you and me so much so that you keep missing what matters to God.

[10:37] If you want to put a smile on God's face, you have to walk in love just as Christ sacrificed and his sacrifice became a sweet smelling aroma before God.

[10:56] Hallelujah. Amen. Because today I am coming to teach on fornication. I can't choose what to teach. I can't choose what to teach. I am following a sequence.

[11:07] Now you think I am like look at Ephesians chapter 5. Look at verse 2. You see? Now look at verse 3. How do I leave it out? How can I say no that's not important let's go to verse 4.

[11:22] No. Yes. I have to touch on fornication. Praise God. Hallelujah. Alright. Let's go back from sacrifice so that we can smoothly enter into body.

[11:33] I don't know to be too bumpy. Alright. It says that and walk in love as Christ also loved us and give it himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma.

[11:55] But fornication and all uncleanness or let it not even be named amongst you.

[12:08] Wow. She mentioned that fornication. Years ago I was teaching you know when you are teaching systematically that's what systematic teaching does because you know that the Bible is not topical.

[12:24] So let's say you want to teach on love all you do is opening one chapter everything is and no it's everywhere you want to teach on fornication some is here some is there some is there some is there so when you take efficiency and you are teaching it systematically there are topics you will be forced to deal with even if you don't want to because there's so many things that are being covered so as I was teaching it go to fornication I think something about fornication and one lady she said but I don't I don't understand what is wrong with fornication she said that's the first time because I grew up society I grew up people respect their bodies so people don't fornicate my heart so that's the first time I heard someone say what is wrong if I like someone and we are sleeping together what's wrong fornication and within a Christian context I don't understand and I was very diplomatic because there are senior people some top chief executives and all kinds of things in a small room and I said wow and then one other lady married she interjected she said but there's something wrong with fornication that's her friend and Leah said there's nothing wrong she said there's something wrong oh okay then married left out the car it's because you are doing it every day that's why some of you you wish there's nothing wrong you thank God even you've been praying that God just give one day amnesty one day one day just one day break so what is wrong with fornication fornication interferes with the program of God in creation for man it interferes he said but fornication and uncleanness uncleanness covers all other things kissing somebody you're not married to he's coming very close uncleanness pornography masturbation but it's interesting all these things can be so sweet

[15:20] I was reading from some commentary and it says nothing is more damaging to mankind than fornication it is especially damaging to God's purpose and intention in creating man and to the believers church life in the body of Christ fornication is very damaging to the believers church life fornication fornication let's define fornication the Greek word is ponia so I believe one of the translations is definitely likely to translate it sexual impurities impurities okay let's run through the translations and see is someone learning something one of the best things to know when you are young it's good to know about fornication so that when you are trading in it you know you are losing out okay so you can choose to to waste destiny opportunities or preserve it let's look at different translations you see that's ponia which in English ponia sexual immorality but King James translated fornication what is fornication for but okay

[16:44] King James said fornication what is fornication fornication is sexual interaction between people who are not married and adultery is sexual interaction between two people one of whom is married so so for every adultery is fornication but not every fornication is adultery so he says fornication it should but fornication he's talking to us about we should walk in love as Christ did then he said but fornication and uncleanness sexual immorality includes excuse me my language okay there doesn't have to be penetration for it to be sexual immorality impurity in Colossians chapter 3 verse 5 it says therefore put to death your members which are on earth what's the meaning of that?

[17:51] New Living Translation it might make sense New Living Translation says so put to death the sinful earthly things lurking within you you know one thing about last and these things it's so private nobody knows yeah how many of you have liked somebody and they didn't have a clue?

[18:15] you understand what I mean? you can like listen it's not I'm going to say something that would be very helpful for a lot of you but there's a thin line between that and the other side it's not sinful to like somebody it's not sinful to have a crush on somebody it's actually human I think it's good yeah it's good it's good because to have a crush on somebody you don't start it yourself it just comes on you by the time why do I like this person like this?

