3. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

4. that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

5. not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

6. that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

7. For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

8. Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you. (1 Tes. 4:3-8)

Amen. And most people think fornication only has natural literal application. But in fact, whenever people allow thoughts that are not of Him and His word to take root in their souls, spiritual fornication has occurred. This is why the first piece of armor is the HELMET of salvation, because that is the battleground starting place, which is why we are told to bring every THOUGHT into captivity to the mind of Christ. Sanctification is both preventive and occurs after the fact, as the HG UPROOTS everything that His Spirit has not planted (deliverance) in our soul, as we submit ourselves to Him and His power. Peace

Amen. Take on the mind of Jesus.

Philippians 2
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

You mean like the fornication of Satan, demons and devils within the mind?
