Is divorce and remarriage allowed by God?
Matthew 19:3-8 Kjv
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Here we see that divorce is not a pleasing thing before God at all, because the Bible says what God has joined together, let no man put asunder. Thus marriage should not be broken except for the following circumstances mentioned in the Bible;
Matthew 19:9 Kjv
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
If one of the spouses is found in adultery then the bible allows it to leave such person and go to marry someone else, but if it is for any other reason other than adultery, let say quarrels, problems, troubles, misunderstandings, distress, diseases, etc. then the Bible does not permit any form of divorce at all, even if it does happen they fail to settle the matter and divorce took place, both couples are not allowed to re-marry thereafter, the Bible says everyone should stay as they are, unless they come to an agreement again, but anything else, outside of it, is considered adultery (Mark 10: 11-12).
The bible also says;
1 Corinthians 7:10-11 Kjv
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
So if something like this happened to one of them, being caught in adultery it is good to learn to forgive so that the marriage will not break up, God does not want divorce, because even the Lord Jesus Christ himself forgives us many times we commit spiritual adultery. should we not do more? but if you can’t bare it, not guilty to break it, the bible has allowed you to go and marry someone else of your choice but only in the Lord.
Take note; Adultery is also a part of Fornication, to learn more open here >>What is the difference between Fornication and adultery?
If it happens both of you were married before you became believers, but later one you became a believer while they are still in the marriage, and your spouse does not want to agree with your beliefs and decides to leave you, no longer wants to live with you, in such a case the bible allows you to marry someone else but only in the LORD !. But if it happens that such person in his state of unbelief agrees to live with you, should not leave him/her, if you leave them and go to marry someone else you will be COMMITTING ADULTERY! .
1 Corinthians 7:12-16 Kjv
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
Note, this divorce is only for those married couples before believing! The Bible does not give any permission for believers to divorce except it be for fornication, and the Bible as well does not give permit for a believer to marry an unbeliever! That’s wrong.
Therefore, as the scripture says in Hebrews 13:4 “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge”.
It is good for a person when you get married to know that it is a matter of honor, and faithfulness, and God does not approve of a couple divorcing for any reason! (Malachi 2:16). Remember once the marriage is solemnized! God always releases grace and additional blessings unlike someone who is not married, and when a marriage breaks down remember there are many disadvantages, including withholding some spiritual blessings,
Therefore lets married couples remain faithful in their marriage vows.
God bless you.

How long did it take for Noah to build an ark?
The Bible does not specify how long it took for the Noah to build an Ark. Some say it was 120 years old, according to Genesis 6:3,
” And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. “
However his argument can still don’t make sense. But the Bible also says that Noah begat his sons when he was 500 years old, (Genesis 5:32).And it says he entered the ark at the age of 600 years old, thus making a difference of 100 years , that gap between he probably used to build the ark, but also this argument has a few limitations.
In short, the Bible does not say how long it was built, so it is probably something that is not very important for us to know.
The important thing to know is that, If the first world was flooded with water for the wickedness of mankind, then this second world in which you and I live will also be flooded in the same way because of human evil. Yes it wont be flood by water since God had promised that will never happen again, but the same God promised that the world we are living now will be destroyed by fire.
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Sin such as adultery, corruption, hatred, intrigue, drunkenness, homosexuality, blasphemy, lust, abortion, theft and all others are what drowned the first world in the water. And that is what will drown the world we now live in.

How many children did Ibrahim have?
Ibrahim had total number of eight(8) children according to the bible, And all were men.
The first son was Ishmael, who was born to a concubine of his wife Sarah, named Hagar (Genesis 16: 1-4).
Second son, was Isaac (The son of promise), who was born 14 years later after the birth of Ishmael.
21 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. When Sarah died, Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. (Genesis 25: 1-2)
21 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
When Sarah died, Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. (Genesis 25: 1-2)
This Keturah is the one who When Sarah died, Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. (Genesis 25: 1-2)
This Keturah is the one who was born to Abraham with 6 other sons. To make the total number of Abraham’s children 8,
However the Bible does not say that he had daughters..
1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
1 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Of Abraham’s descendants, only Isaac was the heir. Other sons were given only gifts, but Isaac was given all, gifts as well as inheritance, because he was the son of the Promised One from God.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
In the same way, we can all become God’s people, created by God, but not all of us are God’s promised children in the likeness of Isaac. The sons of promise are those who have been born again (ie being saved). And these are the ones God has prepared everything to them, both rewards/gifts and inheritance of the kingdom of heaven.
So you and I should strive to be the sure we all children of promise..
Godbless.

