The Key to Killing Lust

Ask Pastor John
Episode: 1628

“The gospel is that I am so sinful that Jesus had to die for me, yet so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. I can’t feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone.”
- Tim Keller.

It’s a coincidence these talks come at the moments you failed or (almost) slip into it. It’s as if God is giving you this as a guide to not fall through.

I struggle with lust daily and i ask that you guys pray for me to overcome this

*TO CONQUER LUST*
*FIRST* ...it may seem obvious, nevertheless, we should not permit ourselves to *_even momentarily begin_* thinking lustful thoughts, for to do so is to stumble over the edge of a cliff from which it is difficult ( but *_not impossible_* ) to climb out of! Therefore, if we disobey the Spirit and thus find ourselves thinking such thoughts, we must realize that it *_IS IMPOSSIBLE_* to *STOP* thinking these (or any) thoughts, because our conscious mind is *continuously* active...never stopping. Therefore, we can only conquer our lustful thoughts by *_changing_* what we are thinking and *_think pure thoughts instead._*

_"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."_
*-- Philippians 4:8*

“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. (Job 31:1)

Guys the key to killing any sin in your life is the presence of God (Read Psalm 91), iv'e experienced this in my own life, my flesh would start running rampant with sin and all that stuff but the moment i go into Gods presence He (the Holy Spirit) plucks sin out of you and casts it away from you, and His presence just absolutely kills the flesh and the all of a sudden i realize as i come out from spending time in His presence that sin is just dead and i can literally feel how that sin gets plucked out of my heart and then my heart feels clean and pure again!!!, God is so U

The way to overcome lust is to try to get to a point where you have no interest in it. No interest in porn, masturbation or sex outside of marriage. You can achieve that by abstaining as much as you can, be relentless about it, and then focusing on other things that are more important. And Finally we need to pray to God constantly on this and trust that he will help us.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
GALATIANS 5:22-23

[nobodysfaultbutmyown]

Jehovah and Jesus please Love me and don't let me destroy myself and end up in hell I don't want to betray you ever

[Boeingx-srpb]

I'm single and waiting faithfully, I love my future wife and it greatly motivates me to save sex and become pure as the best gift I will give to her when my wedding day comes. Sexual immorality does not only dishonor God, the person you lusted to, or your body. It dishonors the person God has made for you.

May any doubts be deleted from my mind and my heart Lord I don’t want to perish Lord Jesus

[brontek]

This was so powerful. Puts things into perspective when we understand how great and sovereign our God is, and how we are designed to be intimate with God. It’s empowering to know that our struggles were never designed to overcome us completely when we are Christian. Though we stumble, we do not fall.

I need prayers everyone. I keep slipping back into lust. I feel like Paul when he says “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do…For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” in Romans 7

I want to please God and Jesus but I keep falling back in and I feel broken inside. I don’t wanna be lost to this sin. I want to be able to have control of myself and live for God the way He wants me to.

"When I look at the beheadings, and I hear someone ask, “Where is your supreme Christ?” my answer is really easy: he is in heaven storing up almighty wrath in fury to pour out on all those who commit such sins. That’s where he is. And you better get right with him and repent, or you will all likewise perish. That’s not a hard question to answer biblically." Favourite part 🙇🏾‍♂️

[frankrivera]

Praying for Pastor John and his family. May all his family members can become God's tools to bring His kingdom onto the earth. May God give us all the strength that we need.
