The weight of being a single parent can be quite a heavy load to carry. The world and those who are carnally minded would have you believe that it is somehow excusable and justified to have a sexual arrangement of some kind to relieve stress and to supposedly help with a myriad of issues from loneliness to acne. Such arrangements are not an option for the Israelite. I am aware that there is doctrine circulating that states that as long as you are monogamously, sexually involved with a person of the opposite sex (of course) that intercourse in an of itself makes you married to that person. However the marriage covenant is deeper than sexual intercourse and should be respected as such. Chastity is by no means an easy thing to accomplish as it requires both physical and mental refraining from indulging in matters of a sexual nature and short of adoption, if you conceived your children via sexual intercourse and now find yourself without a mate, keeping your ear-gates, eye-gates and mind clear of sexual thoughts and activities is a sometimes seemingly impossible feat. Babylon's oversexed philosophies and habits always seem to make their way inside of our homes, whether it is via media or your children's exposure to the outside world. But, to quote my favorite Scripture, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). There are many, many reasons to remain chaste as a single person in this wicked age and the reasons to be chaste as a single parent are actually compounded. So from one single parent to another here are at least 7 reasons to remain chaste:
1. If no one else seems to know that you creeping and gettin' it on, trust and believe The Most High knows and HE is NOT happy with you or your sin. Is getting broke off more important than your halakah? Seriously? You'd risk eternal damnation and being at odds with The Most High over a piece of tail? If so, your priorities are way out of wack and you may be able to perpetuate the ruse for a while but trust me when I tell you, you'll get all the rope you need to hang yourself.
2. Ducking and dodging your children or putting them off on "babysitters" to rendevous with a lover is not a good look. In fact, it is super trife! Not to mention bringing mr. or ms. so-in-so or fake "uncles" and "aunts" around your kids for your sexual escapades is setting a HORRIBLE example for your children. How do you expect your children to have a healthy concept of the marriage covenant including sex inside of marriage if you are creeping? Also understand that your children are not stupid, in fact most children who are being raised in Torah are actually quite perceptive and intuitive. So if you think you're being slick, trust me, you're not! That chicken will come back home to roost on you one day and when it does you will have to eat the fruit of your deception. That could be why your child is acting out. You are teaching them one thing and living another and not even your babies think that's cool!
3. The obvious to a single parent...a baby out of wedlock! Duh! Even if you are a single parent due to divorce or loss of a spouse in death, the last thing you need is another child conceived outside of a marriage covenant! And for those already single parents because of bad choices and decisions made in our pasts, come on now... you already know! Dads: Aren't you tired of paying out child support and not having your babies under one roof? Moms: Aren't you already weighted down enough with the child(ren) you already have? Let's not be animalistic and think with our genitalia. There are very real consequences to sex outside of covenant. The child produced maybe a blessing but the drama that ensues not to mention the confusion among your other children is simply unnecessary. It can also wreck your finances and compromise any respect that those who thought you were an upright Israelite might have for you. By the way, that includes the respect of your children! And sacrificing children to Molech (abortion) is only compounding your troubles and giving the enemy more ammunition to totally destroy you and your family in every respect. Even if no one else finds out, you'll always be haunted with the memory of that child.
4. Sex outside of covenant leaves you vulnerable to demonic possession. There is a reason why witches, etc engage in what's known as sex magic rituals. Sex outside of covenant perpetuates a oneness with unclean spirits and is even said to open up portals in the spirit realm for demonic spirits to enter. You may think you know EVERYTHING about your sex buddy/partner/hook up/fwb but know this, if you are not in a set apart marriage covenant and that person has the ability to lay with this one and that one then you are by proxy laying with this one and that one as well! Which is not only nasty but spiritually careless! When you have sex, your physical and spiritual man is involved in that act and you may be able to keep the physical man from becoming infected with disease but your spirit man is going to be attacked and assaulted by whatever foul spirit your lover has passed onto you via the act of intercourse. This is how people end up indulging spirits of perversion and even sexual abominations before they even realize just how far they have slipped and fallen away.