What does mote and beam mean? (Matthew 7:3 )
A beam is a very large piece of wood, it can be a log, or a pillar, or any wide plank.
But a mote is a very tiny piece of wood, like a sand, even the dust of wood that is very hard to see is still a mote/speck.
Now the Lord Jesus gave that parable, to emphasize what He wanted to say, that is, in a normal situation, if you can’t see the pillar of wood standing in front of your eyes blocking you from seeing everything ahead, how will you be able to see the wooden dust in your partner’s eye?
See, without doubt, that is hypocrisy.
In the same way, before we judge people, let us examine our lives first. what they do, are we not doing them? Before you point finger to someone who is gossiping, be sure first those things are not in you? If not then it is better to keep quiet, because the verses above say, with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
May the Lord help us all to overcome that.

Who is Azazel/ scapegoat?
The word Azazel/scapegoat is mentioned only once in the bible, we read it in the book of Leviticus chapter 16.
Azazel was not a man or a priest but a goat set apart for the atonement of the sins of the children of Israel, was not slaughtered for sin like any other goat but was taken alive to the wilderness and abandoned there. such kind of goat is known by that name.
These instructions was given to the children of Israel by God, to be held on the great day of Atonement only once a year, on the 10th day of the seventh month of the Jewish calendar, when the High Priest went to atone for the sins of all the Jews
On that day no one was allowed to work, but to dwell in his house, tormenting himself with his own sins.
Now in this day the High Priest is first responsible for making atonement first for himself and for his people ( his households), and then he goes to make atonement for the sins of others, otherwise he will die.
After he has finished to make an atonement for his sins now he is ready to make atonement for the children of Israel, here he was commanded to take two goats from the congregation for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering (Leviticus 16:5), after which the high priest stood before the tabernacle and voted between the two goats.
Leviticus 16:7 KJV
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
When he has finished, one is taken for the burnt offering for the sins of all the people, then his blood was sprinkled in the tent of meeting and the altar, and the second one is not killed but rather the high priest puts both his hands on the horns of the goat (who is called Azazel) and then the priest confesses all the sins of children of Israel which they have committed against God, before the goat that stood before them, after which the goat is delivered to one man and then taken to the desert far away from the dwelling of the people and get abandoned there. Then due to that act the iniquity of Israel is covered.
21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: 22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
It is a complete picture we see in the New Testament, Christ as our Azazel took our sins and all our accusations, was crucified outside the city, was counted as Nothing for us. And through him our sins are blotted out, unlike the goat who in the coming year should be given another… How happy you are to be redeemed by Christ,. If you have been forgiven of your sins, you have been forgiven indeed.
Hallelujah.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Kjv
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Christian mission to go into all nations and make disciples is likened to the activities of soldiers on a battlefield. The soldiers launch an ambush to attack the Enemy’s camp by surprise; without their knowledge. Having destroyed the whole camp and taken some captive,the soldiers plunder the Enemy’s goods.
Likewise, as we go out to win souls,we are not supposed to make any treaty or agreement with the enemy nor seek counsel with him.All we have to do is to attack the enemy’s camp and lead captivity captive.
Wherever we are,and whatever we are doing ,it is our responsibility to tell others about Jesus.With great courage and intrepidity of mind,get to work.We can’t leave it to chance that someone else will do it for us.For amid the Enemy’s camp are many who are captive.Though sure enough that he will be defeated,the enemy will try to fight back,but we as the soldiers of Christ should stand in the hottest place of the battle and sustain the whole fire of the enemy.
Utilize every available chance in preaching the Good news. If you meet a sick person,pray for them that they may get well.In the same way,when you encounter a demon-possessed person, use the opportunity to rebuke and drive the demons out of them so they may be free.Thereafter,tell them about Jesus.
Let not anything deter you from teaching and preaching the gospel.Factors like age,education,status,fame,way of dressing,among others should not scare you. Don’t compromise on anything, whether the person is your leader,or your teacher, or you’ve just met for first time,preach to them fearlessly. You have been furnished with “weapons mighty through God to pulling down of strongholds.” Remember, there are many whose lives were changed through people who have never been to school. All you need to do is to put on God’s amour and get to work.
The very power by which you were changed is the same that will change others.Until you came to believe and obey the gospel, God used his servant to lead you to liberty,and so you became a slave to righteousness through Christ. He then gave you the grace to serve him in the newness of life.The gift given unto you is a weapon by which you are to win more souls for him.
Ephesians 4: 7-8 Kjv
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
All who have accepted Jesus are indebted to him in everything. It is our responsibility to share the gospel with others so they may be changed.We are to actively take the gospel to all people,whether in the villages,schools, hospitals, prisons,within the country or in foreign countries. Don’t hesitate in fulfilling your purpose to make disciples. God has promised to be with you:
Matthew 28:18-20 Kjv
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
God is faithful and as he has promised in his Word,so it shall be.He will be with you until the end of times.But this will only be if we will go into all nations and make them disciples of the Lord.May the Lord of all power and grace help us to trust him.
Our motive should not be on gaining fame or getting money,but to pass along to others the kindnesses shown to us.We are to be faithful in our mission,knowing that we have a reward kept for us in heaven. Seek God’s erring children lone and lost,and help lead them to the place of safety.Christ is coming soon(quickly).
Revelation 22:12-13 Kjv
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

