6-OVERCOMING SEXUAL SIN, Friends, Family, and Ministers (Part #6)
This powerful life changing destiny altering series on "Overcoming Sexual Sin" is narrated and annotated by Sr Archbishop Louis Lupo. The series originates from the Oracles of THE LORD by ELIJAH, the Mega Prophet of God. The Message sends a searing rebuke to the present-day church kidnapped by sexual sin, and yet provides restorative solutions to Christians longing to separate out from the moral decay of this world, longing to be released form the prison of sexual sin.
No one could ever teach this type of Message anywhere on earth owing to the shortage in the House, before ELIJAH arrived. I could have started this glorious expedition with other anointed holy teachings, but this one is really needed by the church in the USA, and sets the table to feast on the river of delights from Heaven.
Psalm 36:7-9
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
Prepare the Way, the Messiah is coming!

THE CHURCH HAS TOLERATED SEXUAL SIN
The church has tolerated sexual sin. The dressings that are scanty, the dressings that actually propagate the spirit of lust in the church have been tolerated. They say, “No this is a modern church.” The youth keshas are not different from the worldly discos. That is how much and condoms are been picked from the church compounds in the morning. That is how much the church has tolerated sexual sin. And yet God spoke death to sexual sin. Death! Death!—He is saying don’t tolerate this one here. And so you see that the enemy has hidden the truth from the church regarding sexual sin and that’s why the Lord is saying here one of the keys He is giving here is that if you are my disciples, the truth will set you free. You will receive the truth and the truth will set you free.
John 8:35-36
And listen to what He says further on here, “I tell you the truth, anyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever” Then He says 36 “36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Which means whoever has been set free by the Lord is surely free indeed; nobody should ever lie to you again that, “O you are tempted here.” If you have received freedom, surely you are freed forever now! The Lord is talking about the freedom that you receive when you discover the truth. And let me bring you to another level.
John 14:1-6
In the Book of John chapter 14 verses 1 to 6, the Lord Jesus is answering Thomas and He says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” So you begin to understand the truth He’s talking about here. And later on in John chapter 14 He continues by saying, “When I live the Counselor, the Holy Spirit will come. He is the Spirit of truth; ascends to the Father, I will send you the promise that the Father gave you—the promise of He, the Person of the Holy Spirit. And He is the Spirit of Truth. He will convict the world of the sin in the world. And so when you hear that the truth will set you free you understand that that is a very deep meaning there.
Jesus is the Truth. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and yet the Holy Spirit when He came down, actually the Spirit of Christ came back as the Holy Spirit so He can be in many places at the same time. So you begin to understand that the Holy Spirit is actually the Spirit of Christ coming to many places at the same time to set you free, somebody. That’s why He says, when you pray in my Name I will send you the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth.
So the truth really sets you free. And the other thing He is asking you to do in this Scripture here is to be able to have wisdom because the truth will teach you one thing that when you are in sexual sin, actually you are in slavery; because He is saying, “I tell you the truth anyone who sins is a slave to sin.” So He is asking you to receive wisdom so you can be able to recognize that falling to sexual sin is actually slavery. You are being enslaved. And if you recognize that, you will break from it, you receive your freedom and then you will break from the chains of sexual sin.
Hallelujah; mighty, mighty Jesus! What a mighty King. He gave us solutions to everything here so actually there is no excuse for sexual sin to be in the church. The church should be the rod of God. The Christians should be the rod of God guiding the nations and bringing correction to the nations. Hallelujah; remember the story of the Prodigal Son, the Lost Son. When he came to himself and realized that actually he was in slavery—pig feeding, and then his freedom arrived. There is no way we can receive freedom from sexual sin and slavery if we still feel it’s a normal way of life, if it’s a normalcy in church.
The Lord is asking us to be able to recognize that this is slavery. That’s why you see in the Book of Proverbs the woman that was coming as sexual sin inviting the men saying, “Look I have dressed my bed with linen from Egypt the land of slavery.” So it’s very important for us to be able to recognize that actually sexual sin is slavery.
