Sexual and Carnal: Non-Identical Twins

Welcome back to Georgie’s Blog, season’s greetings in fact because Christmas is here, this holiday has always been my favorite, celebration of Christ and doing that by acting especially in love, which is the reason for the season.

In the last episode, we talked about what makes me sexual(us rather 😅)and how God created us to be sexual beings and how sex is a lot of good and can also be a lot of bad, so now let's go deeper into that, shall we?

Now as for sexual beings, when we express our sexuality (which is Christ) outside the conditions of what our sexuality should be, outside the covering and covenant of marriage, doing that, we act carnally. Being carnal is giving into our human nature (and trust me, that's not good!👹), the Bible tells us in Romans 8:6–8

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

What do you think this means? Be ye not carnally minded, do not put the focus on your human wants, desires, and ambitions, do not allow it to lead you because that does not please God, a carnal mind is at enmity with God, it is death! The Bible also says "The heart of man is wicked" (this is a heart of a carnal-minded man) and the same Bible says "A way might seem right to a man, but the end is destruction". So basically you can't trust yourself, you trust God, and keeping him at the focus takes the decision making off your feelings, your emotions, your thoughts, your wants, off you!

Okay now let's come back to Sexual. Like we've understood in previous episodes, sexual is spiritual ( I wouldn't say the sexual Christian if it wasn't 😂), our sexual should only be expressed in marriage, husband and wife getting down and dirty in the bedroom(or anywhere else really 😏), that kind of thing, that's how we should live our sexual, it's our sexuality, it's God's purpose, his design, the perfect plan that cannot go wrong if followed through. But as sin came into the world so did our flesh desires, the moment we begin to express our sexual outside the boundaries of marriage i.e fornication, adultery, and anything sexual outside marriage, we act carnally, gratifying our horrid desires, pleasures, and everything else, we act carnal, we become carnally minded.

So Sexual and Carnal are like opposite sides of a coin, or like I'd say, non-identical twins because even if we might think they're similar, they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON. Just as the spirit is opposed to the flesh, the same way sexual is opposed to carnal, there is more to the constant war that we believers go through. It isimportant we understand this, that we act on it and live according to God’s will, I pray that God helps us to live our lives patiently till we can live sexually (marriage bliss) and to restrain from carnal acts we might already be engaged in. That's it for today! Anticipate Episode 12 and don't forget to clap and share, Merry Christmas beloved, and I wish you a beautiful and amazing new year.

Shalom❤️
