    Listening to this after falling (again) into the vicious cycle of sexual immorality. 😢 The guilt of committing the same sin after being liberated from it by Jesus Christ is so painful. 💔 I want to get out of this bondage forever, please pray for me. Thank you Jesus, amen 🙏🏾

      I understand what you're going through. A big part that wasn’t spoken about in the video is that, not only can we not fight sexual temptations on our own but we need our Father's spirit to help us. I used to masterbate almost every day for about five years. When I gave my life to Jesus, I began building a relationship with him that I never had before. He showed me what sin really is and what sin really does to us through his words. It’s been a battle, but I’m over a year and a half without masterbating. It hasn’t been easy, not one bit. Before Jesus, I would try stopping on my own because I always felt shame for doing it shortly after the temporary satisfactory release it gave to my flesh. But I always failed, I couldn’t last longer than a few hours, days or at most two weeks. So many times in the psalms, David asks God to show him the hidden parts of his heart, the hidden sinful attachments that are in the dark that he desired for to be brought in the light. There is so many layers to our sins and with lust specifically. Ask God to show you what doors are open in your life that need to be closed because there is so many and we don’t even know it. We are in literal spiritual chains to sin and yes Jesus sets us free but that isn’t a one time process. We are justified by believing in Jesus and then he wants to to sanctify us after. It’s a walk with him he wants to use to transform us, to make us more like him. So, give him the time and space to show you in prayer. He will guide you to the right video, person, message, revelation in his word if you ask him to. Sin separates us from being in a close relationship with our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus, which with them is the place where true long lasting, remaining fulfillment abides not anything temporary like what sexual immorality brings. If you know that, ask God to remind you of this daily and to help show you the depths of what Jesus saved you from. The temptations will come, Jesus said that would be the case, but ask him for help, cry out to him, he will answer you and rearm you with strength to persevere in this world of sin that will be no more when he returns. It’s okay, we all fall short and stumble, we’re in this together, this is the path of life, it’s very hard but it’s the best thing ever because you get to be close to the best person ever, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiah. Shalom brother!

    Be careful anyone not to let flashbacks, memories, and impressions of old things trick you into feeling guilty or condemned. A lot of times those things are outside trying to come in. If you don’t like it, that’s how you know it’s not from you. And that your heart is pure. Use it as a chance to thank God that your changed, and what he’s done in your life. Also just because you get tempted doesn’t mean you’ve sinned either... so don’t be bummed if you get tempted. Jesus was tempted but wasn’t sinful. It means the old man trying to come back, so crucify him! 🗡 and keep putting on Christ every day 👊🏼

    This past year I have been applying this method and it does work. The deeper I dive into the word of God, the more I find myself free from perverse thinking and desires. I still failed a few times but the guilt that followed was greater than, because I understand what I'm missing out when I go down the wrong path. Matthew 12:43-45 is also crucial in this issue because after a period of abstinence, a void formed and I didn't fill it with the Word. Had I done that, I wouldn't have stumbled and fallen into the pit deeper than before. God is faithful and He will pull you out of the pit, but you need to reach out and hold onto His hand.

      It is important that you answer God's call to *repentance* the way the Bible teaches. You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key-that's how you show your faith to God (John 3:36, Luke 6:46, Hebrews 3:17-18). That opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (2 Peter 1:9), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), *freedom from sin/addictions* (John 8:34-36), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). That is salvation.
      Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:21-22). The word of God is fuel for your faith. To live as a follower of Jesus you must go out of your way to put the word of God in your heart and keep it there, rejecting all distractions. It's a fight and that's how you need to stand to not fall down. The truth will set you free from all sin (John 8:31-32, 36).
      Titus 3:3-7
      3 For we ourselves were also *once* foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 *But* when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy 👉 *He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,* 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
      The washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, that is something you must relate to and understand that it is in the middle of a "before" and "after" in your life. I recommend you focus on understanding repentance like the Bible presents it because it's essential that you answer that call and your thoughts are in agreement with God. That's the square one and the way forward. That's the only way to receive the Holy Spirit so you can have the power of the Holy Spirit to live a new life _led by the Spirit_ (Galatians 5:18). The power for self-control comes from that. It's a fruit of the Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23).