Addicted to Sexual Sin
That’s why you see that a lot of people are addicted. A lot of people get so much addicted to sexual sin and they cannot get out. Even pornography, they cannot get out of there. They get addicted so much to many other things and they even relate it to alcohol, and drugs and everything else. And so that means the only way out actually will come from you realizing the fall—that you have fallen. That’s why the Lord is saying, “Grieve. You are supposed to grieve because the worst form of sexual immorality not even found among the heathen is seen among you Christians. You are supposed to grieve having realized you have fallen to the rock bottom and you are in slavery.”
And that’s what the Lord is asking from us. He’s asking us to realize the slavery in sexual sin. Now I want you to understand that there is no pleasure in sexual sin. But there is death in sexual sin. So it’s extremely critical that you realize that you are entering death like the Lord says, “That highway leads to the grave.” So it’s very, very important that you realize the fall and that’s the only way out. And He says that the truth will set you free. And the truth is that sexual sin is slavery and death.
Setting You Free from Sexual Sin
Let’s go into something else too that will set you free from sexual sin. The Book of Genesis chapter 2; let’s see some very important key that will set you free from sexual sin in the Book of Genesis. Genesis chapter 2 verses 24 and 25. I read from 23, he said the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both naked and they felt no shame.” I want you to understand that marriage was created by God.
As a matter of fact let’s just be very open here: Marriage and the act of sex was created by God. Yes, so I want you to understand that there is nothing evil about it. The only time when it becomes evil is when sin gets involved; in other words the Lord ordained that when you get married to your wife, yes, it’s ok, now you can go into a sexual relationship. And that’s why He says that they were both naked but man and woman did not feel ashamed towards each other.
And just as a prayer of making you understand this deeper, I want you to understand that the devil took that and placed death into it and used it to bring death now—that which God created. So it’s very critical you understand that the Lord has ordained that when the rightful partner comes to you, “Yes, it’s well and it’s clean and it’s holy in His eyes.” So it’s very important that all of you in the church whoever is planning to get married that you do it under the Word of the Lord, under the Blood of Jesus so it is a holy union, a holy matrimony where there is no shame, there is no guilt. If you start feeling guilt then there is sin in that relationship.
And so you see that the Lord Himself says the two become one flesh. That means you unite your thoughts, unite everything in a sexual relationship ordained by God. And that is very critical because the beginning of man going out of marriage, women going out of marriage comes out of the lack of trust in marriages. That is what the devil uses to open the door to sexual sin in a marriage. And in this country he has used that door to bring also death through HIV AIDS and many other ways. And I had to mention that because that is very critical. So the Lord is ordained already a formal way in which you can relate with a woman.
James 1:13-15
The Book of James chapter 1 verses 13 to 15. And look at what he says about temptations and sexual sin and lust. Again I’m saying James chapter 1 verses 13 to 15. He says, “When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me,’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, the desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and the sin, when it is fullgrown, gives birth to death.”
So the Lord is speaking to us very clearly that our own evil desires are the gateway. This is the truth that will set you free from sexual sin. Remember you always go into sexual sin and again of course I’m talking about where you are going out into sexual sin because you have opened the door, you have allowed it, you have gone towards it, you have contributed to it. You are completely responsible. And that’s what he’s telling us here. He is saying, “Be very careful because God does not bring any temptation of that nature to you. But it’s your own evil desires that entice you. And then they drag you into desire and that desire will conceive give birth to sin that will give birth to death.”
And so the Lord is very clear about this. The Lord is asking us to recognize that it is us that have the key. Where there is a will there is going to be a way. If you are willing to receive the Holy Spirit then definitely you can get out of sexual sin. And again if you are willfully going towards sexual desires of your heart, sinful desires of your heart, you are going to fall into sexual sin. You are responsible. The Lord has given you the freedom. That’s the freedom He talks about when He said in the beginning that “everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial to you.”
