THOU SHALT NOT COMIT ADULTERY/FORNICATION: Exodus 20:14 God’s seventh commandment
Adultery:”Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse”
Fornication: “voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or two persons not married to each other.
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous
Matthew 5:27-29 “You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you [b]to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” (NASB)
“One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.
” Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her…. Then she went back home. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.” 2Samuel 11:2-5 My friends It looks like someone forgot to tell David that He was A man after God’s own heart.
The point is even the elect are vulnerable when God’s precious time is not spent wisely, and our focus is not on His presence in our life. The world we live in today is so saturated with visual enticements that go straight at seducing the mind. Mrs White says it best in Letters to Young Lovers
“Those who would not fall a prey to Satan’s devices, must guard well the avenues of the soul; they must avoid reading, seeing, or hearing that which will suggest impure thoughts. The mind must not be left to dwell at random upon every subject that the enemy of souls may suggest. The heart must be faithfully shielded, or evils without,
will awaken evils within, and the soul will wander in darkness. Those who would have that wisdom which is from God must become fools in the sinful knowledge of this age, in order to be wise. They should shut their eyes, that they may see and learn no evil. They should close their ears,
lest they hear that which is evil and obtain that knowledge which would stain their purity of thoughts and acts.And they should guard their tongues, lest they utter
corrupt communications and guile be found in their mouths.” As with David His initial lust went from Adultery, to Murder to lying but thank God it also lead to repentance,
confession and A renewed commitment to the will of God with these words of sorrow he states “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your steadfast love; according to the multitude of Your tender mercy and loving-kindness blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalm 51:1-2
As A Child of the King we must forever stay focused while maintaining the mind and thoughts of Christ while continually sending our petitions to the good Shepard for strength through His Spirit for we must “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ep.6:11-13
My friends to try anything else besides God, in keeping your focus away from what the forces of evil Places in front of us in the world we live in today will be like bringing A knife to A gun fight, you will never be able to win that battle. But with Christ fighting each battle of the mind over the world oh Adultery, fornication or 
any sin that may beset us, Christ will never loose.
He showed us that 2000 years ago when Satan thought he had taken Christ to the limit of His faith not knowing Christ faith is limitless because He never lost focus of His goal which was Calvary, but each Child of God can walk in the same footsteps of Christ if our focus is steadfast, while always allowing our faith to be limitless in every situation and circumstances.
Yes my friends through Christ every battle was won for us at the cross, our journey has been set. but hope remains our choice either the world and destruction or Christ through His word and Spirit, eternal life, but choose you this day my friends because soon and very soon Christ will be returning to take all of His faithful Children to the promise land.
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
