Matthew 5
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²⁷ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
²⁸ But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
²⁹ And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.


When you desire a man or woman for sex in your heart, as far as Jesus is concerned, you are as guilty as someone who has done the act.

This shows how serious sexual purity is to God.

If God's standards of sexual purity are so high, you can imagine how he feels about the depth of sexual perversion and lust that is so rampant in the world today.

The above scripture has the following interpretations:

1. It means lust is a sin.

2. It means many will go to hell because of lust if they don't repent.

3. It means in God's sight, the sin of lusting is as serious as fornication or adultery.

4. It means looking at pornography is a great sin against God.

5. It means God only wants us to desire our married spouses sexually, not our boyfriends or girlfriends.

6. It means women who wear sexually provocative clothes are luring men to sin in their hearts against God.

7. It means nudity which is so common today in our streets, offices, restaurants, etc. is sinful to God.

8. It means you can form spiritual soul ties by lusting after men or women in your heart.

9. It means you open the door to sexual demons by lusting after men or women especially in pornography.

10. It means God greatly desires us to be sexual pure first in our thinking.

Sexual purity has great rewards. But it all starts with our thoughts. How sexually pure are you in heart? Do you entertain lustful thoughts?

God loves us more than we can ever know, let's keep his commandments.

This is another place where God is Feared and should be Feared because unlike man who needs 2 elements to prove the guilt of a person mostly, which is

1. Mens rea. (Guilty mind/thoughts) and
2. Actus Reus. (Guilty Acts)

But God only needs mens rea to convict us of any offence which is what Mathew 5 was warning us.

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
— Acts 8:22


Our thoughts weigh before God like our acts.

...Our thoughts weigh before God like our acts.

That is what I am saying. We are guilty and convictable of an offence in God's Court with mens rea alone and I knew before you did.

It's impossible to keep anything in an already filled vessel unless you pour out what is inside before you can fill in something else.

All humans were born as ATHEISTS (God's enemies) so we need to learn about God from childhood {Deuteronomy 6:6-7 compare to Ecclesiastes 12:1} but when we fail to continue filling our hearts with rich spiritual meals then Satan will find his way into our hearts that's when the mind will harbor selfish cravings {Matthew 12:43-45} and the mind will start to release what's stored in it at every slight chance! Matthew 15:17-20
