Sex is so powerful it drives people to do crazy things to have it.
No wonder dating and porn websites are one of the most viewed websites on the internet and they make billions of dollars annually.
Many things are beautiful and beneficial in our daily lives, yet they have the potential to harm us! Water is key to life, but becomes a tomb when a boat capsizes in the ocean!
Fire and electricity are useful but when not well used and guarded they can cause havoc destroying property and killing lives!
In the same way, sex is so powerful it can quickly bring merry or misery. The 18+ universal and ugly consequences of sexual sins are destroying lives this very minute.
You can’t put yourself in a position of being “turned on” and not engage in sex sooner or later. Every action that stimulates you sexually is adding firewood to a fire that eventually burns what’s precious to you.
Notice that sex is just one way of the many ways people satisfy their sensual desires. Some take drugs, smoke or drink alcohol to quench the lust of the flesh. This way of satisfying bodily urges without self-control leads to unpleasant consequences.
Take the example of Esau and Jacob.
One day, Esau returned from hunting very hungry. His brother Jacob had cooked some sweet red stew and Esau requested some.
Jacob said, “I’ll give you all right, but first sell me your birthright as a firstborn.”
Without thinking twice, Esau swore an oath and sold his birthright. As He received the bowl of red stew, he exchanged it for his unseen birthright as a firstborn! (Genesis 25:34)
In the same way, having sex seems just a physical act but it’s a serious spiritual exchange that opens and closes doors in the spiritual world. One of the 18 common sins of sex is enough to open your life into a lifestyle you never wanted.
Here are 11 reasons why sex is so powerful and almost irresistible:
#1: God Designed Our Bodies With Sexual Organs To Enjoy Sex
That’s natural and inbuilt. He designed the sexual organs of males and females to fit into each other during a sexual act in marriage. That’s why it’s unnatural for a male to be with a male and a female with a female.
#2: Hormones Play A Key Role In Sexual Desire & Pleasure
During and after sex the body releases hormones (chemical messengers that transmit information from the brain to body organs through the blood) like dopamine that bring pleasure, endorphins that reduce stress, oxytocin that makes a person feel good and prolactin that make someone feel relaxed.
Because of these hormones, sexual habits can become addictive as the person seeks a repeat or dose of the same pleasure over and over again.
#3: Babies Are Conceived During Sex
When the sperm from the man fertilizes the ovum of the woman during intercourse, a baby is conceived, allowing humanity to multiply and fill the earth. The billions of people in the world today are products of sex. Playing sex is serious business!
#4: Human Imagination Has Great Potential
Our minds possess a powerful imagination. Strong sexual thoughts are triggered by sight, hearing, smell and touch.
One image or sexual encounter can stay in the mind for years. People who masturbate use this to their advantage!
#5: Men Are More Visual Than Women
They’re easily aroused and find women’s bodies beautiful and irresistible. Their eyes can zoom on the parts of a woman’s body they like!
Advertisers who use slim naked beautiful women to market their products exploit this weakness in men.
“I made a covenant with my eyes
not to look with lust at a young woman.”Job 31:1
#6: Men Have Sex Primarily For Physical Enjoyment And Satisfaction Not Emotional Connection
Men can have sex without love and commitment in the equation! Ladies find this hard to believe. That’s why abstaining till marriage gives a man an opportunity to have sex after making vows!
It takes serious self-control and divine strength for a man to resist a stunning, seductive and submissive woman.
#7: Women Give Sex To Develop, Strengthen And Maintain Relationships
A woman feels compelled to give herself to the loving and caring man she is emotionally connected to. It takes great courage and spiritual stamina to say no to the man she has given her heart to because the emotional connection is too strong.
Please, ladies, be careful who you give your ear and heart to!
“Promise me, O women of Jerusalem,
not to awaken love until the time is right.”Song of Solomon 8:4
#8: The Devil And His Demons Fan Into Flame Our Sexual Desire
They accomplish this through the things we see in movies, skimpily dressed women, the sensual music we listen to and the ungodly company we spend most of our time with.
That means we have our sinful nature to deal with on the one hand and Satan’s schemes to uncover, expose and resist on the other hand.
“Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.”Proverbs 4:23
Without spiritual warfare and intimate relationship with God through prayer, it is impossible to overcome sexual temptations. Read the article Engage Prayer To Overcome Sexual Temptations| Time For Spiritual Warfare
#9: Sex Can Improve Self-Esteem In The Short-term As Someone Feels Wanted, Accepted And Loved
We all need and appreciate love, acceptance and belonging. That’s why some people can stay in an abusive relationship with no future in sight because it’s meeting this need! That makes sex super powerful.
In the long term, sex outside marriage will kill your confidence and lower your self-esteem because of the shame, guilt and insecurity that come with it.
#10: Sex Bonds Two People On A Spiritual Level
Two people become one during sex. (1 Corinthians 6:16)
This bond leads to soul ties and the transfer of sexually transmitted demons. Devil worshippers use sex rituals to transfer demons and reinforce their powers.
Therefore, much more is going on during sex than just physical enjoyment. Many people don’t know the spiritual exchange that happens during sexual acts and how it impacts the rest of their lives. Woe unto you if you sleep with anyone you meet for you don’t know what you’re becoming one with!
#11: People Use Sex To Destroy Or Have Revenge On Their Enemies
Sex is a powerful weapon in your enemy’s arsenal.
Samson, in the Bible, paid a high price due to his untamed sexual desires when beautiful Delilah was sent to expose the secret of his strength.
Even in modern times, the allure of sex is used to destroy one’s enemies. You’ve probably heard of people posting on social media nude photos of their ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends or powerful men being poisoned or set up ad trapped by women!
Sex is beautiful and powerful because God created it. When you overcome the lies most people believe about sex and embrace the truth about sex, God will help you control the power of sex so it doesn’t harm you.
If you ever fall into sexual sin, do this immediately rather than run or hide.
The way you handle your sex life will determine the quality and length of your life here on earth and your eternity after this life.
