Dear Friend,
I do not believe that ALL sex is of God. There was a time in my life however, that I thought in the privacy of my bedroom... "anything goes."
But since my relationship with my Savior has grown, I am "certain" that NOT all sexual (verbal and/or physical) behavior for married couples is of God. Even in the bedroom we are to be godly role models for our children.
It is very possible to invite the "enemy" behind closed doors with your spouse. Satan is a liar and a deceiver.
Galatians 5:17-21 says, "For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
We are also to practice the "Fruit of the Spirit" which is the character of Christ and in Galatians 5:22-26 it says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
Read and apply what Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
We are to bring honor and glory to our Lord Jesus Christ in "everything" we do. He is holy and we are to strive for holiness as well. So we need to ask ourselves, "Is what I am saying/doing glorifying Jesus Christ?"
In His service,
