Session 1, Text:1Cor. 6:18: #prayerFocus – ridding the bloodline of ingrained sexual immorality.

Sexual immorality is any kind of sexual expressions outside marriage-See Matt. 19:4-5.

The word sexual immorality is derived from the Greek Word porneia which also refer to fornication, Pornography, idolatry and whoredom.

God’s Word says to flee sexual immorality-1Cor.6:18 because of how adversely it affects the whole personality and subsequent generations.

While Sexual immorality defiles, making the offenders impure, it also repels the presence of God. It’s very offensive to our Holy God-See Rom. 1:24, Gal. 5:19, Eph. 4:19.

God created Humans and gifted us the pleasure of Sexual expressions within the confines of marriage-Matt. 19:6.

Definition of Terms:

Fornication is sexual expressions between unmarried folks.

Adultery is sexual intercourse between folks with either one or both parties married.

Idolatry is not only the worship of images but the exaltation of any object-persons or things above the knowledge of God.

In most culture/religion where images are worshipped, sexual immorality is an integral part of the rites and rituals.

In this century, sexual immorality among some elite priests came to public knowledge when victims of child molestation cried out.

Whoredom is the practice of prostitution. In our world today, it has degenerated further to women being kidnapped and sold off as sex-slaves.

All the above are sinful behavior because God’s will is for sexual expressions to be within the confines of marriage.

Sin is any action or attitude that violates or does not conform to the will of God-See 1Jn. 5:17.

The sinful legacy of Adam:

Through the disobedience of Adam, his descendants became sinners – See Rom. 5:19. Sin became the evil genetic legacy of Humanity.

The sin nature is inherited through procreation. Every Human born into this world is born a sinner and prone to sin and under the authority of the devil and the forces of evil.

The righteous nature of God and authority over the Devil is receive through faith in what Christ Jesus accomplished for Humanity.

How sinful pattern become ingrained family traditions :

Children learn by imitating the actions and mannerisms of their parents. Hence the next generations often repeat the sins /errors of their parents, with increasing degeneracy.

It’s easy for children to embrace the immoral life style of their parents because it is embedded in their memory-ingrained in their psyche.

Recently my grandkids visited and I noticed my 2 year old grandson habitually cleans up after eating. There is no stopping him. When he is done eating, he puts back his chair, pick up his plate and heads to the kitchen. He was mimicking the actions of his dad.

Children are very impressionable: they learn good or evil from the home which reinforces there heredity.

That is the reason certain sins become the accepted ingrained tradition of a family, tribe or nation.

Demonization entry-level:

Negative familial behaviors are reinforced by demons who gain access into the ancestry through sin.

Demons are evil spirits. And familiar evil spirits are demons who are familiar with family history and traditions: for they have been in the same family for centuries.

Demons are ‘satan’s’ foot-soldiers and are mandated to steal, kill and destroy Humans.

They majorly possess non-believers and tempt Believers to sin. Every family have active and dormant demons.

Example of Reinforced sinful pattern: King David:

David is a descendant of Judah the forth son of Jacob. Judah saved Joseph’s life when his brothers wanted to murder him out of jealousy. However, he advised them to sell Joseph into slavery – See Gen. 37:26-28.

Shortly afterwards, Judah broke rank with his brothers and went to Hirah his friend.

Perhaps the guilt of their actions and the sight of his grieving father was too much to handle, so he ran away and got into more trouble.

While with his friend Hirah, he met and married a Canaanite woman, Shua. They had 3 sons – Er, Onan and Shelah-See Gen. 38:1-5.

Violation of ancestral boundaries:

The sin of breaking the bond of brotherhood, degenerated into marriage with a woman from a forbidden tribal group.

Previously, Abraham his great grandfather had made his servant swear by the God of heaven and earth, not to acquire a Canaanite wife for his son Isaac in order not to violate the terms of his covenant with God – See Gen. 24:3.

Rebecca his grandmother specifically told Jacob, “you shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan-Gen. 28:6.

But Judah chose to walk against laid down family rules because the familiar spirits had something on him with which to manipulate and control his actions.

Judah, was among the sons of Jacob who Deceived Hamor, preparing the way for Simeon and Levi to commit murder.-See Gen. 34:13.

Bad morals-learned:

Judah’s marriage to the Canaanite Shua was a bad influence that further increased the sinful degeneration of that family.

The prevailing wickedness and sexual immorality of the Canaanite showed up in the life of Judah’s sons.

Bible says, “Er, Judah’s first born was wicked…and the LORD killed him”-Gen. 38 :7.

Onan too was killed by God when he spilled his sperm during sex with his late brother’s wife, because he did not want to raise an heir for his late brother – Gen. 38:8-10.

Judah, in who deceit was an ingrained behavior, made promises to his daughter inlaw, which he had no intention of keeping.

Eventually, the ingrained immorality degenerated to sexual promiscuity. Which led him into an incestuous affair with his daughter inlaw.

Since she knew his weakness, she disguised as a harlot in order to get her right which was denied her deceptively-See Gen. 38:12-17.

Effects:

Through sexual immorality, Judah compromised his integrity, position, status, and authority.

As collateral, in lieu of payment for sexual pleasures Judah gave the prostitute his symbol of authority – his signet and cord and his staff of office – the shepherd staff – See Gen. 38:18.

What is a shepherd without a staff?

Through that sexual union, Tamar got pregnant. And a ‘holier than thou’ Judah invoked the death penalty for adultery on her.

However, it could not be enforced because she was justified by in seeking her right to an heir for her late husband who died childless. She Deceived the deceiver and he stopped the death penalty on her.

Tamar gave birth to twins Perez and Zarah.

Sins of the fathers:

King David descended from Pérez, the son of the incestuous union between Tamar and Judah – See Matt. 1:3-6.

That spirit of sexual immorality trailed David and the ingrained sinful behavior degenerated further – he acquired wives, he murdered to cover up adultery. His children and grandchildren became incestuous, rapist, rebellious, murderous, idolatrous and his grand son divided the kingdom he fought all his life to preserve –Read more in My Book Demons Deactivated.

Deliverance Action:

In order to maintain a godly heritage, parents should watch out for their kids physically and spiritually.

1. Set clearly defined boundaries between brothers and sisters to checkmate incest.

2. If you are cohabiting, repent.

3. Resolve to exemplify righteousness – flee sexual sins. Leave a Godly heritage for your children.

4. Review your family history, identify the sinful trends in your ancestry such as rape, consecutive divorces, multiple marriages, and some of the effects show up in single parenting, dream-state sexual abuses, and sexual perversions such as homosexuality etc.

Other symptoms are late marriage, marital problems, rejection frigidity and related sexual problems.

5. Repent on behalf of you and your family – apply the principle of Daniel chapter 9.

6. Make a list of all demon intruders in your bloodline, evidenced by character traits and presenting problems :command them to leave your bloodline at once with their relatives and surrender at the feet of Jesus Christ.

7. Affirm that all the works of the devil is destroyed and your bloodline is cleansed

8. Affirm the victory of the Cross and dedicate your bloodline to God in the name of Jesus Christ. You are the priest of your family – 1Peter 2 :9.

9. Bless your bloodline by replacing the evils you have cast out with their positive opposite.

10. Thank God for answers to prayers and share your testimony and thoughts with us. Shalom.

You are in my prayers. I am sorry for posting this very late. It is well. From #theWatchman Hephzibah Christly