[18:56] what is wrong with me? what is wrong with me? anytime you're standing on stage and leading prayer I say I can pray so some of you your best time in church is when the choiristers are singing because there is a particular person that is like massage to your feelings to have a crush on somebody is natural it's very natural especially if it's the right person because to have a crush on a very old lady you're a young man in your 20s you have a you are actually sick don't worry just keep praying and keep going it will it will fizzle you can't do anything it is part of human nature don't behave like there are not people you don't like there are people you really like sometimes you can like them so much which is not so

[20:18] I'm not even talking about lasting you want to do something with them you just feel so attracted to them and so you always have to manage your thinking so you stay safe and stay decent and stay pure and stay godly and stay holy holy man but have some attractions holy woman but have some soft sports when it comes to somebody don't pretend let's build because the more you cover it the more it grows some of you are not accountable to anybody when it says for me I never know how to open up you better save your life by being accountable to somebody save your future am I communicating something but fornication but fornication tell somebody fornication now I have to stop now let me get to the text the text in Colossians chapter 3 verse 5 says that but therefore put to death your members which are on the death then the first one said fornication and this sister this was not written to unbelievers this was written to the church when somebody fornicates in the church let's stop pretending like we are dying hey they were fornicating in the church in the bible do you understand what I'm saying oh what I like to hear is somebody brought down a christian that god forbid who has gone to fornicate and it's so broken it comes to me pastor I don't know what to do

[22:04] I want to get over it I'll pray for you show you cut the guy off cut her off that is why it's appropriate to stay safe yes because if you don't stay safe you are not safe are you listening to what I'm saying hey hey hey it's important none of us is a rock every one of us can can be victimized depending on what you expose yourself to so stop pretending like and when you you stumble stop pretending like you are flying get up dust yourself up and keep going learn from your foolish lesson learn from your lessons and keep going and sometimes you have to fight to stay in faith and determine that what systems can I put in place so distant because there are some things they really care yeah and you know many church people have sexual challenges they might not be in fornication but so we have to fight some maybe you have to unsubscribe because listen there's something called fans only or only fans that one

[23:30] I think is not dissenting or it's general it's okay it's not dissenting so why do you have only fans do you understand why have you subscribed to the only fans to be watching people's tools and so some of you you are so genuine and sometimes you are so upset with yourself in spite of your genuineness because the things you don't want to do you keep doing and you are so down angry with yourself and sometimes you have been able to go two weeks three weeks sterile doing well and then for some reason some wind will blow I'm not preaching at all and you are so upset with yourself you have to find out what leads to it so what leads to it might not be sinful but it is the sins that so easily beset you so you must know it and put in systems oh so you see your reality might not be somebody's reality so stop saying can you think about yourself because you also have your own

[24:41] I don't know if you don't have sexual feelings you are sick if you don't are you listening to me if you don't listen if you don't have sexual feelings you are sick you need it it's natural it's necessary and look it's even better to be able to serve God with it so that you can tell God this is how much I love you this is how much I love you in spite of the feelings going on in my body I can still serve you fully and truly because the hour is coming and now is when the true worshipers he said the members the members the members he said put to death your members also the members the thing is the members it's different if it's on somebody's body it's your own the thing is so part of you that many people don't know the things going on inside you motions motions are happening inside you and sometimes it gets so frustrated when during time of fasting it can get you feel like I'm not a good

[26:00] Christian and when you look at the way others are flowing the Holy Spirit dancing the Holy Ghost singing the Holy Ghost and you are watching oh God when can I also flow like that you don't know the way the guy is flowing you never know maybe they are always bigger than yours I'm saying I'm not saying you pretend but face your reality and put systems in place because if you have fornicated before you are about to do it again okay you didn't hear what I said if you have fornicated before you are about to do it again because Satan will leave you for a season you come back you are about to do it if how many of I can't ask you but maybe some of you are genuine enough so what you have done if you watched porn before it comes back so all the ex porn watches it's not gone no no

