"Playing House: Why It Hurts So Bad"~ YDOC Tuesday Night Bible Study Highlight

OOOUUCCHHH!!! Tears falling down your face, it’s not physical; it’s an inner pain you feel inside. Torn, cut, broken, dismembered, sliced, severed, and tattered you sit and cry, cry, cry, cry… you see no blood but you’re experiencing internal bleeding. Lost, feeling like you are out of reach of healing… OOOOUUCCHH!!!! They said, “It’s over!” OOOUUCCHH!!! They said, “I never want to speak to you again!” OOOUUUCCHH!!! They said, “You’re not the one!” OOOUUCH!!! They said, “We’re done!” This is the break ups we experience, but it deeper than a break up. This is the feeling of relationships that have chosen to engage in premarital sex and now that relationship is over. “Why does it hurt so bad”? It’s not your normal experience of a break up because there are spiritual events that take place when you engage in premarital sex. 1 Cor. 6:15-16- Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.” The sexual experience is two becoming one flesh. A relationship lead by God, to transition to marriage to be kept by God, finds itself on the safe operating table of becoming one flesh. Our premarital sexual experience is not God lead thus we find ourselves in a painful bloody mess.
We are in a society that enjoys playing house. We have male and females engaging in sex, which is what married couples are supposed to engage and as a result, many people find themselves hurt. You may not be with a prostitute, but the principle is this, when you have sex, you become ONE with that person. Marriages that are God centered (theo-centeric) will be kept by God and the two that became ONE will remain ONE in God. God does not keep as one, relationships that engage in premarital sex. God keeps God centered marriages. It hurts when you break up with your boy friend or girl friend you had sex because it feels like flesh is tearing and being cut. You both became one and because your union was not based upon God’s principles you find yourself bleeding from torn flesh (spiritually speaking). Let’s stop playing house. I know you want to be loved, but love does not have to experience that type of damage. God took that experience by loving you to the cross, taking your nails, cross, thorn and spear, bleeding for you. God chose to bleed for you to keep you from bleeding. Become one with God by following His Word and resist sexual immorality because it will only hurt you in the end. “There is a way which seems right unto a man but in the end there of is the way of death” (Proverbs 16:25).