      God has created you to have natural sexual desires and there is nothing wrong with them, but heart purity and self-control in your thoughts and actions are a must (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). God calls us to love from a pure heart (see 1 Timothy 1:5, James 4:8, Isaiah 1:16-20). That will eliminate lust that makes one look at another person as a sex object. And that is possible with Jesus, but we need to not only believe it but also agree 100% with him to go in that direction. What God's grace promises to his servants who live for Him is "life and peace" (Romans 8:6), not a losing battle with natural urges and impure thoughts that result in sin certainly.
      You are in a battle for your soul (we all are) and it has to be won in your mind. Ask God to help you stay focused on right thoughts and don't get distracted. You need to keep your mind on living in a way that pleases God in every way, from your thoughts to your actions. When thoughts come to you that you don't care to entertain, remind yourself of what will keep you focused on pursuing godliness (Philippians 4:8, Psalm 119:11, 2 Timothy 2:22).
      If you realize that you are trapped in sin and need to be delivered, knowing what you need to do goes together with prayers for your deliverance, because you must follow God's instructions to you in your situation. You must be willing to see what it feels like to say "No" to a desire of your flesh when you are being tempted, and see how the temptation goes away (James 1:12-15, 1 Corinthians 10:13). God's grace will help you to do that (Titus 2:11-14) and He will be with you in all those moments if your focus is on loving and pleasing Him above all and you trust that He will deliver you.
      Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (Romans 3:25), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin/addictions and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). You need to approach God the way He expects you to-with the right mindset.
      James 1:21-22
      21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness [that's repentance],✷ receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word [that's faith, which implies obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
      ✷Repentance means you turn from disobedience to God to obedience to God, then you continue on a path of faithful obedience to God, which is what faith is about-not sinning/deliberately disobeying God (the opposite).
      James 4:7-8
      7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
      You have to be in 100% agreement with God about doing his will for the rest of your life and you will become "dead to sin" as the Bible says (1 Peter 2:21-24, Romans 1:1-2): you will be set free from sin (John 8:34-36, Romans 6:4-7, Romans 6:14-18).

      @@TheFightersspirit There is another tip. Controversial, and Im married and haven’t actually tried it, maybe when younger wouldve been helpful. Just imo, but I think based on these verses, one can give himself permission to use the age-old technique of fighting lust by picturing her as a corpse.
      15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
      16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
      17 And *the world passeth away, and the lust thereof* : but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
      Granted, if in Christ she will receive a new and perfected physical body, but will not be the same and won’t have the same carnality and won’t be used for procreation as I understand the Bible. The old body will pass away. We are image-bearers and one can, eventually even sexually in a holy way with a spouse, love the spirits of each other. Remember this life is temporary. God has already created an incredibly fine-tuned universe; so He can and will quite easily judge and save and reconstitute us at the end.

      You are in a battle for your soul (we all are) and it has to be won in your mind. Ask God to help you stay focused on right thoughts. But don't get distracted. You need to keep your mind on living in a way that pleases God in every way, from your thoughts to your actions.
      If you realize that you are trapped and need to be delivered, knowing what you need to do goes together with prayers for your deliverance, because you must follow God's instructions to you in your situation. You must be willing to see what it feels like to say "No" to a desire of your flesh when you are being tempted, and see how the temptation goes away (James 1:12-15). God's grace will help you to do that (Titus 2:11-14) and He will be with you in all those moments if your focus is on loving and pleasing Him above all and you trust that He will deliver you.
      Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways opens the door to receiving his forgiveness for your past sins (Romans 3:25), healing (Luke 5:31-32), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin/addictions and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). You just need to approach God the way He expects you to. And your life in Christ will not be a cycle of keeping on sinning and asking for forgiveness.
      James 4:7-8
      7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
      This is always a good place to start drawing near to God:
      Psalm 119:11
      I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
      That will lead you to transformation by the power of God and freedom from sin.
      Peace to you!

