Sex Addicts In Their Hearts Are Often Guilty Of This Next Scripture
Woe To Those Who Call Evil Good And Good Evil
Who Put Darkness For Light And Light For Darkness…
(NIV)
* * * * *
Sex Addicts Allow Themselves To Be Deceived
It Is A Deception That We Keep In Secret
As The Bible Says We Keep It In Darkness And We Are Very Willing To Often Lie To Keep Our
Precious Addiction Alive
And Often It Is Ourselves That We Lie To First And Foremost
* * * * *
And Why Do We Lie To Ourselves ?
Because We Don’t Want To Admit That We Have Become Slaves To Sexual Sin
* * * * *
Also Always Remember Lying Greatly Damages Any Trust We Have Within Our Relationships
* * * * *
Always Remember
Often When Trust Is Weakened – Intimacy Within The Relationship Is Weakened
* * * * *
We Often Live A Double Life And
What Do We Get From That Double Life A Lot Of

* * * * *
Both Married Men And Single Men
Who Have An Addiction Of Any Kind
Must Realize That Addiction Is An Enemy Of
Your God
Your Soul
And Of
Your Relationships
* * * * *
Sexual Addiction Is Easy – You Turn To Your Fantasy And Get Sexually Drunk
* * * * *
The Rewards =
Condemnation –
Guilt –
Shame and
Self Hatred
On The Other Hand A Good Healthy Intimate Relationship Takes Time –
Focus And Often Hard Work
But The Rewards Are Blessing Designed By Your God
* * * * *
Always Remember –
With Sexual Addiction We Find Ourselves Doing Things We Most Often Regret
Because
Often When We Are Deceived
Then We Deceive Ourselves
* * * * *
Now Let’s Set The Words Sexual Addiction And
Another One Of The Bible Words Next To Each Other-
Cursed
But They Did Not Listen Or Pay Attention
Instead They Followed The Stubbornness Of Their Evil Hearts
So I Brought On Them All The Curses Of The Covenant
I Had Commanded Them To Follow
But That They Did Not Keep
(NIV)
* * * * *
See I Am Setting Before You Today
A Blessing And A Curse
(NIV)
The Blessing =
If You Obey The Commands Of The LORD Your God
That I Am Giving You Today
The Curse =
If You Disobey The Commands Of The LORD Your God
And Turn From That I Command You Today
By Following Other gods Which You Have Not Known.
* * * * *
The Lord’s Curse Is On The House Of The Wicked
But He Blesses The Home Of The Righteous
(NIV)
I* * * * *
An Now Let’s Set The Words Sexual Addiction Next To Our Last Words From Scripture
Sin and Death
Reality Check= Sin Seems To Always Bring About Death One Way Or Another
I* * * * *
When Tempted No One Should Say God Is Tempting Me
For God Cannot Be Tempted By Evil Nor Does He Tempt Anyone
But Each One Is Tempted When By His Own Evil Desire
He Is Dragged Away And Enticed
Then After Desire Has Conceived It Gives Birth To Sin And
Sin When It Is Full-grown Gives Birth To Death
(NIV)
I* * * * *
For The Wages Of Sin Is Death
But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life
In Christ Jesus Our Lord
