OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUSTS, PART 2

Working Scripture: Genesis 3:6
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

As we highlighted for part 1, we are going to from the underlined in our working scripture, again, the processes or stages that Eve went through with the forbidden fruit:

1. She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. (pleasant to the eye).
2. Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).
3. In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.
4. She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)
5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

For part 1, we dealt with the first stage of lust by drawing reference from the first action of Eve concerning the forbidden fruit but now we want to go to the second stage by drawing reference to the second action of Eve.

SECOND STAGE OF LUST (THE DESIRE STAGE)
Lust at this stage can be given by the acronym below

L -LONGING for
U -UNGODLY
S -SEXUAL
T -TOUCH/TASTE/TEST/TRIAL

The first stage of lust directly leads to the second stage of lust. In this second stage, your heart plays back whatever images of sexual targets your eyes have captured and desires to see them again or even have a feel or touch of those images.

The major agent at work here is the heart. The heart works like a storage device of a computer which can give you back whatever information you have stored in it. At this stage, the heart plays back for you all the pornographic images and sexual targets your eyes have captured and goes a step further by processing them for you. The heart can make you imagine how it will be if you have a real touch or a real taste or a real test or a feel of those sexual targets your eyes have captured. The desire or passion at this stage can be so intense and disturbing even after the images are out of sight of that youth because of the ability of your heart to act involuntarily on the signal.

Because of this sensitive nature of the heart, the scripture charges us to be cautious our hearts.

Proverb 4: 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Let it be stressed that lustful signals can also be fed into the heart through other agents like the ears and the mouth if you keep hearing sensuous songs and saying sensuous words. Many songs that the youths of today listen to are erotica in content. When you store such into your heart, your heart can play them back for you at will and then fill you with desire to actualize the content. Even many dance steps are erotica and youths expose themselves to such dance steps.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, calls this stage of the lust, ‘adultery of the heart’ and it is a sin just as the lust of the eyes is a sin.

Mathew 5:28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Can we also see in this scripture that lust of eyes leads to lustful sexual desire in the heart.

Pro 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Proverb 6:25 emphasizes beauty and eyelids as some of the targets a man can lust after in his heart. Man should wonder less why many women today spend so much on artificial ‘beauty’, eyelashes and attires of harlot– just to seduce or get men to lust after them. You are counseled not to be victims of these.

If you found out your heart is always desiring to have a touch/taste/test of any sexual object you are exposed to, please, quickly deal with it or seek help. It might be lust of the heart.

The short video below shows a young man that is going through a serious ‘Longing for Ungodly Sexual Taste (or perhaps Touch or Test) in his heart – Lust of the heart (adultery of the heart).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShE4rRYeG5c

This was how Eve desired to taste the forbidden fruit. For Eve, lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.

L -LONGING for
U -UNGODLY
S -SINFUL
T -TOUCH

They desired to have a sinful touch and sinful taste of the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve had been warned neither to touch nor eat the forbidden fruit.

Adam and Eve had been warned neither to touch nor eat the forbidden fruit.

Gen 3: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

The instruction not to touch the fruit was perhaps to cast a stumbling block towards the eating of the fruit. After all, they could not eat the fruit if they did not touch. We can see that God did not really want them to eat. But here, we see Eve already desiring to touch and eat what her eyes had seen and was pleasant to them.

PRAYERS

1. Lord, Jesus Christ, heal me of all adultery of heart.

2. Lord, Jesus Christ, stretch out your hand into my heart and delete all lustful images that have been stored there.

3. Lord, help me to always stand by you at every stage of my decision making.

4. Fill my heart with your love.

5. Send the fire of the Holy Ghost into my heart and refine it.

Watch out for Part 3 of this teaching. It will be posted here very soon.

This issue of lust na big wahala, na only God fit save person

when you dedicate yourself to his word!!! He will give you power beyond the ordinary to overcome!! The only problem is most people are very comfortable lusting and enjoy it, afterall they say everyone is doing it forgetting that if the end comes today or they die now, God will judge them personally, so its a choice thing. Adam and eve had such choice and so do we!!! But remember the consequence!!

Ginaz:
That is why God said you should marry instead when overcome with lust. But actually, the world is at its end, lust is the centre of the world.

Man is sinful by nature cos of sin, it takes more than the Holy Spirit to tame it. We pray for God's wisdom and grace to overcome.

yeah true.....but getting married does not totally deal with sexual lust......which is why people still commit adultery.

AfroSamurai:
It's trash as Hell! The OP is as myopic as the average nigerian who has been baptised with all manner of religious sentimentalism coupled with all manner of nepotistic and narrow-minded view, which they use to view whatever, from their narrow minded perspective.

The OP in his haste to shame sexual lust, forgot that the youths of today crave something more than sexual lust, which is of course, money.

Let's face it bro, all the ashana, olosho, and ayamgba we see out there are chasing what, lust or money?

Even our politicians, who are old, what do they chase, lust or money? Ask yourself how Dasuki, FFK, Dokpesi and the likes carted billions of dollar away.

Even our pastors of today, what do they chase, lust or money? You see them say one can only enter Heaven when one pay his tithe and sow seeds. How many times do you even hear them (pastors) preach about lust? All they preach is money, money and money etc.

So, the OP is just showcasing his narrow mindedness. He doesn't know anything.

Young peeps today chase and lust after money more than anything else, because money brings every other thing. Nothing more, nothing less.

Fin.

You made a point. But u re really biased. U claim they never preach about lust. But money all the time. . Its unfortunate u make such claim even wen the op is clearly teaching about lust...

Dudeweedlmao:


you upload a picture like that
you still enter into a thread like this where guys are trying to get rid of the spirit of lust
you still comment very early so every guy can see your username
you still have that enticing pink F beside your name
you still named yourself with a state that is known for one thing, and one thing only.

