James 4:7 ''Resist the devil and it will flee from you.''

In this world you and me are surrounded by sexual images that opens the door to temptation. They are everywhere-on tv, billboards, magazines, music, the internet-and so easy to access that we sometimes feels impossible to escape their clutches. Yet, God expects His children to be sexually pure.

So how can we actually survive the relentless battle against temptation? Is it ever possible?? The answer is a definite YES!!!!!! Jesus has proofed it possible as He became a human just like us 2000 years ago and walked a sinless life in His whole 33 years of humanity.

And since we are the images of God, we are to reflect His characters in our daily walk with Him and it's very important to gain victory in this facet of our lives- our SEXUAL lives. The battle cry of the day is for men and women of all ages to live a pure and holy life.

This matter of urgency has been a taboo in the church and among believers for too long that one by one is falling short of God's glory in this area. Therefore If there is even a spark of desire for purity in your life, i recommend the book 'Every young man's battle' for guys and 'Every Young Women's Battle' for girls, which will definitely help you to kindle the fire of purity within your spirit.

The authors' poignant stories paint a picture of battle in which everyone can relate and offer hope and camaraderie to win the war. Before i end this post let me share a real life story of how a man maintain and ''reserve'' his virginity for none other than his future wife..

This man, named X, realized the importance of taking control of his eyes, mind and heart in order to completely honor God. In order to avoid any temptation, he bought himself a ring. A ring of purity. The ring signified his virginity. It was a symbol of relationship and purity.

He wore it day and night, and the ''ring'' prevented him from sinning against God and his future wife. He never intended to take off the ring himself. He wanted his future wife to do it instead on their wedding day... when upon saying ''I do'', his wife, would finally took off that ring, put on another ring upon his finger, and whilst whispering.. ''You are mine and i am yours forever....'' they kissed...

Isnt that romantic and great?? X preserved the ring for no one but his one and only wife. This story signified that virginity and purity are as important to men as they do to women. The ring promises a lasting marriage..and a happily ever after..

WOULDNT YOU WANT IT TOO? (to be continued..)