      Hello there..
      Something like this needs a practical method to be free..
      It's not just avout prayer alone, it's about what you do after praying..
      What are the contents of the things you see? Movies..? Browsing sites? Pictures..?
      If this things are filthy or contains a touch of filth like immoral scenes, surely you'll be bound by the things you're trying to escape from..
      Clear your phones from things like this, stay away from certain kind of movies that can stir up these things, watch what your eyes feeds on, instead spend more time reading your Bible and getting clean..
      What of the places you go? Do you go to places where the people around you talk dirty things or do dirty things?
      Do you have dirty kind of conversations with people?
      Stop hanging out with those kind of people, stop being in places where you'll be tempted to listen to those kinds of conversation..
      Rather, work time more around godly people that their words have been seasoned with salt.
      Above all..
      Have a good relationship with God which comes from having to hear God daily from your Bible and people that preached the true gospel..
      Be intentional about getting free..
      Remember
      1 Thessalonians 5:22
      Abstain from every form of evil.

      Make sure you approach God the way He expects you to-with the right mindset.
      You must submit to God. That is essential:

      7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
      That's what the attitude of your heart needs to be when you are going through the process of *repentance* and 👉 committing to be obedient to God for the rest of your life. You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key-that's how you show your faith to God (John 3:36, Luke 6:46, Hebrews 3:17-18).

      James 1:21-22
      21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls [that's repentance]. 22 But be doers of the word [that's faith, which implies obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
      Hebrews 5:9
      And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of 👉 *eternal salvation to all those who obey Him [...].*
      Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:21-22). The word of God is fuel for your faith. To live as a follower of Jesus you must go out of your way to put the word of God in your heart and keep it there, rejecting all distractions.

    Good word, glad you are discussing this. I have found though, now that I am 70 years old, that the victorious life is not primarily about avoiding evil. Rather, the victorious life is primarily focused on those things that God has put on our hearts and that we can throw our passion and energies towards. This will not eliminate, by any means, sexual temptations especially for the 20 and 30 something. Getting hold of that which God has for our lives moves us in a direction that energizes us and directs our thoughts away from temptation. The bored life is more likely to fall into temptation. Blessing.

      You can find answers to any questions you have about your sexuality in your relationship with God. He will surely point out to you anything that is possibly in the way of closeness to Him, whether that's a wrong action or behavior, or a wrong mindset. So, if you focus on building or deepening your relationship with God, then you will be able to seek and receive his precise guidance on anything.
      I can share this: sexual desire in itself is natural and not sinful. But there is sin when purity of heart and self-control in one's thoughts and actions are lacking (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27), for instance, in the case of having an addiction or intending to engage in any lawless behavior (remember sin begins in your heart/mind). It's up to you to know if any situation you are involved in is sinful because of such reasons or any other indication you have from God. Make sure you approach God in genuine repentance so you will have the Holy Spirit to lead you to "walk by the Spirit" (Acts 2:38, Galatians 5:16)-with a pure heart and self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

Im not saying that’s how you meant it but just wanted to make a point. That may actually backfire & intensify the desire for sin if we merely seek to distract ourselves from sin with activities, surroundings & such. I’m afraid many go this route with good intentions only to find their relapse two-fold deeper in sin.

      That's what the attitude of your heart needs to be when you are going through the process of *repentance* and committing to be obedient to God for the rest of your life. You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key-that's how you show your faith to God (John 3:36, Luke 6:46, Hebrews 3:17-18). That opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (2 Peter 1:9), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), *freedom from sin/addictions* (John 8:34-36), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). That is salvation.
      Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:21-22). The word of God is fuel for your faith. To live as a follower of Jesus you must go out of your way to put the word of God in your heart and keep it there, rejecting all distractions. It's a fight and that's how you need to stand to not fall down. The truth will set you free from all sin (John 8:31-32, 36).

      @yestothetruth 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are in a battle for your soul (we all are) and it has to be won in your mind. Ask God to help you stay focused on right thoughts. But don't get distracted. You need to keep your mind on living in a way that pleases God in every way, from your thoughts to your actions.
      If you realize that you are trapped and need to be delivered, knowing what you need to do goes together with prayers for your deliverance, because you must follow God's instructions to you in your situation. You must be willing to see what it feels like to say "No" to a desire of your flesh when you are being tempted, and see how the temptation goes away (James 1:12-15). God's grace will help you to do that (Titus 2:11-14) and He will be with you in all those moments if your focus is on loving and pleasing Him above all and you trust that He will deliver you.
      Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways opens the door to receiving his forgiveness for your past sins (Romans 3:25), healing (Luke 5:31-32), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin/addictions and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). You just need to approach God the way He expects you to. And your life in Christ will not be a cycle of keeping on sinning and asking for forgiveness.
      James 4:7-8
      7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
      This is always a good place to start drawing near to God:
      Psalm 119:11
      I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
      That will lead you to transformation by the power of God and freedom from sin.
      Peace to you!

