Are you selling your PURITY?

Hebrews 12:16

“Be careful that no one takes part in sexual sin or is like Esau and never thinks about God. As the oldest son, Esau would have received everything from his father, but he sold all that for a single meal.”

·      As I was at the hospital reading this, the Holy Spirit just spoke to my heart and said, “Are you selling your PURITY?” wow what a question. Never has the story of Esau become so real and so relevent. My generation has different voices speaking into their lives about purity. In church purity or sex is something that isn’t heard or spoken about because it’s BAD, But if the church aint going to speak about that stuff then the world will, and what the world is preaching is not what God intended Purity to be. Are we selling our purity for a simple morsel of pleasure?

·      I’ll always remember Kris Valottons message about purity and the main thing that stuck with me is that “we need to FIGHT for our purity.” Sometimes we overlook that, and think that purity just comes along. Trust me purity doesn’t come easy it’s a battle and sometimes we do let our guard down and that’s when we hurt the most. That question has really been bothering me, “are you selling your PURITY?” The enemy will always make that morsel of pleasure look better than it really is. I started to think about my future. My purity isn’t just for me, but it’s also for my future wife. I guess to explain my application I”ll let scripture speak for me, “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.” –Eph. 5:3 Not even a HINT!

·      My God help me to live out Ephesians 5:3, let there not be a hint of sexual immorality or any other impurity. God give me strength to say no to the quick and easy pleasures that the enemy lays out for me, so I can say yes to the grand feast that you have set before me. There is to much in stake, I don’t want to sell my purity.
