Baby's Found Her S.E.X.

 

"But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house" (Bereshyt/Genesis 39:12). "From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and Daweed sent someone to find out about her" (2 Shmu’El/Samuel 11:2,3). "Flee from sexual immorality" (1 Corinthians 6:18). "Keep yourself pure" (1 Timothy 5:22).

 

Shalom Beloved Sisters,

 

To YAHWAH be ALL the praise and honor...for He is truly worthy!!!  HaleluYAH!!!

 

I must admit...this subject was brought on by a conversation that I had with one of my spiritual teenaged bahnote, whose name is Nahteefah.  We were sitting at the dinner table the other night and she asked me had I ever heard of the song "S.E.X."?  I told her "no", I had not.  Then I asked her whose singing it...she then told me it was by a brotha by the name of "Lyfe Jennings"...okay...that still did not ring a bell to me ....

 

Anyhooo...we began speaking about sex and teenagers in 2008.  And after our conversation...I was absolutely floored!!!

 

I could not even imagine being a teenaged girl in this day and age!  What the heck has happened?  How did things get soooo out of hand?  Where did we (parents, mothers, aunts, grandmothers,) drop the ball?  How did this happen on our watch?

 

A virgin girl may not appreciate what she has. Some girls actually loose their virginity because of peer pressure. They give away their virginity just to fit in, just to belong.

 

Emote/Mothers and future emote...we need to let our bahnote (or any young daughter for that matter), know that contrary to what their friends say, being a virgin girl is perfectly normal. Our bahnote must know that they are perfectly normal. They are perfectly normal as a virgin. They won’t fall ill because they didn’t have sex before twenty one. They won’t even get sick if they don’t have sex before thirty five. Another thing they need to know…they don’t have to play along with their friends to do evil in other to feel great about themselves. They don't have to belong to a certain circle of friends to be important.

 

Sisters we must let them know that they can achieve what they want to achieve and be anything they want to be without having to follow the wrong crowd. Self-esteem is a thing of the mind. If you feel good about yourself no one can put you down.

 

This is important because many of our young daughters have veered into sexual misconduct simply to please their friends or to be rated as mature by friends.

 

Some older teenaged girls or young adult girls have been lured to sexual misbehavior because they fear they may get sick if they do not have sex before they are twenty.

 

This all might sound silly and irrational to them...but ignorance breeds fear.

 

To compound matters, many parents do not feel comfortable discussing sexual matters with their yeledeem/children. When yeledeem ask questions relating to sexuality, many parents skim over the subject or dodge it outright.

 

Sisterhood, this does NOT help our yeledeem.

 

Since parents often fail to carry out their responsibility to their yeledeem, these innocent ones turn to their peers for answers. And the answers they get are often distorted and far from the truth!!!

 

The result?

 

Pregnant teens, troubled teens, and reckless teens that became depressed adults. These depressed adults eventually become a nuisance to society.

 

***If any of our young daughters are reading this message...I have this simple advice for you. Do not join your friends to experiment with sex. It is like walking on red hot coal. Your legs will get burnt.

 

If you are a virgin girl, maintain your virginity. Your virginity is a source of pride to your parents and yourself. And when you get married as a virgin girl, your husband will be extremely proud of you.

 

Remaining a virgin girl until you marry establishes your marriage on sound footing of trust. Your husband knows he can trust you because you have self-discipline and love of righteousness. And prayerfully your husband will have the same self-discipline and love for righteousness!

 

It takes love for YAHWAH, self-discipline, and self-control to stay morally upright in this decadent generation. When you are able to do that and maintain your virginity straight to marriage you gain self-esteem as a woman of substance.

 

Besides, you save yourself the trauma your wayward schoolmates experience. You save yourself the pain of teen pregnancy and fatherless baby andpossibly diseases. And you save yourself the pain of a wasted life.

 

Your friends are wrong when they say virginity is archaic and dark age morality.

 

Remaining a virgin girl is a thing of pride. As a virgin you can hold your head high anywhere you go. You have no need of shame.

 

You have self-confidence, self-esteem, poise and a feeling of fulfillment.  And the love of YAHWAH.

 

Wouldn't you rather remain an innocent virgin girl and enjoy such honor than be tossed about because your stomach is bulging with pregnancy for a baby who has no father?...and a child in which you are not ready to care for? 

 

Yeah. I know you will do the right thing.

 

However, there are certain mistakes that young people your age make that undermine their decision to remain a virgin girl.

Young girls (older women also), tend to be avid readers of romance stories.

 

Romance stories tend to create sexual passion and often cause their readers especially women to fantasize about life with Mr. Perfect.

