Speaker 1 (00:00):
Praise the name of Jesus. Hello everyone, and thank you
all for joining me. This is Pastor Cynthia Praise God.
I'm here today with part two a celibacy. Yes that name,
refraining from marriage in sex. Okay, okay, yeah, So you

(00:24):
know I was talking about celibacy on a last podcast
and it's a great topic because just a clear up,
clear to air and for spiritual knowledge that you know
it's a choice. Always remember that God gives us free
wills and it's a choice. No one is forcing anyone

(00:44):
to be that if you choose to. We were talking
about Romans twelve or one percent your body living sacrifice
in this way of being celibate. Praise God and we
pray your strength in the Lord am'am. Celibacy is not
for everyone, Praise God, it is it, but it's there

(01:09):
available if you so choose. I was thinking about Anna
in the Bible where she was married a few years,
seven years and she became a widow, and the Bible
didn't say it, but she's an example of celibacy. She

(01:30):
didn't marry and she certainly did not involve herself in fornication.
Praised God. No type of sex she committed herself and
presented her body daily a sacrifice to the Lord. She
stayed in the temple there and Mary and Joseph brought
in baby Jesus a map. But she was a blessed

(01:54):
woman of God. She stayed in the presence of God,
praying daily, and that's a godly thing. That's a blessed,
divine thing to do. Praise God. And you know, choosing
to be celibate, to not marry, and to refrain from

(02:19):
having sex or fornicating, people are, oh, how could you
do that? Why not if you decide that you don't
want to be married, or you know, you feel lad
of the Lord to not marry. I mean, we are
here on this earth to worship God, to serve him,
to do his will, not ours. So I'm saying, don't

(02:43):
let people look down on you because you made the
choice to be celibate. Because if you're not married, you're
not supposed to be fornicating anyway, thou should not commit adultery.
Praise God. You know, sex is for married people. Fornicating
his sin, even if it is with the person you
intend on marrying, marrying in you have not married that

(03:06):
person yet, so you have no business you know, being
sexually intimate with that person at all, in no shape,
form or fashion. You know, people like, how far is
how far you're not married? That's how far? Praise God. Amen.
Let's not make up excuses to have sex because you

(03:30):
know it's just this one person I'm seeing. And also,
let's not rush into marriage just to have sex. Someone
told me that they clearly just not just but one
of the sole reasons they want to get married because
they feel like they're getting up in age and they're
in their thirties. I'm like, okay, so that they can

(03:54):
have sex. And I'm like, I'm thinking, well, the the
Bible says, let them in Christ be also in you. Hmm. Amen.
You know, think on things above, think the things that
are good and lovely. And how do you know sex
is good and lovely if you are virgin, male or female,

(04:17):
if you've never had sex, you just assume. Praise God. Amen.
So if you're not thinking on that, Hallelujah, you wouldn't
have these thoughts and desires and you don't feel like
I'm getting too old. Let me tell you God can

(04:38):
and shall renew your youth like the eagles. Praise God.
We serve a miracle work in God. He performed miracles.
Look what he did with Abraham and Sarah at one
hundred and she was ninety and she got pregnant and
had a child. And you're twenty something, thirty forty years old,

(04:58):
even fifty. Praise God. What is that compared to being
one hundred and twenty years old? Like Moses was with
clear sight all the days of his life. So through
that in there because God. But for those with eye problems,
don't give up on the word of God, don't give
up on trusting God. You be persistent, a ma'am, standing

(05:18):
on the word that you can see, that the eyes
of the blind shall be open, and the eyes of
them that see shall not be dim Amen. As Jesus
is in heaven, so are you on earth. Praise the
name of Jesus. Because you want to give up, No,
be persistent, Be persistent. Remember, don't let people stop you

(05:41):
from doing the will of God, from believing in the
word and the promises of God. Praise God. Because we
seem to some people let other people's opinion impose on
our doing, our action. Don't do that. Don't please you,

(06:01):
seek to please God, and people aren't going to understand
that you know, and that's okay. But God does hallelujah.
So back to celibacy. If you wanna be celibate, restrain
or remain uh me, not remain, restrain from marriage and sex.
That's that's beautiful. That is beautiful. Praise God for you

(06:26):
for your commit me to our Lord, and say to Jesus, amen,
so be encouraged, not discouraged. Well, I thought I was
doing a good thing. Ask God. If anyone lacks wisdom,
let him ask Amen. Don't be discouraging these people. I

(06:48):
I I G. I mentioned in the last podcast that
Jesus will celebrate Paul and many of the apostles feel up,
you know Steven praise God and it was okay. They
lived and they were about their father's business. So I

(07:11):
encourage you to get into your word, to do your
fasting and praying and so in your seas, get submissive
to God's will for your life. He has a plan.
Praise God for your life, your destiny, He has it.

