THE VOW OF

PURITY

GENESIS 2:24–25

“For this reason a man will leave his

father and mother and be united to his

wife, and they will become one flesh. The

man and his wife were both naked, and

they felt no shame. ”

TWO PEOPLE LEFT

THEIR FAMILY TO

FORM ONE NEW

FAMILY.

NO SHAME

TOTALLY INNOCENT

TOTALLY TRANSPARENT

NO EMBARRASSMENT

VERY INTIMATE

THAT’S WHAT GOD MADE

MARRIAGE

EMOTIONALLY

TRANSPARENT

SPIRITUAL

INTIMACY

PHYSICAL

INTIMACY

GOD CREATED SEX AND IT WAS

GOOD BUT IT MUST BE DONE

WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF

MARRIAGE , ENJOY IT, HAVE FUN

TO IT, AND IT IS A GIFT FROM

GOD TO COUPLES.

HERE WE WILL BE

TALKING THAT SECRETS

AND SHAME SEPARATES US.

GENESIS 3:7–10

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and

they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig

leaves together and made coverings for

themselves. Then the man and his wife heard the

sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the

garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from

the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But

the Lord God called to the man, “Where are

you?” He answered, “I heard you in the garden,

and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid .”

SATAN PLAY A SHAME

GAME TO MANKIND.

YOU EXPERIENCE

SOMETHING DEEPLY

PAINFUL OR SINFUL.

YOU CONNECT WHAT

HAPPENED, WITH WHO

YOU ARE.

YOU BELIEVE THE

ONLY WAY TO BE

SAFE IS TO HIDE.

THE COUPLE THAT IS VERY

INTIMATE BEFORE, NOW THEY LIVE

ON SHAME. BECAUSE OF

SATAN’S SHAME GAME.

WHEREVER SECRETS LIVE,

INTIMACY DIES; WHEREVER

INTIMACY

LIVES SECRETS DIE.
