Sex - I've Had It!
By Michael Tummillo
Sex was a great idea.
Of course it was...it was GOD's idea. But just like any other great idea He's given mankind (electricity, for example), if it's misused, its destructive power can be unleashed.
What makes me mad is how often I hear about lives that are being destroyed simply because one partner or the other can't keep their pants on. Friends, I hear it all the time. I'm sick of it! Whether it's a husband caught viewing porn or a woman whose been cheating on her husband with a guy at the office, I've heard it all.
And I'm not gonna take it any more!
Don't grow calloused to the attack of the enemy in this arena; watch the news and carefully consider how many of the crimes you hear about had sex at their root.
For example, a boyfriend kills his girlfriend's baby daughters. Premarital sex might have gotten the girl pregnant in the first place - maybe both babies are from two different fathers. Perhaps a woman kills her husband. She's been struggling with her attitude toward men ever since her dad started having sex with her when she was small. You see? Isn't satan a master at this stuff? One generation after another is being affected - even destroyed - because we can't get a handle on sex.
We are sexual beings. Just take a look at yourself nude in the mirror. We were designed to reproduce. We are drawn to the opposite sex because there's an appeal, much of it sexual. God's first words to creation were "Be fruitful and multiply."
LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX
Talk about sex? C'mon! we're Christians and we don't do that...right? We'd better start! I saw a commercial the other day where on kid after another was begging their parents to talk about sex with them After all, as one boy states, "It's all over the Internet."
I knew a woman whose husband said, when it's time to discuss sex with his sons, he would get a Playboy magazine and begin. Sick, isn't it?
"Friends, we've got trouble," as the Music Man sang. I apologize if this doesn't line up with your theology, but that's tough. What we're currently doing about this problem - if anything at all - is simply FAILING.
We can win this battle!
Have you had it with sex - the sick thing that Satan has made of it, that is? It CAN be redeemed.
Lord Jesus, I thank You for revealing to me any times when my body has been used, with or without my permission, as an instrument of unrighteousness. (Make a list of any that come to your mind).
I confess that my body was used as an instrument of unrighteousness and I recognize such uses as sin. (Ritual abuse, sex slave, video taped sex acts, a victim of rape, sexually abused as a child, prostitution, premarital sex)
I renounce these acts (adultery, sexual fantasies, lust, pornography, coveting the spouses and daughters of others, sex with prostitutes, etc) and thank You, Lord Jesus for breaking all soul ties created through them, and all other bondages satan has brought into my life BY them.
I renounce all pre-marital sexual experiences and break all ungodly soul-ties with others. I forgive any others with whom I have been engaged in any sexual experiences for they knew not the impact of what they were doing by succumbing to their carnal desires.
I DECLARE those bondages BROKEN, in Jesus' Name!
I now present my body to You, Jesus, as a living sacrifice, holy and blameless, and I thank You for cleansing and forgiving me at the cross. I receive your goodness, your grace, your forgiveness and your mercy that's new EVERY morning.
I reject and disown all the sins of my ancestors. As one who has been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of Christ Jesus, I cancel all demonic assignments that has been passed on to me from my ancestors.
I DECLARE all those curses are now BROKEN because of the Blood of Jesus shed at the cross.
I renounce all satanic assignments directed towards me and I cancel every curse that Satan and his angels have put on me.
I reject any and every way in which Satan or his demons may claim ownership of me.
I DECLARE that I belong to the Lord Jesus Christ who purchased me with His own blood.
I reject all other blood sacrifices and I announce that I am eternally and completely signed over to the Lord Jesus Christ and committed to do His will from this day forward.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, I renounce every one of the above sins and any sins like them.
I turn away from them all and will do them no more and I DECLARE that they will in no way impact my family and my descendants.
I renounce any past or present association with Satan, his angels or his works.
I renounce all sexual immorality, all demonic assignments, all occult practices, satanism, and any master other than the Lord Jesus Christ.
I renounce any unforgiveness or bitterness I may hold against anyone, including myself and against You, my Lord.
I renounce every sin that is against my
Holy God and against His beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for completely forgiving me.
I acknowledge that the Lord Jesus took all my guilt and punishment for me on the Cross and there is therefore no condemnation for me. I have been
bought with the blood of Christ.
I thank You Jesus for filling me with Your Holy Spirit today, for leading me into all truth and empowering me to live above sin.
I commit myself to the renewing of my mind in order to prove that Your will is good, perfect and acceptable for me.
I pledge to see myself as a wounded healer and will share with others that there is deliverance and healing ONLY through Jesus Christ.
Thank you for the wonderful gift of sex. I thank you that my sexual drive will never again have mastery over me. I serve no Master but King Jesus!
All this I do in the Name and Authority of
the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
