lets not decieve ourselves, if sexual lust comes, brother, sister, even if you preach holiness and purity, if the grace of Jesus that comes through faith and personal decision isn't there, you will fall like dodo. If you only overcome sexual lust ,becos you preach it, without inner encounter, it means you are pretending and you will certainly fall, if not now , maybe later. so are you saying, if you don't preach it, you wouldn't be able to stand against lust? what many Christian youths, who aren't preaching as you do, so can't they overcome lust? Brother, sexual lust knows no pastor or Bishops, alot of Pastors masturbate, some even ask for sex from female members after preaching purity, holiness and abstinence, I have been there. I was once guilty, untill God's encounter saved me.my methodological didn't work.I sing in the choir and hit the bathroom for masturbation.I even preached.Today I can boldly say by his grace, the things I used to do, I do them no more, when I had real encounter, empowerd by Gods word. Bro, congi knows no friend, only Jesus can do it.many preaching Christians even lure and seduce people. It's only Jesus and personal decision. 3 Likes |

Good! ideas, but you can improve on your communication skill, there is no need of using vague and ambiguous words when you can pass the message in an easy to understand way. |

2. EXPERIMENT: And before you rush to comment based on the outline I employ you read through this. THIS IS HERESY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER Why EXPERIMENT with sin? As much as I appreciate the poster's good intention to help the youth, I must say that this point no 2 is 100% of the DEVIL. I say by the spirit of God, Let nobody EXPERIMENT WITH SIN TO SEE IF HE/SHE CAN WITHSTAND IT OR NOT. RATHER, CHRISTIANS ARE TO STEER CLEAR OF ANYTHING THAT IS SIN. 1Thess 5:22, Rom 14:16[center][/center] Experimenting with immorality is like LIGHT experimenting with DARKNESS to see if it is ready to overcome it! Isn't that ridiculous? Please, let's be careful not to try to add to the Holy Scriptures. God forbids this in totality. We are to obey the scriptures. John 10:35. [b]Olusany333, hear this, Satan just spoke through you if you are not His agent already. And I pray God will have mercy on you IJN. Why? It is clearly stated in the scriptures what Christians are supposed to do in every matter including the issue of lust. Christian youths are to i. flee youthful lusts -2Tim 2:22 (e.g Joseph in Portiphar's house when in Egypt) - anything that can bring about lust, avoid. ii. make effort to be part of the people that truly and genuinely love the Lord and follow in their steps -2Tim 2:22 ii. avoid all appearance of evil 1Thess 5:22 iii. let nobody mistaken your good for evil Rom 14:16 iv. consciously study & meditate on God's word regularly -Psalm 1:1-3, Psalm 119:11, Col 3:16 v. think only about good things Philip 4:8 Also, it is Non-Biblical for a child of God to create opportunity to be tempted because i. Jesus the omniscient instructs that we should pray against temptations (and never to desire it at all) -Matt 6:13 ii. a christian is not to give any room to the devil -Eph 4:27 Get this straight please, dont try to see whether you can withstand any sin. That is deception from Hell. All you need is OBEY GOD. DESIRE TO OBEY GOD AT ALL TIMES, COME WHAT MAY! Concerning Lusts, God is saying the opposite of what the poster stated. He said "You can only have victory over what you have encountered not that you run away from" But I say unto you all, yet not I but the Spirit of the Living God, that One major way God has ordained for His children to overcome lusts is to run away from anything that could cause it Which strength are you testing? A Christian is not asked to test strength but to obey God 1Samuel 15:22. In-fact, it is clearly stated in the word of God "By strength shall no man prevail -1Samuel 2:9" You are not to live by your strength but the strength that God gives in the Holy Ghost" Acts 1:8 Accept today, that you can do nothing without Jesus John 15:5. If it is of God, it must be by the strength of God and not of man. So, no need to test human strength to withstand any sin because it will always fail. Romans 8:7, 1Samuel 2:9 The real strength of every child of God is God Himself. Psalm 28:7, Psalm 27:1. It is the fallen nature of man to think he can do anything for God without God. If you give to God, it is the grace of God If you pray, it is the grace of God If you forgive, it is the grace of God If you resist sin successfully, it is the grace of God If you obey God, it is the grace of God whatever you do for God, it is the grace of God 1Chorintians15:10 Therefore ALL GLORY MUST BE TO GOD. Colosians 3:17, 1 Corinthians 10:31 It is written, "the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord..." -Psalm 37:23 Remember this popular song " I have no power of my own x2 Holy Spirit, I look up to you, help me, I have no power of my own"[/b] Christians Beware of false doctrine at this end time. God bless you all. 7 Likes |

