7-OVERCOMING SEXUAL SIN, Friends, Family, and Ministers (Part #7)
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!

You can live in complete true righteousness and holiness of God in the likeness of God.
You can live in complete true righteousness and holiness of God in the likeness of God. He has given you power through the Holy Spirit. Nobody should ever lie to you. Hallelujah; so now we have come to a point where now within your fight when you are dealing with sexual sin you begin to understand that actually you can live in true holiness and righteousness which means you can get rid of that sexual sin. You don’t have to be enslaved.
God has given you keys here. He says there is a new person that comes into you when you receive Jesus and the Holy Spirit touches you and begins to sanctify you.
So he’s again speaking very clearly here, be not lied to. If you see the state of sexual sin in the church right now, that is a lie that has entered the church. They say, “No it’s ok. Just tolerate it.” If you ask them, “How come you’ve not cleaned up this sexual sin going on here?” “No but all churches are like that.” “But how come you are in that church and there is sexual sin at the pulpit, at the altar and all the way in the congregation.” “But where will I go. All have fallen.” That is a lie! And that is a lie because God says here there is a new nature that comes into the church after receiving Jesus and been Anointed of the Holy Spirit. And that new nature actually gives you the complete capacity to live in true, not in fake, true righteousness and holiness.
That means even the tongues you speak in the church will be true tongues not the ones of the lies, but the true tongues coming from the Holy Spirit so you can live in complete righteousness and holiness as a child of God. So the main key that you are seeing here today in this segment I am giving you here if you were making notes at home, sensitivity, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit; sensitivity in the Spirit, so you know that which will grieve Jesus when you do so you don’t fall into sensuality, sensational. And he says also that actually it is possible to live in complete holiness. So you begin to strive and God will help you. He will strengthen you and so you can live in complete righteousness and holiness in the likeness of God.
Hallelujah; we are going into the last segment now. And the last segment is: Resisting Sexual Temptations. How do you resist sexual temptation, I’ve told you how you can close the doors? But now we are going to see how will you resist daily temptations. And having seen the main keys in fighting sexual sin, one of the main keys I have just told you is sensitivity—to be sensitive to the things you are doing about the Spirit; things you are doing in your life. And being sensitive means not hardening your heart. And it means also avoiding sensuality and then he talks very clearly here, he says actually by the way, for your own information it is possible. I have equipped you with the capability to live to the true righteousness and holiness of the likeness of God.
That is a deep revelation that actually can help you to close the door to sexual sin— finished because our Lord is holy; our Father is holy; the Holy Spirit is holy and so the TriUnity of God is holy. And yet he says you can live to the same righteousness and holiness of God. Hallelujah; never again sexual sin in the church. And remember these teachings the Lord will use to build a case against you if you ever fall back. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus.
James 4:4-10 Friendship with the world hatred towards God.
Hallelujah; worthy is the Lamb of God. We really appreciate you Jesus; the Book of James chapter 4 now we have entered a new segment on Resisting Sexual Temptation. And we are looking from the verses 1 to 10 and actually I want to look from verse 4 to 10. He says, “4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred towards God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy to God.” And he says, “5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So you see one of the keys towards getting yourself redeemed out of sexual sin is humbleness.
You can imagine David the king, David the anointed, David the prophet, David the shepherd, David the warrior. David was very powerfully anointed by God and yet when he fell to sexual sin he had to humble himself down to square zero and begin crying to God saying, “Please remove this heart from me and give me a new heart—a heart that will follow you.” Verse 7 says, “7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” So one of the key things is surely complete submission to the Lord—are you submitted to the Lord in your sexual sin?
And so you begin to understand you cannot say, “Well, I have struggled for a long time and I have not being delivered from sexual lust.” The Bible says very clearly here; the Word of God says move closer to God and submit yourself totally. That means complete submission— our God is a very perfect God. Do you know the true meaning of complete submission? That is obedience to the Holy Spirit. And so he says, “8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.” Hallelujah; “7 Submit yourselves, to God and then resist the devil,” resist the devil. Look at that and then he will flee from you. The devil will run away. That is the promise that the Lord has given.
