submissive ready to conform to the authority or will of others; meekly obedient or passive.
Here it is. 26, single and trying to date under Gods will.
Honestly, I have never really dated under Gods will so its a new challenge especially when you hear God tell you to set boundaries within your relationship. Even if you guys are just "Friends," or "dating!" trust me, set boundaries! It is as easy to fall into temptation as 1...2...3...
The enemy will try your life.
Especially if you are not submissive to Christ or surrending your sexual appetitite to him. I had to be reminded that Sexual intimacy is between husband and wife and God designed it as such. How do you show affection without being sexual in this day and time.... its easy, pray and ask God to show you. Affection is more than just being touchy feely.
It is a simple small gesture. (hand holding, or a quick hug)
it sounds silly but it is so true. Its sad but thats the beauty of Learning and allowing God to take over our lives and walk with him and God being able to show us how to love honestly and respectively. Pray within and for your relationship ask God to show you this person and if you and he/she are meant to be together. Ask God to show you what to do in your relationship also.
God will show you what your triggers are...
A sexual trigger is so small that it can trigger your inner sexual drive that desire can be strong to resist. Especially if both of your energies are high. (Demons feed off of energies)
This is why it is so important to date with boundaries. Date with purpose. Respect your temple and your freinds temple.
If you know that struggle with being sexually active before marriage (past or present) you need to think clearly about your walk and the relationship that you are in. Do you and your significant other represent christ? Are you dating responsively? Pray and Ask God to show you, what you are doing wrong or even if you don't ask he will show you.
Trust in the Father.
Boundaries: something that indicates or fixes a limit or extent
Ex#1 holding hands with your significant other and hand holding turns into small rubs on the arms then it turns into leg rubs next thing you know your going to the inner region...STOP IT!!!! Especially if you know you have to cut each others time short past a certain period or time of the day or night.. CUT IT! Don't allow that sin to give in especially if you can over come it.
Listed below are examples of set boundaries
1. No over kissing ( ex: excessive kissing)
2. No petting aka RUBBING
3. Remaing celibate throughout dating process
4. IF ITS TOUGH PRAY ABOUT IT AMEN, AMEN.
5. Trust God and pray together
6. No cuddling and excessive cuddling (no warm bodies within the mist.....)
7. Be led by the Holy Spirit and not your flesh (emotions)
8. Make sure that you both are equally yoked
