How Do You Do It?: Keep Your Eyes And Thoughts Pure!
« on: May 27, 2008, 06:50 PM »

Hey peeps,

I'm born again, tounge speaking, devoted to God, also HUMAN, testosterone filled young man, and yeah a VIRGIN, (its not been easy by the way),

I try everyday to keep my mind pure, I have eyes, I see some beautiful creations of God, well sculpted, y'all know what I mean.  My mind wanders sometimes, a lot of times I allow it to, its fun; but we all know what the bible says,

I made a decision not to commit sexual sin, and that is what I live my life by, here's what makes it harder, lots of girls make passes at me, I know I have the looks (not trying to be vain, but if you see me you'D agree), the profile, nice dressing, great job, the whole works

But really, want you guys to share your experiences, how you keep your mind pure,  what you do when it wanders, when you see graphic stuff (on the roads, t.v etc)

Like people say, "how do you manage congi", lol

Please share your thoughts.

Thanx guys

my guy, i feel you o jare. Once you make that decision to follow Chirst to the end, you need to pray fro grace! Thats wot I do at least. Once you touch the plough, you can't look back.

Grace is the answer, God's grace!

Perhaps getting a well-sculpted wife will help Undecided

Cheesy  Cheesy wreaked havoc wit my prayer life 4 weeks because evry time i got down 2 pray, it came up n off my mind would go!! u get the picture.

1. First, read and listen to God's words
2. Avoid watching porns or any flithy movie that may corrupt your soul. Note: Those Genevie/Nollywood films are no exception
3. Avoid extensive day dreams on any girl.
4. Don't become friends with corrupted minds
5. Get married soon

You see, we're in the same shoes. Wink
When I was younger, that hormone thing would have ripped me off my chastity. I heard friends among the opposite sex but I tried not to get too close. But since I started listening to God's word- the Ko'ran and watching Great Religious lectures, my life changed tremendously. For example, All'ah my God constantly promises that those who sleep with people who they're not married to, that theirs will be the fire of burning. And promises those who guard their chastity, pure mates. Grin Grin Grin. The prophet says they(pure mates- virgins) will be many for just one righteous soul.

Luckily,am not in Nigeria because naija babes are dangerous. In Egypt, don't make the mistake of sleeping with someone you're not married to. You will go to jail!!! Smiley

Lesson: I think Nigeria see nothing wrong in sex before marriage.Please don't be fooled, Satan has made that evil act fair seeming to most of them. Don't sleep with a girl even if you plan to marry! If you wish to, marry now.

 Don't sleep with a girl even if you plan to marry! If you wish to, marry now.

I would re-word point 2: Do not watch/use porn.

I think you should be able to appreciate beauty (like the beauty we see in our every day lives, including beautiful people) provided we have the right attitude and we are trying our best not to be lustful.

As for point number 5, and the end of the quote, do you really think its a good idea to encourage people to use their desire to have sex with someone (no matter whether they think they're in love or whatever) to get married soon? Surely we all know we're not supposed to get married in order to make sex 'ok'. It's perfectly natural for a man to want to have sex with women. Any (young/youngish etc) man who says he doesn't think about sex with beautiful women is either homosexual, or has been castrated or is lying.

My point, however, is be very careful what you advise people to do. And sexual desire is natural, and not a cause to marry someone.

Simple by filling your mind with the Word of God, the word of God actually cleans you up gradually the more you mediate on it  JOHN 15-3 says
Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you

Let these scripture guide you

PROVERBS 4-20-22
My son, attend to my Words; incline thine ear unto my saying 
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart
For they are Life Unto Those That Find Them, And Health To All Their Flesh

ROMANS 12:2
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God

1 PETER 2-2
As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby

2 CORINTHIANS 10 -4
Casting down imagination and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity Every Thought to the obedience of Christ

PHILIPPIANS 4-8
Finally, my brethren, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
