I just failed many times because of lust I feel guilty, sluggish everytime, but never give up Bro/sis we can win this battle in the name of Jesus!

[@kylereeseroberts3891]

Amennnn

[@KosmicKobra]

The thing that I had to do to quite, which is something that you must do ONLY when you are fed up with it and are solid in your decision, is promise to God that you will never do it again. Make a serious, solemn promise. At that point, you're bound by your word. A covenant. Else a painful punishment come upon you.

Guilty and sluggish describes it perfectly

[@kinwai27271]

I have failed many times, I feel like I don't want to ask God for forgiveness because I just don't deserve it..but I really really want his forgivenesss...I am such a dirty selfish person

[@yestothetruth]

kinwai27271 God is ready to forgive your sins as soon as you approach Him with a humble and repentant heart, like the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-24). For help, please see the video titled _Be Set Free From Sin_ on my channel. It will take you to a post with information that will help you overcome (Revelation 2:7). Take some time to listen to the messages. Peace to you!

[@solomonchege2986]

God doesn't forgive you because you deserve - Get that first! Keep going to Him and never give up on His faithfulness. If you read Isaiah 53, its not so much about what we do or did.

[@justinchamberlain3443]

He’s talking about salvation here just to clarify. Hopefully you believe holiness is necessary for salvation, but don’t be mistaken about the fact that he’s talking about salvation. His first video in this series where he breaks down Matt5:28-30 makes it perfectly clear. We either learn to walk in purity or go to hell. This is startling to someone who spent his entire life church and never heard it emphasized that way. Piper is at least teaching verses like Matt5:28-30 but he puts it so nicely it can take away from the severity-there’s a tremendous severity here! Getting married will help but we still have to fight against like our eternity depends on it because it does..

[@rajj320]

[@reyesfitness]

@@justinchamberlain3443 Just to clarify on your statement. Are you saying that righteous living is necessary for salvation?

[@brethrenjc.3606]

Anytime I go for along time without sexual sin and fighting sexual urges to sin and I read my bible more and pray I feel so much joy it's like I'm on a mountain and I can fly So much purity and joy with God but when I end up committing the sin I feel like I just gotten thrown down the mountain of grace and fell into a abyss of sin

[@yestothetruth]

It's not inevitable that you end up committing sin. That doesn't happen out of the blue. So, you can consider carefully how you left the mountain of grace little by little until you ended up leaving that grace of God. Distractions will always come, that's why we are exhorted to be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8). The devil is out to take out anyone who really wants to serve God. Think seriously about it. If it happened one time, it does not have to keep on happening. Abide continuously in Jesus and you will not sin (1 John 3:6). 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.*

Its not like you can hide your thoughts from Jesus. Whether you want to obey Jesus out of love or out of fear ....RUNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!! (if you're married) everytime another woman compliments you or plays with her hair as she talks to you. RUNNNNN Or when you see girls with tight clothing seeking attention RUNNNNNNN Or when you feel the need for validation from another woman by telling her your troubles RUN RUN RUN do not let your eyes wander its a WAR !!!!! men alone cannot conquer lust but for Jesus our creator nothing is impossible. "I have nothing good to offer you Lord but my brokenness, lead me in obedience and let me take shelter under your wings where there is peace that surpasses human understanding. For when there is peace in my soul, i have no need to lust after anything. Come soon Lord for your church and until then, keep our eyes from wondering and fixed on you."

[@yestothetruth]

You have to practice some form of "distancing" between your bodies, or practice modesty in how you dress (both of you), and also you have to set your minds on what is pleasing to God. Be deliberate about that and you won't be struggling with any sin. Lust is just desire. That's part of life to be able to desire something. It's desire for the wrong thing or what is forbidden that is sin. Make an effort then to learn what is pleasing to God and be in agreement with Him about what's right or wrong. Also, take steps to remove yourself from tempting situations. Be in prayer so that God may lead you to marriage. If you trust God to lead you to that, then you will also have peace while you wait. Just set your mind on God and distance yourself from what keeps your mind on fleshly pleasures. You have to decide if pleasing God is absolutely the most important thing in your life. Once your mind is in the right place, you won't struggle anymore. Peace to you!

[@oldschoolvalues5119]

Lust is my biggest battle & last stronghold. I gave up heroin 16 years ago. I gave up reiki & new age, repented & accepted the Lord. I can't be an effective Christian by caving into sexual immorality. I to found this, this morning. I don't want to view women as sex objects anymore. It defiles me & ruins my walk with the Lord. This is exactly what I needed to see.

[@yestothetruth]

Keep God's word in your heart. It will transform you. Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. You can have the mindset to pray for any woman who could potentially get you tempted to sin.You need to discipline your thoughts to see them as God sees them: needing Him so they can know of his righteous and holy ways. It's up to you to keep your heart pure regardless of what anyone does, so your prayer life needs to be made strong if you know the temptations you can face any day. Don't get distracted from having a heart that is always ready to obey God in all. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Peace to you!

