Speaker 1 (00:02):
Praise the Lord, Praise the name of Jesus. This is
Pastor Cynthia and I'm back with have you heard, Thank
you all for all for you, all that have joined
me today or this morning, whatever time it is where
you are. Nonetheless, I thank you and God bless you
(00:25):
for joining me. Have you heard about adultery, adultery in
the church? Yeah, yeah, you have. Unfortunately it's a thing
and it ought not be. Praise the name of Jesus.
And I know you know it's one of the two commandments. Yep.
(00:47):
We all know that thou should not commit adultery. And
we understand why people well, we understand that people do
committed in spite of being in the church. Praise God,
being in the body of Christ, who is our Lord
(01:07):
and Savior. He's our king, hallelujah. And in his kingdom,
there is no adultery because God created sexual intimacy for
the married couples, for the married people. Amen. So you know,
adultery is you know, a very selfish, a very very
(01:30):
selfish act. It is. And and in a family, the
dynamics of a family, it affects every person in that family,
whether they're young or old, because you know, you know,
and that's what I wanna talk about it. I just
want up from the things I've heard from various people
(01:54):
that has come in to church and want to talk about,
you know, their spouse committed adultery, they were hurt. But
then there's some time after the act of adult you
have been committed one person, one spouse or another may
(02:16):
want to leave and go off and be with that
affair partner and not just that it was like. And
now they figure, well, we can go ahead on and separate.
You be with who you wanna be with, not be
with who I wanna be with. But the issue, and
that is that who said that the other spouse wanted
to be with someone or have someone else? And they said, well,
(02:40):
you treated me like you didn't like me. But did
you ever asks that spouse, did they still love you
or like you or try to settle the problem? No
matter if it took a year, two or three years,
that's your spouse. And they figure, well, we can go
our separads and you be with who you wanna be with,
find who you like or find someone, and you know,
(03:03):
let's just move forward in our lives. The children, the
kids are old enough now they can handle it. What
y how could you push this, push that off on
your children? Did you ask the children? Did you even
consider the children? That's what there's no consideration for most people,
for most adult most adulterers or adulteros that are committing
(03:28):
the act of adultery. You know, it's a self in
my opinion, selfish as well as an other people opinion.
It's like, why that was so selfish? She or he
didn't think about me or how I would feel, you
know if I found out, or what would happen? What
about our family? You know, So everybody is affected in
(03:50):
some kind of way. Grown children, middle aged children, high schoolers,
young children, young girl, you know, because they're growing up
or have grown up with both parents in the home
and now there's a possibility of separation and of do
(04:13):
or divorce and they don't want that. But I was
thinking about it, I see, you know, m why do
people commit adultery? I know, and I thought about it.
There's various reasons, I know, you know, I just want
(04:34):
to know. We're believers, we serve a mighty God. Is
there anything too high for our God? So, you know,
for some people, they're they're seeking fulfillment physically or emotionally
or emotionally or physically. You know, they feel like they're
(04:56):
lacking something. And I said this, often it's a feeling.
Feelings come and go. They're fleeting, you know, they're not dependable.
Don't depending why I feel great today and blah, you know,
for the next two or three months. So you can know,
I'm gonna seek someone else, seek out someone else, you know,
to ignite me, to stimulate me. You know, No, that's
(05:20):
not the answer, but that's one of the reasons a
lot of people commit adultery. They're looking for emotional fulfillment
or physical fulfillment. You know, I'm lacking something in my marriage,
you know, and so they you know, And and I know,
(05:44):
I'm kind of childing because it's like so many people
are hurt from finding out that their spouse committed adultery.
And I'm you know, I feel for them, and I'm like, gosh,
you know, I've heard the stories. People have come in
my office in tears, and you know, or even after
they've had the affair or the ongoing affair, and they
(06:05):
want to end it, but they feel as if they're stuck.
And again, it's just a feeling. You are not stuck.
You're married, you know, you made a vow before God,
you are in a committed relationship. And so another person
found out, you know, that their spouse had committed them,
and they're broken, They're hurt, and for some it's a
while for them to heal. They're on an emotional roller coaster.
(06:29):
And just like it's always for me, Like I just
feel so bad seeing beautiful faces come in just distorted,
all torn up because the pain that this adultery has caused,
you know, because somebody felt like they're dissatisfied. You know,
they're frustrated in the marriage, and you know they need more. Well,
(06:53):
I tell you you need more time on your knees
crying out to God. All are possible to those who
believe all things are possible. With God, he can reconcile
that marriage. He can rekindle the flame. You know. One
of the issues is they're dissatisfied because they want sex
(07:15):
in a different way. Well, you know, I thank God
that most marriage is they're respectable of. If you don't
want to do this in our bed, then okay. But
again that's something you can take to God in prayer.
