Bible Verse of The Day – 7-13-24

Genesis 19:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.”

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah came because of the sinful behaviors of the people. The entire city was destroyed.

Only Lot and his two daughters, made it out alive.

When the angels of the Lord came to get Lot and his family out, the men of the city tried to get at the angels of the Lord. They insisted on them coming outside so they could “know them carnally”; have sexual intercourse with them.

God addressed this sinful behavior that they willingly practiced in their lives. And He will address it in ours as well.

Leviticus 18:22 (NKJV) 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Today, if we are sleeping with people of the same sex, we must know the truth about what God says about it.

It is considered an abomination. We need to get His help and come clean.

Just like other sins, this one will destroy us if we continue in it.

We need to do whatever it takes to get out of it. God is faithful, and He will guide our steps.

He will give us strength, courage, and steadfastness to get out if we are sincerely wanting to change.

Fasting and praying is a good place to start when it comes to getting deliverance, healing and direction. But we need to be in it for the long haul; not giving up even if we fall back into it when we are tempted.

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

We must be willing to pull ourselves together and push forward by resisting the temptation and submitting to God. Start over again if we must.

Be willing to change our habits and make sacrifices by removing those people around us who keep us from doing the right thing.

Sin will destroy us if we do not stop laying down with it.

If we still have breath in us, we must keep fighting for righteous living, keep standing strong, giving it every necessary effort.

We stand with you in prayer and fasting. You can win this battle, in Jesus’ name!

Amen.