(07:32):
Praise God a man. I was thinking about that. You know,
I just wanna say a word to you to encourage
you that you're good. You are good, uh Like I said,
I was told told about they wanna be married so

(07:53):
they can have sex. I am getting too old, I
needs How do you know that? How do you know?
So you don't you know? And it's okay because the
people they they are virgin still, you know, and that's
a blessing. They have not had sex with anyone. And

(08:17):
that is a blessing. And that's another thing, particularly with
the young men. Don't be ashamed that you're sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, thirty years old and
have never had sex. That's a beautiful thing. That's how
it's supposed to be. That's the will of God, until
you are married to your wife. Amen, there's nothing wrong

(08:42):
with dad. Adam was in a garden, remember I talking about.
He was single and he was an individual, just him
and the guard. And God said it's not good for
man to be alone alone, so he brought all the
animals to Adam to name and whatever Adam named him,
that's what it was. So he had a second job,
you know, he was in the guard in the tender
garden and then dress it. And then God brought him

(09:06):
the animals for company and to be whatever he called them.
To be. Praise God. And then hallelujah Adam. God came
to Adam and said it is not good. Praise God.
And then he made him a help meet that's suitable
for him. Ama Adam was busy about his father's business,
naming animals he was. He went on and like I said,

(09:32):
God came to Adam and he put him to sleep,
did the first operation. The blood was shed, Praised God.
And he cut open his side and took out a bone,
bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh. Praise God.
And he formed fashion that bone, that man bone, into

(09:52):
a woman, and he gave her, you know, a womb
and paps in a nice shape, things like that, and
seld up his closed up his side. Praise God. And
then when Adam awoke had awakened God, the father brought

(10:13):
Eve to him. And she wasn't even called eve yet,
and he said, bone on my bone, because she was
his kind. The animals that he named were not his kind.
They were not like him at all. But she was
a bit more fashion and shapler hips, lips, fingertips, a man,

(10:35):
all that nice stuff. Praise God. And God presented her
to him, brought her in front of him, and he
decided yes, and he took this woman that was made
for him. God specially made her for him to be
his partner and companion to help him in the garden. Hallelujah.

(10:59):
This is this is Now we go to the beginning
to find out about God's kingdom laws of marriage, how
God want marriage done, not how man does it, because
man didn't create marriage. God instituted this, not man. Amn.
And so Adam wasn't even looking for a wife. He

(11:21):
was about his father's business, and he was celibate, Amen,
Praise God. And he was celibate because he didn't know
anything about marriage, first of all, and or sex, and
he wasn't looking for it. So you can say he
was celibate because he didn't know about either of them.
He was about his father's business. So in your celibacy,
be about your father's business. And in this season, in

(11:44):
the right time, if you so desire to be married,
and it's the will of God, God is going to
bring to you, bring you across your spouse's path, and
bring your spouse to you. Amen of your kind. When
Adam sent, I mean not Adam, excuse me forgive me.
Abraham sent his servant out. He sent him to his people,

(12:06):
his kind. He didn't send him. He didn't want his
son Isaac with the cannon people of the land. Praise God.
So he sent the servant out a save person, and
he prayed. And then Rebecca came and she was the
one in the same way Abraham Jacob. After Rebecca had

(12:30):
Jacob to deceive his father and dressed him in that
stuff and took so that she would take the blame.
Let the blame be put on her, because remember Jacob
didn't want to do this, but his mom wanted him
to to get the birthrights, and she was so overbearing
with it. She made to kid gloves and stuff to
put on him so that he would feel like isa

(12:51):
who was very very hairy. Ay ma'am not remembering. I'm
presumed she's not remembering that God said the older shall
served the younger. She didn't have to do all this
to get him that birthright. It was God was giving
it to him anyway, because that's why the two fought
in her wound. So y'all remember that. And so she

(13:12):
decided to deceive her husband, and she with her son,
and she came up with the plan. Praise God for
Jacob not the birthright because es I gave up his
birthrights willingly. He willing for food, honey, money and food.
People hired up for food. Praise God. He was about

(13:34):
on the brink of death. I guess for famish and
he said, what is my birthright? He just gave it up.
But the blessing was the plan of Rebecca. Rebecca planned that,
and to let you know, the curse and everything that
have to do with this be on me. You just
go in and pretend that you're your brother. And he
was obedient to his mama, and he went in and
he got it and then he left, and then his

(13:56):
brother found out, and he was upset and outright, and
he formulated a plan to get his brother back to
seek revenge. And his mother was like, no, you go,
and she talked with her husband, let's send him away
and to get a wife from my family, from my brothers,
from levin AmAm. And that's what happened. They send him away,

(14:17):
praised God to his kind. She didn't send him out
to anybody or the neighbors down the street. It was
people like them. And that's what God did with Eve.
He made her like Adam, not liking to look like
a man, but a human another human. And they were
in a guardan to dress it together as a married couple,

(14:38):
to work together in the presence of the Lord, doing
the work of the Lord what he ordained an assigned
to them. Praise God. So if you decide not to
be celibate, just you know, praise God. And since you
are settlevant, stay in the presence of the Lord, stay
in the will of the Lord, doing the work of
the Lord. But your celibate self praised the name of Jesus. Amen.

