Please try to refrain from using the word jeez. That word is short for Jesus and it’s super disrespectful. I’m sure you weren’t aware. I heard it all my life and didn’t realize that’s what it even meant. But we should fully honor and uplift God’s name always.

Im 24 and fighting lust as well. Keep fighting you can do it. I never knew what a healthy relationship was until i started going to church and saw real men leading the church and their families. Get around people who are further in the battle than you, Its absolutely necessary for you to grow. Keep praying to God and ask him to save you from the grip of this sin. God bless you.

that is debatable since not all (like myself) believe in god and it's up to us to decide if we have faith in god. doing that will probably urge more students to simply follow the rules without deciding. i agree however to the idea of teaching control of emotions such as this at school just out of religious context

Why oh why do more churches not discuss this? Why are people silent about the demands of God in my church? Why is the preaching so weak? I'm no saint either, who am I to complain really. I remember seeing an athletics competition on TV recently, have you ever considered why the athletes, (more so the women), are scantily clad? This is how the poison of sexual immorality is slowly fed to you. No one walks up to you and offers you pornography in broad daylight, (I would leave such a place, if something so dire were to happen, and not likely return). No, what will happen, is you'll be offered, say, a newspaper; with pornographic images in it. Or, a movie; with pornographic scenes in it. Or, a seemingly benign athletics competition, since sport itself is nothing wrong, but ah, there will be sensuality there too. So you won't fly head first into pornography, but you'll be titillated first, lusts will be riled up in 'normal' places, and eventually will lead to porn use, this was the trend with me as well, when I did not fear God and had no knowledge of Him. But by His grace and His Spirit, we are lucid now to these traps, sexual immorality will literally destroy you, if it is not destroyed. I'm two weeks away from pornography now, this is where the rubber usually meets the road, it was in the past my breaking point, but God has sustained me, and taught me valuable lessons through stiff discipline, I am still learning. Godspeed brothers and sisters, I love you all. Let us put on Christ and become living sacrifices that display the surpassing worth of Christ in this world.

Amén brother! We ought to walk worthy of the path we were called to. I fell to porn and masturbation just 3 days ago, and everytime I fall it just feels like a greater pit every time. Like a dog returning to his own vomit. I find myself in this cycle of 1 or 2 months of freedom and then I fall. But I know Christ is greater than this obstacle in my life, and there will be a time where I will be free forever. God says that there is a way out of the problems we face, and that He hasn't put anything in front of us that we cannot handle. Knowing this, we are given an assurance that triumph does and will exist. We just have to let the Holy Spirit guide us and we have to cling to God as innocent children. We are bound by righteousness! Not slaves to sin!! May our Heavenly Father guide us and each and every person struggling with this! In Christ Jesus, Amen!

Keep going bro. Very encouraging. I too am with you in this battle against Lust. I too experience the same thing you did where it feels like almost no place is safe, I really watch tv partly because of this reason. I remember saying to my mum how my eyes have to do so much gymnastics to avoid seeing things that could stir up these passions. My desire is for God to make me strong like Paul where these things would have no effect on me.

How about groaning in the Spirit? Romans 8:26-27 KJVS [26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Because...

The problem here is that you're treating lust as if it's some sort of function that we have no control over. In reality, lust (which is coveting) is a conscience choice to desire that a woman be your wife, which is NOT sinful unless that woman is already married to someone else.

To depart from iniquity.. it's as it is a place that you go in your head.. or with your same self. To go to equity, whereas owning to life is equity. but also not having iniquity in ones self.. then what must one do? As it is a blasphemy to say he who names the name has iniquity in him.. when it is God. But the satan of this world refuses equity to those and offers only labor for satan and inequity for everyone else.. being separate of the righteous. Being the state. And as such necessitate that another messenger is sent, whom He is sending and has sent. That is they won't put God first so He will send another/different messenger. But to name the name.. that's more complex and needs to be looked at more thoroughly. All those who have? Well we know that Gabriel told Mary to name Jesus and there was prophecy concerning "Emmanuel" and they were mad/angry prophets. What I do know is that Emmanuel is in me.. "Kevin Owen" that is to say in Emmanuel. Emmanuin. Owen from Elohim. El. Hmm.. Baruch Haba BShem YWHW. So I should leave America? I left California. They had drought. Uriel appeared to me and said he would issue drought. And I left. I think what we are saying here is to DEPART from THEIR INIQUITY while they are destroyed.

You know when you go somewhere and have nothing really of worldly possession and then depart because of their iniquity and how they want you to just be a slave to sin and their iniquity and they don't allow being christian or the Lord's people and actually saying in works of conformation, what the whole word says, the old and the new.. being all the word..

With the Blood of Jesus we declare freedom and wisdom to the mind of this child of God, that He should see all Truth in Christ Jesus! Wicked and foul spirit, Be Though Departed away from this man in the name of Jesus Christ!

xFormerAtheist- I'm Gabriel and I will be unrebuked. Your rebuke is unmanifest to me. And I am unmanifest to your worldly rebuke. Now I had just said that people who say they are welcome are unwelcome. And a tree branch fell. A strong living tree branch. With now wind. All calm. And the word was engrafted. But this was the unliving undying tree branch was unremoved and unfell. I have other business.

All a man has to do is simply walk out his door and lustful temptations exist. Just going to the grocery store or walking down the block cannot necessarily be safe from situations. A MUCH larger percentage of girls and women these days wear the shortest and tightest shorts or exercise clothing from even ten years ago. What is a man do to? Stay in a bubble in house all day? I love this teaching but sometimes I think God expects the impossible.

Erik, it's true that lustful temptations exist in many places. But the truth is that, like with other sins, one must reorient their heart and mind to Jesus Christ. God isn't going to shield you from anything that might cause you to lust; you will always see and hear sexually immoral things in today's hypersexualized society. What God wants is for you to be able to see these things and handle them appropriately. This involves reorienting the heart and mind, surrendering to , following etc. Him. God loves you and wants to heal you from sin! I hope this helps! God bless you!
