God Created It, Not the Devil<\/strong>

What Was Sex Meant to Be?<\/strong> Part 2<\/strong>

Sex is a gift from God for people who engage in it. Don’t get this one twisted. The devil has lied to us, society has painted a misleading picture, and the church has misrepresented it, if I might be frank.<\/strong> Intercourse between a man and a woman is a gift from God, and we shouldn’t allow the devil to distort what God has created. [1]<\/sup> God created it, not the devil. People have messed it up, and the devil has helped make it a source of pain, hurt, and disappointment. When we use it as God intended, it becomes an extraordinary and precious gift. Therefore, I want you to elevate your thinking regarding this activity meant for a married couple to engage in and enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n

A wife should be seen as the only person who supplies her husband with such a gift. I want to repeat it: A wife should be seen as the only person who can supply her husband with this gift. That’s a powerful statement. A wife desires to be the only one who supplies her husband with such a gift. As I said before, we have to treat it as a gift. Let me say it another way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A husband should be seen as the only person who gets to supply his wife with such a gift. A husband should be seen as the only person who supplies his wife with the gift of sex. To be more specific, a husband needs sex, and that should be directed towards his wife, who is the supplier of this gift, and that’s the purpose. A wife can meet this need and, at the same time, provide this gift. That’s the point when we keep this in the proper perspective, a righteous perspective, in a godly perspective, what it was meant for becomes a reality, and because we treat it with its intent, it is not abuse, it does not harm. It becomes much more satisfying and enjoyable when done correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: In what ways has sex been viewed as something other than a gift?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s sad how society, the devil, and even the church have twisted this viewpoint, causing so much pain and disappointment. Therefore, there is a need for a new, positive view of sex as something valuable and incredibly satisfying when it follows God’s plan for it. It highlights why this bond in marriage is essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[595,606],"tags":[596,413],"class_list":{"0":"post-7233","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-next-level-birds-and-bees","8":"category-what-was-sex-meant-to-be","9":"tag-family","10":"tag-marriage","11":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241101-TIF-BLOG-Sex-is-a-Gift.png?fit=760%2C360&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4jb7V-1SF","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7233"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7270,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7233\/revisions\/7270"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