(15:02):
And so this is what happened. And then, of course
we know the devil used the serpent and deceived Eve,
twisted the truth, and they were put out the garden.
But before that, well that's that's for Amen. We leave that.

(15:22):
But they were put out the garden. And then Adam
knew his wife, and you know, Seth at canaan Abel
came and then Seth praised God. But I was saying
that to say that Adam was in the presence of God,
an individual by himself, not married, not having sex. It's doable.
You can do it. And I thank God that you

(15:45):
you know, you're attempting and you're putting in the effort
to do this. So be encouraged as you are celibant,
praised God in the presence of the Lord. How wonderful
my blessings to you. Amen and Amen, don't get discourage.
Remember and we all are to remember to present our
bodies as living sacrifices. That's what that marriage that aught is.

(16:09):
When you get married people, you going down there to
make a sacrifice, to put your flesh and your desires
and all that on an altar and surrender to the
will of God in this marriage, I mean being married
his way. Thou should not commit adulter. Ain't no adultery
and a lying the two become one. You are now one,
So there's transparency and all that you do will say,

(16:31):
ain't no secrets and hiding anything. You decided not to
be celibate anymore, and what celibacy mean that praise God.
Ain't the way i'ma have it every now and then
on I'm mighta have a one night saying no sex
is for married people. Get that out of your thoughts,
out of your hearts. Not just people who decide not
to marry and not to have sex, but people who

(16:52):
are single and married and divorced and widow. Sex is
for married people. Just because you separated husband and wife
them mean you can have sex with other people. If
y'all not gonna get together and have y'all little rendezvous
and be together, then you're not with anyone else. As

(17:13):
long as you are married. Even though you are separated,
you are not to have sex or relationships still outside
the married marriage because before God, you are married. So
Alie is, well, we just had lunch together. No, and
you knowing that you're liking this person and that person
is the reason why you and your spouse are separated.
Now you have no dealings with that person in no shape,

(17:35):
form or fashion. No social media, no phone, no text,
no emails, no letter, nothing, because that's ungodly to think
of a woman is committing adultery in your heart, you're
still committing adultry. Stop live pleasingly before God and ma'am.
And that's the same with divorce. It's the same thing.

(17:57):
Because you're separated and divorce you are not married. Sex
is out the question, period, AmAm. Eat and widowed too, well,
you know, I'm just gonna every now and then it's
just oh because I have that. No, you do not.
You were born without having sex. Praise God. That's the

(18:17):
purpose of getting saved and cleansed, washed by the blood
of Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit. He is
our umpire. He will guide you into all truth and righteousness.
The Word of God will spring up in you within
you like a weal, to help you to remember that
this is not godly. I am not going to this house.
There's this one or two o'clock in the morning. I'm

(18:38):
not going to see this person. I'm not calling this person.
I'm not even reading their text. I'm not gonna open it.
It's from them. I'm going to delete it. They called,
I'm not going to answer. I'm gonna delete the voicemail.
Do what you're supposed to do, and the Holy Spirit
he will help you to do that. That's why he's
here in the earth, the third person under Trinity. Jesus

(19:00):
is on the right hand. God is in heaven, and
Jesus is seated on his right hand and having interceding
for us. And the Holy Spirit is in the earth
to help and lead and guide us. He's our umpire. Amen.
Before our close, I just want to encourage you a single, married,
divorce and widow. Sex is for married people only don't

(19:21):
do that. Call on God. Holy Spirit is the power,
the resurrection power. He's powerful. He's raised Jesus from the
dead and you know he can do everything. Just ask him,
Holy Spirit, help me to restrain from calling this person,
going with this person, from thinking about this person, because
the Word says that let the mind of Christ be
in me, and that's not Christ's mind. Help me and

(19:43):
he will help you. We wire moving right away, but
you gotta want this with a sincere heart, am'am. Now
that's my podcast for celibacy. I just want to just say,
God bless you all and encourage people that you made
a wonderful decision. I hope, I pray now, just hope
that you stick with this and go unashamed because people

(20:05):
trying to make you shame you ain't had no sex.
Well that's them. You should be saying, well you had
sex and not Mary. You haven't committed your body to
the Lord, am'am. Praise God, am'am. Be encouraged. So before
I leave, I want to for the singles and those
who are celebrated, praise God. I want you to read
this book. By this book and try to get into it.

(20:51):
It does a lot of talking. It's godly messaging there,
I like to say, written by the hand of God.
Praise God. It was explained to me that God gave
them this book and the words, and it's just wonderful
for those who are single that you can remain single,
stay single, and then if you decide to get married,
you can do that too. And the name of Jesus

(21:13):
God will be there for you and with you be
