The Lord has graced me to be celibate & single for 23 years now, and everything was smooth sailing until I got into my mid-forties, to make a long story short, I would have gone crazy if it had not been for the Lord! What I’ve learned while living out my celibacy in Christ my Bridegroom King is that everything you experience in life isn’t the devil, at first I thought that my physical suffering was caused by some evil spirit, but as I sought the Lord, God revealed to me that it had nothing to do with anything demonic or perverted at all, and I had a peace in my heart, because I knew my gaze had been on the Lord and my heart and hands were clean, but I still suffered physically, mentally, and emotionally for a very long time. The word suffering synonyms (hardship, distress, sadness, adversity, tribulation; pain, anguish, trauma, hurt, grief, heartache, stress). Because Intercessory prayer is my first love and I had the keys to the church, I would go to prayer all during the midnight hours and early morning hours at any given time calling out to God and that’s what help me get thought my pain, I just got through giving part of this testimony today. I don’t suffer anymore and I have no regrets being single and celibate for 23 years. I owe God my life and I give Him all the glory amen…
While writing I thought of 1 Peter 4:1-8GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)
4 Since Christ has suffered physically, take the same attitude that he had. (A person who has suffered physically no longer sins.) 2 That way you won’t be guided by sinful human desires as you live the rest of your lives on earth. Instead, you will be guided by what God wants you to do. 3 You spent enough time in the past doing what unbelievers like to do. You were promiscuous, had sinful desires, got drunk, went to wild parties, and took part in the forbidden worship of false gods. 4 Unbelievers insult you now because they are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of wild living. 5 They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 After all, the Good News was told to people like that, although they are now dead. It was told to them so that they could be judged like humans in their earthly lives and live like God in their spiritual lives.
7 The end of everything is near. Therefore, practice self-control, and keep your minds clear so that you can pray. 8 Above all, love each other warmly, because love covers many sins.