LEARN GOD’S COMMITMENT AND HOSPITALITY.
CLOUD OF WITNESSES, (BRETHRENS)
We believe that Jesus Christ is the God manifested in human flesh for the purpose of man’s redemption, and he is the Alpha and Omega (Rev.22: 13).
We believe Brother William Branham is the messenger of God to our generation, sent as the Prophet of this generation and his ministry fulfills a prophecy given by the prophet Malachi.
Malachi 4: 5-6 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse”
William Branham fulfilled Malachi 4: 6b. And Brother Branham also fulfills John’s prophecy concerning the 7th Angel, on Revelation 3:14 & 10: 7
So with all our hearts, we firmly believe that He is the Messenger of the last church that we are living now (i.e Laodicean church), and there will be no other church after this, so there will be no other messenger after this one.
We do not believe that William Branham is God or Jesus. To do so is to cultivate idolatry, and to equate man with God, which is an abomination in his sight and blasphemy.
We believe in inner and outer holiness, and that, it is the duty of every Christian to live a holy life according to the Word of God as it is written in the Holy Bible.
We believe in zealously preaching the message of the last days, and baptizing people in the correct baptism, by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ according to (Acts 2:38, 8: 16,10: 48 and 19: 5).
We also believe that we are living in the last days, and Our Lord Jesus Christ will appear soon.

WHAT IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL?
Let’s read that verse…
Acts 27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
If you quickly jump into this verse You would think Paul meant he was worshipping that angel who is always walking with him, but if you read closely you will be noticed he never meant that… rather he worships the God of that angel.
For better understanding we can put that word like this.For there stood by me this night the angel of God… Which God?…The God (of that angel) whom I serve.
Now read again that statement plainly you will grab the meaning…
Furthermore, we are advised to study the bible diligently, so we can understand the word the God wants us to understand. Because there also many other verses which are hard to understand unless we are willing to sit down and ask the Holy Spirit for the interpretation. By doing so the holy spirit surely help us with the correct interpretations, and therefore we will win Satan from misleading us.
he succeeded to mislead many people in wrong interpretations from canonizing drinking of alcohol to polygamy marriages in the church and even going further to idol worshipping.
May the grace of God help us.

