4. APPLICATION/ENCOUNTERING GOD:
Set up the Laptop connected to the sound system to play soft worship music to set the atmosphere.

Close with a time of worship. Open the alters for those young people who want to ask God to give them the strength that they need to resist temptation and guard their heart, their mouths, their ears and their eyes.

Our society has become desensitized to sexual perversion. King Soloman says 27 times listen to me I want to protect you from the worlds ways which lead to death. The web has been spun and the evil woman will set her trap. Don’t lust for her in your heart, do not let her flatter you. You have to take responsibility for your heart. Walk away, don’t even look

Remember the Word of God is a light to your path, if you stop reading the Bible or listening to messages you will go off course. The Word of God is like a compass and it will get you back on course let us spend some time before God privately confessing the things that have got us off the track, now is the time to repent, let us pray for strength to resist peer pressure and gossip.

CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I’ve finally come to my senses. I confess as sin my foolish belief that I can make life work apart from You. I’ve arrogantly suppressed the truth of how perfectly well You care for me. I’ve denied Your fatherly love for me. I’ve sinned against You by believing Satan’s lies, I have fallen into lusts of the flesh, please forgive me and close every door that has been opened. Come Holy Spirit and take your rightful place in my heart. In Jesus name. Amen.