The Truth Will Set You Free
So again the truth will set you free here. And the truth is that you contribute towards your getting involved in sexual sin. This is a very important key that will shut down sexual sin in your life—everyone listening today. You cannot say that those women used to come and sit there. They were not well dressed. They were dressed naked. So I fell in. No you have the key. You have the power to rebuke, to get out. You have the power to say, “Not in this House of the Lord.” You have the power even to tell your wife, “Don’t bring those Christian friends of yours that dress and make me feel whatever.” You have power; you have the will. You can shut the door. You can close that door forever.
The Lord has given you power to close that door! Let us go to the Book of 1 John chapter 2 verse 15; 1 John chapter 2 verses 15 to 17, somebody, he says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.”
So one of the biggest keys, the biggest secrets that you could use to shut down the doors to sexual sin is to fail to love the world—to completely refuse to love the world; to completely reject the world. What is the world? The first part of the world is your flesh and then the rest of what you see out there. He is saying everything that you see is popular to the world, reject those things. Don’t love those things. Jesus did not love those things of the world. Jesus was actually separated from the world.
He separated from the world. So if they had things that are popular that people are running to, he is telling you here, “Be cautious now. I want you to overcome the things of the world; the sin of the world the way Jesus did. And the only way Jesus did was to receive the Holy Spirit and separate from the world.” So the best secret you have here is to reject the world and then begin to love the things of the Spirit and the world in Greek is cosmos, cosmetics, cosmopolitan, cosmetics, they are flashy, they are beautiful, they are seductive, like the Father says, “Reject those things. Look deeper and look for the Lord in those things.” , I like this, I like this,” He is saying be careful of those things the devil is flashing at you. There is death in those things there. The Lord Jesus lived a very self-controlled life under the control of the Holy Spirit. He rejected the world. When He finished He did not say, “I have enjoyed the world.” He said, “I have overcome the world.” When the angel came to Gideon, Gideon had to bring him bread without yeast, untasty, not tasty at all. And yet the world would reject that kind of holy bread.
The world will want a different kind of bread, the sweet bread that you eat—the normal loaf which actually is like the Father said, if you go into sexual sin your life becomes like a loaf, rotting very quickly tomorrow. Let us look at Galatians chapter 5 verses 16 to 22; again Galatians chapter 5 and so today you begin to understand that there is so much power that you can use to actually fight sexual sin. So surely there is no excuse that the Christians should fall into sexual sin. So the Lord has given us so much power in the Word. How I have been doing the whole of this night is unveiling for you the power that is embedded in the Living Word of God that you can take and use to close the door to sexual sin which is actually death.
Galatians 5:16-24
Galatians chapter 5 beginning verses 16 to 24, he says, “So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature, they are in conflict with each other, so that they do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” 19 he says, “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality,” number 1 he puts there is sexual immorality “…impurity…debauchery; idolatry…witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish, ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
So the Lord is relating sexual sin with inheriting the Kingdom of God in Heaven. So the Lord is telling you very clearly here that if you are in sexual immorality, then you are still operating within the sinful nature. But yet you see that the Lord is speaking to us very clearly that the sinful nature is what He crucified on the cross. And as Christians having received the Lord, being baptized, died, been buried with the Lord in the baptism, resurrected with the Lord, you should not be wearing the sinful nature anymore.
That means actually you cannot inherit the Kingdom of God if you are locked in sexual sin because our God is a holy God. Jehovah Yahweh is very holy. And He is speaking very clearly here in verse 24 actually, somebody. Verse 24 He says, “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.” That means if you surely belong to the Lord you must have crucified the sinful desires of your flesh.
There is no way in the church there should be sexual sin. Sexual sin belongs to the sinful desires. So if the church contains Christians they must have crucified or they are crucifying and not a rampant sexual sin that you see in the church. Something is wrong! Something is wrong!