 

These girls feel the passion in the stories and wish for a life just like that in the stories. The romance in the romance novels results in a buildup of sexual fantasy in many girls. A regular dose of sexual fantasy eventually results in a desire for the real thing.

 

Then what?

 

Your guess is as good as mine.

 

Kayn/Yes, romance novels make interesting reading. But many teach values that derail youths by creating desires that lead them astray.

 

Do you really want to remain a virgin girl?

 

Then stay clear of material (books, movies, tv shows, music, etc.),  that arouse your sexual desires. If you don't, you will have trouble maintaining your virginity and self-esteem.

 

Get into the word of YAHWAH...and see what He has to say about the matter...

 

Sisterhood...we must teach our daughters...we must set the righteous example for them to follow...

 

If they don't see it or receive it at home...then you know they are going to looking for it somewhere else...and that is usually in the streets!

 

NOTE:  For those of you that are to immature for the next part of this week's subject, please STOP reading NOW!!!

 

 

WAKE UP can't you see that our daughters are dying....WAKE UP...can't you hear them crying out for our help!!!?

I pray that this topic has gotten across to each and everyone of us. We all have the responsibility to shine our lights and be a righteous example before the world. This world walks in total darkness, and the light that we have been given to shine, let it shine forth brightly!!!

 

I watched a documentary on television that greatly saddened me and reminded me of the tremendous battle for the souls of our yeledeem. It spoke of rampant teenage sexual activity and the tremendous pressures on our young byneem weh bahnote (sons and daughters) to be immoral (although, not surprisingly, it didn't use this term).

Due to our YAH-ordained hormonal constitution people in every generation have dealt with sexual temptation. One of the greatest examples of victory over sexual temptation is Yosafe/Joseph. Scripture tells his story in Bereshyt/Genesis 39 (in the aforementioned scriptural verse) and records the essence of this victory. Scripture also forthrightly records failure and Melek Daweed’s/King David's story is perhaps the most familiar. The second verse records the essence of what led to his moral failure. I certainly recall the temptations common to our daughters as I grew into adulthood in the late seventies. But I believe our daughters today are facing a situation far more intense and distinct from what most of us in previous generations faced. There is a flood of material condoning and even glamorizing immorality. In many cases it's even taught in public schools and through government agencies. The righteous marriage pattern is mocked and staged by many "celebrities" as a mere publicity stunt.

Interestingly there is a parallel sense of condemning by popular culture of those who still maintain a Scriptural outlook. We are seen as old-fashioned, antiquated and intolerant (that's cool by me…can we say HaleluYAH on that one?).

Much of today’s condoning and condemning did not take place past generations, but as I said in previous posts, we have dropped the ball in many areas! I remember when marriage was presented as normal and healthy. Scripture was revered by most and its teaching held sacred. Sexual immorality was wrong and understood to be sinful behavior. Being a virgin was quite “in vogue”!!!

Certainly there have always been people in every generation who practiced sexual immorality; some engaging in pre-marital sex/fornication and adultery; and sodomy.

Many of you today who are reading this have engaged in sexual immorality one way or another in the past but have repented and found the purifying scrub brush of Ruakh Ha Qadosh brings renewal, cleansing and an invitation to start over according to YAHWAH’s design.

 

Some of you are fighting this battle as you read this. You know in your heart this message is for you. Please stop the wickedness…but if you’re going to willingly continue to do wickedness, then do it, but keep the Names YAHWAH and Yahoshua out of your wicked mouths!

The apostle Sha’ul/Paul wrote, "Flee from sexual immorality." Today we need to practice, maintain, and proclaim Torah. Those who do so will be increasingly reviled. Teachers who stay true to Torah and faithfully proclaim the Word are branded old-fashioned and homophobic, (and those are just the “nice brands” of names), if they merely repeat what the Torah says in regard to its unambiguous, forthright condemnation of homosexuality, fornication, adultery, incest, beastiality and hold to the righteous teachings concerning sexual morals.

My word of encouragement today is to stay faithful in word and deed to YAHWAH’s Torah.

 

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of Elohym, you will receive what He has promised" (Ebreem/Hebrews 10:35, 36).

YAHWAH, Ha El Rahkhameem (The Elohym of Mercies),

 

It is Your desire that we stay faithful to Your commands. Scripture gives many examples of those who knew to do right, but chose to do wrong. The consequences of their wrong actions inflicted a great deal of loss, life-long regret and emotional pain. Help us to avoid the traps Satan has set for us by not only reading Torah, but applying its truth to our lives, and standing firm when the temptation to do wrong is ever before us.

 

I ask this in the Redeeming Name of Yahoshua, Your Lamb.

 

HaleluYAH!     Todah YAH!     Ahmayn!