When the Lord Jesus in Matthew 4 resisted the devil, the devil flee from the Lord Jesus. And He is promising you the same thing—move closer to God. Submit to God, resist the devil, the devil will flee from you. So you begin to understand that complete submission is important. But look at this now; look at what he says here further, He says, “Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” Hallelujah; again I’m talking verse 8 part b. And now listen to something very important those that are locked in sexual sin, sexual temptation. He says, “9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter into mourning and your joy into gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
The Lord will lift you from sexual temptation every single morning—once you change your laughter into mourning; once you begin to grieve based on what you are going through in sexual lust; once you begin to feel sad about it; once you recognize this is a problem and you come before the Lord and humble yourself, He is going to lift you up off the temptation.
So one of the biggest ways of fighting sexual temptation as a Christian out there is number one to resist the spirit of lust; resist the spirit of immorality; resist and the devil will flee from you. And in the same Scripture we’ve seen that when you humble yourself, you turn your laughter into mourning, and you humble yourself, humble, humble is critical there. Then the Lord is now able to lift you up off that temptation.
1 Peter 5:6-11 Humble yourself.
And let us look at the Book of 1 Peter chapter 5 verses 6 to 11; look at what he is saying here. He repeats the same thing. He says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” God is going to lift you up, out of that temptation every single day once you are humble. And look at what he says in verse 7 which was one of the biggest keys for fighting sexual temptation on a daily basis, look at that; He says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” So you may be anxious that, “Look I seem to be addicted now. I am in an addiction here.” You have a fear. But he says, “Cast your anxiety on him.” And He is going to be able to help you out of this. He cares. The Bible says He cares.
So surely if the Lord, the Living God who lives day-in, day-out cares about you living your life day-in, day-out, He surely is going to lift you out of that situation. This is one of the main keys to fight sexual temptation every day because He cares and He has promised here that He cares—He will lift you out of it. And look at what He says beautifully in verse 8, he says, “Be self controlled and alert.” That means when you pray today and you are able to overcome sexual lust, sexual immorality, the spirit of lust; if you are able to overcome that spirit today, it does not mean tomorrow is free. He says, “Be self-controlled and alert” be alert because tomorrow look at what he says further on, “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith because you know that your brothers” Hallelujah; “…throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
Now listen to this, the devil is always coming back like a prowling lion trying to devour you. But he’s telling you there is power in knowing that God is going to help you and be self controlled and be alert. Don’t just sit there. Be self-controlled and be alert, “What are the things that the devil is always using to bring sexual temptation to me? Is it the secretary that walks in every day? Ok if I realize there is a woman that comes here every day to talk to my secretary and that woman talking to my secretary in the evening every day is not well-dressed, I will try to avoid that time when she comes in.”
Be self controlled and be alert.
Be self controlled and be alert. And he’s also telling you very, very clearly here that you should know you are not the only one. Many of your brothers, the brethren all over the world are going through the same thing. So you should know that you know what, it is a battle. It is a fight. We are in this fight. They are not giving up. Why should I give up? And knowing that you are not the only one going through it, then you can now fight the good fight for the Lord. So you should not think that, “O this is me. I am not blessed. This thing is happening to me. I’m going to give up. I want to give up.”
No you should not give up. Know that everyone is going through, and when you look at now those that have overcome it that should be a source of inspiration to you as a Christian. That’s why it’s very important to develop groups of young men—accountability groups that you can meet together. You can pray. You can share the feelings—what you went through today. And they can pray with you, depending on different levels of faith. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful. It reaches the throne of God. One of you there may touch the throne of God for you. So you develop groups, even married men; meeting groups—have church groups of accountability and help each other out, because you are all going through this. There is power in working together as brethren under the Blood of Jesus.
Hallelujah; and remember that the Lord who called you to the Christian walk is more than able to support you and sustain that walk in you for as long as you are willing until the Day of the Lord. Do you think there is an evil spirit that can defeat the Holy Spirit of Jehovah? The answer is no! But then the Lord has also allowed you to go through this on a daily basis so you can be able to know that you depend on Him on a daily basis. So this is a very good situation for you now to learn to depend on Jehovah to tell Him, “Lord without you I would not have managed my daily walk.” So you can be on your knees on every day basis. Otherwise, the way I look at you Christians if He removes that problem from you, you would soon forget about God.
