Hearts and Flowers
A Prayer Word*
While our imperfect existence our beating heart sustains, our heart can only suffer from the sin it bears. Quit expressing love with sin and fornication. Pure worship of the true God means recognizing the Proverbial wisdom that the heart is a treacherous organism.
Fortunately, the true God reads this organ for us and will steer us away from fornication if we ask Him. He will also make it possible for us to resist what is irresistible to keep His commandments. This sin rich organ cannot contain the ways of the true God without dedicated study of the Bible and prayer to the true God for education. Even with years of education the heart will always be treacherous until sin is no more, in the true God's Kingdom.
Hear ye, courting couple. Have you met someone that you want to know you, and be accountable for your life before you have sex? Legal marriage does that. Legal marriage makes persons accountable for one another before the true God. To God a man must answer for how he treats his wife and a woman to her husband, likewise. When you meet someone, you want for a sexual partner, know for certain; the true God, with prayer, will help you conduct a courtship that does not involve fornication.
To remain celibate till marriage, have a direct conversation with your future partner (or date, potential partner) defining your boundaries. Boundaries are where physical attention to one another ends to avoid pushing one another into fornication. Where are your boundaries when close to one another so that your partner is not teasing you with sex?
Our world is heavily exposed to sex. We must discuss our expectations and the sexual activities that are agreeable before marriage. This is a candid discussion. If you do not possess the language of your genitals, penis, scrotum, testicles (male), anus (male and female), vagina, clitoris, and labial folds (female), you now have that language. That is not all that is engaged in a sexual act. Sex is an act of worship. Include God or you are including god. God brings a man and woman together in matrimony. Don't steal rewards that are God's to give by forcing fornication.
Treat one another with r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Two people might not be compatible based on their libido and personal boundaries for penetration and pleasure. What do you consider objectionable sexual acts? Not everyone enjoys the same types of contact. Not everyone tolerates penetration with the genitals for pleasure.
Know this, regardless of your constitution; contact with or penetration into the genitals, without matrimony, that is fornication, sexual fornication (religious fornication exists, too.) There is a clue here, if you do not want to have this conversation with someone, let them find another friend that would be a marriage mate. And an obvious suggestion, limit time alone. Keep it friendly, playful, happy, joyous, and whimsical. If you are not ready to jump into marriage, do not date. The endorphins of love are great for the brain. Fornication has nothing to do with love. Remember the true God is Love.
The dovecote is a word you discuss with God in prayer before dating. Use How to Get God to Talk to You to create your dovecote for protection. Saying this word is the same as saying that prayer. What you are doing, the true God knows. That does not mean He watches fornication, it enrages Him. It means do not doddle about saying a prayer when you are at risk for fornication.
If you are still reading, build a dovecote. (Mind you, mac personally does not believe a soul of this earth God can save if sexual fornication is not allowed. Men are weak slaves of the genitals from puberty on. If they cannot fuck it first, they run. Humanity is dead unless women are garbage. She feels distinctly like God's dog, kicked by God Himself, for making this writing effort. Hear mac complain to God, "This is pearls of wisdom before swine." God asks, "Did you feel My gauntlet?")
A dovecote is a safe word or gesture that does for a couple in a hot kiss what a dovecote on a building does to give the birds a place to roost. It is a high safe-haven to draw a breath but say; "I love you, I want to please you, but we are not married, and I am being pushed to my physical limit." When the air is pulsing with arousal, you had better be calling out that word or making that gesture that means "dovecote." Take a few minutes to cool down. Get married or end the date on a positive note in that moment, or find something to distract yourself with, so you can continue together free from fornication.
God will help you to worship Him. Not fornicating is a required way to demonstrate, you want the true God to shepherd you. The flowers? Each person needs to pray to the true God in "Jesus name," read the Bible and life will just keep getting better.