2. EXPERIMENT: And before you rush to comment based on the outline I employ you read through this. Like I said in the first outline, faith is a practical thing. And most if not all Christians like that part where Jesus overcame the three temptations. Yea, it is such a source of encouragement but then, it has in it an untouched hint. Experimenting is a crucial tool in overcoming sexual lust as a youth. Now I am not saying you should go around having sex with every moving thing on the street rather, on the contrary, you should present always an opportunity to be tempted. Why? Because it gives an opportunity to gauge yourself, your spiritual level; to know your strength: whether to prepare more . And most importantly, Christ allowed it in other to know for certain he is spiritual enough to take up his mission. You can only have victory over what you have encountered not that you run away from. You got it wrong on ds point. Bible thought us to flee every appearances of evil, not the other way round. I guess u are trying to say in d Lord's prayer, will shd now pray: "lead us to temptations" |

Re: Overcoming Sexual Lust For Christian Youths by 4good(m): 3:47pm On Apr 10, 2016 |
@olusanya333 Paul said that and it hasn't work. Just sharing what is working. Perhaps you read again. How does it not work? Please explain. Let God be true and every man a liar. Are you now wiser than Jesus? Paul the Apostle? and I guess the word of God? Please be careful what you post in the name of Jesus Christ. If it is of God it will not be by your own method which will pass away and disappoint anytime. Any pastor that falls into the sin of immorality does so after they have neglected the word of God -Pslam 119:67. Quote this anywhere! Read my earlier response for the Biblical solution to Lusts. Humble yourself to practice the word of God and you will come back here with testimony James 1:21, Psalm 12:6. But, there can be no testimony if you carry out God's instruction half-way. GBU. |

4good: Quote a place I contradict Jesus Christ (from his own words please; not one Apostle paul) and stop wasting my precious time. Paul is a man like you and I and his words like you and I are not God's words but man's word as you and I. The words of God are but the Jewish writings (The Law , Prophets and Psalms) and the speech of Jesus and not the apostles, pastors or you or me. And o, thanks for the mention. |
Re: Overcoming Sexual Lust For Christian Youths by Rexceedo: 6:10pm On Apr 10, 2016 |
Op i disagree wt u @ no 2, "avoiding the occasion of sin", have actually stood the test of time. In the Bible King David conveted Uriah's wife cos he "experimented" (occasion of sin) & couldn't hide away from the shame of it's consequences! Anyman would actually fall when in a (closed circuit), & it takes alot of courage, & God's grace to avert this or unless dem castrate d guy from village! |
Re: Overcoming Sexual Lust For Christian Youths by VickyRotex(f): 7:02pm On Apr 10, 2016 |
Olusanya333: Like I said, you have a very nice post. But I'd suggest Abstinence, and not giving way for temptation, but when it comes, Avoidance. |
Re: Overcoming Sexual Lust For Christian Youths by micfoley: 11:19pm On Apr 10, 2016 |
The write up suggests that the primary reason for increased sexual lust in this generation is hormonal. I beg to disagree. I believe environmental conditioning is the main influence. Everywhere you look especially tv, magazines etc points to lust and hypersexuality. It's so bad now that even senior secondary school students are ashamed of being virgins and fall into temptation simply due to peer pressure The Bible says we must flee from fornication. The word flee here means run away from. The idea of experimenting as espoused in this article is therefore not advisable under any circumstance. The story of Joseph in the Bible comes to mind.. Here was Joseph whose great destiny had been foretold via various dreams. At the point his destiny was to be fulfilled, he was tempted by the beautiful wife of Potiphar. The Bible says he FLED, leaving his garment behind. No time for experimentation From there he went to prison and God lifted him up. Do you think God's will for him would have been done if he had fallen into that temptation? WHY do you think that temptation came just before God fulfilled his destiny? Look around you. Check those who God is manifestly blessing their lives to the fullest. Are these people involved in fornication? May one soul be blessed after reading this.......in Jesus name....... Amen |

How sad is it that religion causes man to be an enemy of his own body. Sex is natural. There is a REASON sex drive arises after puberty - it signals maturity and biological transition into potential mating and child-bearing. It is not possible to avoid "sexual lust" as a post-pubescent human being, if you think you can do it you are decieving yourself. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong about being attracted to another human being sexually, and insisting that that is so is among the highest forms of psychological abuse. Proper sex education for teens who have passed puberty is VITAL if you want to prevent psychological distress and easily avoidable STD's. In fact, all this talk forbidding sex and even sexual thoughts, only creates an INCREASED inclination towards it, and even an obsession with it - this is psychologically proven. It would be far more responsible to educate on the importance safe sex & the dangers of unsafe sex, the potential emotional outcomes & building emotional maturity, being selective when choosing a partner, and the importance of mutual consent. Many people, given correct sex education, still choose not to partake due to their own preference. The key is that they do not have an unhealthy obsession or guilt about the idea of sex. 2 Likes |

"Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart." 2 Tim 2:22. May I suggest to you that "experimenting" is not it! Flee!! That's God's prescription for dealing with youthful lusts!!! |
