The Truth About Masturbation

"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."--Matt. 5:27-28 (NIV)

One of the reasons God created Eve was because He did not want Adam to end up in masturbation lifestyle. Sound funny, right? (Please read Gen. 2:18; Eccl. 4:11).

Understanding What Masturbation IS?              

                    

Masturbation is a sexual activity where someone derives sexual pleasure or satisfaction by rubbing or playing with his/her sexual organ with their hands or with the help of any instrument.

We have male and female masturbation.

Masturbation is one of the most common sexual behaviors among young people—yet nobody sees the effects and dangers around it.

The truth has been swallowed up with many lies and misconceptions.

Of a truth, people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge—God’s knowledge.

Understanding the Cause

Loneliness + Uncontrolled sexual urge = Masturbation.

Masturbation is caused an unclean spirit.

It is addictive and habitual. It has a strong bonding power to cage its victim for a lifetime.

This force of masturbation is so strong that when it comes upon someone, until he/she engage in the act the spirit will not leave.

Masturbation is having a strong desire to satisfy flesh. God warned us against seeking to satisfy or please the flesh or our carnal mind. (See Romans 8:6-8)

Masturbation is a consolation of the devil to bridge your sexual immoral desire and lust.

**God is too Holy to ever suggest masturbation as an antidote for your sexual lust or urge**

Many people try to treat masturbation as common and casual. Some felt that it should not be given attention because it is just a bad habit and not more. THIS IS NON SENSE!

Masturbation is more than just a bad habit…IT IS SEXUAL IMMORALITY…IT IS A SIN AGAINST GOD.

When we lack this truth and understanding…we will continue to live in bondage of falsehood.

When you look carefully at the above opening scripture, you will discover the powerful truth Jesus revealed to us: Sexual immorality is more than just sexual intercourse...

THIS IS IT:

**Every sexual gratification, relieve or pleasure that does not involve a man and a wife (as prescribed by God) is a sin and evil whether there is an intercourse or not...PERIOD!

Take a look at this scripture: "AGAIN, IF TWO LIE TOGETHER, THEN THEY HAVE HEAT: BUT HOW CAN ONE BE WARM ALONE?" (Eccl. 4:11)

This scriptural question is posted to everybody who engages in masturbation.

THINK—YES, THINK ABOUT IT.

How can you find warm (sexual pleasure) alone?

This reveals and proved that masturbation is abnormal no matter who or what you are!

Much as Sexual intercourse outside marriage is condemned...Masturbation is not an Option...

Those who engage in masturbation have put on a filthy garment. And like Joshua (Zech. 3:1-7), God is ready to change your garment today...

YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH…AND THE TRUTH YOU KNOW AND APPLY SHALL SET YOU FREE.
