As men who live in a very perverted world, unlike any other generation before us, where Christians carry a porn store on their cell phones all day, often without any blocks or accountability, you have to commit to being clean to be successful.  A man who will be vulnerable to drop his sword has never really assessed the battle ground he is in, and his place in that battle.

This man has never, or completely, committed in his heart to be clean.  Much like the man who never purposes to have a retirement, he lives life unaware that he will be broke because he didn’t purpose to care for himself or his family.

Some have never been guided to have a moment with God and with other men to declare becoming clean sexually.  If you’re a young man, being clean is about freedom from porn, self behavior, and it's about how you date Christian women.  If you are married, clean means being faithful and satisfied with the wife God gave to you as a gift.  No man is worthy of a wife, she is a gift to you.

In this battle the naive pay the heaviest price.  If you haven’t purposed to be clean when temptation comes, and I said when, not if, you can be truly caught off guard, and with little strength, or support, you may fail unnecessarily.

If you haven’t taken a moment to commit to sexual purity, take a moment and pray a prayer similar to this one:

Lord, you saved me, all of me.  I declare and purpose in my heart to be clean sexually.  Forgive me of all my sexual sin and I receive your death as full payment for my past.  I commit all of my sexuality, my eyes, heart and sex organ to obey only you.  I am committed to do all that it takes to stay sexually clean.  Thank you for all you have done to help me stay clean all the days of my life, in Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer, or one like this, then tell another man that you have purposed to be sexually clean all of your life, and have them pray in agreement with you about your clean commitment.
