5. LGBTQ+ believes that sexual intimacy is a legitimate expression of
love.
Concerning sexual activity, sexual intimacy is blessed four times in scripture.
First by Moses, he says in Genesis 2:24, Jesus both in Matthew 19:5, & Mark 10:7 and Paul in
Ephesians 5:31. Each of these four verses says the exact same thing:
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
Declaration
All other sexual activity outside of marriage, whether by the LGBTQ + Community or any others who
engage in sexual activity outside of the marriage covenant between one biological man and one
biological woman is sin with negative consequences.
Flee from sexual immorality.
All other sins a person commits are outside the body,
but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit
who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
Declaration
Defining love sexually is very narrow. If you are maturing within the Body of Christ, you realize it’s not sexual or even human love that is the goal but growth towards God’s image within each of our lives. Then we begin to understand love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
Declaration
My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you.
Declaration
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.
Declaration
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises,
so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Declaration
You are my friends if you do what I command.
Declaration
Then Jesus’ disciples said,
“Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.
Now we can see that you know all things
and
that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions.
This makes us believe that you came from God.”
Declaration
For the message of the Cross
is foolishness
to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved
it is the power of God.
Decree:
We Decree because we know that the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, Yet, we also know that it is the power of God to us who believe and this is because the Blood of Jesus has washed, cleanses and sanctified us from our past sins. We are now allowed to boldly approach the Throne of Grace of our God because of Jesus’ death burial and resurrection which has made a new covenant with us. As we embrace this covenant which involve’s obedience, purity and holiness. we will walk in our inheritance, as his sons and daughters.
