*The Course to Intercourse - Part 2: The Arousal of Animals*
*Psalms 36:1-12*
Sin lurks deep in the hearts of the wicked, forever urging them on to evil deeds.
They have no fear of God to hold them back.
2Instead, in their conceit, they think they can hide their evil deeds and not get caught.
3Everything they say is crooked and deceitful; they are no longer wise and good.
4They lie awake at night to hatch their evil plots instead of planning how to keep away from wrong.
5Your steadfast love, O Lord, is as great as all the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.
6Your justice is as solid as God’s mountains.
Your decisions are as full of wisdom as the oceans are with water.
You are concerned for men and animals alike.
7How precious is your constant love, O God!
All humanity takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8You feed them with blessings from your own table and let them drink from your rivers of delight.
9For you are the Fountain of life; our light is from your light.
10Pour out your unfailing love on those who know you!
Never stop giving your blessings to those who long to do your will.
11Don’t let these proud men trample me.
Don’t let their wicked hands push me around.
12Look!
They have fallen.
They are thrown down and will not rise again.
Previously we talked about the eternal qualities given to us by God as Children of God entrusted with his image.
We have talked about willingness to accept God’s word and what it means to be “Religious”.
We have emphasized the power of understanding God’s authority in your life and how you can still be anointed but never do God’s will or receive his reward.
We have tried to show you the importance of letting God establish you no matter the circumstance and how he uses circumstance to mold your hearts.
We established our responsibility to carry that image to this world as His billboards.
Furthermore, as his children it is up to us to re-think our current position, even our desires, when it concerns God’s will for our lives.
The fact that we desire at all shows us that we are fallen.
This discovery tells us that in our pre-fallen condition man was never in need of anything, but rather as his children found freedom in God’s provision.
All of the eternal qualities and kingdom principles teach us a very important truth.
We need to think in a pre-fallen mindset and approach God and his word from the aspect of eternity.
We should be carrying eternity in every decision because we have been awakened to God through Jesus Christ, and only the truly evil grasp at God through desire.
This want awakened in us, leads us to aspire to be Christ like and in that we find the eternal provision of God.
God expects from us completeness, but we must realize that we can never be complete apart for him.
What I mean by completeness is our lives surrendered and in his hands completely.
It implies that our physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are awakened to his provision and are focused on his call.
In him we have provision and in his eternal provision will come our decisions because he never leaves his children wanting.
The passage above shows us the difference between those who grasp at God by their desires, and the love and provision, God has for his children who absolutely are sold on him and his call.
So the point in all of this is for us to re-think how to think and to re-evaluate what we feel.
Understand God cares for the condition of our hearts much more than it’s desires.
So as the condition of our heart is awakened in Christ the giver of life awakened and shapes his eternal qualities in us so that we would have a more abundant life as we draw nearer to him.
These qualities are what is important, for to become Christ like simply means to wear the image of God as he intended.
Meaning he has penetrated our deepest parts from the complexity of our thoughts to the wants of our heart.
Notice I am not saying he shapes our desires, but instead I am saying he becomes our complete want.
Therein lies our abundance.
This knowledge is the secrete to abundance if applied to our lives from love of our heart.
Matthew 13:3
“The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance.
Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
*God’s Provision*
As we will see, however, that when we set a course in our lives to function from our arousals and desires, it sets our rudder on the wrong course for intercourse.
When we base our lives on the eternal we get eternal fruit, however, when we are compelled by our arousals we are left to broken emotions, feelings, and attachments of this world.
With all these worldly attachments we can be left to the fallen emotions, psychological damage, and physical guilt that accompany these sinful actions.
These actions are sin because they are a direct violation of the provision and image of God entrusted to us.
The fruit of God is wrapped in purity, wellness, wholeness, and security because they are eternal fruits.
A deep contrast to all the baggage that comes from one night stands, bad relationships and so forth.
So what does the word of God teach us about God’s provision concerning relationships?
*Gen 2:18-25*
8 The Lord God said, “*It is not good for the man to be alone*.
I will make a *helper* suitable for him.”
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air.
He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.
But for Adam no suitable *helper* was found.
21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
God’s provision wasn’t just limited to the physicality of the universe.
God’s provision went much deeper then that.
He didn’t just limit his provision to just necessities of life such as food, shelter, and authority.
God in his wisdom foresaw the need in man for companionship.
So he ordained for man a helper.
*Looking for Love*
When we think of God provision it seems like churches are always talking about financial needs, physical needs, and even healing.
However this great passage teaches us a lot about God’s purpose and provision.
God recognizes that Adam had a need for companionship.
Adam never knocked on the throne room door and asked for a wife.
God saw his need and simply provided it.
Why?
He was completely in Gods will and completely in his obedience.
He was aligned completely in the source of life.
Think about that.
In the bible no one whoever came in contact with Jesus fell to their knees and said, “Lord despite the condition of my heart, despite that my desires are evil, and despite I truly don’t know your will, I need a boyfriend.”
Instead in the Christ the apostles found all their needs met.
What does that say in comparison to the world’s hunt that is put on every weekend at the local “meat market?”
See when we play the games of sexuality we sin against God’s provision.
As God’s billboards we are to show the opposite sex the eternal qualities of God and not arouse their desires.
Our bodies are our spiritual act of worship.
When you look at the “chase” and the “game” people play in dating it all seems so small and stupid compared to what God has for you when you see it these terms.
However, so many times instead of being completely obedient to God’s word we re-define it for our justifications.
A perfect example is the word virgin.
