I'm 61 and still have this same problem please pray for me.

[@likenl4508]

If you take a walk anywhere you see people half naked everywhere 👀 it's nearly impossible lol

[@peters6345]

I had huge problems with lust. I lived a pretty fornicating life until I was saved. I actually never believed I'd be healed of my lust, but Jesus helped me, He can also help you. With prayer He will change your habbits and your stance towards sexual desire. For me it was gradual not immediate but I chaged my ways, no glory to me. I still have the bad thought here and there, but I don't indulge anymore or linger on them.

2 simple effective ways to stop lusting......prayer and fasting....

[@MOCCHA101]

How can fasting help? Especially in this matter

[@kkdias9924]

@@MOCCHA101 listing has to deal with your flesh. People lust all the time for money, power, man an women, food, etc. It appeals to your fleshly nature. So when you fast you start keeping that fleshly nature under control and slowly but surely overcome it.

[@clasyinfo]

What you think is what makes you lust. Think about spiritual things you will never lust

[@noticripto]

Fasting really helps, I was on a fast on a completely unrelaed issue, and i was surprised to see that lust decresed dramaticaly in me.

[@BigRandyR]

You don't know how bad I needed to hear this, and I'm 42. My 6 sons need to hear this too. Thank you, Sir!

[@BrentPetzoldt]

Everything Michael mentioned about taking practical steps to starve the cravings (not watching TV, not going to the mall, etc.) is a good start, but falls far short of "the key" to stop lusting. When you hear him talk about how he stayed clean as a young man, he only talked about how disciplined *he* was. It was all about how hard *he* tried. He was boasting about what *he* accomplished. Not a single mention of how *God* enabled him to be victorious through the power of Christ's resurrection and the empowering of the Holy Spirit. The message of "try harder" doesn't work because it is based on flesh dependence. See how that worked out for the apostle Paul in Romans 7:14-24. I'm glad Michael mentioned Romans 6-8, because Romans 8:1-4 and Romans 6:8-14 contain the true keys to defeating this powerful sin. It's the opposite of flesh-dependence. It's Spirit dependence. Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. This amounts to admitting that in our flesh, we don't have the power to beat sin. But Christ living through us does when we yield to Him. This is Spirit dependence. This is walking in the Spirit.

[@Thewhiiiterabbit]

Amen!!!!

[@gaetzhammond9273]

Taking practical steps is 100% necessary in conquering lust. You can pray all you want...but if you are still watching porn, praying won't help you. You are in control of your actions. This is why we are accountable for them. I disagree with your thoughts on Galatians. That scripture is in no way telling you that we don't have the power to beat sin. That is false. James 4:17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

[@aaronautry1981]

You can't take one single edited segment of an entire sermon and accuse mine of boasting in his abilities. Listen and watch his other videos. He as many teachings from the Bible and talks about walking and depending on the spirit and not self. This video cut off before he actually got to the part of how to not lust. Plus he had a few books about how not to sin and its not about depending on self.

[@SirTyron]

@@aaronautry1981 This all fine and well, but I did not have parents, and less so as I grew more independent and self willed. I went straight from boarding school to the army and then navy without so much as hint that this material that was everywhere and approved of was not good for one especially when it was the only thing that did feel good to me in my life didn't involve anyone but me. You get that? When I hear of his accomplishments and upbringing I feel all hope is lost because I was never afforded the foundation he was and therefore destined from before my birth to be a vessel for dishonor. That didn't seem right? It was when the Lord called me that I learnt that this was bad, real bad for me, now I try to stop, something that has been with me from as far back as I can remember. It's been a battle, a life long struggle, that I heard echoed not many comments up by an elderly man. This is a battle, and we who are at war know we need every weapon that we can get, and yes only through the power of the Holy Spirit can this be overcome.

[@jaellouis4749]

John records two instances where Jesus told two people to stop sinning. If it weren't possible, Jesus wouldn't have commanded them to do it. He required something of them. To the lame man: "But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, “Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you.”" - John 5:14 It is clear that Jesus knew what had caused the man’s condition. We are not told the specifics of the man’s physical impairment, but the context implies that it was caused by sinful choices. Jesus warned the man that he had been given a second chance and that he should make better choices. If the man returned to his sinful behavior, he would have wasted the opportunity Jesus gave him to live whole and forgiven. And to the woman caught in the act of adultery: "No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” - John 8:11 It goes without saying that the woman caught in adultery did not return to her infidelity. She had met Jesus. She would not be perfect. No one is. But she was forever changed. Her eyes had been opened to the depravity of what she was doing. Sin no longer held the appeal it once did. When we meet Jesus, sin no longer holds its fatal attraction. Grace changes things. “Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” (Roman's 6:1-2).

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

500 years ago, people used to get married at 15-16 years of age, have all their kids by the time they are 30 & died by 40 due to injury, disease or starvation. Our biology has not changed, society & technology has.

[@Mary-cu6te]

I am a woman and I appreciate this insightful information. I wish there were more people interested in imparting truth. I was molested as a child but also brought up in a church where no disciplinary action was taken against leaders who were in error because all that mattered was keeping the numbers up. At home there was NO teaching but everyone just watched their own television without any warning to the dangers of such. I am fifty two years old now and since listening to you have realized the damage caused first BY church, family, predators and then me replaying corrupt ideas through media into my mind. Your advice not only helps me see young men's struggles differently but also sheds light on how we can apply this to other things in our lives. With gratitude , Mary Barnes in Emmanuel county

[@lawnmowerman4040]

Mary I thank you for sharing your experience, my wife is 51 I’m 52 I had never had sex before we met and she was chasing every older man she could. I can’t get past it and we can’t talk because she gets very defensive if I even try to tell her how I feel, she went as far as to tell me it’s my fault that I didn’t have sex with multiple partners even at same time like her, guess I’m just saying to who it concerns don’t tell your life partner what you did cause I wish I didn’t know now what she did

[@jrogertrudel6356]

Sure hit home for me, for I remember my younger years, and even to this day I catch myself lusting. It's a continual fight just to self correct oneself and to avoid the desire.

