1 Corinthians 6 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read 1 Corinthians 6.

Meditate on verses 9 and 10.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous

will not inherit the kingdom of God? 

Do not be deceived;

neither fornicators,

nor idolaters,

 nor adulterers,

 nor effeminate,

nor homosexuals,

 nor thieves,

 nor the covetous,

 nor drunkards,

nor revilers,

 nor swindlers,

will inherit the kingdom of God.

There, God said it.  He has given you the politically incorrect list of people who will not inherit His Kingdom.  And He warns you not to be deceived because you will be tempted to say, “Did God really say, ‘The covetous will not inherit His Kingdom; the fornicators will not inherit His Kingdom; homosexuals will not inherit His Kingdom..’?”  Yes, God really said.

“Did God really say (Genesis 3:1)?”  were the first recorded words from the lips of Satan.  He still says the same thing.  Do not fall for his lie!

There is great news in 1 Corinthians 6 because all of us fit into at least one of the categories in verses 9 and 10.  God washes, sanctifies, and justifies you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in His Spirit from everything on the list when you choose to flee immorality and join yourself to the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:11, 17-18).

Pray 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Lord, help us to flee immorality.

Let us never forget that our bodies

are a temple of the Holy Spirit

who is in us, and we are not our own. 

We have been bought with a price.

God, may we glorify You in our body.

In Your Name, Jesus~”