You have a high sexual drive, pray it come down
or the other one. Have a low pray it come up.
You know, you don't have to be ashamed about that
(07:37):
to pray about that. But your have any father, that's
your have any father. Listen, brothers, listen, brother and brothers
and sisters. God already knows. He's waiting for you to
bring it to him. So you don't have to be
frustrated within your marriage. You don't have to be aggravated
or feel emotionally drained or emotionally dissatisfied or physically dissatisfied.
(08:00):
Have a God that all things are possible with his.
God uses our bodies as his vessel, vessels here on
the earth. Let him use you. Praise God, hallelujah, use
you by you coming to him crying out, and he's
fixing the problem and you being a witness. Hallelujah, Ama.
(08:26):
And so some of the other issues. I'm sorry why
people decide. And it's a choice. It is seriously a choice.
It's no accident to commit adultery. That is a choice.
Just think about it now, come on, now, you know
it was a mistake. What was you doing and it
(08:47):
was a mistake. You took off your clothes. Well wait
before you even got there. You plan this, She called you,
or you call on her a text or email or
you know whatever they use snapchat, FaceTime or whatever, and
y'all set up a date or a meeting place I
(09:12):
don't know where, in the car, someone's car, on a hotel,
your house, their house, your friends, as whatever. But that
person didn't stumble to that meeting place, just stumbled upon it.
Then you were there, oh wow, waiting naked or getting
ready to take off your clothes. That was not a mistake.
(09:34):
Stop telling that lie. Satan is the father of lies, AmAm.
You premeditated to meet this person, and you went there
and you met them and took off your clothes, AmAm.
Or maybe not, but you performed the act, a sexual
act that should not be performed because adultery is a
(09:56):
married person having sexual intimacy with someone outside the marriage,
someone other than their spouse. So this person you're meeting,
you know, is not your spouse, so why are you
meeting them? You need to talk and it's the opposite
sex and you a man and it's a lady from
work you need to talk to, or you the wife
and it's a man from work you need to talk to.
(10:16):
Put them on speaker. AmAm, you don't have to be
no way, No, you don't have to go meet to
where my husband is uncomfortable with you meet. No, take
your husband, take your wife with with you. AmAm. Well
she called, you don't have well you could tell the
numbers that come up. And if you can't hang up,
(10:38):
don't answer. Weight to listen to the voicemail. And you
don't have to respond to the voicemail. These excuses that
people are making of why they committed adultery. You know, oh,
I'm having personal issues or there's no excitement in my marriage.
That does not give you the right to go and
have a sexual relationship outside of your marriage. That does
(10:59):
not give your right to commit adultery. You're stronger and
better than that. You are a child of the most
tie God, and that way, committing adultery is not legal
in the Kingdom of God here on the earth. Why
because God in his kingdom, he's the king, and what
(11:19):
the king says is what happens. We abide by his rules,
his regulation, his legislation in his kingdom, not our own. Amen.
So all this, well, there's no excitement in the marriage.
She don't listen to me, I'm tired of him. We
outgrew each other. That is just a matter that can
(11:41):
be handled on your knees together in prayer, try fasting
and praying. Get with your prayer partners and pray about this.
Because marriage in the Kingdom of God is to set
the example to the world. We set examples of how
great and awesome our God is, bringing glory to his name,
even to the angels who are watching. Read Hebrews, AmAm,
(12:06):
So all this I can't give up. Marriage is an
honorable thing. God blesses marriages. And you know, it's funny
to me that people can commit adultery and want to
separate and or divorce. Were just gonna use separation and
they separate. Come on, Holy girls, help me Lord and
go be or live live with somebody else still sinning, AmAm,
(12:34):
and somebody's working out. Is fine living together, Praise God.
Committing adultery and or fornicating, no, no, no. We are
the example to the world to draw them to our Father.
People should want to be saved because the power in
(12:55):
the dominion God has given us that we exercise here
in the earth. Praise God. We're not supposed to look
like the sinner. We are the saints, the children of
the Most High God, and the most High God loves us.
He will give us the strength, AmAm. He has already
did it through his son on Calvary. So you can
live in a happy, blessed marriage. And that's the problem
(13:18):
what you're thinking about marriage? What are you saying about marriage?
Because so a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.
So if you think it negative, I'm born, I'm lonely,
ain't no excitement. He ain't this, she's not that, and
all God, I see other people. No, no, no, no, no,
you're not remembering that God said, let no man put
(13:38):
a sounder what I have joined together. How dare you
commit adultery when you've made a viow of marital covenant
before God the Father, got the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit, and say, let no man, knowing that the
word of God, excuse me, says, let no man put
a sound to what I have joined together. When God
(13:59):
has joined that marriage together. How dare you insult him
to his face by saying it's this person, my spouse
isn't good enough. I put that together. And I am
the Great, I am the miracle worker. Amen, you're a healer.