THE BOOK OF LIFE.
What is the book life, how are our names written in that book?
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Amen! Following the above verses, we see in the last day of Judgment when the Lord Jesus sits to judge the people of the world in His white throne, there will be two main types of books: THE BOOK OF LIFE and the OTHER BOOKS. There you see the book of life looking like one! But there are also other books, suggesting many, Lets briefly explore what these books really are;1) BOOK OF LIFE:As it describes itself is a book that describes LIFE, just as a book of mathematics describes mathematical methods, a book of geography explains geographical issues as well as all other books. And we know books tend to be split into different pages. But we see all these books we have in the world are only telling us the principles and techniques of many things about this world, and we see that no book in the world can explain the LIFE of man except the Bible ONLY! So, the book of life referred to here is the Bible which is the WORD of GOD.2) OTHER BOOKSWe find the Bible has referred to them as many, which in turn tell some information and not any more than of human beings according to the Bible. These are the BOOKS of men and every man has his own, describing his life as he lived on this earth since his birth to his death. And these books also have pages, which are the steps you go through here on earth, but all these books have no life in it, the book of Life is, but one, and that is why they all depend on that book to give a human destiny.
So what the book of Life describes is the rules and regulations of how a man should live on this earth in order to get that life embedded in it, so as human beings who write books of our lives we must write them to resemble that book of Life, the Bible, from our childhood to our departure from the world. our books are supposed to resemble this book, and that is the appearance of our names in the BOOK OF LIFE.So brother, how do you write your book? watch the time’s running out! do not say that I will receive Christ or that I will live a holy life until I reach a certain age or experience something. Know until now your book is being written and day by day you are opening a new pages and chapters, soon your book will be finish and closed, ready to be released on the day of Judgement And on the Day of Judgment the book of Life will be opened and yours will also be opened, compared, whether they are the same or not!. If your life in your book did not match that of that of life (i.e. the Bible, the WORD OF GOD) meaning there is NO LIFE in you, then your part will be in the lake of fire.
As a Christians every day we must compare our lives with the Bible. Make sure what we do is in accordance with the Book of Life. you are fully aware that prostitutes, fornicators, drunkards, revilers, idolaters, liars, gossipers, gays, lesbians, smokers, masturbation practitioners, pornographers, thieves, corrupters, sorcerers, bribes, murderers, etc., people like these are far from the book of LIFE, how do you expect to appear in the book if you do of those things?, remember the names mentioned there are not John, John or Mary but it is your life. read.
Revelation 21:27 (KJV)
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
To write correctly your book according to the book of life, remember it is not a one-day process. Every day one must check his life, not despise the gospel, if you hear the Word of God tonight, don’t harden your heart thinking there will come a time you will repent. If you live that life Never expect the match in one day, it requires life to live so that to write a better book which resemble that of life. The Lord said.
Luke 9:23 (NIV)
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
My prayer is that you turn to God.Start writing your book well in your spare time on earth, daily comparing your book with thebible so that when your name called, will be seen in that book.
God bless you!

WHAT DOES SPIRITUAL FORNICATION MEAN?
Is masturbation a sin?. And what about marrying? is it a solution for burning?, as the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 7:9 “ But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn”.
ANSWER: The Lord Jesus said that he that looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her in his heart. The sentence shows that sin does not originate from the body but originates from the heart, so sex also originates from the heart, then from the heart and then from the outside, so whatever is done in the body is the result of something already done in the soul, so fornication, masturbation, watching pornography it is the result of immorality that has already taken place in one’s heart.
Therefore MASTURBATION IS A SIN. And the only solution to get rid of that sin is to truly give your life to the Lord Jesus, and resolve to start a new life in Christ, and decide to stop practicing it no more.
, .. they wait for miracles to come and find themselves abandoned and still in their hearts are not turning away from sexual immorality … I want to tell you my God-searching brother, There is no prayer to get rid of that stuff in any person, in order for those things to go away, it is you to decide first to make a decision to stop those things and then the Lord will add you the power to overcome those things. Remember, the Bible says that all prostitutes are part of a lake of fire. And also about marrying the Bible is made clear in the book of
1 Corinthians 7: 1 “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”
1 Corinthians 7: 1 “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”
If you read carefully, verse 2 says “in order to avoid fornication” let every man should have his own wife … not because of avoiding lusts… but because of fornication… and fornication means having sex outside of marriage or before marriage, which means that, having a wife or husband does not prevent a person from developing a desire/lust … if one’s behavior is to desire/lust! That behavior will not stop even If he/she gets married … maybe he/she will avoid fornication only after he gets married because he will have his own wife/husband inside! But the desire to lust does not change.
So the only solution to stop the lust for the unmarried or married individual, is to surrender your life to Christ, and intend to give up sin,/ to leave sin by deeds..(remember God cannot help a person who has not purposely given up the wrong thing).
But if one intends to give up the desire to lust,and all the promiscuity, immorality, pornography, insults, words of worthless jokes, then the Holy Spirit comes upon him/her and helps him/her and thus finds that things never bother her again in his/her life..
Be blessed!
