We have all read in Genesis 3 about the fall of man but I want to look closer at Genesis 3:10, "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself". We know the story but I want to go deeper then the story and talk about being naked before the Lord. To many of us are not being real about the issues we have in our lives and for this reason we are lying to ourselves and not only to ourselves but God. God knows everything about us but we still refuse to reveal ourselves to him. Until we stop trying to cover up because of fear of what man thinks we will never be able to get our deliverance from our Husband Jesus Christ.

Just think how silly it is for you to be married and each time your husband wants to get intimate with you, you are covered up. We put borders between God and ourselves and only call on him when things in our lives are not going the way we want. God is saying it is ok to show me you, I know that you are not perfect and I want to help if you allow me. Remember his love is freely given all you have to do is let go. Let him take control. Many of us are not use to just letting go and trusting and some things that we go through we need someone to allow us to cry on their shoulder. Don't let your title, position or status keep you from letting God know that you need his help. With each height comes a different test and many of us do not pass it the first time around. We still are holding on to things that we should have let go along time ago but because we are comfortable with it, because it has been apart of our lives for so long we refuse to let it go. Many of us condemn our sisters and brothers that are going through but we are so afraid of how a person is going to look down on us if they know we have a fault we don't allow God to be Lord in our life. I don't know who I'm talking to but God is saying, "Let me be the Head of your life." I have spoken to you many times and my love for you has not changed. I want to deliver you from this thing that has you bound but you are going to want to give it to me and after you have given it to me remember it no more.

Lord, I just want to be real. I want you to know me in my nakedness because if I can't be real with you then who can I be real with. God's love is pure and unwavering, his love will not hurt or harm just open yourself to trust and I promise he will not let you down. Let people take because at the end of the day, it is you who will have the victory over something that has had you bound. It is no shame in saying Lord, I love what I'm doing but I know I love you more and I want to walk right before you, please take this hinderance from me because all I want to do is be pleasing in your sight.

Hello Elder Williams, when writing this I was not talking about sex in general. What I was referencing was how we allow what a person thinks keep us from getting our deliverance with things in our lives that we know are not right. This could be issues such as lying, jealousy, drinking, smoking, adultry, hatred and the list goes on. Whatever issue that you need taken out of your life it is time to be real about it. Don't let anything hinder you. We like Adam and Eve are afraid to let God see us because when you are naked nothing is hidden and it is what you see is who I am as a person. God already know you because he created you but he wants you to come to him whole hearted and not front like you are something that you are not.

From what you have written if you don't mind I would like to give my opinion on. We as humans living in flesh do experience things in our body is very difficult. I will just speak on myself being married before and now divorced is difficult but I believe that God is a keeper of body and soul but we must stay before God and in his word. Their are some that have been called to be Eunuchs and that is fine but we have not all been called to be that. I think the greatest union between and man and a woman is marriage. I felt like after a very abusive marriage that I did not need a husband and like many hurt women that no one could treat me better then Jesus so I swore off men and didn't want a husband or anything that would lead up to hubbie status. We all are not Paul and you have to know you and your desirers, that is why it is better to marry then to burn. For me it is not a thing about being physical with another perso, it is getting to know that person, the qualities they have, their views and goals that make me attracted to a person. A lot of people get caught up in the physical because of the pleasure it provides for a short while. But what happens when the feel is gone, what do you have to tie you to that person. We all desire something or another but do we know what we need? When I got married I really did not know what I needed and with age you needs will change. Be patient, and ask God to show you the heart of a person.