Your Jehovah raffa yo Jehovah jarley, Yo Jehovah macadish comb
yo Jehovah sit canoe. I'm a Donah, I'm el Shaddin,
(14:23):
and I'm el young. I can do all things, AmAm.
There's nothing too hard for me. A marriage that I
put together, I put it together on purpose, and I'll
be the one Amen. So what are you doing? I'm
tired of him. Get on your knees and tell the Father.
(14:44):
Take everything to God in prayer. So let that not
that spirit adultery abide. I rebuke it now in the
name of Jesus, Hallelujah. God said, letting no man put
asund to what I've joined what I when God joins it?
Uh uh, bring it to God's Father. I prayed for
(15:06):
a spouse, a wife, a husband, and this is who
you brought to me, or brought me to now my
wife my husband is acting up. It seems as if
they're committing adultery. And even asks God, are they committing adultery?
Are they having a relationship outside the marriage? Are they
having that emotional affair? Because God, this is a marital covenant,
(15:28):
and you a covenant making covenant keeping, covenant abiding God,
Praise God. And I bring my marriage to you, the
one that you have put together. So let no man,
let no affair partner, put it asngdup and that's what
you do. Let there be no adultery in my marriage.
Father God, cause you said you put us together. I
(15:49):
prayed for a spouse, am'am, because it's not. You know,
a lot of these marriages God didn't put together, but
the ones that he did, and even the ones that
he haven't, you go to him in mercy, repent confessional
sins and accept them as your lord, and give your
marriage to him so that there won't be any adultery.
(16:11):
He'll put a head of protection around it, am'am. Come on, now,
trust the name of Jesus to keep you and your
spouse from committing adultery. It's not a beautiful thing to
fall in love with somebody that's not your spouse. Not
even fall in love to sleep with or have intimacy
(16:31):
with someone who's not your spouse. That's disrespectful, that's not
in the Kingdom of God. Praise God. And you know
people have may also, or I should say, I believe
(16:52):
have not this adultery have not encountered had an encounter
with the Holy Spirit. When you I can remember my
baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was a beautiful thing.
I'm not talking about being baptized in water. I'm talking
about being baptized in the Holy Spirit into the Holy Spirit, am'am.
(17:17):
My experience. I was at church, am'am, and I had
been saved, and you know, I was married and I
had I think I had two children by then. And
you know, me and my husband and I we were
going to church and stuff. And you know, my husband
didn't work too hard at it, but it was okay
(17:39):
for me cause he did come sometimes and quite often
on Bible study night, AmAm, Praise God, and we loved
the Lord, and we went on and things like that,
and we was we still went I was shouldn't thinking,
did we go to another. No, we still went on
and went to church, praise God. And one day I
(18:03):
had been in my word often, you know, getting in
it more and more and having more prayer time, spending
more time with the Lord. And I was at church
on the front raw because it was it was a
Bible study night. I believe it was because I think, no,
because I passed it back there. Even on Bible study nights,
you know, the children's church, you always would bring their
(18:23):
children in and have the children tell what they've learned
in Bible study. And he believe a family that prays
together stays together. And so after the children's church on
Bible study night, the families we had to sit in
service together. Wasn't no leaving the kids all day in
church and children's church. No, they had a set time
and then you bring them out and you sit with
(18:44):
your family, your mother and your father, and you learn
how to act church etiquette in the house of the Lord,
because your parents should be there to stop, you know, talking,
you know, no chewing gum. The usher you gonna come
and get that gum from you. And you know, like,
wasn't no kids drawing and coloring, No, no, No, you
sat and your child learned to sit in the presence
(19:04):
of the Lord and pay attention, Amen, Praise God. You
had to teach him that. And so that's what he believed.
And I was in church that day, that or that evening,
and I was sitting on the front row and it
was the service. It was so good. Bible studies my
favorite night of the way. I love it. I still
(19:24):
love Bible study. Ooh, I love Bible study. And I
was there and we had really had a wonderful worship service,
worshiping our Father, AmAm and praising them in the name
of Jesus having Self. And I was sitting there in
the pastor came up and he was preaching, and I
can't remember what it was because it's like I looked
(19:46):
to my right and it was like a wave coming
and beautiful. Was so beautiful, A beautiful, like a wave,
like a pinkish I don't know. Oh, it was beautifu
when I was sitting in it and golfed me. It
just came all over me and on just didn't go
any further. And I was like what And I felt
(20:08):
real warm and beautiful and just beginning to worship and
it was just beautiful and crying and I don't know.
I it seemed like, I guess eternity, but I wasn't
in it. Maybe fifteen minutes, I don't know. And that
was the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I began to
(20:29):
really worship God and the whole church. It's just I
don't know. He took the Holy Spirit took over and
that changed my life, my thinking, my behavior from then on.
