“Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned? Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet
being scorched?” –Proverbs 6:27-28
Flirting?
Does it really matter?
Flirting is perhaps the oldest and
most trusted weapon the enemy, Satan,
has used to draw and deceived mankind into the pit of sin and wickedness.
Flirting is the mother of
tempatation; as temptation is the mother of sin.
Flirting is simply a deliberate
choice, will or act of putting oneself in a position of being tempted or lured
into problem or sin.
Flirting is creating a doorway by
your own self-will for the Devil and Sin to creep into your life.
It is all about building a house
when you know you will not live in it…
I ask you, “Why will someone get to
a door if he knows you is not interested to come inside or enter”.
This is the attitude of a Flirt,
“I like to get to the door, but I don’t feel like entering. I just want to stay
and play around the door.”. IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!
Flirting is a game of deception, lies,
disguise, hypocrisy, flattery and seduction. It is a creative attitude
displayed by a person in order to make people believe what is not true.
God is not a Flirt. There is
no flirting in His Nature. God is honest,straightforward, truthful, original and
sincere.
The game of flirting has been a deadly parasite that has diverted and
destroy the destiny and lives of many young
people today. People flirt around the door of sexual immorality and God
warned to flee from it!
If you study the Life of Samson in
the Bible, you will find out that he was a Flirt. He used his wisdom, power
and abilities to flirt and play game. He ventured into sexual immorality and ended up losses
his eyes, power and life.
Flirting is an profitable activity.
It is one of Satan tricks to waste, steal and divert the destinies, visions and
gifts of young people without them knowing.
Joseph in the Bible was not a Flirt. He feared God and saw sexual
immorality as wickedness and evil. Therefore when His Master’s wife came to romance him, he ran for his life.
FLEE…for this is the right attitude we must develop if we want to overcome
sexual temptations.
How
many of us see flirting as a sin?
How
many of play around sin and then
say, “After all, I haven’t committed the sin?” How many of us kiss and romance someone and say,
‘well it is okay, we did not have sexual intercourse.”
There is a proverb that says, “IF
YOU DON’T WANT TO EAT THE APPLE, THERE IS NO NEED TOUCHING IT”.
The Bible says, “do not give the
devil a chance”.
Many so called Christians have
boyfriend and girlfriend, yet they claim they want to remain a virgin! What a
stress…what a deception.
Flirting is self-deception. It comes
from the spirit of lust. You said you don’t want to have sex, yet you like to
watch pictures and videos of naked people having sex. Who is deceiving who?
It is time to examine yourself. Life
is a battle field, and not a game house or a theater. It is time to separate
yourself from careless and care-free living. It is time to live a life of
self-respect, integrity and honesty.
‘It doesn’t matter’ is the attitude
that has destroy many destinies.
Don’t live a life today that will be
full of regrets and pain tomorrow.
I am speaking from experience.
Stop the game of flirting…
