Sexual Honesty!  DFO 1339         14/4/78

         1. YOU SAID EVERY TIME YOU'D GO TO TIMOTHY'S ROOM YOU'D GET SO HOT YOU WANTED TO TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF, but you're ashamed to! You're not honest & you're ashamed to--that's pride! (Maria: Last night I told him, "I'm too proud! I'm so hot sitting here & I'm not even taking my robe off because I'm afraid of what you're going to think!") That's so stupid, Honey!
         2. Maybe that's one reason they think I'M so sexy, because I just do what I FEEL like doing! I just love & love & I'm not ashamed to make love. I could have sat here & thought, "Well, now, if I rush this thing she's going to think I'm really rushing things like a jump-on, jump-off thing."
         3. I think it's partly pride & partly fear, worrying about what people will think. But I just go ahead & figure, "Well, I'm nobody & nothing anyhow, so what have I got to lose? I love her & I want to love her & make love to her & I hope she likes it & I hope she'll be happy!"
         4. You just have to forget any kind of pride & just be natural & do what you feel like doing, what comes naturally. The Devil himself, though they give him so much credit for sex, has literally made people ashamed of it.--Made them be secretive about it, ashamed of it, like it's something bad. Adam & Eve weren't ashamed until after they got on the Devil's side & fell.
         5. The Devil has got the World brainwashed to the point that what the World thinks is righteousness is just the opposite of God's idea of righteousness. Honesty really is righteousness, to be honest & to do what you feel like doing.--Of course as long as it's right! I'm not talking about perverted people who want to do wrong.
         6. IT WAS THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE, INTELLECTUALITY, THAT STARTED ALL THE TROUBLE, RIGHT? And now the whole doctrine of the Devil is that sex is the lowest thing & you should try everything else first before you finally yield to those "baser instincts", as they call them.--And that intellectuality is the greatest thing, mind-over-matter, & you should be able to control yourself.
         7. Well, GOD made that sexual urge almost uncontrollable! Because otherwise, if people could control it, most people are so selfish that they would never have children!--So in following those so-called "baser instincts" which He gave you, you are literally, simply, obeying His laws of nature!
         8. When you begin to take GOD into account on everything, when you think of everything in relation to the Lord, then you get the answers, the wisdom that is from above. (Ja.3:17) If you think of all these things in relation to the Lord & why He made them this way, then you realise that it all has a purpose & God did it for a reason. PTL!
         9. So if your mental attitude is right & your righteousness is the righteousness of GOD & you're looking on it with the right attitude, knowing that sex is God-created, that He expects you to enjoy it, & you're with someone who enjoys it, you can enjoy it without compunction, without being conscience-stricken or self-condemned or anything else. That's why He says that "blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in the thing which he alloweth". (Ro.14:22)--Blessed is the man!
         10. (MARIA: SOME PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY MADE SO THAT THEIR MINDS DO RULE.--They can enjoy sex but sex doesn't have that predominant a place with them. Is that wrong?) Of course there are differences in personalities, just like the intellect rules certain Zodiac signs more than others.
         11. But those signs where intellect rules are inclined & tempted to be the victims of the greatest sin of all, pride & self-righteousness!--They're mentalists, & they pride themselves that they don't yield to their baser instincts & they don't have to have sex. Whereas the one who is confessing his need & asking for it & getting it is more normal, natural & more righteous than the one who's pretending he doesn't need it & looks down on the others who do.
         12. THERE'S HARDLY A MAN IN THIS WORLD WHO WOULD OBJECT TO BEING WOKEN UP THAT WAY! How much trouble we'd save ourselves if we'd just be honest with each other! You're afraid to wake Alfred up by grabbing ahold of his handle & working on him, for fear he'll wake up & think, "What kind of a nymphomaniac is this?" or something!
         13. You shouldn't be ashamed of waking a man up that way because you want it! It's perfectly normal & natural & the way God made you & expects & intended for you to be, & wants you to be, because that will make you happy! And if you forego it & deny yourself & have self-control & all that, well, self-control doesn't always make you happy! Men miss a lot by having too much self-control.
         14. True, the Lord makes a difference between the carnal & the spiritual, but He's not making it in the sense that everything that's carnal & everything that's fleshly is evil. He's just trying to point out that you must differentiate between the two & that there's a time to be spiritual & there's a time to be carnal. (Ecc.3:1)
         15. ALL THIS RELATES BACK TO THOSE EARLY YEARS OF PUBERTY WHEN YOU WANTED SEX THE MOST! God made you to want it so much so that normally, naturally, if it were not for the mores & the customs of society, you would find yourself a boy & you would go at it! But you're taught that it's wrong & bad & absolutely insane to even think about getting married at such an age!
         16. But God INTENDED for you to get married at that age when the metal is white hot & most fluid & liquid & malleable & when you could most easily adjust & learn to get used to each other & living together. But if you've lived ten years beyond the time that you were intended by God to get married, then you're hardened in the mold & it's very difficult to get adjusted.
         17. Here again we're talking about HONESTY. Even as young people of puberty age when we have that drive & we want to have sex, we're honest with ourselves & we know we want it & we'd like to have it if we can get away with it, but they won't let us be honest, see? They've made God's laws of no effect by their traditions! (Mt.15:6)
         18. THAT'S WHY THE LORD SAYS, "EXCEPT YE BECOME AS A LITTLE CHILD you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God!" (Mt.18:3) By the time you've grown old & mature & hard in the mold, you've got set ideas & set ways & it's a miracle of God that He overcomes them at all!
         19. SO WHY DON'T WE JUST BE OPEN & HONEST WITH EACH OTHER, humbly admit our needs & not be ashamed to confess them & just be natural & normal & happy the way God made us, amen? GBY!--Have fun! It's later than you think!
