Understanding Sexual Urge, Arousal, and Intercourse: A Call to Wisdom


Dear teenager, it’s important to understand the differences between sexual urge, sexual arousal, and sexual intercourse. These are natural parts of human biology, but without proper guidance, they can lead to confusion and mistakes that have lasting consequences. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.” There is a proper time and context for everything, and as a teenager, you must embrace foresight and wisdom to navigate these feelings.

Sexual urges are the natural desires that arise due to hormones and biological development. They are not sinful in themselves but must be controlled. James 1:14-15 warns, “But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin.” Recognize that urges are a part of life, but allowing them to lead you into temptation is dangerous. Discipline your mind and body with the help of God’s Word.

Sexual arousal, on the other hand, is the physical response to stimuli, often triggered by thoughts, images, or interactions. While it may seem harmless, dwelling on arousing thoughts or exposing yourself to triggers can open the door to sin. Romans 13:14 advises, “Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.” Guard your heart and mind by being mindful of what you watch, listen to, and entertain.

Sexual intercourse is the physical act designed by God for the covenant of marriage. Hebrews 13:4 declares, “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” The world may try to convince you that sexual activity outside of marriage is normal or acceptable, but God’s design for sex is tied to commitment, love, and purity within the bond of marriage. Trust in His plan and avoid shortcuts that lead to heartbreak.

Dear teenager, the devil is a deceiver who tries to blur the lines between what is right and wrong. Don’t let him trick you into making choices that could derail your future. Proverbs 4:7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Seek God’s wisdom through His Word, stay accountable to mentors who can guide you, and make choices that honor your body, mind, and spirit. Embrace foresight, and trust that God has a beautiful plan for your life.

Sex and Lust

*Sex & LUST* I need you to understand that LUST is different from SEX. Lust is a desire in the heart to gain a sexual experience with some one. Sex is a decision and action. Your problem is not sex but LUST. Lust is the major challenge of teenagers. If there is no LUST at work, sex won't step in. Lust always shows up in your mind or head as a suggestion. The moment you give it attention, it settles and becomes your master. There is nothing like unplanned sex...or temptation that showed up accidentally. Temptation or rape is an opportunity that met a prepared mind trained or nurtured by LUST. Guard your heart against LUST via Gods Word and it will become easy to deal with the issue of sex. Sex is a choice, a decision and an option or suggestion. It is not a helpless feeling. It's deliberate in nature consciously or unconsciously. The Holy Spirit is aware of your struggle. Come to him un-ashamed. HOPE EXPRESSION celebrates you. # PrinceVictorMatthew

Teenager, Who Are You Really?

Have you ever felt like you’re trying to be someone you’re not? Maybe you feel pressured to fit in, to look a certain way, or to meet expectations that don’t align with who you truly are. The world is loud, constantly telling you who you should be, how you should act, and what you should believe. But have you ever stopped to ask, Who does God say I am? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” You are not defined by your past mistakes, your insecurities, or the labels people place on you. In Christ, you are made new. Your worth isn’t found in popularity, achievements, or how many people approve of you. Your worth is found in the One who created you. Psalm 139:14 reminds you, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Think about that for a moment. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. Every part of you—your personality, your gifts, your dreams—was intentionally designed by God....

How to Use Your Days, Skills, and Even Small Resources Well As a Teenager

As a teenager, God has already placed something special in your hands—your time, your talents, and your treasures. These are not small things. They are the building blocks of your future and the seeds of your purpose. The way you use them today will shape who you become tomorrow. Ephesians 5:16 says, “Make the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” Your time is a gift from God. Every hour you spend learning, praying, helping others, or growing in your walk with God is an investment into your destiny. Don’t waste your days comparing yourself to others or chasing things that don’t last. Instead, choose to use your time to build character, grow spiritually, and prepare for what God has planned for you. Your talents are the unique skills and abilities that make you different. Romans 12:6 reminds us, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” Whether you’re good at singing, writing, drawing, leading, or encouraging people, your talents are not acc...