And so it is a very important way of really getting close to God because He is helping you on a daily basis to fight the temptations. He is telling you, “Please humble yourself. But remember that I called you into this walk. And I have more than enough power to see you on a daily basis through it until you are through—until the Day of the Lord.” It is just like being woken up every morning. He wakes you up every morning. He never gets tired. He gives you air to breathe every morning. He never gets tired, somebody look at this.
And so verse 10 he says, “And…God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, he will himself restore you and make you strong, firm…steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” Look at the main key here: In resisting sexual temptation on a daily basis as a Christian, you know that the Lord has promised that, “Just hang in there. I will make you strong. After a short while I will come and lift you up restore you and I will deliver you.” He has promised deliverance in a short while.
Hallelujah; Hallelujah; on a daily basis; look at that He has promised that just hang in there in a short while you will see my delivering power. To me this is the most powerful way to actually overcome sexual sensation, temptation and lust on a daily basis. Even in your family life with your wife, if you have some problems of lust and immorality remember one thing that the Lord is more than capable to carry you on, on a daily basis. And then one day the level of Anointing Ezekiel 47 somebody; one day the level of Anointing gets to a level where now the flesh has succumbed to the Spirit—has been subdued.
2 Timothy 2:22 Don't give up!
So the Lord is telling you there is hope. Don’t give up. What you need to do is to have faith to know that He has promised you that first of all He is going to help you on a daily basis. And secondly very soon, just hang in there; don’t give up. You are not the only one going through this. Very soon He is coming to deliver you. 2 Timothy chapter 2 verse 22, resisting sexual temptation on a daily basis; Hallelujah; look at what he says in 2 Timothy chapter 2:22, you can read the whole 2 Timothy somebody at home but then for the sake of time we are reading verse 22 of 2 Timothy chapter 2. He says, “Flee the evil desires of your youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
So he is telling you; Hallelujah this is awesome—flee from the desires of your youth, from sexual desires, sexual desires of your youth—flee from them. And then together with brethren you can be able to pray living in peace and love. You can be able to overcome these things on a daily basis. He says flee. That means once you live self-controlled and alert you can be able to sense on a daily basis what you don’t want to get involved in; what conversation you don’t want to get involved in at work, in the office, at home, in the church, what kind of people you don’t want to associate with. He says flee from the youthful desires which is the sexual desires that you had in the youthful nature.
And again I told you it’s very important for the married man if you are locked into some kind of sexual immorality year-in, year-out. It is not healthy for you. You can form groups of married men in church—accountability groups; that’s how it’s called. And you account to each other and say, “For me today I went and I really found out for example I was not attracted to my sex anymore.” You see you are beginning to pray and you are praying for each other and there is power in corporate prayer and fasting, and going to the mountain and all those things.
Hallelujah; not look at the Book of James chapter 5 verse 16; how to resist sexual temptation on a daily basis. Verse 16 of James chapter 5 says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” Pray “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” Now listen to this—this is the effective group I’m talking about. This is the accountability group I’m talking about. You can share with them. You can meet together and tell them you know what I have this problem brethren can you pray for me today? And many people, praying for you, calling your name to Jesus. You are praying for them and you are corporately walking together. And you are stronger. You are more protected because you are seeing things according to the eyes of the Holy Spirit. When one person drifts away there is correction. You can pray for them. You can call them. You can tell them according to Scripture— this is wrong. On a daily basis you can defeat sexual temptation.
Psalm 119:11-13 Hide the Word in your Heart.
Now listen to Psalm 119:11 to 13 how you can be able to overcome and resist sexual temptation on a daily basis, somebody I’m talking about this; how you can be able to resist. Let me start from verse 9 there. He says, “How can a young man keep his pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.” He is asking, “How can a young man that is supposed to be actually in the youth of his lusts and all that even keep his way straight? How can he keep from straying?” And He says, “By keeping your Word, somebody. Hallelujah; ok now that is what I was bring you to verse 11 to 13, he says, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” So one of the key things you want to use every day, every single day on a daily basis to fight sexual temptation— hide the Word of God in your heart; read the Word of God in the morning first thing. Hide it in your heart. That is a weapon to kill sexual temptation.