[@davids.61]

Sexual drives are normal, lusts are not. Lusts are spiritually fueled. Lk. 6:28 teaches us to: bless those that curse you and PRAY FOR THEM that despitefully use you. This is the biblical formula for the Believer to overcome lust, anger strife etc. Practically speaking when you find yourself lusting after a person...begin to pray for them. Sample prayer: Father please bless this person with salvation and a strong witness for the Lord Jesus Christ… I claim their family members and friends to be brought into the kingdom through this person‘s testimony and vibrant walk with you Lord. Please bless their health and work and keep them safe as they grow in wisdom and may you give this person a strong desire to consume the Bible and be planted in a strong Community of believers...The enemy hates these kinds of blessings & prayers and he (the spirit of lust) will flee from from you in a very short period of time...because he will realize that what he means for evil you will be using for good...The results you experience will astound you!!! Peace my friends!!!

[@rickj6048]

Well said.

[@LawrenceB123]

One of the best teachings on lust i have heard, basically don’t let the heart lust after what the eyes see! you cant stop the initial lust but don’t indulge it, revel in it or feed it in your heart and mind that makes so much sense!

[@swiftbear]

This message spoke to me so much, I'm in my 40's and still battle with this and have used all the tactics you used as a young man. I still avoid TV, movies and series that has anything "hot" in it LOL. its too much temptation. Even at work I pretty much have to walk around looking at the floor. This is the only way to win over it, you have to avoid it and don't put yourself in the situation and let it build cause it WILL build up and eventually hit you at night sub-consciously where you have no control no matter how strong you are in the day if you keep putting it in front of your eyes.

[@gaetzhammond9273]

The only way you can beat lust is learning to Hate what is bad. You have to hate fornication. You have to hate porniea. this is not the physical, it is a mental battle. You can not hate what is bad if you are fantasizing on sexual thoughts and fornication and getting sexual rushes. This is a sign that you do not hate what is bad. Learn to hate what is bad and you will be free. If I am exposed to porneia, sexualized women, nasty music I no longer get a sexual rush, I get a sick feeling in my gut now. Because it is disgusting.

[@jimmyjohnson1452]

Everyone sins.If it's not lust,it will be something else.Paul says "within my flesh dwelleth no good thing". Philippians 3:21 says "who shall change our vile bodies". Just the thought is the sin.Actually doing it is just a manifestation of the thought.

I have been saved since 1997 and called to preach his word since 2010 and surrendered to that calling 8 months later! Our gracious father is gracious enough to understand that we are held accountable for only what he says and comprehend! Im now 60 y.o.a. and I've learned that if we keep an open mind than we will learn until he takes us home, Amen!! Keep studying brother, keep learning, and keep a open mind and the Lord Jesus will bless you & me beyond measure!

Placing disgust where I once saw desire. Now when these bad thoughts occur from time to time, instead of giving in to my lust and sin I am filled with joy for another opportunity to prove my faith and love for God over fruitless earthly sin. Thanks be to Jesus! I love God with all my heart.

[@move_i_got_this5659]

I asked God this question and He answered in the most powerful way. He said "You were never meant to walk this life alone." and the Holy Spirit took the bible from beginning to end and showed all the examples, both good and bad, of people standing together or falling alone. The Holy Spirit preached to me hours at a time and till this day, 15 years later, He still preaches to me on that same subject. Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three is not quickly torn apart. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 This is the most important message for our time.

[@TruthseekerNKAWTG707]

Discipline your eyes to gaze only on your wife! Avoid and get rid of Instagram, snap chat, porn sites, dating apps, I.e., tinder, etc. from your phone! Pray and fast! Fasting gets your spirit stronger with the Spirit of God, and keeps your flesh from getting out of control. And by all means don’t get drunk, it WILL lead you to debauchery, excess of lust and immoral sexual actions. Lastly, keep your eyes on The Lord Jesus! These are ways that help me.

[@lyndalynda611]

Yes this is honesty, the Bible doesn't say pray to God to deliver you from lust BUT it says "Flee!" To flee is to also abstain and avoid all and everything that leads one to lust. Also we are to walk in the Spirit. The Door is honest here.

[@gabehcuod681]

I have always desired to have a wife and a life of normalcy. Yet it feels so distant for me. I feel like the only way for me is to go through a long season of just putting off my sexuality. I just don't know when it will end. I've been celibate for the past 9 years hoping my time will come. 9 years ago I would have thought that I would have been living a pure life by now but I'm still struggling. I'm sure some people can handle a life of singleness. From what I understand Paul did. I just feel so lonely walking this life without another person to share it with. At the same time I wouldn't want to bring this muck into a marriage and I feel that I will have to change for real if I'm going to deserve someone's daughter, a good woman as a wife. To be honest I feel deep down that it wouldn't be possible. I know that all men have sinned and that nobody is perfect. But I can't even remotely imagine how a woman living a sanctified life in purity would ever be able to accept my wretched past - and the thoughts that still come to surface in my depraved mind.

It's amazing to see many similarities with islam with what the pastor has stated in terms of lust, being virgin before marriage, physical touch with the opposite gender, and controlling oneself from sexual desires. It's sad to see our current society being full this sexual exploitation and desires. From the bottom of my heart I pray to God in order to guide you and I would like to humbly invite you to Islam.
