Dr. T.D Jakes, the bishop of The Potter’s House spoke to his members about an important mystery about sex in marriages. According to his sermon posted on NDEPO TV, he explained why God put the hymen inside women.
He explained that In God’s divine plan and order, all sexuality before marriage is Biblically forbidden. “Where I come from, pastors did not teach abstinence from sex. God planned, ordained, and intended sex,” He said. According to him, any sex that is not between a man and his wife, is according to the scripture, “perverting”. The word perverting means deviation from the plan.
Speaking further, he said that contrary to the way most of us have been taught, God’s plan was not for men to have sex with women. It was not God’s plan for men to have sex with men. It was not God’s plan for women to have sex with women. He said that the only plan God ordained for sexuality was for a man to have sex with his wife. Anytime you step outside that, you are perverting the plan because that’s the only Biblical plan.
He explained that when God looks at marriage, He looks at it from a perspective of covenant and sexuality consummate a covenant between us. Because in Biblical understandings, covenants are ratified with blood. A blood covenant is the strongest covenant known to man, it means you put your life on it. “So, God put in the woman a ‘flesh wall’ known as the hymen and when we break through it, we come into the Holy of Holies,” he said.
In so doing, He designed that the man, when he enters a sexual relationship with a woman, that consummation of the marriage vow will release blood. The blood validates the sanctity of the marriage (we have become one in flesh through the blood). “And if you understand this, this is a powerful truth which is a shadow of us becoming one with Christ through the blood,” he said.
Finally, he said that the blood covenant is not just between him and his wife but between his wife, himself, and the Lord which is a three-fold cord that can not easily be broken. According to him, we have to start teaching what the principle is, to our children. The truth of the matter is that most of us have already messed all these up. It is never too late but it can be corrected.