Hallelujah; I hide your Word in my heart that I may not sin against you. “Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. With my lips I recount all the laws that…” Hallelujah; “…that come from your mouth.” You begin to recount it. You can now recite them. That means you are now living the Word of God. You can walk in the streets and you look at this one and say, “No I am not doing this because my body is the holy temple of the Holy Spirit.” You can look at this one; you are living the Word of God. You can now recount the Word of God. That means on a daily basis, you wake up in the morning. You look at your morning devotional Bible. You get the Word of God for the day. Hide in your heart; the Word that will protect you from sexual temptation. Hallelujah; listen to me somebody. This is absolutely beautiful. Freedom has come to the Christians in this nation. I am telling you now you know. If you have been lazy to read your Word in the morning, the Word of the Lord, this is the time to wake up and pick a Word and hide it in your heart. Tell the devil, “You ain’t touching me anyone. I have hidden the Word of God in my heart.” It is over with sexual sin in the church!
I have declared it is over now in the Name of Jesus. Now listen to the Word that you have hidden in the heart. Hebrews chapter 4 somebody; freedom has come to the House of the Lord. No more slavery to sexual sin. No more AIDS caught me here because I fell here. Hallelujah; Hebrews chapter 4 you have hidden the Word of God in your heart; Hebrews chapter 4 verses 12 to 13, he says, “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and the attitudes of the heart.” I keep it in my heart; Hallelujah; it is over! Hallelujah; if I keep the Word of God in my heart it is over with sin! He cannot allow me.
Hebrews 4:12 to 13
Freedom has come to the House. It is over even the youth listening to me now. I am telling you no more sexual sin in this church.
The Blood of Jesus, the Blood of the Lamb, the Passover Lamb it did not pour for nothing. He poured for you so you can defeat sexual sin in this nation, even in church. How can you fall to sexual sin as if Jesus never died? The Blood of Jesus is so warm, so powerful and He said the Word of God is alike a double-edged sword. His cutting board. Hey read it in Swahili; that is out there. Now look at that somebody, so these are the secrets that the Lord placed in the Bible that the devil has been hiding from you.
When people tell you, “O no, these days all men have fallen. We all fall.” The devil is a liar. That is another doctrine; another gospel. That is worshipping another god. Our God is a holy God. He has zero-tolerance to sin especially sexual sin. And you can see systematically I’m walking you through a process in which you can be able resist the devil on a daily basis in sexual sin. You can close the door. Somebody I have news, you can actually close the door of sexual sin. I was surprised when I saw the level of sexual sin in the church. That is one thing that has brought the church down completely. The church cannot even address it.
The servants even fear to preach it because they have fallen in one way or the other. But there is power somebody, there is power somebody. There is power in the Blood of Jesus. It is over today. I have news for today: There is power in the Word of God. Hallelujah; what a mighty Word. The Book of Hebrews; Hebrews we are still handling this. Hebrews 13
somebody—how you can resist sexual sin on a daily basis; the Living Word of God you are hiding it in your heart is helping you on a daily basis. He is judging the attitudes of men. He’s judging your minds. He’s judging your hearts; the hearts of your friends. He’s keeping you. You’re hiding the Word is like a double-edged sword.
Let us finish with one thing somebody; we just have to wrap up here. We have to close up here. The Book of Isaiah 26 after you have hidden the Word of God into your heart and now you are using the Word of God and it’s piercing, it’s cutting like a double-edged sword and yet every day you go to work, “Every time I see this woman, I tremble.” “Every time I see this man, I tremble.” All those things are troubling you. You have no peace. You don’t want your wife to come to work. You don’t’ want your wife to come to work. You don’t’ want your husband to come to work because there is a man that is looking at you. There is a woman that looks at you. You have no peace.
Isaiah 26:3
Hallelujah; Isaiah 26 verse 3, somebody, everybody go there. He says, “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.” Hallelujah; you have kept the Word of God in your heart; the Living Word of God; He says He now bring peace because you have trusted in Him. Every morning you are reading the Word of God depositing in your heart. Now He brings you peace. He says my peace I give you. My peace I live you with. I give you my peace, not anyone’s peace. My peace I give you.
LORD JESUS, I am a sinner and I Repent of all my sins. Please wash my sins with the Precious Blood of JESUS today. I turn away from all sin and I receive you in my heart today as my LORD and SAVIOR. Please write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and please send me the HOLY SPIRIT to help me live in holiness, and establish Your Word in my heart and protect my heart.
In the Mighty Name of JESUS, I am Born Again today.
Amen
