V is for Victory in Christ By Keeping Your Virginity

This title I am sure is SHOCKING !!! But Why is it shocking ? It should be an everyday belief and practice among our young or old women who are not joined in a three fold cord by a covenant with the Lord. Some who know me may say ,"I KNOW YOU AIN'T TELLIN SOMEBODY TO BE A VIRGIN!" Well, I am and I am telling them because they need to hear it. Girls need to be told at a early age and encouraged to hold on to a precious gift. They should be taught just how precious it is.

Yes. I agree that this is the ultimate show of Love and Trust. It is because I believe this that I want to encourage our young girls to keep this prize possession even when you think or know for sure that Mr. Right has come along. Now if you went out and found him you have already got the WRONG MAN ! The Word of God says, ' Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.'-Proverbs 18:22. In other words, 'When a man findeth a wife he findeth a good thing.' The 'light-bulb' word her is FINDETH. The man finds the woman she does not go out and find him. So while he is looking and searching, the young woman or the young girl should be preparing her self for the day he comes to her.

She should be preparing by being a virtuous woman or young lady. She prepares by educating herself so she can handle matters of concern in her household with her husband. She needs to know how to partner with him in decisions about finances and children and other family members. She prepares by keeping her self looking 'Kept by the Lord'. God should be her MAIN concern so if she is busy being about his business he will keep her. She will walk out of her home on her way to school or work looking like he is taking care of her. She should walk out like she knows she is loved. She sets her standards so that only a man that is seeking God first can find her because God will reward him with her.

She must come out dressed as though she knows that HOLINESS is the real beauty. A quite and humble spirit is the real 'attraction' for a young man. She obtains and maintains this by spending time with the Lord. She must be read the Word, explained the Word and taught the Word. When she is being trained up in this manner she learns the true value of herself. She learns that her body is the temple of the Lord and should be kept clean. She learns that if she gives herself to anyone other than her HUSBAND she has violated God's temple. It becomes defiled and when something is spiritually defiled it becomes dirty and unclean in the sight of the Lord. The Bible is her guide to what a woman or young girl of Christ should stand for and what she should represent in her words, deeds and actions. When she learns that her Virginity is a precious jewel only for the man worthy of it,by taking her hand in matrimony and becoming one with her she will not settle for less.

She will know that she should have a spirit of Expectancy when it comes to men and how they are to treat her. She should expect that they will treat her with the same reverence as God did and does the Church. The man that comes into her life must also want to present her without a 'spot' ,or wrinkle, or any such thing but that she be holy and without blemish. The Word tells us in Ephesians 5:27 ' That he might present it to himself a glorious church , not having a spot, or wrinkle , or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish.' A young girl should be trained up to know she has the RIGHT to be saved for the honor of marriage. She should know that if a young man wants her to violate herself by giving herself before her covenant of marriage that he does not really love her. If he loved her he would be concerned about her Soul because he should want a whole woman and that includes Mind, Body and Soul.

If he would not dump dirt upon his own body and soil himself why should she allow him to do the same thing spiritually to her ? Instead of us teaching our young girls how to try and get around the consequences of sex outside of marriage, such as broken hearts, disrespectful actions, disrespectful words, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, HPV and AIDS, we need to be teaching them about the honor of waiting until he has placed the ring on her finger. A fiancee is not a guarantee of a covenant , That statu is just a possiblity, a 'promissory note' that sometimes can not be fulfilled. He is not her husband at that time and has not made an agreement between himself , her and God to honor her , respect her and love her. She must wait until they have sealed the covenant with God's stamp of approval which is the standing before God and making a Vow to him.

This vow should be kept or not made at all. When a young man gives her his last name by marriage , that is going to live for generations to come , then she can become one with him physically. She can give to him what no other man on this earth has ever possessed. She must know how special the gift is that she can give to the man that takes her hand in marriage.It may seem impossible for a young girl to wait but plant this Word within her, Nurture it and watch it grow and you just may save her soul and her virtue. Even if she falls, you have raised her up with the Word and if it is within her the Spirit of conviction will be so strong she will not be comfortable with what she has done. She will have to go before the Lord with a heart full of sorrow and regret.

Because she has been taught the Word she will REPENT. She will stand back up and dust herself up and restore herself because God has the power to restore. He can not only restore but he can clean her up and make her WHOLE again. She would not be comfortable having sex outside of the will of the Lord. She has been taught the importance and honor of saving herself . She has been brought up to carry herself as someone very special and rare. The Word of God says to be in the World but not of it ! The World only discusses birth control methods and safe sex. Well that is for people who do not realize the spiritual consequences of fornicating. Their only concern is not to have to pay the physical price for being out of his Will but there is a higher price and it is spiritual !

Once we have done our jobs as Women of God with the young lady or ladies placed in our path we can only pray a covering over them and send them forth. They will have to take what we have given them and apply to every aspect of their lives. They must make their own decisions about their bodies. I truly believe that what has been planted in them will be cemented there no matter what and they will come out as pure gold because they were taught the right way. I know a woman can go down the aisle as a virgin . There is NOTHING too hard for God ! I am not talking about this mess the world calls 'born again virgin' ! That is a bunch of MESS ! The enemy is behind that mentality. A virgin has never been sexually involved with a man. Her body does not know a man intimately in that manner. She is intact. Once that has been taken it can not be given back. She can not be a virgin again.

She has allowed a man to know her body and to put within her all of the things another man has deposited in the last female he was with sexually. She can not wash that out, can not cover it up, it is there always. She can not say she has never had a man. God does forgive and he makes us all brand new if we want to be forgiven but even he will not give back the precious gift of her virginity once she have given that away. She can however get back up and go forward determined to make herself the best future wife she can be by not allowing herself to be put in that situation again . She will occupy until he comes by making herself the very best woman she can be within the Will of God.

Who am I to say this ? I am the Woman who was once a single, unmarried female, a sixteen year girl once in love, who trusted and believed and yes was CONVICTED. I am the Woman who loves our young girls enough to tell them something NEW. Tell them something of true value, that can truly prosper them and give them favour in the eye sight of God. They will never regret the decision to keep themselves until they enter into the bedchamber with the Man they have joined spiritually and emotionally. A man that she can worship God with. She can call on God with him to fight the enemy in their home and in their marriage because the enemy is going to come for the marriage ! He loves to see us break our covenant with God. She will stand with this man and identify the enemy and will crush him when he attacks !

They are one in all aspects once they marry and they will reverence, honor and love each other and each others bodies. She will learn her body is his and his body is hers according to the Word.-Be Blessed.