5. STDs!!!! Why would you ever risk your life and health for sex? If you are doing so, this is symptomatic of a greater problem that you need YAH to deliver you from before you truly self-destruct! There are MANY, MANY STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Some will maim and disfigure you, some will take away your fertility while others will sentence you to a slow and painful demise. Some of the STDs that we know of have actually mutated and have become resistant to antibiotics and other treatments. Hepatitis B, genital herpes, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and AIDS are just a few of the incurable STDs but in recent years there have been STD hybrids and strains; combinations of HIV and gonorrhea; chlamydia and gonorrhea and even a strain of gonorrhea called "super gonorrhea" which is antibiotic resistant. Also consider that there are some people who know that they are infected with such diseases but don't mind "sharing". Misery loves company not you! And if you think you are cool because you only indulge in oral sex, think again! Certain brain cancers, oral and throat cancers have been linked to oral copulation via the spread of the Human Papilloma Virus. There is no such thing as "safe sex" either. Condoms are not a "fail safe" method as this wicked culture would have you believe in fact HPV is still commonly spread among condom users and many people actually have latex allergies which only complicates matters. (For more on this subject Condoms Don't Work - Epidemic of sexual diseases; media strangely silent and Prolife - The Truth About Condoms)
6. The hypocrisy of sex outside of the marriage covenant. For an Israelite, who says that they are walking in truth to willingly violate YAHUAH's commandments and willingly yield the temple of their body to a sexual act is actually setting yourself up for a seared conscience and a reprobate mind. Because it's not that you don't know, it's that you don't care enough to yield the whole of your life as worship unto The Most High and that includes your body! Your very existence is for HIS pleasure and HIS pleasure alone so if you choose to violate that fact and trespass The Law, all the Truth you know for a few minutes of pleasure then YHUH is not the priority in your life that you publicly profess. Your body is meant to be the Temple of the Ruach haQodesh how do you then justify a union with some chick or dude who doesn't even think enough of you to be married to you and probably doesn't even serve the same ALAHYM that you serve. They could care less about YAHUAH's Word and you allow them to trample HIS temple and seduce you into the same diabolical and lascivious behavior against The Most High and HIS kingdom. Where is your loyalty? And even if you are having the thoughts and refuse to bring them captive, you are setting yourself up to bring those thoughts into fruition. And for what? It's all leading to death!
7. Soul ties, the unholy kind...
As I have mentioned in the other points, you are making yourself physically and spiritually vulnerable to a person who obviously has no respect for you, your children or The Most High whom you claim to love and serve. Soul ties of this kind are so destructive and deceptive as they compel you to feel as if you truly love this person and this person loves you. It's only the chemical result of a sexual union that should've never taken place! But it is also the spiritual fruit of a sexual union that violates Torah and your relationship with YHUH, Most High. Soul ties take so much time and energy to shake and be delivered from and they can erroneously alter the course of your life because it feels like love, real love! So you end up romanticizing an aberrant relationship that is nothing more than an act of rebellion against YHUH. The soul tie leads to idolatry as you will apprise your relationship with your sex partner over your relationship with YHUH you may even succeed in luring or being lured into marriage with this person in an attempt to legitimize something warped and perverted from the jump and then be left to wonder why it didn't work. Sadly enough, if it is The Most High's will for you to marry, you could miss out on the right one because you are emotionally tethered to the wrong one. The right one will come along and because he or she doesn't possess that certain something that caused you to idolize your soul tie, you'll reject them because your heart and soul has deceived you into believing that the soul tie is your "soulmate" or "one true love" and that no one else is good enough for you but them! How sad! There is nothing more dangerous than a person who is self-deceived.
If you ain't know, sex ain't nothing to play with and neither is YAH, Almighty! If any of this is you, then you truly need to REPENT so that you can be delivered, healed and truly transformed by the renewing of your mind. You need to come out of the Babylonian concept of love and marriage that often leads to the sexual trespass of fornication and whoredom. Babylon teaches that you only need to "be in love" with someone to have sex with them and if you can't be with the one you love, "love the one you're with". This kind of mindset is against Torah and will set you up for seeking and accepting rebellion in your own life. If you are even indulging in pornography and/or masterbation, you have a spirit of perversion and you need to REPENT, be healed and delivered as sex with one's own self is not anything but yielding the members of your body for an unclean, sexual act that seems harmless but will only manifest in immense spiritual degradation. YHUH deserves and desires a clean and qodesh temple, why would you try to give HIM anything less? Seek YHUH and HIS divine will for your life as HE is the only One who can satisfy well beyond a few minutes and into an entire lifetime, if you will allow HIM to. HE knows what we need and when we need it but if you are still trying to pacify flesh, how will you truly know what you need enough to accept and receive your blessing. You have been called into The Truth for a reason and ha Shatan hates it and would love nothing more than to destroy you by distorting your perception of The Truth and reality. The reality is, when you willingly sin against YHUH, life will not be a pleasant place for you, in fact it can become hell on earth! If YAHUSHA came to give us life and that more abundantly then why would you dare settle for junk? If you are a child of The Most High, then it's time to live like it and that includes guarding against carnal influences of every kind and that may include separating from friends who are perpetrating a fraud themselves to refraining from the consumption of various forms of media (movies, music, tv, internet, etc.) that may arouse emotions and validate mindsets that are inconsistent with Torah. It is also important to realize that most mainstream media is commonly laced with sexual subliminals to purposely arouse a person sexually without them realizing that the media was responsible for the arousal. YHUH wants you to know HIM better but you can't get to HIM for the lust in your heart. Finally, as parents we are stewards and guardians of our children's hearts and minds and when we so blatantly allow flesh to rule us so that we compromise our witness and our example to them and the world at large then we should expect the repercussions to be severe! Let our passion be for YHUH and HIM alone so that HE can fulfill us in every way that matters to The Kingdom and for all eternity! HalaluYAH!!!
