Bedroom Ministry

Hey Readers,

This post is in response to something I came across on www.youtube.com. There was a blog bashing Prophetess Juanita Bynum and Bishop Thomas Weeks for speaking so openly about sex in their marriage/marriage preparation conference "Teach me how to love you." The writer suggested that the couple was going against the word of God by putting so much emphasis on sex. Huh?

Maybe they have a different version of the Bible, but the Bible I read states that the marriage bed is undefouled. In my opinion, one of the reason for divorce in the chuch (it's not the only reason, but it is one) is that Christians are too timid and shy and the women (and men) in the world are not.

Saved or unsaved, men are still men. They have desires for intimacy all day long. By not learning how to love our husbands (even in intimacy) we are giving a place to the devil. The devil will send someone else to do what you aren't doing.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not excusing perversion. The Bible says that the marriage bed is undefiled, and that means sex between you and your spouse. If you are seeking fulfillment outside of your marriage, (and this includes other partners or pornographical experieces) , it is perverted and outside of God's intentions for marriage.

God created sex for three reasons (1) for conception (2) to symbolize the unity of husband and wife (3) for husbands and wives to enjoy each other in marriage.

God gives us several scriptures in the Bible that tell us how we are to conduct ourselves sexually in marriage, and if He openly talked about it in the Word, then why can't we openly talk about it between husbands and wives in the church?

It's time out for Christians being so shy and "hush, hush" about sex. Too many covenants are being broken because of sexual dissatisfaction when God never meant for it to be so.

So...I say thank you to Prophetess Bynum and Bishop Weeks for breaking the barriers and telling us what we need to hear.

I'm in love with my husband and I want to keep him happy. I want to to romance him. I want to please him. And...I want to please God.

For the married, mediate on these scriptures:

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

1 Corinthians 7:5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
