Russell Wilson Not Having Sex with Ciara Because God Said So

Russell Wilson is not having sex with his girlfriend Ciara because God told him he needed to "lead her."

Russell Wilson now has at least one thing in common with the rest of his fans: he is not having sex with his girlfriend Ciara. In an interview with San Diego pastor Miles McPherson on Sunday, Wilson said he and Ciara are practicing abstinence because God spoke to him and told the Seahawks quarterback "I need you to lead her." The discussion begins at around the 24 minute mark in the video above.

"She was on tour, and I was looking at her in the mirror, and God spoke to me," Wilson told the pastor. "He said, 'I need you to lead her.' …
"I told her, 'What would you do if we took all that "extra stuff" off the table, and just did it Jesus' way?'" the quarterback continued, clarifying that yes, he was "talking about sex."

Wilson said Ciara "completely agreed" that they should listen to the Lord in the mirror and do it Jesus' way by not doing it. Wilson also said that God brought him into her life to bless her, and vice versa. Together, says Wilson via God, they have been anointed to bless so many people with their lack of having sex.
