Rites Of Holiness For The Men

Why And How Masturbation Is Not A Sin

By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

1. The body has outlets as provided by God. That means that God foreknew that wastes and other things have to and need to be removed from the body.
2. When you are pressed, especially in the morning after waking up, you go to toilet to remove faeces. As well, you go out to urinate because it is necessary. And when you exercise or do a heavy work, your body excretes sweat. You do all this and never call them sin. Likewise, you should not call it a sin when sperm leaves the body.
3. Whenever saliva accumulates so much in your mouth, you spit it out. And when phlegm accumulates in your nose, you blow it out; just as you cough out mucous secretions out from your throat. If doing all these are not sin, then removing excess sperm from the body is not a sin.
4. If you put a water bottle to the tap to collect water, immediately the water bottle is full, water will start overflowing to the ground. You do not call this a sin. Likewise, you should not call removing excess sperm from the body a sin. Even if you do not remove it by yourself, you still see it coming out by itself, from time tot time.
5. When excess sperm is not removed from the body, it makes the body uneasy and restless. It disturbs the mind and would not allow a person to have peace of mind. It does not allow you to concentrate.
6. Sexual feelings and urge heighten when there is excessive sperm in the body. That means that even if you do not want to think about sex or fornication, you see yourself doing so by force, when it is not your desire or action.
7. The feeling, idea or stigma that sex is bad and evil was caused by three sets of people:
   • One group were the priests, who were not spiritually awake, enlightened and experienced.
     
   
   
   • The second group were the parents or adults, who created bad impressions of sex in the hearts and mind of the youths, in order to control the youths and children. They wanted to discourage sex outside marriage and teenage pregnancy. The intention is good, but the approach is bad. How can the adults turn round to condemn sex when they enjoy it from time to time?
     
   
   
   • The third group were the society, because people were interfering in the private affairs and lives of others, by gossiping, backbiting, jealousy, greed and ignorance. These unwanted and unwarranted social evils have created more harm than good. It has led to so many cases of abortion because both parents and youngsters tried to cover pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancy.
     
   
   
8. In spirit, sex is considered, seen as, one of the pleasures of life. For example, the female’s breast is seen in spirit as ‘bubbles of honey’ or ‘apples of pleasure,’ and not as something bad, sin or evil. It was made by a perfect and holy God.
9. The idea or belief that celibacy amounts to holiness is not true.
10. Marriage or no marriage does not make somebody holy.
11. Holiness comes from God. If the Holy Spirit is in you, you become holy. And if the Holy Spirit is not in you, you are not holy.
12. Laws of holiness were given to humanity in order to ensure cleanliness, because cleanliness is next to Godliness. A clean environment does not necessarily mean a holy environment. However, the Holy Spirit wants us to maintain cleanliness, so that the spirit of holiness will be in us and around us.
13. You should know that sexual urge is a natural thing. Also, it is biological function, which is necessary for every normal human being and good for child birth.
14. If masturbation were a sin, then know it that having sexual intercourse even by parents is also a sin, even a more grievous sin. For sin is a sin, whether committed by a man or a child.
15. You should know that the body and spirit do not mix. They only co-exist. As such, things of the body do not affect the spirit, just as the things of spirit do not make the body more than what it is. Therefore, masturbation, which is of the body, does not affect your spiritual growth.
16. You should know that the male sex organs, called testes, produce sperm form day to day. After a while, it accumulates to a disturbing level. If it is not removed from the body, it keeps the whole body on edge, sexy, even throughout the day. This thing happens daily, silently and actively. But once the sperm is released, the body becomes free and relaxed, and a person can more fully concentrate on whatever he is doing.
17. While it is not good to engage in masturbation by way of addiction or because of demonic possession, we should endeavour to grow in spirit, so as to be able to interpret the events of life.
18. In order to reduce or prevent cases of masturbation, humanity must take deliverance as compulsory and regulate what is eaten from day to day. Recently, a woman complained that her husband was fond of masturabing. All we did at our prayer ministry was to perform deliverance on the man. The next time I met the woman, she said that the man has stopped masturbating.

