When she was a teenager, this young woman signed a pledge with the other young people at the Baptist church vowing that she would not have sex until she was married.
She became pregnant when she was 17 and then married and divorced after having two children. Then remarried. Then had abortion with child of second husband because that is what husband wanted her to do.
After she was born again she grieved over these things, especially over the dead child from the abortion.
We are forgiven our sins after we are born again but there are sometimes still the memories troubling us.
By our own will power, we usually fail.
But if we turn to God asking HIM to help us, we succeed.
And if we have The Word on the issue, it can help us greatly through God's strength.
That Word reinforces our spiritual house that we are building.
The Word:
At the time of sexual intercourse the two become one flesh:
I Corinthians 6
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
(Even if the woman is a prostitute, you become one flesh with her at the time of sexual intercourse. Do you really want to do this?)

Jesus came to this earth in the form of a man for a short while. Jesus was in heaven with God as "The Word", a spirit. But The Word took on the form of a man to be able to suffer and die for us that we could be saved. Then Jesus was raised from the dead by God and our sins were covered by Jesus' own blood.
But some think to crucify Jesus afresh by doing sins after they have had their sins paid for by Jesus' blood.
And many religious people today picture a type of human form of Jesus which is to create Jesus again to suffer in the flesh of man.
But Jesus is a Spirit as God is a Spirit as the Holy Spirit is Spirit.
And Jesus says:
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Jesus is revealed to us today each time the Spirit of Jesus brings "The Word" to our minds so we can know what to do on this present earth. As we do "The Word" we worship God in spirit and in truth.
And today Jesus lives in each believer.
II Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
After Jesus was taken back into heaven, HE appears no more to us on this earth in the form of a man. But HE lives in us and speaks to us by HIS Spirit.
Those religious people today who desire to see a human form of Jesus would have Jesus suffer again in the flesh of man. That will not happen.
But in the end times, there will be "false Christs" who appear, perhaps in vision, to try to get individuals to do something or to try to get individuals to follow them to some place.
Jesus says: Do not go with them. Do not believe them. (Mt. 24)

Jesus says, in the end times, "false Christs" will appear in "secret chambers", which I believe to be private areas in homes such as bedrooms, I believe some church people will report seeing Jesus appear to them in their "chamber".
Just all of a sudden there will be a human type figure which will display himself as Jesus and the person will believe it is Jesus appearing, but it will be a false Christ.
Jesus warns us as follows:
Matthew 24
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
(If anyone comes saying, "I saw Jesus in my bedroom," believe it not!)
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
When I attended the church group Word of Faith in the early 1980's, individuals often came saying they had seen an angel. I always wondered about this for they never told any message sent by the angel or anything that angel did. I felt their visions might be conjured from their own minds.
Paul warns: Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

As we live on this present earth, The Word, Jesus, is our light. HE brings thoughts to our mind to show us the way to go and we, who belong to Him, follow His Word.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Devils also bring thoughts to our mind. But their goal is to steal, to kill, and to destroy. We flee from those ideas brought by devils.
If we belong to God, we recognize the voice of Jesus, The Word, The Holy Spirit of Jesus.
Jesus said: John 10:4-5 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Jesus comes to us that we might have life and have it even more abundantly than we already have life.
So those thoughts that steal, kill and destroy are thoughts of devils and we do not follow those instructions. Devils also bring thoughts of the past to torment us and destroy us if we will let that happen. Thoughts from devils bring sadness, discomfort, torment.
We recognize it is a devil bringing such thoughts and we call out to God for help and God does help us when we turn to HIM. And we flee from thoughts from devils and we follow the thoughts sent by God by HIS Spirit.

As we wait for the return of Jesus where HE take us off this earth and takes us to the new heaven and the new earth, the apostle Peter says to us the following concerning how we are to live as we wait for Jesus.
II Peter 3:14-15
We cannot be involved in the schemes of this present world. We can't give approval to political parties where much evil is being done and where Bible is flaunted in hypocritical ways before our faces. We can't protest in the streets. Our kingdom is not of this world. We are just waiting on this earth for Jesus to return and remove us to this earth and take us to the new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells. This present earth will never be righteous regardless of what we might try to do.
Righteousness is in the new heaven and the new earth which God has prepared for HIS people.
Romans 12:2 Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Pray for those in authority, but don't entangle yourself with them.
I Timothy 2:1-3
And Paul says:
II Timothy 2:3-4 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please HIM who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
As those chosen by God, follow God and serve God, doing the Word of God according to the New Testament Bible.

The way to go on this earth is the way of Jesus, The Word.
The gates of hell will not prevail against that Word revealed to us by God concerning the matter at hand.
John 10
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I (The Word) am the door of the sheep.
27 My sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

When we allow ourselves to think on the past, we often become depressed or go in the way of destruction. We cannot go forward if we linger in the past memories.
The apostle Paul said to the church:
Philippians 3:12-15 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded:
We cannot dwell in the past and go forward with God.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