The first step is to submit to God. That must be coupled with the resistance. This is what "Take every thought captive" means. You should put ALL thoughts through a scan/filter: Is this from Holy Spirit? Does this align with God's logos word? Is this righteous? Will this give birth to life or death? Will this lead to true freedom or bondage?

[@yestothetruth]

You have to crucify your flesh so it does not lead you to your utter ruin. It's a narrow/difficult way that Jesus calls us to (Matthew 7:14). Galatians 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. That happens upon your coming into a relationship with Jesus. This should speak of your foundation as a follower of Jesus: Romans 6:4-7 4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5 For *IF* we have become united with Him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that *our old man was crucified with Him,* that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. It's you who have to crucify/put to death the old man. Please see: Crucify the Flesh kzbin.info/aero/PLQKBVZh0-tlKdbQIK0XeRx9dpcPT-EJzE Peace to you!

[@yestothetruth]

Emmanuel Zuberi, It takes a strong resolve and a commitment on your part to stop living for yourself and doing what pleases you to start living for God and doing what is pleasing to Him. That's repentance, the point where you "give your life to God" so to speak. When you are on the same page with God about any sin in your life that you know, that's when you will see his power at work to deliver you.

Transforming the mind is about giving to peace for the sake of peace. It’s about meditating on the person and work of Christ and becoming one with his giving nature.

[@yestothetruth]

Alex, it is urgent that you repent. That's the basis for forgiveness of sins already committed. But not only that, victory over the power of sin and freedom from sin, which is what salvation in Jesus is about (Romans 6:5-7, 14, 18). Repentance means coming into 100% agreement with God about what is good and what is evil and that you need to turn away from. You must not call good what is evil and call evil what is good (Isaiah 5:20). If you're still doing anything that you know doesn't please God, then you are not showing to God that you want to quit it for good, and that's absolutely necessary. Now, if you hate the things you know God hates (all sins), which would show genuine repentance, then you will turn away from them. If you ever come to a point that you truly regret having sinned against God, then you will stop sinning against God. Jesus will completely deliver you, but you have to do your part. I pray you are willing to do your part and genuinely repent to get on the same page with God about everything in your life. You must start submitting to God and resisting the devil (James 4:7-8). You will then see results. You mind need to be set right for you to be on the winning side of any battle with God's help. Repentance is what gets your mind in the right place. Please see this post that has information that will help you overcome (Revelation 2:7): _Freedom From Sin_ yestothetruth.blogspot.com/2019/08/freedom-from-sin.html Peace to you!

[@denniskoutavas4932]

[@yestothetruth]

God is ready to forgive you as soon as you approach Him in humility, with a repentant heart and a well made up mind, like the prodigal son who came back to his senses and returned to his father (Luke 15:11-24). The key is to genuinely repent. And forgive others as well so that God will also forgive your own sins (Matthew 6:12, 14). Please see the videos in my playlist called _Be Set Free From Sin_ for help.

[@cometojesuschrist8665]

It’s so strong, sometimes it’s not about what I think that makes me fall into sexual sin, my body it’s wants and craves sex, sexual urges are so strong that it controls my mind and my body is sexual active all the way through. My heart races and my adrenaline spikes. I’m a man by the way. And it says in the Bible it is better to marry than to burn with passion but I don’t want to marry for sex and I want to be sure I’m making the right decision. I have gone about 6 months without sexual sin and now out of no where it came back, I prayed and I prayed that I wouldn’t go back to my darkest sexual past, everywhere I turn women dressed immodest, I am to blame but it makes way harder, sometimes I just feel like never going outside at all, sexual perverted society everywhere. Pray for me, pray for me, Pray for me

[@yestothetruth]

God has created you to have natural sexual desires and there is nothing wrong with experiencing physical attraction to someone of your opposite sex or simply with being sexually aroused (you don't want to interfere with that and create other problems for yourself). But heart purity and self-control in your thoughts and actions are a must (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). There is sin when that is lacking. God calls us to love from a pure heart (see 1 Timothy 1:5, James 4:8, Isaiah 1:16-20). 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 their natural urges. 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, 1 Peter 4:1). 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, 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): 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). Peace to you!

"Rather than talking to ourselves in terms of condemnation, we must speak to God in terms of confession." Self-loathing is self-centered and sinful! It may appear humble but it's the same selfish spirit that leads us to sin sexually in the first place. "When we think freedom from pornography is impossible it is because we are thinking more about ourselves and our porn than we are about Christ and His grace."

Make sure you 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. 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 1:22). It is the truth that will set you free from sin (John 8:31-36).

Please learn from my mistakes -- ANY premarital sex will paralyze your walk with Christ until you repent, especially if you're born again and understand how bad it is. Control your lusts and don't have any sex before marriage. Don't think that you can do it once and never again, I did but now it's been a week and I'm struggling. The sexual marriage bond is meant for marriage, and if you have premarital sex, stopping WILL feel like ripping you and your partner apart.

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!