1. At times, we live the main issues of life and concern ourselves with the shadows, with irrelevancies. By so doing, we tend to create more problems instead of solving existing ones. People should know that our body actions and reactions are caused by the types of food you usually eat. In other words, excessive sexual urge that leads to masturbation can be minimized or stopped just by eating the right kind of foods. And I tell you that those foods that make people sexually strong are also the foods that reduce masturbation, if well moderated.
2. One mistake humanity have made over past years is that we feed everybody with the same kind of food. This is very bad and dangerous. The body system changes as people grow up. That means that the food requirements of a newly born baby are quite different that of a toddler. The nutritional needs of children are quite different from those of youths. The body needs of a youth are quite different from the foodstuff needed by a young man. While a young man can manage to eat every type of food available, an adult would find such meals damaging and uncomfortable. Humanity, especially the women and cooks, should learn how to moderate the food intakes of people as individuals grow from age to age.

1. Whenever it is inspired, motivated and encouraged by evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches and forces of darkness. In that case, the person concerned should go for deliverance, so that the evil spirits shall not lead him into greater evil.
2. For what is bad cannot, and does not, yield what is good, just as a bad tree does not and cannot bear good fruits. What comes from evil is evil. That is why all the children begotten by the fallen Angels were called evil spirits. There is no Holy Spirit in them. And their works confirm them as evil, for they are always bent on stealing, killing and destructing whatever that is good. And all the souls stolen by them end up inside the hell fire.
3. Masturbation becomes a sin when people engage in it out of lust. Lust is a type of addiction, which simply means excessive desire for irrelevant things of life. There is difference between doing something out of necessity and doing the same thing out of lust. For a human being to drink water because he is thirsty is good. But for the same person to go and stay inside water, always, because he wants to be drinking water is bad and unacceptable.

1. All human bodies are not the same.
   


2. One person may be sexually more active than another.
   


3. It is not a sin to have sexual feelings, the feelings are natural. They are the signs that show that a person is biologically fit, complete and normal.
   


4. The count of fornication starts when a person intentionally desires to sleep with a woman he is not married to. That is when sexual feeling becomes a sin. Just as a person is considered a thief, not because he has a property, but because intends and attempts to take what belongs to another.
   


5. In the case of the girls, the parents, especially the mothers, make adequate provisions and enlighten the girls on what to do during their monthly periods. But, in the case of the boys, nothing is being done about it. Most of the boys spent their youthhood in fear, in doubt and in emotional upset and crisis, not knowing for sure the right thing to do. He is afraid to talk to the senior or elderly people, because everybody is saying that sex is sin or that it is not proper to mention such things. The result is that what God made to a be a happy lifetime, becomes a time of psychological crisis and uncertainty.
   


6. If the parents consider it important and right to enlighten the girls, they should also enlighten the boys, for their parental role to be complete. The same thing applies to every other grown up and adult.
   

1. By self-activation. The accumulation is so high that the body must release them. This happens involuntarily, when people are sleeping. For example, a man wakes up to see that his dress is wet with sperm, which was released while he was sleeping. The substance may appear like wet portions of the dress or as a dry and whitish substance.
   


2. By physical activity, which may be walking, running, exercise, etc. The physical activity is like stimulation, which triggers off the release. One day, while moving along the road, I encountered a boy, who suddenly ran into the bush. He could not go far into the bush, before he stood still. The vibration of his body made known to the observant eyes what was happening. The boy was not to blame. He did not expect it and was not thinking of it. But then, it happened unexpectedly. There was outflow, or overflow, because the body system was full.
   


3. By sexual stimulation, especially in a dream, in which case the marine spirits, is the cause. The mermaids cause this by displaying their body in a sexy way, like lifting up the skirt, exposing the thigh or prompting a sexy feeling.
   


4. By sexual intercourse, especially for married people.
   

1. If a minister of God is on his way to the church or holy place, and emission takes place, he can no longer continue going to the church activity.
   


2. The law is that he has to go back, take bath, wash his dress and is unclean until the evening.
   


3. This explains why in spiritual churches, several worship are scheduled in the evening, when all or majority are most likely to be clean.
   


4. If the minister is already inside the church, when the emission takes place, he has to stop whatever he is doing and leave the church, until the evening.
   


5. Besides, he has to provide the materials for the purification and sanctification of the temple and holy place, why inlucde olive oil, salt, candles, etc, which some people may not be able to pay for.
   


6. Imagine what will be the situation, and disappointment, when a major religious ceremony is taking place, and multitudes have already gathered from far and near places. The ceremony cannot continue in the event of sudden release. Especially when and where there is no second in command or people are not quite familiar with another minister.
   


7. To ensure orderliness, without disappointments, there must be a way to control the situation.