So the Lord is very clear about inheriting the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of the Lord is a very holy Kingdom—Holy, Holy. And yet the Lord has given you very precious keys that we are going through here. We’ve gone through a lot of them right now. And those keys give you complete power and authority to take authority over your personal life and give your life to Jesus and close the door—you close the door to sexual sin completely.
For example he says if you are walking in holiness and yet your friends they are walking in sexual sin, in the Book of 2 Corinthians he is very clear in chapter 6 he tells very clearly verse 14 that “What does righteousness have to do with wickedness?” So disconnect; don’t agree to be unequally yoked even if you are a pastor and you know you are walking with some kingdom of darkness; some other religion priests from the darkness like you know we were talking about other religions. He is saying disconnect from those priests. Don’t be in the same fellowship with them because we are going to inherit the Kingdom of God only by separating from darkness.
And again the Book of 1 Timothy now chapter 4 beginning verse 1 to 2 and he says, “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” The true teaching; the true writings of the Lord in the Bible tell us very, very clearly that Jehovah God has spoken death to sexual sin. And we have seen very clearly that the Lord has presented a zero-tolerant state towards sexual sin. And we see here that the same God who saved Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah within the torment of the pervasion and the filth in those cities, He is promising to come and save you. So He is asking you to persevere. So surely let us stick to the Word of the Lord—the true teachings of the Lord that sexual sin will separate us from the rapture, from the Kingdom of God.
Hallelujah; Hallelujah; the Book of Ephesians now I am rushing a bit because I want to look at the next phase—resisting sexual temptation; How to Resist. And again the Book of Ephesians chapter 4 verses 17 to 24. And this is what he is saying; now I am talking about sensitivity. That’s why the Lord said you cannot even use the same tongue that you use for worshipping Him in Ephesians 5, you cannot use that tongue for coarse sexual jokes in your office or wherever you are, even in the church. He said, “17… I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and are separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. “19 Having lost all sensitivity,” Listen to me somebody, “19Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality.” Sensuality is the beginning of sexual sin—sensual, sensualism, the sensory nerves, feelings, the flesh having given into sensuality; “so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with the continual lust for more.”
Sensitivity in the Spirit
Let me read it bit by bit. He says, “So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.” Look at 19, “Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with the continual lust for more.” So he’s talking about the need for you; one of the main keys; one of the main keys that you see embedded in the Bible here for you to shut down the doors to sexual immorality is that you should begin developing sensitivity to the Holy Spirit—sensitivity to the Spirit; sensitivity to the ways of God; so you do not fall to sensuality.
Be sensitivity. Ask yourself, “This thing I am going to do, is it right? This phone call I am going to make is that right? This SMS I’m sending or receiving is it right?” And then once you are sensitive then you are able to detect and block. And now listen to something here that will help you. Verse 20 he says, “20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 And surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
So look at one of the main keys here that you can use to shut the door, to lock the door to sexual sin. He is telling you that you need to develop sensitivity and get rid of sensuality, sensory, feelings, flesh. And one of the other things he is giving you here today as you listen to this, many people one time I remember told me, “O we did not even know that it is possible to live in holiness because we were told that that was Jesus. You cannot be like Jesus. That was Jesus. Do you think you can be like Jesus?”
You Can Walk in True Righteousness and Holiness
But I have news for you today; the Word of God, the Living Word of God I am reading here today says that you can be made into a new creation when you receive the Lord to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. You can live. Actually it’s possible to live in complete holiness and righteousness. Nobody should tell you “O you see the world is so hard these days. We are all falling. All men have fallen.” No you can be able to live in complete true righteousness in the likeness of God. That is the key you can use to close the door even to all sin. And he says, “…and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Verse 24 here somebody, “…and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness” not false but true, true righteousness “…and holiness.”
Prepare the Way, the Messiah is coming!
