The SSHHH Effect - Single Saved Holy Hot and H _ _ _ _

What is the "SSHHH Effect?"

Don't tell nobody but, "I...want..." Then that word is dropped...horny. But what does Horny really mean?

SSHHH...

• Single – w/o matrimony, not married – includes, widowed, divorced, and never married – engaged does not = married just spoken for. 
• Saved – freed from the law of sin and death, redeemed by another’s sacrifice.
• Holy – given to or belonging to God, consecrated/set apart for/dedicated/devoted to God’s service/use, declared sacred, pure in heart (Ps 51), worthy of worship (to be worshipped for God – to do worship for us), mature (be holy for I am), moving towards/to be perfect – w/o sin 
• Hot – full of strong feelings, very eager, burning, underneath or within
• Horny – feeling of lust, Hornie = Scottish meaning for the Devil

You are running around saying, "I am sooooo horny!" Who, by the way, men do not use this term. So what you are speaking back into yourself is "I am soooooo out of control!" "I am the (of the) devil!" I charge and encourage you; Christian brothers and sisters to remove this word from you vocal! I (we) know you have desires - wants and some would say needs, but this word is not one that you should use to describe it.

The power of tongue. Watch it and get control over it. Some of the stuff you get into, is simply because you have spoken it. So, you wonder why when you have prayed and maybe even fasted to not "slip" and fall into sexual acts? You can't seem to help it or yourself - lose control! Well. you declared it with those lips of yours. You say you are HORNY, then you become that! LUST is simply a desire that is out of control.

Galatians 6:8 says, "8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." 

Let me remind you.

1. Your desires are normal – God gave them to you. 
2. So, the issue is not the desire - it is you - that dag gone flesh.
3. We must learn to control it.

God never told you to suppress your feelings or desires, but to get some control of it and them and deny (reject, refuse) it - that flesh.

• Control – to have power and authority over, restrain, to check -- REMEMBER - the Holy Spirit is in control and will help you. 
• Suppress – to put an end to, to stop my force, to keep in, hold back, do not disclose (suppress the truth), to keep secret/silent (by force) – SHHH.

Matthew 26:41. "41Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
John 6:63, "63It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing." 

FLESH...the stuff going on underneath your skin - itching to manifest on the outside. Girl - Dude just admit it - your flesh is weak! After all these years of waiting right and then a very brief season of growing weak "in love".... I understand. But know that God can, is and will be a keeper. If you have missed it and are missing it - stop. Ask Him for forgiveness, ask Him for help and strength for yourself and the person you are in relationship with. HE will come. HE will strengthen you and HE will keep you both!

Mums the word, or the surprising feeling gives the enemy and or the flesh power to more easily operate behind and underneath the skin. This is often why so many of us struggle. You need to be accountable to someone. So how do I do I not walk in the flesh:

1. Know that it is done and you and stand against and walk in the freedom of your flesh not controlling you - it is by the GRACE of GOD in us - through the Spirit who teaches us by deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and its practice. 
2. Watch and pray 
• pray in private (over and about yourself) 
• pray in public (with each other)
• ask God to help you be strong 
• ask Him to give you the power to say no
• if you are too weak, ask Him to take away your lust of the flesh it - bring back your desire when your spouse comes and reserve it for the other side of "I Do" - this was and has been my prayer - HE has been faithful to do
3. Do not or stop putting yourself in compromising situations. 
• if U know U can't handle a dark movie with leg rubbing and neck touching - U might want to put yourself in that place and space 
• if U can't do the big Luther - u might want to stop having it playing when your date comes over. 
4. Tell the truth to someone about your struggle - be accountable to someone and tell them the TRUTH the whole TRUTH

You will and can do it. Imagine what it will be like when it is right!