      Something like this needs a practical method to be free..
      It's not just avout prayer alone, it's about what you do after praying..
      What are the contents of the things you see? Movies..? Browsing sites? Pictures..?
      If this things are filthy or contains a touch of filth like immoral scenes, surely you'll be bound by the things you're trying to escape from..
      Clear your phones from things like this, stay away from certain kind of movies that can stir up these things, watch what your eyes feeds on, instead spend more time reading your Bible and getting clean..
      What of the places you go? Do you go to places where the people around you talk dirty things or do dirty things?
      Do you have dirty kind of conversations with people?
      Stop hanging out with those kind of people, stop being in places where you'll be tempted to listen to those kinds of conversation..
      Rather, work time more around godly people that their words have been seasoned with salt.
      Above all..
      Have a good relationship with God which comes from having to hear God daily from your Bible and people that preached the true gospel..
      Be intentional about getting free..
      Remember
      1 Thessalonians 5:22

      I can share this: sexual desire in itself is natural and not sinful. But there is sin when purity of heart and self-control in one's thoughts and actions are lacking (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27), for instance, in the case of having an addiction or intending to engage in any lawless behavior (remember sin begins in your heart/mind). It's up to you to know if any situation you are involved in is sinful because of such reasons or any other indication you have from God. Make sure you approach God in genuine repentance so you will have the Holy Spirit to lead you to "walk by the Spirit" (Acts 2:38, Galatians 5:16)-with a pure heart and self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

      God has created us to have natural sexual desires and there is nothing wrong with them, but heart purity and self-control in our thoughts and actions are a must (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). God calls us to love from a pure heart (see 1 Timothy 1:5, James 4:8, Isaiah 1:16-20). That will eliminate lust that makes one look at another person as a sex object which goes beyond merely acknowledging sexual desire or attraction. And that is possible with Jesus, but we need to not only believe it but also agree 100% with Him to go in that direction. What God's grace promises to his servants who live for Him is "life and peace" (Romans 8:6), not a losing battle with natural urges or any uncontrollable habit likely accompanied with impure thoughts that result in sin certainly.
      You have to be in agreement with God about doing his will for the rest of your life and you will become "dead to sin" as the Bible says (1 Peter 2:21-24, Romans 6:1-2, Romans 6:11): that is how you will be set free from sin (John 8:34-36, Romans 6:4-7, Romans 6:14-18).
      It is the truth that will set you free (John 8:31-32, 36).

      I was helped by James 1:14-15 King James Version (KJV)
      but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
      Also Jeremiah 17: 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
      Made me realise I secretly didn’t want to give it up completely. This made me disgusted with myself and I was angry with myself. I had a choice; Christ or sin. No contest. So I repented then believing the gospel was next! It was when I slipped back into having sexual thoughts and fantasies, that the passage from James 1: 14-15 came to my memory and I realised it was me that thought I could stand easily so I fell back into it, hence 1st Corinthians 10: 12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall, gave me a push to take it seriously and stop being so very foolish.
      Getting up after backsliding was difficult and scary at the thought I might not manage to fight against it but thanks be to the power of God, I learned my lesson. I am now going to pray that The Lord helps you defeat the temptations.

      Dear Brother in Christ,
      So far were on the wrong way and walked on that some distance. But now have taken U-turn and marching towards the fork where took the wrong direction. So may feel some great pull for those pleasures which are lurking over the sidewalk. But desperately seek anointing of holy spirit. It will loose the grip gradually. Fill your thoughts with god's word like water filled in the jars at Cana. when holy spirit fills you like water turned into wine. All god's words which are filled your thoughts will become life. God will give his grace to humble. If you are under grace, SIN will not rule over you.
      Micah 7:8
      [8]Do not rejoice against me, O my enemy, for though I fall, I will rise again! When I sit in darkness, the Lord himself will be my Light.
      God is delighted to give you deliverance and overcoming life. Don't lose your heart. He is conqueror.

