Redefining Sexual Freedom

Sacred by Design

In your heart, what do you believe freedom from unwanted sexual behaviors looks like, feels like?
In this episode of Sacred by Design, we'll unpack the many-layered gift of true freedom.
God sees you and loves you, right where you are.
He is inviting you to freedom of immeasurably more than just staying within practical boundaries.
Together, lets redefine freedom.
Highlights:

Accept the process: we know that god can come in and instantaneously remove whatever the struggle is. And, that's what makes it so much harder to accept that it might be a process and it might look differently than what god thinks.
Grieve: take the time to be sad that the process looks different, that freedom wont happen overnight. It isn't gods intention for us to suffer through sin but because of this fallen world, there are some things were going to suffer through. We are experiencing things that the lord did not intend for us to experience.
We have an enemy who wants us to think that god is after perfection.
Listen for the enemy's voice: see, you cant even make it a week. Whats wrong with you? You're not a good christian. You did all this stuff and its not even working. And then, the voice shifts some more and says, you know what, this is probably who you really are. So why are you fighting it? Or hey, its okay if you do this again.
Perfection is not freedom.
Freedom is not only the absence of your unwanted sexual behavior but its the presence of Jesus in his power in your life.
Remember: sanctification is a process.
The fruit of the spirit is self-control. So, when you are allowing the presence of Jesus to be with you then the spirit within you is the one who will help you with the self-control.
Romans 6:22 but now, having been set free from sin and having been enslaved to god; you have your fruit leading to sanctification and its end is eternal life.
True freedom: you have matured in a way that you have the proper response when temptation comes - not that you don't have to deal with it anymore but that because you have connected yourself to Christ and allowed him into these spaces.