Because see the Holy Spirit, that third person of the Trinity,
is also our umpire. He will guide you and lead
you into all truth and righteousness. And when you're filled
(20:49):
with the Holy Spirit, baptized with in the baptism of
the Holy Spirit, that thought of adultery apam, the Holy
Spirit gonna let you know, that's not who you are.
He's gonna convict you of who you are. Not that's
not you. But he's going to also convict you of
who you are. You are a child of a most
High God, Amen of the most High God. And there's
(21:09):
no adult in you, there's no thoughts. When that's thinking thinking,
come and try to attack you. He will lead you
to cast on your cares upon Jesus because he cares.
Because the Holy Spirit understand that we are now baptizing him.
We are new creatures in Christ Jesus. The way we
used to think, we don't think no more. The way
we used to behave we don't behave no more because
(21:30):
the mind of Jesus Christ. To let the mind that
is in Christ is also in us. We have a
new way of thinking, a new way of living. We
believe we have faith in the name of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus. No more do we want to run around,
lay around, and play around. We want to do what's pleasing.
We want to live what's pleasing to the Father Glory, Hallelujah.
(21:53):
And thinking about another man or woman is not pleasing.
You have a spouse, husbands, brothers. Love your wives as
Christ love the Church. Because you are that foundation you
stand on Jesus and you the foundation of your wife
and you and your children. Amen, you don't crack, am'am.
You fall on your knees and cry out. When the
(22:14):
world sees your wife and your children, they see how
great of a man you are. You don't have to
go and uproot your foundation and move it over here.
You shifted and shaking a whole family, rattling them upon.
That's not what the men of God and the Body
of Christ do. You are a man of God, like
Adam was in the presence of God, working in his
(22:36):
calling what God called him to do. And when his
wife was brought to him by God, he honored her
and loved her. He said, wow, AmAm, woman, bone on
my bone and flesh on my flesh. And he honored
her until they sinned and was put out to God.
And that's what you do. He didn't go with you
got somebody else from me. No, you love your wife,
(22:57):
be obedient to the word of God. You love her,
not no other woman, not like no other woman. You
love your wife as Christ loved the church. He loved
us so much he died for us. He gave up
his life, he shed blood, he suffered for us, He
was pierced and beat and whipped for us to be
made hole in hell, for us to have salvation, to
(23:18):
live life in abundance. And that's what you to do.
Not get tired. I can't talk to her. Tell it
to the Father who's able to do exceedingly and abundantly
above all that you ask or think. Amen and Amen.
So that's what I think. They must not be baptizing
to the Holy spirital field with him, because when that thought,
(23:40):
as Jesus said, to think of a woman in a
lustful way, as adult you, and they started trying to
attack you, you will cast that care out you, a
cry out you, a call on the Holy Ghost to
help you not to think like that, but to turn
that thought into thoughts of your beautiful wife. Same with you. Women.
You honor and respect that man. Ape ma'am, what no
(24:01):
thoughts of another man? Pray about him? Cause you came
off the side the rib that holds everything together. Hold
that marriage down by holding up that marital covenant to
God and asking him to put a hedge of protection
around that marriage so that it won't be no adultery
for you or him. Ama AmAm. That's my time, prayers God,
(24:23):
talking about adultery, having sexual intimacy with someone outside your
mat with someone other than your spouse, that's not christ Like,
Let's not do it. But I gave you a few
reasons why some people say that that led them to
a bun Honey. The answer is there must not be
no baptism or the Holy Spirit who leads and guides
(24:47):
us into truth and righteousness. So what I'm i saying,
get saved, get filled, and get baptist. And see the
issue is a lot of people think cause they speak
in tongue Amen, and that they are baptized with the
Holy Spirit and feel are you really, hey, ma'am, Are
you letting him guide you and lead you? Are you
(25:09):
yielding to the Holy Spirit? Is he your empire? It's
my time, God, bless you all, and thanks for listening.
See you again soon. Be blessed a man and a man.
Oh not just be blessed God. I want to pray
(25:30):
for you. I was just being ended and I want
to ask the Father. Come, Come on, Father God, in
the name of Jesus, which you stop those divorces, reconcile
that marriage, rekindle the flame between them their husband and wife,
and let no man put a son that I asked,
(25:51):
what you have joined together? Now? Father? I ask you
to put a hedge of protection around their marriage and
protect it from adultery and emotional affairs, from lying to
each other, from sneaking and hiding things from each other.
Will you, Father, acts in the name of Jesus, And
I thank you Jesus, and praise your mighty name, and
(26:13):
speak peace and love, joy and unity in their marriage
and Jesus' name. Amen and Amen, praise the name of Jesus.
