A sexuality lived barely can lead to evil for life
Joseph, son of Jacob, chosen by God, but despised and sold by his own brothers, was the salvation for your whole family. Joseph became salvation in the same way as Jesus, despised, delivered, betrayed by his own brothers and taken to the pagans to be dead. Joseph didn’t die, but Jesus, the son of God, Yes; He died for the salvation of the whole world.
Unfortunately, many children were betrayed, “sold” and delivered as slaves of this world; were trashed for their most beautiful features, learning on the street everything that refers to sexuality, making decisions full of evils, bringing these kids a lot of consequences.
It’s not that sex is a bad thing; on the contrary, for both the man and the woman, sex is the great participation in the creative power of God.
Just as God is fruitful and His fecundity resulted in the creation of the world, men are also fruitful: receiving the fecundity of the Father and are creators like Him. Knowing this, the enemy wanted to distort the human sexuality with dirty jokes, dirty stories and malicious songs. Still small, the children have contact with those misconceptions.

All these situations assaulted the heart and soul of the children of God who, very early, were ashamed of Him. Were victims and failed to get out of this situation, eventually feeling ashamed before the Lord.
After the First Communion, many left Confession, they left the Church and have lost the courage to go to mass, and were sinking. They weren’t bad, but were embarrassed to appear before God in that state. In fact, the shame that they felt was about. But that shame led them to an erroneous mentality about God and even in childhood. It was a big mess!
The Lord wants to heal the heart of man, because especially him, as a boy, he learned a lot of things wrong. for many men were introduced early to malice, to bad words, to masturbation, sex early in practice. The truth is that the wounds present on the heart of man are reflections of the longing of God.
Note that the lack of God in childhood, can compromise the entire life of a person. Not living a childhood with the Lord, the ill-prepared youth misses a lot on sexuality, relationship, engagement. If he does not err physically, he does so in thoughts, in desires, in magazines, in movies, in jokes, … And turn away from God.
Were not a few who ended up getting married. They were married in the Church, but not “married to God”, and it is from Him that the bride and groom are given the grace to be spouses and parents. Many men have been to the altar embarrassed, because they knew the Lord knew all they had done in their youth, in dating, in the engagement. But He wants to change all that. He wants to restore everything. Whatever your age, the Father would have a great healing in your life, he wants to turn the longing in friendship with God. He wants to be your friend.
Much larger than their longing, is that which God has for you. He never left you and now wants to be your friend. Because He loves you deeply, He is head of the home, the family and society.
If the world, politics, education, business, trade are bad, it’s because men are bad, because the mind is needs healing.
With healing, God wants to make us men like Joseph. For him, it is possible to redo everything!
Pray as a man of God:
“Lord, I want to resist the temptation that besieges me on all sides. Like Joseph, I want to resist, want to be firm in faith for love of you.
Thank you for wanting the salvation of my family, my brothers and sisters and of the land on which I became slave to sin. Unfortunately, my brothers ended up selling me as a slave of sin. But I accept your plan today to be the salvation for my brothers and to this land I live.
Thank you, Lord, for the change in my heart. Make me the son you always wanted, husband and father in the faith. Visit me in my weakness, make me firm as Joseph. Amen. “
