20 My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck. When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you. For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life, keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.
For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life.
Prov. 6:20-26
Follow me says the Lord. Move on from seeking my face and begin to do my will. You are not saved through your actions, however you engage in acts of righteousness because you are saved. Therefore, I say to you: Yes you are right to seek my face, and to rest in me. Now I want you to hear my voice and do what I ask of you. Be willing to lay your own life down that you may live the Christian life and touch the hearts of others for the Kingdom. In this way you will glorify my name and affect eternity. Let no unrighteous thought, word or deed enter your mind or come forth from you. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you examine your heart that you may know where you fall short and then we can work together to clean those areas and begin fresh.
We are the bride and Jesus is the bridegroom. He desires a pure and spotless bride. Therefore, anything that sets itself up against our spiritual husband or takes too much of our time away from Him may be considered an idol, or can be likened to an adulterous relationship. Therefore, put the Lord first, guard your heart and mind of what you allow in (what you watch and listen to), and follow Him that you may be married to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the perfect husband in every way.
