At 1:49 the word we were going for was “conviction” not condemnation. 🙂

[@ThaOvernightCelebrity]

nicolelise Hey Johnathon, I’d like to ask a few questions of you: 1. Are you a person with a high sex drive? 2. when you said you were celibate for several years (7, I think 🤔), did you maintain FULL celibacy during that time, masturbation included? 3. If yes to both of those questions, HOW?

[@emeraldreese5164]

Just saw this message. I just made a comment on this. Much love

[@tinamarie8061]

It’s so disgusting to me when I tell people my husband & I did not have sex until marriage, no feels, no getting off, never kissed until we said I do. The first thing people say is YOU were not having sex but he was, he was cheating, he had someone on the side. People truly believe men can’t abstain. It was BOTH of our desire & we kept our promise to God & each other.

[@nicolelise]

People will always have something to say!

[@victoriawilkins5702]

Wow truly amazing

[@angeliquebrown555]

Thats powerful i was told the samething form a woman of God and she prophesied over me that one day soon I would be .I laughed like sarah. But a couple weeks later I got saved and I was had to tell the guy i was seeing and he wasn't with it so i cut him off and now I'm still on the journey and I dont regret a thing. And I dont even wanna kiss my husband until our wedding day. So ma'am you and your husband did the right thing

[@JO58NW]

People can't believe it because of their flesh rules them..you can be kept if you want to be. God is able to keep us all. Congratulations for having victory over the flesh through Christ. Your marriage will last because it wasn't built on or around sexual pleasure.

[@Janet-wy2io]

Well these things happened unfortunately. I didn’t know the person I was engaged too was sleeping around with multiple of girls and women. Even some he didn’t even know before because he said he didn’t want to have stings attached and I would find out about them. He was doing this for one year before GOD revealed it to me. He goes church more than me. And almost the pastor right hand man. I know it’s discouraging when people say it but these things happen. Let’s just be prayerfully that we don’t date such deceitful men.

[@Jessylll]

God bless you man! I’m 18 and still a Virgin and I’m proud of myself, and I hope to continue walking with God

[@jelicianorwood24]

I hope so too but you are human. If you do fall and end up having sex. You can remain celibate. ☺

[@nicolelise]

Saying “you’re human” is not an excuse to sin lol. It’s an excuse we often hear for people to feel better about wrong choices.

The devil takes the form of a beautiful woman who wears revealing clothing, paints her eyes, her lips and her cheeks. She also wears the devil's perfume to better lure young boys into unspeakable acts of lust. Tell young boys to stay away from these jezebels, sent here from Satan to tarnish all innocent young men.

[@jhay360]

It really is crazy that people think that the only way men can be celibate is if they're "lame" or "corny". It's a blessing to see other men truly trying to live wholeheartedly for God and be pleasing to Him! Thank God you didn't sleep with ol girl too bro cause The Lord rewarded you for sure!

Attention all the young men out there who has fell short and you feel as if it is impossible to stay celibate. It is absolutely possible. God HEARS YOUR PRAYERS!! You have to be real and straight up with yourself because you have no idea what God is preparing. I’m actually typing this while the other day I almost slipped into temptation, but God WILL give you way out of escape, do not harden your ears to his calling, Trust In The Lord! Please I beg you and I pray for every young men specifically, I urge and I pray that you will be encouraged to live up to the Godly Standard of how God created you to be. Thank you God for keeping us

It’s called conviction. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. The Lord won’t have you feeling damned, but he will convict your spirit because it goes against his.

Yep you’re right. The wrong word was used :)

[@sosouth15]

Im trying so hard.. Im 24 now. Im not a virgin. Ive dated some gorgeous women in the past who would tell me they wanted to wait til marriage, and back then i was like "oh nah you crazy. Deuces ✌🏾". But now im trying to walk the righteous path and i realise that i desire a woman like that. I have a beautiful woman now whos sweet, got a banging body and wants to wait and im glad i found her, but man she so fine its hard, brotha.

[@dsetgetatme]

Hard to fathom men who are virgins or that are celibate for years because think bout it... How many men in our own families held themselves to that standard... I'll wait.... Many people want to live out their youth recklessly and doin everything they want to do... Then once they get over 40,50 years old then its like "ok...I can serve God now".. Why wait until your old and beat down, when you can start serving and live right while your young and have the strength and energy to do so..... Just sumn to think about

[@adriannamartinez8513]

Thank you so much for making this video, I really needed to hear this. I made a vow almost a year ago to not have sex until I was married because I want a Godly relationship which will then turn into a Godly marriage. & just like you said the enemy is trying so hard to get me to break that promise. Hes attempted this with several different men. One of them I was so close to giving in, I remember making plans to meet with this person and I would deliberately not pray or check my Bible app because I knew God would stop me but finally I prayed to him to keep me from going through with this and just like that the guy stopped messaging and I couldnt be more thankful. I'm trying to stay on the right track because I know the man and the marriage God has for me is well worth the wait.

No judgement, just information. Condemnation is from the Devil to make us feel hopeless and unredeemable. God convicts our heart to reflect on our mistake and grow to do better. But I LOVE this message. Men need to hear this because they feel celibacy does not apply to them. They need to see more examples of men that are not ashamed to express that they fully living for God, not just surface living by going to church and fornicating outside of church

[@reyaalexistv164]

I am starting to practice celibacy . but I'm worried because I just started this celibacy journey with my boyfriend after we already started having sex and I saw the aftermath it had on me. I know his morals are different from mine and he said that he doesn't mind waiting in order to get closer to me but I know he isn't doing it from a spiritual perspective. He doesn't necessarily follow the idea of "abstinence" but he said he's willing to wait awhile to be sure we're in love without it. He may not see it from a spiritual perspective like me but we really want to be with each other and I'm not sure if im supposed to leave him or what to do:(

[@renewedlifeinc.6530]

Pray and seek God's word in prayer, you have to also see what are your true relationship goals, are you intentional of making heaven for eternity at all cost? And what is the Holy Spirit telling you? If you are continuing to ask yourself if you should leave him, then maybe you already have your answer. But the truth is,grace and intentional discussions are needed. So both of you need to speak about it openly,don't be scared. And he also needs to be on a spiritual journey of celibacy to please God and not because of you! He needs renewness of his heart,you both need deliverance and counseling if you both want to fulfil divine destiny and not just marriage. Remember, heaven is the real deal, not marriage or nice life here on earth(which ain't bad but there is more!) I hope this helps, may your have peace and divine wisdom to abstain from any sin and obey God in Jesus name! Stay blessed child of Elohim!

HE healed me elped me to walk and talk again.Thats proof that the Lord is real.I'm just going to bare good fruit & fall deeper in love with Jesus Christ & watch as HE transforms me to be who HE created me to be🙌🏾🙏🏾