    • @yestothetruth
      @yestothetruth 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is long because the issue you are dealing with is not small.
      👉 *Addressing the 1 John 1:8 Stronghold* 👈
      1 John 1:8-10
      8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
      1 John 1:8-10 are verses taken out of context all the time. They speak of the reality that "not having sinned," or "being cleansed from all sin," or having fellowship with God in the light cannot be claimed by someone who is yet to have turned to God (the way that He expects):
      1 John 1:5-7
      5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
      So, the 1 John 1:8,10 scriptures affirm that there is a place for someone who is walking in darkness (sin) to admit being a sinner. Romans 3:23 speaks of the same reality that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That truth must be acknowledge by any sinner who is turning to God in repentance, and if he or she is not ready to admit it and would claim to have fellowship with God (1 John 1:7), that person would be a liar.
      But the 1 John 1:8,10 scriptures do not support a reality of ongoing sin and 1 John 1:9 confession for the supposedly saved person, especially when the confession is in hypocrisy or void of any resolution to call wrong what is wrong, and turn away and stay away from it, as the grace of God enables a servant of God to do:
      Titus 2:11-14
      11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, 12 *instructing us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;* 13 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ; 14 who gave himself for us, that he might *redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.*
      Deliberate sinning is not what someone in Christ is called to. And confession of sins implies forsaking those sins being confessed:
      Proverbs 28:13
      The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will find mercy.
      So, that way, on a basis of genuine repentance, the door won't be left open and unguarded to just walk back to any such confessed sins without resistance. That is what results in ongoing sin. And the greatest danger is to never have gotten *repentance* right once and for all in the first place, which leads to believing the 1 John 1:8-9 myth that going on sinning and confessing even the same deliberate sins to no end is what the Christian life is about.
      Going on sinning deliberately is knowing right from wrong and keeping on making the choice to do wrong (sin), or just being ignorant of God's ways as a sinner (Acts 17:30). The 1 John 1:8 scripture is not saying that servants of God need to keep on confessing that they are (actually) trapped in sin or in bondage to sin, which is precisely what Jesus would have saved them from (John 8:34-36, Romans 6:16-18). Because sin will not have dominion over someone who is under grace, and not under the law (and its condemnation) as a sinner still who has not repented:
      Romans 6:14
      For *sin shall not be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.*
      The place of no condemnation in Christ Jesus is not a place of being still in bondage to the law of sin and death:
      Romans 8:1-2
      1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, *who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.* 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
      If one approaches God the way He expects, the way forward from that square one will be clear (it's not keeping on being a sinner/worker of iniquity (Matthew 7:23) and admitting that or else the truth is not in you:
      1 John 2:4
      He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
      Remember, the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God, as the Bible warns in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 or Galatians 5:19-21 for instance. These scriptures speak of sins that are rooted in rebellion and the truth is not in someone who is walking in rebellion against God.

But there is sin when purity of heart and self-control in one's thoughts and actions are lacking (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27), for instance, in the case of having an addiction or intending to engage in any lawless behavior (remember sin begins in your heart/mind). It's up to you to know if any situation you are involved in is sinful because of such reasons or any other indication you have from God. Make sure you approach God in genuine repentance so you will have the Holy Spirit to lead you to "walk by the Spirit" (Acts 2:38, Galatians 5:16)-with a pure heart and self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
      ►You must submit to God. That is essential:
      James 4:7-8
      7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
      That's what the attitude of your heart needs to be when you are going through the process of *repentance* and committing to be obedient to God for the rest of your life. You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key-that's how you show your faith to God (John 3:36, Luke 6:46, Hebrews 3:17-18). That opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (2 Peter 1:9), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), *freedom from sin/addictions* (John 8:34-36), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). That is salvation.
      Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:21-22). The word of God is fuel for your faith. To live as a follower of Jesus you must go out of your way to put the word of God in your heart and keep it there, rejecting all distractions. It's a fight and that's how you need to stand to not fall down. The truth will set you free from all sin (John 8:31-32, 36).

Look at her face and treat her like a a human. Looking away as you described it is pretty sad because that proves you’re sexualizing the human existence of a woman. There is more to a woman than sex .

Women know this intuitively, thats why they are utterly obsessed with appearance and spend a fortune on it. Women aroused by touch and connection. We could ask her why she gets aroused ever under touch or other experience. “Why? Is she objectifying the man? Is he not human to her?”

