Did you remember to pray?

What is immorality? The Greek word for "immorality" is porneia which means illicit sexual intercourse, i.e., fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, etc.  The English word "pornography" is derived from this Greek word. "Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.“ - 1 Corin. 6:18

There is hope even if you have “missed the mark” There is hope even if you have “missed the mark”. God desires to heal you and give you a new life. All you need to do is ask Him to forgive you. There is hope even if you have already “missed the mark” and gone beyond the boundaries God has set up for sex.

The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I am pregnant."

Story of two men Rich man Poor man

Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD.

Like David, you will have to be honest with God, and with yourself. 1 Like David, you will have to be honest with God, and with yourself. 1. Stop trying to hide your sin behind cheap excuses and lies 2. Be willing to deal with and accept the consequences of your sin 3. Totally surrender yourself to God having accepted His free gift of forgiveness, let Him start the process of rebuilding your life

How to get clean Expect miracles not magic. God's forgiveness is real and immediate; true healing may take time. God is Faithful. Your forgiveness and healing is not because of anything you can do Enlist a friend. In the time of His greatest test and temptation, Jesus asked His closest disciples to be with Him.

Big Idea: It is when we are truly honest with God that we find His mercy and grace: God never brings us condemnation without offering us grace and healing. He wants to have an intimate relationship with each of us, and goes out of His way to invite us into that relationship. Restoration is God’s focus.

Are you ready for a fresh start? Your life can be healed, restored, and rebuilt, just like David's was. I can tell you from experience that it will not be an easy journey, but it will be the most worthwhile journey of your entire lifetime.

God can make a girl who has given away her sexual purity clean again, inside and out. He can give a guy back his manhood and dignity, and give him power to be a promise-keeper. He can restore what is eaten away and give you courage to face the world with a new set of eyes.
