What to do after lusting? We seem to be discussing a lot of lust but I'm not seeing any meaningful advice or suggestions on what should be done after Christian or church going lusters have lusted. I might not be aware of any, I mean.

Few things:

- No old testament radically dramatic fixes specifically picked for shock value. Thanks as you comply.

-Fornication and adultery should not be considered an option

-Share how you overcame your lust if applicable or if you want to.

-Hope the lust didnt chase you from Christianity or Christian morals?

You can't overcome lust when you free-mix with ladies puting on sexy apparels! No amount of "heart-conditioning'' can save you.

In this era of slay queens....we now have slay queens for Christ!

Even if Jesus were to enter some churches nowadays,he will close his eyes...

All na lie Sha...

Please for GOD sake, be mindful of the words you use, Lord Jesus Christ is not Canal like me and you.

He is not canal but he spent months in Mary's womb!

He is not carnal but he passed through the birth canal of Mary!

He is not carnal that he suck Mary's breast milk!

He's not carnal that he cursed the fig tree just because he was hungry and it had no fruit!

Do you need more?

That was before his crucifixion.

Which encounter did you have with God? Lies from the pit of hell. Truly, People are deluded in Christianity.

You self don be like Moses, Jacob, Abraham who saw God face to face in the Bible?

Every Tomiwa, Dike and Haruna now has encounter with God. God get plenty time?

the evidence of rebellion is the evidence of a God

Stop the lies. You encountered normal things.

.

Reasons why Nigerian Christians experience lust:


-greed

- indiscipline

-carelessness

-loneliness

-work of the devil, ie carelessness

-unchristian attitude

-mental illness





I specified Christians here because of the belief they should not experience lust even though it's very commonplace among them .

So you mean Jesus did all that because of his canal mind.

You guys dont usually think deep.

Jesus did a lot of things to prove a point and also show he came in Human form.

Why not mention that his canality made him overcome temptation after the 40 days fasting.

Shallow thinking ****

It is a holy birth, from a holy womb (Ark of the Covenant), without the stain of sin, even in human form. Hosanna!

Everything I mentioned and yours can be done by humans!

If you want to tell me he is God, why was he afraid to die begging his father to carry cup comot so tey the holy spirit (his God brother) came to strengthen him? Doesn't he have a power of his own? Do God need power to die?

What to do after lusting, is to engage a fight-or-flight response. Prepare and get the body ready to fight or flee, lol.

What did Joseph do when he found himself caught in the thick of a compromising position/situation? He tore himself away from the clutches of Potiphar's tempting, attractive, sexually arousing and exciting wife, left his garment in her hand, fled, escaped and ran outside.

What did king David do when he found himself looking down at a compromising position/situation?. He stood his ground, waited there enjoying himself taking pleasure in greatly getting a kick out of watching Bathsheba cleansing herself (i.e. doing the purification from her monthly period). There are a lot of lessons to learn from king David's. Like, the devil finds work for idle hands, like idle hands are tools in the devil's workshop, like dont wait and be eyes opened staring waiting for the insect to fly in, lol. Like, flee, run for dear life, that much your feet arent touching the ground. Like, man up, culvitivate some strong backbone, self-control, self-restraint, self-discipline, will power, the ability to control your feelings and overcome whatever the weaknesses maybe (i.e. maybe lusting after women, over indulgence alcohol, abusive gambling etcetera)

The other most important thing is having a paradigm shift. This is something I and Finallydead were going to talk about and explain the dynamics of it to WinningEleven. Paradigm shift, is change that happens when the usual way of thinking about something, somebody and/or anything, or the usual way of seeing something, somebody and/or anything, or even the usual way of doing something, is replaced by a new and different way, and all that down to having a better understanding, having a proper awareness of facts etcetera.

Self-restraint is a learned and/or acquired skill. Overcoming lust comes with training of the mind. Like get to the point, of giving a cat a bowl of milk to guard and nothing happens to the milk getting being slurped up by the cat, lol

Please ignore the fearless cat in the above picture, that's a red herring, the real objects of interest in the above picture, are the self-disciplined Alsatian German Shepherd dogs, staying in their stations and not going chasing after the bold and without a care in the world taking a stroll in a beautiful bright sunning vitamin D day cat. That is the beauty of self-discipline, captured in "a picture is worth a thousand words" taken shot.

Some cats can be left to guard a fish without eating it and some can be given a bowl of milk to guard without licking it.
Now, if one is not fortified, if one is not grounded in the word of God, if one is not standing on the word of God, if one loses focus on God, if one hasnt the regard for God in him, like Joseph had (i.e. Genesis 39:9) and if one is not self disciplined, then one is giving the devil a freehand and easy access to try and exploit weakness or dent(s) in ones armour.

One has it or one doesnt has it. You see, one needs to grow and build up self restraint. King David lacked enough self-restraint, this is why upon seeing a "näked" and alluring Bathsheba, he was unable to restrain himself unable to hold it back together, unable to look the other way, unable to vacate immediately that vantage high point he was at watching Bathsheba from.

