But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints. Ephesians 5.3

Prostitution usually appears as something that brings satisfaction to men. Because of that, it has been welcomed among people who do not fear the Lord. Although discreet, this sinful practice has become very accepted in today’s society, even in the most radical sectors. With this, the devil is trying to turn the relationship between a man and a woman inside of a marriage relationship, which is sacred, into a means of failure for many. Have mercy on us!

The beauty of love is unquestionable. This gift was created by God as something pure and pleasurable, but the devil always tries to erase the divine purposes. With this, in the place of this pure love, an image of a condescending father arises, or, who knows, that of a religious leader who secretly approves prostitution. However, the Lord is right in condemning those who practice it, and also those who approve it.

Everything that corrupts God’s creation must be expelled from the hearts of those who do not want to fall into the clutches of the kingdom of darkness. He who doesn’t respect the prohibitions of the Scriptures disconnects himself from the Most High, and becomes an agent of the enemy (1Thessalonians 4:7,8).  However, the divine wrath will strike those who do not remain in God’s original purpose and challenge Him with acts of praises to Satan.

Impurity concerns the predominant libertinism in the world, where practically everything is allowed. It has harmed the purity and the institution of family. Because of that, inside the bedroom of a permissive couple, certain types of behavior are being practiced, the same as those practiced by people in the lowest places of society. However, the Word declares that the immaculate bed is worthy of all the honor – the conjugal relation that is free from vices (Hebrews 13:4).

Avarice is not restricted to material possessions which some find difficult to let go, even if they have to sell their soul to the devil. It also refers to immoderate desires present in so many people. Many people, while looking at someone, are filled with the desires of relating with them. This is the captivity from which they need to be delivered from as soon as possible.

Many times, even on the Lord’s altar, such subjects have been treated with a sarcastic smile, filled with words that have second intentions. With this attitude, that which is sacred in its essence becomes demoralized. These “openings” are giving a chance for the enemy to sow in those that have a weak mind, faith and character the desire to experience what is forbidden and, as a consequence, they face pain and sadness. Flee from bad counselors, for they serve the devil!

These things shouldn’t even be mentioned amongst us, even if hidden. The order is to flee (1 Corinthians 6:18). Notice: Eve was tricked while approaching the forbidden fruit and thus, she was contaminated by the evil one. She saw that the fruit was good to eat, pleasant to the eyes and desirable to give understanding. However, it was her perdition. Truly, she did the will of the devil, and if you do not watch out, so will you.

In Christ, with love,
