I've taken to keeping a small notebook next to my bed with short verses - one short sentence. I have the most trouble when I'm trying to fall asleep. As soon as there is even a hint, I'll pick a verse or two and start repeating them. The app blockers work as well, because if I want to go around them, it's a conscious decision and takes several steps. But as it starts in my thoughts, that is where I, with the Word of God, fight my battle.

I truly believe that this series which is a conviction to me, will be a conviction to those that are struggling with sexual sin.

TY Costi..for your open and honest approach! Too long we…the Church…has soft pedaled this. We don’t “fall” into it..,we walk straight in..and wide-eyed, leaving bodies all along the path to righteousness.

Would love videos targeted at women too. We do not lust the same way a man does- we hide it much better since its much more relational/in our minds/books we read.

Thank You so much sir, I'm convicted and encouraged today to be serious in battling against sin. However, it takes a lot of grace and trust in Jesus.

Sometimes you just have to do what works for you. Meaning lust can't defeat me if I download an app that blocks all porn sites because when I'm tempted to backslide I won't be able because I'm blocked. Second way is I don't even look at women's clothes. I only look at them in the face. Don't even see what logo is on their shirt. Because when you look at the curves God created on women, it can certainly cause you to be tempted to lust and start thinking about sex. But God created those beautiful curves on your future wife so wait for her. because I have a small business, I interact with different women on a weekly basis so thats what helps. And when they try to flirt with me, I take the business interaction outside so others can see us and i wont be tempted to let my thoughts linger longer.

@JBM1012 ай бұрын
this has been a problem in the church since Paul spoke about it in 55 AD to the Corinthians.
@JBM1012 ай бұрын
Paul never told the Corinthian church to repent ... but to focus on who they are in Christ and to remember that the Holy spirit makes His dwelling in them, ... he didnt talk about confession of sin ... NEVER DID IN ANY OF HIS LETTERS ...

What is your point here in saying what you said? Also, Paul did preach repentance. See example in Acts 26:19-20