      I saw in another chain you asking (sortve sarcastically) for “the secret”. I can mention one secret. Controversial, and Im married and haven’t actually tried it, maybe when younger wouldve been helpful. Just imo, but I think based on these verses, one can give himself permission to use the age-old technique of fighting lust by picturing her body as a corpse.
      15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
      16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
      17 And *the world passeth away, and the lust thereof* : but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
      Granted, if in Christ she will receive a new and perfected physical body, but will not be the same and won’t have the same carnality and won’t be used for procreation as I understand the Bible. The old body will pass away. We are image-bearers and one can, eventually even sexually in a holy way with a spouse, love the spirits of each other. I try to remember this life is temporary. God has already created an incredibly fine-tuned universe; so He can and will quite easily judge and save and reconstitute us at the end.
      Finally, I did a deep dive into evolution.. all the propaganda and enforcement and disinfo about where the field is, and the many scholars and geniuses who have called bs, even proven mathematically is *dozens of orders of magnitude* too weak to have done the job. If not aware of this I can share more or some videos. It truly is as far from settled science as we can get. So if we add life to what He has made, is even more clear how easy eternal life is for Him. Lol wrote more than expected. Anyway God bless

    What is our excuse? We live in New Covenant, we are superior than Old Covenant people.

      Joseph definitely displayed fruits of the Spirit. There’s no way those things he had are just inherently found in man. And no he was not sinless since “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23) which most definitely means he was in need of a Savior too. Just because it’s not recorded does not mean he did not hear about Jesus just like it’s recorded in John 8 that Abraham rejoiced to see His day (Jesus’ day) although you do not see that happening anywhere in the record.
      Also, Joseph was not under any Old Covenant since there was no Old Covenant yet and so he was not an “Old Covenant people” by which you can use that comparison.
      Nonetheless, that superior vs inferior mindset you have, just remember that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet who lived per Jesus’ words, yet he lived prior to the enactment of the New Covenant (the blood of the New Covenant was not yet shed). Compare him with the Loadicean Church in Revelation 3 whom ALREADY was in the New Covenant.
      You are comparing people by what Covenant they were in rather than by their fruits. Yet I’d advise you to not do such “superior vs inferior people” comparison at all when it comes to the people of God lest you also be judged by the same standard you use and be unwittingly found on the very inferior end, having been in no Covenant at all as you might’ve supposed.

    For those who needs, my experience in fighting this is that the moment you project and imagine yourself in your own mind in the state of sin by bringing in thoughts and details temptation follows right after.
    To avoid temptation all together, I had to learn to say no to projecting the sin state through the mind in perseverance removing it as a possible thinking, I had to learn to think bigger and more honourable desiring intimate love the way God intended in patience and selfless and not a mandatory thing.
    Besides that the ultimate battlefield was to learn who I am truly if it is actually the temptation, or it was me desiring sin more and quick dopamine, instead of picking up the Bible, put on the Armour of God and renew my mind fighting while knowing that God is watching and the more I fight the closer I get to what God intended for Men and Women to be together, free from lust, and full of respect and compassion for one another in absolute purity.
    Therefore, if the mind only thinks low for one second, you are at a disadvantage, always think High, Holy, and desire purity in marriage relationship, rather then something fake and twisted and outside marriage.
    My experience though me, Is either I am 100% serious and sincere and clean and remain Victorious or 99.9% serious and fail by falling from the High Thinking, into lower thinking state of mind where Sin has its quarter, thus you must really renew your mind by High Thinking, that the Bible says about, consider yourselves dead towards the sin and alive for Jesus, and if Sexual Temptation is the problem try fix it first and learn how to fight and abstain (self-control) then get married, simple step, extremely hard training. (At the End you will forget all the pain, because of the joy that being alive in Holiness brings)
    I had many battles, I lost all, but now I have fewer, and still lose, but the more I lose the fewer fights I have, in fact without knowing they are the same battles in same number it’s just falling all the time though me not to give up, thus winning in Jesus name.
    When it seems you only lose when you give your best, you are actually winning.
    (Never Give Up, it’s a Godly Order, you are fighting under supervision, take advantage of that)

      It is important that you answer God's call to *repentance* the way the Bible teaches. You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key-that's how you show your faith to God (John 3:36, Luke 6:46, Hebrews 3:17-18).

      James 1:21-22
      21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls [that's repentance]. 22 But be doers of the word [that's faith, which implies obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