[27:06] I'm just telling you it's not gone no no no it's okay you come back so you have to put in systems that make it impossible for it to happen it's waiting for times when you are vulnerable waiting for times when you are very stressed most times when you are very stressed you are very vulnerable when you've lost your job when you failed an exam when you failed an exam you are likely to fall back to that guy when you've just lost your job when you've lost a loved one when there's so much pressure it's like things are not working pressure you can be in church but you are so vulnerable you are at a tipping point that's why every good pastor must never write people off because of what they've done must never think you are useless nobody is useless if they have Christ in them nobody today God sent me to you to talk to you about your sexual desires sexuality is a very wild thing it's eating you and nobody knows you are still smiling but you are so charged your mama doesn't know that you are ripe your dad doesn't know that you are having some emotions emotions she emotions so that's why it's always good to make sure your environment your exposure is sanitized because it can generate something or activate something inside you that is lying dormant waiting for the appropriate time because it's good

[29:06] God gave it to you but it's healthy it's like fire it's good for fire to be your servant but when fire becomes your master you're in trouble you're in trouble when your desire your taste becomes your master some of you know exactly what I'm talking about like smoking like gambling gambling you start it's difficult to stop it's difficult to stop smoking spliff weed there are people here you have whiskey and brandy in your car not even at home it's in your car as I speak pocket one there's a pocket one yeah some have it in your bag pocket one Christian brother what is condom doing in your wallet so Putin systems mad bliss for someone who feels you hate something you are stuck in it you feel

[30:13] Satan is taking it's not you I know you are a good person I know you want to do God but the fact that you want to do God doesn't mean Satan will give you a free ride no no no sometimes the more he's afraid of your future the more he intensify the fight because if he can make you compromise now he settled with your shattered future your members he said put to death put to death prayer doesn't do it for you you have to put in systems put in systems let me add one or two texts it's okay like Romans chapter 6 verse 13 and Romans chapter 7 verse 5 7 verse 23 no 23 Romans chapter 6 verse 13 says that and do do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin did you see that what are your members anything that's part of your body so your hands some of you ask our hands instead of laying hands to heal the sick you are laying hands on all kinds of things your hands members of sin instruments of sin your breasts have become an instrument for sin your hands brother have become an instrument for sin your eyes instruments don't let those members become do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin chapter 7 of Romans verse 5 verse 23 pray

[31:54] I'll add to I won't comment too much anymore is someone getting something is making somebody uncomfortable the work of a preacher is sometimes to make you uncomfortable sometimes to make you comforted sometimes to make you live shouting sometimes you have to live thinking I told you we warn and teach so sometimes not only one way there are times you have to do this one service can change you Romans chapter 7 verse 5 for when we were in the flesh the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruits to death your members there are things inside your members your members hello say members you are members how many of you have got members not church members body members everybody have got members you see there look at verse 23 but I see another law in in in but they are not church members members members and there's the law

[33:18] I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind my mind wants to do something but there's a certain law in my members my tongue my taste my eyes my smell some of you the way you can be tipped is the way when you smell something it reminds you of some things some of you there are some pictures you have to delete delete the pictures delete the pictures delete those pictures it's not helping you you think I don't know you are genuine but you are deceiving yourself to think you can remain genuine and stay in good stead and on a good track accommodating those dangerous elements delete the pictures you will not delete your life delete I don't know who I'm talking to some things must go yes it's not only belly that must go some things must go especially pictures of it with your ex yeah thank you they're my eyes only pictures am I preachy at all

[34:37] I beg you delete the pictures I don't mean you are a bad person but it might not advantage you it fuels the law of sin in your members it's fueling don't give occasion for sin the flesh to fulfill its last Romans chapter make chapter 13 make no occasion Romans chapter 13 I think from 13 14 somewhere there make no occasion for the flesh to fulfill its last but put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill so those pictures are making provision those things you are hidden are making provision that kind of phone call you have been making late at night is making provision that kind of text messaging that is going on you know something is building up but you are pretending like we are just friends you know your members are not gentle but fornication tell somebody but fornication but fornication

