Repentance for adultery

 S - Revelations 18:4-8 (NASB)

Warning to Escape Babylon’s Judgment

4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

“‘Come out of her, my people,’[b]
    so that you will not share in her sins,
    so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
5 for her sins are piled up to heaven,
    and God has remembered her crimes.
6 Give back to her as she has given;
    pay her back double for what she has done.
    Pour her a double portion from her own cup.
7 Give her as much torment and grief
    as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
    ‘I sit enthroned as queen.
I am not a widow;[c]
    I will never mourn.’
8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her:
    death, mourning and famine.
She will be consumed by fire,
    for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

O- This revelation about the Queen of Adultery who is judged in the end, comes as a reminder and warning of the sin of the world and the tempation of Satan.    God not only see's this sin but has a plan for forgiveness and is willing to put a hedge of protection over your heart and mind to prevent the influence of the devil in this case.

A -  The application for me is to repent for the times I have fallen for her.   I have allowed her to tempt me to sin with her body and even just entertaining thoughts of her.  This includes letting just the looking at her as a sin to be removed.

P -  Dear heavenly Father thank you for your understanding and mourning over my sin.   I thank you for your protection from this sin of thoughts and deeds with other women.  It dishonors and hurts my wife, is a bad example for my children to see, and only leads to death and separation from you.  I pray for your forgiveness and for your healing of my heart and mind.  I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen.