Which word are you talking about? Because if. You talking about what the op posted there's nothing to listen to in it.


Its crystal clear its 100% garbage.

Omojolaray:
Read to understand.... You can lust on anything.... Also the lust over money is to spend it on other Lust .... Seek wisdom through the scripture

And you should follow your own advice. "The lust over money is to spend it on other lust", then tell me which lust is more important, then?

You should seek wisdom via your brain, you know.

OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUSTS, PART 1

Dear Youths and all those who are entangled in the evil web of sexual lusts,
please follow up with this thread, we are presenting a series of in-depth biblical and practical teachings on Youthful Sexual lust to help the youths overcome sexual lusts in their preparation for Christ's return. Please, read with open heart and prayerfully.

Working Scripture: Genesis 3:6
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

INTRODUCTION
One day, I asked the youths if they knew the meaning of ‘lust’. Everybody answered with a ‘yes’. Then I asked whoever that had lusted after anyone to raise up his or her hand. Only a few raised their hands. I, also, raised my hand. The others that did not raise their hands were laughing at us who raised our hands. I asked them why they didn’t raise their hands but they could not answer but kept on laughing. I concluded they either did not know the meaning of lust or were just pretending.

Let’s face it. Almost everyone who is old enough to understand the meaning of ‘lust’ has lusted after one person or the other, at least once. This teaching will help you to understand the meaning of lust both biblical and practically, determine if you are in lust and what to do to overcome it.


WHAT IS LUST?
Lust can simply be defined as desiring, craving, longing to have or doing what is ungodly in preference to that which comes from God. Anybody can lust after anything. There could be lust after food like children of Israel did in the wilderness, lust after music, lust after clothe or lust after anything once it is ungodly. But since we are dealing with youthful sexual lust, I will paraphrase lust to be desiring, craving, longing to have or doing an ungodly sexual act especially by the Youths.


[u[FIVE STAGES OF LUSTS[/u]
I was made to understand that the fall of Adam by Satan through Eve was due to Eve’s undergoing the complete stages of Lust after the forbidden fruit. Let us look at our working scripture.

From the underlined in our working scripture, we can see the processes or stages that Eve went through:

1. She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. {pleasant to the eye).
2. Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).
3. In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.
4. She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)
5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

These five stages that Lot went through led sequentially one to another. Each stage is lust on its own and is sinful. Let us look at these five stages in practical ways at they affect youths.


FIRST STAGE OF LUST (THE CONTACT STAGE)
Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.
L -LOOKING
U -UNCONTROLABLY at
S -SEXUAL
T -TARGETS

This is the stage where a youth gets in contact with his/her sexual target. The primary agent here is the eyes. The eyes of a youth come in contact with his/her sexual targets and lose control. The target may be a chorister singing worship, the pointed nose of a female/male, the eyelid of a female, the moustache of a male, the uncovered straight legs of a female/male, the muscular frame of a man or any sensuous part of a female/male. Some youths even lusts after unclad mannequins in boutiques. Other lustful sexual targets include pornographic images and videos on magazines, Facebook, Whatzapp, Nairaland, YouTube and so on. Once, I saw a video on the internet of a man that saw a statue of an unclothe female. He was so much lost in lust that he went to hug the statue and began to caress it. Lust can be so burning. Burn it before it burns you.

Once, you are lost in control of looking at any ‘sensuous’ part of an opposite sex, and the image feel pleasant to your sight, then you are engrossed in what the scripture calls ‘the lust of the eyes’.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The lust of the eyes is a sin and not of God. This was the first thing that happened to Eve in the garden. She started looking uncontrollably at the forbidden fruit and it was pleasant to her eyes. For Eve, Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.

L -LOOKING
U -UNCONTROLABLY at
S -SINFUL
T -TARGET

In this case, the sinful target that Eve could not take her eyes away from was the forbidden fruit.

The first stage of lust which we refer to as the contact stage if not dealt with quickly will lead a man/woman to the second stage which has to do with the heart. This we shall look at in the second part of this teaching.


PRAYERS
1. Lord, Jesus Christ, set the fire of Holy Ghost in my eyes and burn off all the spirit of lust working inside them.

2. Cast out the lust out of my eyes by the finger of God.

3. Do not allow me to fall to lust like Adam and Eve

4. Destroy every trap of seduction on my way by the fire of God.

5. My eyes will not send me to hell fire in Jesus’ name.

BuddhaPalm:


"Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good" ----- Genesis 1:31

Sexual desire, or its expression, can't be sin.

Sexual desire on its own is not a sin. It becomes ungodly and a sin when that desire is towards a person who is not your wife. For instance, If you are married and shows sexual desire towards another woman that is not your wife, that is lust of the heart and it is a sin OR you are not married and shows a sexual desire towards a person, it is also lust and is a sin as well. that is what we are trying to address.

Society evolved to maintain order.

Embedding rules for monogamy and sexual exclusivity in religion is society's way of reducing strife.

God filled our loins with fire and told us to go into the world and multiply.

Marriage is man-made.

I desire a luscious sexually responsive woman in my bed right now.

But I did not choose this desire.

It was thrust upon me.

And you want to tell me that I am a sinner because of a compulsion God himself placed in me?

I lust because I was destined to lust.

jericco1:
what if you lust at a potential target, and at the end, you don't taste the fruit..

It is still lust. You are just only at the first stage of Lust. Tasting the fruit is the real action stage of lust. It is the fourth stage. If you did not check lust at the first stage and allow it to persist, It will gradually become so strong and you will take a step further. you may gradually end up in fornication/adultery or masturbation.

that contradicts the initial post
lust comes in stages and until it reaches its final stage it shouldn't be considered to be lust