The test of a man, just like in the garden of Eden is to have something too attractive and tempting before him/her, to see how or how not he/her will do when no one is watching. Will he/her resist. lol. There are too many weak males about who call themselves men, they are nothing than fake and weak arse men, lol

You're too kind, but then lust, really and truly has its place and time. We are to lust correctly and rightfully, which means lust, funnily enough and in a very strange or unusual manner, can be a good thing, so long it is not abused, misused and/or disused, lol. We all know that we are to lust after those things that God wants us to lust after. David was a man after God's own heart, yet he lusted the wrong way, well, we thank God, that the bible is rife with what is the sin of lust and how to fight or overcome it.

Let me teach you like a Kid since you keep coming back.

A Man consists of the Spirit, Soul and Body.

The Body is the canal part that wants Pleasure and is Lazy...wants to eat when hungry. Feels pain when going through a bad situation.

The soul is the emotional part .. Feels anger, agony, Love.

The spirit is the will and keeps us alive and connected to the world beyond.

Jesus is God in Human Flesh.

Definitely to represent that he went through all that an ordinary Man can go through which includes Hunger and Pain.

Remember God made Man in his image.

Your spirit is 100% you
Your soul is 100% you
Your body is 100% you

So Jesus in Human Flesh means that he came to feel our pain thereby being able to be substituted for the pain we should have gone through.

If you want to reply, think first so i can reply you also so that we dont turn it to an aimless argument

I told you to think.

I explained to you that he was in Flesh.

He wasn't afraid of Death cos if He was he wouldn't surrender himself to the killers.

The Flesh feels pain.

His soul was in agony(emotion) thinking about the painful experience He was about going through.

God made man in our image? So considering the way we are how does God look like?

Still waiting patiently for this. Could tell you would bring a beneficial perspective from your questions.

Self-restraint is a learned and/or acquired skill. Overcoming lust comes with training of the mind. Like get to the point, of giving a cat a bowl of milk to guard and nothing happens to the milk getting being slurped up by the cat, lol

Very true, sir. Hope winningeleven is seing this. Men must be taught the mind's capacity for programming and reprogramming by repetitive habits over time. If we begin to habitually and persitently turn off the lustful look every time an opportunity is presented, disregarding failed attempts, we would eventually reprogramme the mind how to respond to opportunities.

Now, if one is not fortified, if one is not grounded in the word of God, if one is not standing on the word of God, if one loses focus on God, if one hasnt the regard for God in him, like Joseph had (i.e. Genesis 39:9) and if one is not self disciplined, then one is giving the devil a freehand and easy access to try and exploit weakness or dent(s) in ones armour.

Exactly. Failure in this begins with a heart disconnected from God. A living, bubbling relationship with God really is a most important protection. Once this is in place, other steps become easy to implement. Without this the demon of lust becomes so powerful.
Again one has to know exactly why he should desist from lust. A wrong 'why' would complicate issues. A good why is you can't cheat laws of existence. Lust with all its costs will surely Rob you of maximizing your potentials. It will progressively impede and kill your potentials. All that energy directed towards your life goals will surely make you a greater achiever in life whether spiritually or physically.
I should come back later when am free to add to this.

"And Jesus answering, said, "You do not know what you ask for.
Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink?""
- Matthew 20:22a

""Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'?
No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour."
- John 12:27

"Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword back in its place!
Do you think that I will not drink the cup of suffering which my Father has given me?""
- John 18:11

Thanks but no thanks for sign-posting me to this link and the original post there, but you werent expecting me to "second guess" what your point is, do you? Besides I dont see, any proof of God, ever saying God was afraid of His plan to die? Also, you in a way, that fits well with your "agenda" decided to not quote Matthew 26:38 right on to Matthew 26:39, to show where Jesus said "But let Your will be done rather than Mine". Or how about Luke 22:42's "Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine." This is not a talk of someone afraid of God's plan, but is the human dimension of Jesus saying something to the effect of: "is having to go through all this looming suffering, really necessary, but hey dont mind Me, let Your plan and will be done God"

You dont all appreciate and/or understand the gravity and extent of the suffering Jesus went through at the hands of deliberately cruel, grudge-bearing, vindinctice baying for blood people. Jesus had His beard plucked from His face as He was lead to His death at calvary. Jesus was so much and that much beaten, the bible said, to the extent He was unrecognisable. The bible said because of the immense torture Jesus was subjected to, people recoiled from looking at Him, because of the shock of seeing the awful, horrific and appalling state of Him.

Jesus was not and never afraid of God's plan for man's redemption and salvation, rather He was concerned of the "bestial" cruelty of man. No creature could ever be so cruel as man, who can be so artfully and so artistically cruel. Man didnt disappoint, they showed their worst on that day on the way to Calvary and at hill of Calvary.

Matthew 20:22a, John 12:27, John 18:11 and other verses doesnt show Jesus saying He is afraid of God plan. Doesnt show Jesus of being afraid to die. Rather they all show, someone being admirably brave and determined to see God's plan come into fruition.