That is why it's a journey, not a moment's decision about accepting some facts as true (like Jesus came into the world to save sinners, suffered and died and rose again). All that must be believed (not be doubted) but that saves no one without a commitment to obey Jesus (Hebrews 5:9). Sinning when you know right from wrong is disobedience to God and it is rooted in unbelief actually (Hebrews 3:17-18). Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him 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. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." 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): that is how you will be set free from sin (John 8:34-36, Romans 6:4-7, Romans 6:14-18). Acts 20:20-21 20 [You know] how I did not hold back from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

It takes a strong resolve and a commitment on your part to stop living for yourself and doing what pleases you to start living for God and doing what is pleasing to Him. When you are on board with that at 100%, there is no room to compromise because you would want to please a person and yoursef (not suffer "loss") instead of seeking to be pleasing to God. You really need to get your priorities in order. And when your mind is completely set on doing the will of God, that is what the Bible calls repentance. It's the point where you "give your life to God" so to speak. When you are on the same page with God about any sin in your life that you know, that's when you will see his power at work to deliver you from the power and the lure of sin having a hold over your life.

Have you received the message of God calling all to repent? That is the way to be forgiven for sins we have committed up to that point of turning to God and turning the page to how we had lived until then. That opens the door to receiving the gift of a new life that we will live for God and no longer for sin and the passing things of the world. It all begins with repentance and faith in Jesus, which means obedience to his word. Without the word of God in your heart, you won't be able to live for God and walk in his ways. So, if you are willing to follow God's ways, you will take guidance from the scriptures. Please consider the following: Acts 17:30-31 30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now He commands that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because he has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom He has ordained; of which He has given assurance to everyone by raising him from the dead. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things I say? Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey Him Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 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/obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. See more here: yestothetruth.blogspot.com/2022/04/call-to-repentance-scriptures.html Peace to you!

Cause we are addicted?

[@waynejeez5620]

It is important to know some "truths" about yourself, before "connecting" to God. How do you "emotionally process life, and what are your natural behaviors?" We enter a "union" with Christ thru "faith in HIM"; not thru our "feelings" or "personality". The two are "joined together", just like any union. In any union, no two people are the same. When one enters into a "union" with Christ, you come bringing yourself "as you are": Christ is "who He is". The "difference" in this union, is that it "transcends" any other union in earth, because it is "of the Spirit" (John 1:12). Jesus is Lord, and "lord means ruler". No matter what your natural "appetites" have been, it is now about learning about the Lord, daily; learning to submit to Him, not the human. Temptations will continue. Also, you cannot "FIX" the flesh. Jesus ALWAYS submitted Himself to the Father, no matter WHAT He was going thru. When you first begin to practice "daily submission" to the Lord, the sexual appetites, or food cravings, or whatever is going on "in the flesh", may actually "increase". This is normal, because you are learning how to function "spiritually", and the "temptations" WILL increase. Fear not, because the Lord is now teaching you how to "fight the good fight of faith". Remember, you are "reporting" to the Lord, not the "minister". God already knows what we'll do before we even think to do it. Your mind is being "renewed" getting used to your heavenly "Parent". All of who you naturally are will "rise to the surface". Don't freak out. Since Jesus is the "Light of the world", His presence will "illuminate" yours, so that you can see "human to God contrast". He does not want us to "mix our ways with His". When you sin, confess to HIM (I John 1:9). It is His very presence that is helping you.

If you are in 100% agreement with God about doing his will for the rest of your life, 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. If you are dead to sin, then you will be walking in freedom and overcoming sins by the grace of God (Titus 2:11-14). That is different from being in a constant battle. You can be once and for all victorious in Jesus. 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 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 opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (Romans 3:25), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), freedom from sin/addictions (John 8:34-36, Romans 6:4-7, Romans 6:14-18), 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. 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. 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 1:22).

@@kxtcl6440 What you are saying tells me that what you call _accepting Jesus_ was not what you thought it was. The key is going to be coming to submission to God. If that idea was not part of _accepting Jesus_ then that's a key aspect that was missing. If you accept Jesus you accept his words that are commands to be obeyed. And that obedience is tied to salvation from your struggles with sin and peace with God (not feelings of condemnation). This speaks of what the resulting reality should be when you repent and choose obedience to God going forward rather than disobedience (sin): Romans 6:14 For *sin shall not be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.* 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.*

Yep. I know there's a lot of hate going around against Islam but if you look as an example they say no a lot and then go pray about nothing related to the saying no. And all those hateful people want to remove anything about fighting lust. I know a lot of people want to argue that Jesus wasn't the Son of Man (as many prophets were called) I don't see that as a mistake to call him a prophet when every single other occurrence before Jesus Christ was in reference to a prophet. However God referred to them as "son of man" by an angel, or Holy Spirit. Because Angels of the Lord are Holy Spirits. And that is further supported that Jesus Christ was the "Son of Man" as Matthew said Christ whomever will admit Christ was then Christ will admit to the Father. Luke said Christ said "The Angels of the Lord" or such "Angels" and not to blasphemy the Holy Spirit. I think that means the Spirit that appears that is Holy, in some context. But the thing here that I recognize about Islam is successful. There is a majority of success in fighting lust. It is proven to work. And what America is doing the past 70 years is not.