[35:49] I have to give you one or two scriptures I have to stop now but look 1 Corinthians chapter 5 chapter 5 chapter 5 verse 1 chapter 5 verse 11 chapter 6 verse 13 chapter 6 verse 15 1 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 1 watch this and this church no church spoke in tongues more than this church the Corinthian church no Paul said when it comes to gifts you lack nothing yeah in fact 2 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 12 he said all the signs of an apostle is wrought amongst you yes see truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished amongst you with all perseverance in signs and wonders and mighty this look at 13 mighty this for what is it wherein you were inferior to other churches you were not inferior at all except he said that except I was not taking money from you to preach the gospel and he said forgive me for this wrong yet

[36:51] I won't take said I didn't allow you to sponsor me because people talk rubbish so it has made you inferior in that area but he said apart from this offering collection you are not inferior to any church he says signs were wrought among you mighty deeds Corinthians Paul had to write speaking in tongues they were speaking in tongues so Paul even had to come in and say listen chapter 14 verse 8 he said I thank God I speak in tongues more than all of you and chapter 13 he said if I sacrifice my body verse 1 and I have no love I'm nothing so the Corinthian church were gifted church and yet there was heavyweight fornication going there do you know why because of the society they were in so anytime you hear Corinthianization it's caused with all kinds of sexual behaviors

[37:54] Corinthian community society was highly sexualized so before some of you before you turn 16 you are so exposed to having sex when I was growing up the youth groups we were part of a chunk of us were virgins many of us it's not because we were better Christians than those here but our culture the culture we grew up is even difficult to have it where are you going to do it where are you going to do it by here there's so many options free plenty free arts so most of you in spite of the fact that you are such a decent person you got compromised very early and I'll be very naive to use your past to judge your quality no it's a society Isaiah said I'm an unclean man with unclean lips why because

[38:57] I dwell in the midst of unclean people the condition of the people have become the condition of the prophet what is me for I'm undone because I'm a man of unclean lips and dwell in the midst of unclean for my eyes have seen the king when he saw God he realized that he's not good enough Corinthians society they had temple prostitutes so they go to worship not Christian worship they are form of religion at that time when you go deeper the worship they are prostitutional base that's how you worship so they are people called temple prostitutes they are just there to help you to worship yeah both male and female and down they have become born again and time will not permit me first Corinthians chapter 5 he said let's look at it look at it verse 1 he says that it's actually reported that there is sexual immorality amongst you and such sexual immorality that is not even named among Gentiles that a man should have his father's wife someone scream church

[40:16] I'm talking about church I'm talking about people who are speaking in tongues church Corinthian church they've gone so far now they've taken the thing to another level he's a church member he's in the choir he's in the ashes but he's sleeping with his father's wife he said that's how fire gone fornication he said I hear there is fornication amongst you that's interesting he said I hear it's like I hear there is coronavirus amongst you there is Ebola amongst you no that shouldn't have been how did it come there I've heard there is fornication amongst you it has actually been reported that let me stay with the fornication because that one is nicer I hear there is fornication amongst you amongst you amongst you look at verse 11 but now I have written unto you not to keep company if any man that is called a brother is in your

[41:24] Bible some of you are surprised ready for yourself ready for yourself he said don't keep company with such a person yes he's in the church but he's not your friend anymore because he's sleeping with too many girls or that girl too much he said if any man is called a brother be a fornicator or a covetous or an idolater is into idols idol worship or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner you know extortioner 419 it's always duping people with such and one not to eat don't eat with such a person so now I'll give you the solution run away from that girl run away from that boy it's not worthy keeping that relationship they would shatter all your future hopes for ministry yeah yeah am I prophesying at all 1st

