i want to talk about winning over lust.. now i want to make it clear that i am saying this with humility
i don't want anyone thinking i am saying this like "i got it all together and u don't" ...not too long ago i facetimed a girl and she was showing cleavage, and her boobs were literally stuck in my head for days afterwards i only say that to explain i am saying this in humility and not in pride.. because i know how weak we can be when it comes to lust anyway here are some things u can do to overcome lust one thing u can do is to stop listening to music that talks about sex or music that has foul language.. music seems to have a subtle way of eroding our morals without us really noticing it... if you hear a song with foul language or a song that talks about fornication then just turn it off.. i honestly believe this helps.. it helps to bring u out of the world and it helps your conscience to be healthy.. its good to not allow uncleanness into your mind through songs.. i have a scripture for this also: "blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly" (i believe this includes unhealthy music) another thing to do is when you get a lustful thought.. just put it out of your mind IMMEDIATELY... see when u think on them too long then you may be tempted to act on your thought... don't allow the thoughts to take root in your mind.. as soon as the thoughts come- put them out of your mind.. the battle is won in the mind take everything one day at a time.. if you say "how can i not lust for the next 5yrs?" you're approaching it incorrectly.. just focus on today and then when tomorrow comes, focus on that day... chances are you can handle yourself on a day to day basis.. if you think too far down the line then the task of purity may look too daunting don't allow curiosity to get the best of you.. chances are one day something will make u curious- but don't go down that road.. for example.. a lot of people saw r. kelly's sex tapes out of pure curiosity.. but that type of thing can be avoided.. enable tunnel vision and don't allow curiosity to take hold of you this one seems unrelated but it's not.. forgive people.. when you don't forgive then its like you keep animosity in your heart.. however the problem with this is after a while you will want a "release" from the inner tension that has built up... this can easily lead to misdirected hosility, drinking, drugs, or lustful actions my last tip is spend time with the Lord in your life (because that will help you to become more like Him) and call on the name of the Lord to help you to resist if you feel like your lust has you on the brink now that i've said all of that, i want to explain why its important to put lust out of our hearts and minds the reason is because this is a great way to detach yourself from the world and be set apart the way the Bible tells us we should be if you detach from the sexual debauchery the world has to offer its one of the quickest ways to really be in a different "zone" than many others around you you will likely find that you think clearer and see clearer and you will likely find that you don't waste as much energy and time as many others you will find yourself free to pursue worthwhile and productive hobbies and endeavors since you have unplugged from the push and pull of lust furthermore, it will help you to get your power back from women... even though i don't have sex i have had issues with being led around by a woman's beauty but killing lust entirely in your life can spare you from such an existence you will have a newfound freedom to plot and plan your life as opposed to be pushed around by the pitfalls associated with lust remember: proverbs 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. there are benefits to killing all forms of lust in your life good luck i hope everyone who reads this is able to attain freedom
