Becoming Whole

Fantasy to Flesh Pt 1

Fantasy looks like the scene you work up in your head from time to time. It seems innocent enough. 

You may tell yourself the fantasy is just a fleeting thought. But as you add details, you add emotions. 

Soon enough, your sexual fantasy works itself from your brain to your body amping those thoughts to feelings. 

In this short series, we want to urge you to take fantasy seriously. 

This Part One can be your Step One to breaking free from your unwanted sexual habits. (Stay tuned for Part 2 next week)

Highlights:

Sexual Fantasy is when you have a thought or image and you begin to work a storyline in your brain.

Sexual Fantasy engages your will.

Recognize that it looks kinder, gentler but it’s part of the same beast.

Sexual fantasy is where you start to dissociate or unplug from the the real you in the real world with real relationships with real responsibilities where there are real consequences (positive or negative) for the things that you do.

God gives you imagination as a creative force.

When your imagination is hijacked by sin it moves to sexual fantasy, wanting to become flesh.

Homework:

Ask yourself: Is sexual fantasy part of the ritual leading me to my unwanted sexual behavior?

How can you take action then?

Make no compromises.