[42:36] Corinthians chapter 6 verse 13 verse 13 then we go to verse 15 and then verse 18 is not part of my text but I think just to run it up I will throw in verse 18 is that okay Georgina are you getting something praise God meat oh this is very funny text let's already are let's go let's read that bit that part again let's go now one more time loudest loudest loudest loudest wow wow wow wow you want God to be with you then let your body be for God yes let's read now again so the comma please let's already out let's go now the body is not for fornication louder now the body is not for fornication loudest now the body is not for fornication now that you've gotten it look at the person next to you and tell them what you just read now the body is not for fornication when when now when now when now maybe yesterday it was now now now now now the body is not for fornication somebody's asking but pastor so what do I do with my body now when he said the body it's means two things one is the body is not for fornication it means the body but also it's a very polite way of telling you mentioning the body there means genitals right hmm so those of you asking me so what should I do with it hmm because there's energy now now the body is not for fornication hmm it's for the Lord it's for the Lord he's he's for the Lord he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he the body is for the Lord he said present your body as magnificent holy and acceptable which is your reasonable service when you are really genuinely in worship it includes every member of your body so your every member is for the Lord it didn't say the body is not for sex hmm because when you are married in fact sexual relations between a husband and wife it is for the Lord yeah yeah

[45:28] God finds it so honorable so Hebrews chapter 13 verse 4 says that marriage is honorable and the interaction in the bed between a husband and wife is honorable above all marriage is honorable and he said marriage is honorable and interaction the bed is on the it's not for God doesn't have a problem he created it and that's why I'm telling you having a crash and libido is not a sin but when you have a crash remember the body is not for fornication it's for the Lord don't use what belongs to God to satisfy your crash it belongs to God he said he said marriage is honorable and the bed on the fire then he said but put it on the screen Hebrews Hebrews chapter 13 verse 4 but all mongers and adulterers God said leave them for me

[46:29] I will deal with it myself God said I will deal with it myself 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 13 alright so now let's go to verse 15 verse 15 says that know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ did you see that that's what I said the body is not for fornication it's a member of Christ when you get into a relationship be determined that you'll be a Christian girl be determined because there's a thin line between being a strong Christian girl and a fake Christian girl thin line between being a strong Christian man one thing I realized about Christian ladies is they have such admiration for pure Christian men so when you're a Christian leader and the girls love you they love you because they find you so pure so they don't fear to love you they know they can give you hug any type of hug and it's not a problem women are created to honor women know how to honor that's why in every environment of worship women can go deeper they admire your godliness so those of you who want to be leaders

[47:57] Christian leaders and you you have a girlfriend you are struggling you are not even married you are struggling there's a problem in your Christian future struggling I want to encourage the god godly woman in you I want to encourage the godly man you have it it's in you just that sometimes your environment is so contaminated you don't even realize you are above that level you know you have it don't be deceived you say pastor I don't know I'm struggling you can you can you can walk out of it because you have the Holy Spirit love God the body is not for fornication but for for for I told you I'll add one more verse verse 18 it's scary hey let's read the first two words flee fornication oh I didn't hear you flee fornication why the body is not fornication but for the lord so verse 18 says what flee fornication what does it mean flee for run like you are flying you know there's a running you can't do it's almost like you're almost flying flee fornication how many of us will join me on the campaign of fleeing personal fornication yes you can yes you can please don't let your past deter you don't let your past make you think you are not what you do you are not what you do you might have done that but you are not who they say you are you are a new creature in Christ

[49:40] Jesus so you can flee fornication when he's coming here call somebody trustworthy tell the person the girl is coming says he's coming to visit by experience you know anytime you don't plan it but it happens something happens then later on you'll regret why do you regret because you're a genuine Christian and I'm appealing to your heart not just your mind your heart you know you are you are serious about God but you keep stumbling and if some of those who are holy see you you don't want anyone to know God they will think you are fake but you are not I'm telling you I know you are not God knows you are not just that you haven't put in the systems to help you flee so now let's put in systems to flee because the body is not for fornication did you receive something thank you for listening to this message by David Entry we pray you have been strengthened and enlightened you can connect with David Entry on all relevant social media platforms including Instagram and LinkedIn you can also hear more messages from David Entry on all relevant streaming platforms and the Caris Church app don't forget to like and share the message be blessed you
