Why Is Lust So Fvcking Hard To Fight Off And Resist by TrollKiller(m): 9:08pm On Jan 16, 2020
I try to resist and think it goes away forever but It always comes back sometimes with stronger urge
I have decided to quit looking at lewd pics and live a godly life but damn this thing won't let Me be

Pray hard and control yourself . It would get off your mind in no time. I used to be in your shoes. If I haven't had a menage a trois in a week, I'd not be ok. At some point, I always felt like signing up with a porn company. The level of addiction was so high. A lady has never satisfied me at a time. To start with, I prayed to God, I'd go out without looking at a lady and if anyone comes my way by accident, I'd shift my attention away from her side. Gradually, it became a thing of the past and if I see women, they mean nothing to me....no matter how beautiful they look. It was a long fight but you can always win with God. Stop watching porn or any nude pics. Stop masturbation and once a lustful thought comes to you mind, pick your bible and read...just any verse. By the time you're done with 2 verses, the thought would vanish.

On the final note, avoid a bad company. Good luck.

You are trying to resist? Lol that is recipe for disaster, forget what the first commenter said, all that is flesh work.


Did any of the disciples try to stop or quit anything? NO. If Jesus died for you nd you still have to force yourself to stop what you like then he died in vain.

Trust in his power and just love him. Love conquers and covers a multitude of sins. Always daily pray for his help, because it is not by MIGHT or POWER rather it is simply by grace.

Trying to stop something like lust is actually the way to increase it.

It is only through death on the Cross that the *flesh* was destroyed and the new flesh(resurrection being of Jesus Christ Crucified) replaces what was dead on Calvary
Thus
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: *now shall the prince of this world be cast out*. 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

The *evacuation of the flesh is possible only through death on the Cross inside the Crucified Jesus Christ*, it is not *suppression of desires for a while or trying to fight it as you mentioned*

Tell Jesus that you are tired of trying to deliver yourself from the *flesh* by yourself and you are ready to *surrender 100% of your being(spirit, soul and body)* to his grace so that He will lift you and crucify you *once and forever inside his Crucified being* and you continually submit to his grace every tick of time on this earth as *a dead being inside his Crucified body* while His *resurrection life* replaces your dead flesh, manifests in your whole being and also become imparted upon every human being you encounter from now till eternity.

If you mean what you say and say what you mean; you will begin to see the overwhelming power of the Holy Spirit and grace fill your whole being in sincere desire to communicate with God every passing second, studying God's word/gospel-messages/gospel-books-songs to discover more about the new life; Jesus Christ Crucified now living in your mortal-body, sincere committment to tell everybody about Jesus as the Christ/Messiah of their lives(personal and general evangelism), sincere committment to group bible studies of your fellowship/church e.t.c

You will walk every tick of time on this earth *without any sin* because it God fully at work in you now both to will and do his good pleasures (Phil.2:13)

However you are 100%-human and 100%-Christ;
Being Human means you have *free-will* which can choose to sin or not sin but not like when a person is still under the *flesh* inherited from Adam in which state you must sin whether you like it or not because the motions of the flesh was *your master/controller* then (Romans 7:5 For when *we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.* 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.)

But if you allow the *Grace* of Christ life to reign by *agreeing to be dead on the Cross with Him every tick of time in this earth in your heart/mind/body* then His resurrection life will continue to manifest resistance to sin/flesh, holiness, righteousness and self-control in you, through you and around you from one degree of glory to a higher degree of glory until eternity.

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and *He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;*

1 Corinthians 1:8 Who shall also *confirm/uphold you unto the end*, that ye may be *blameless(without sin/fault) in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ*. 1:9 *God is faithful(He will uphold you without sin/fault as He promised unto the end)*, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Corinthians 4:10 *Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus*, that the *life* also "of Jesus might be made manifest in our body*. 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 4:12 So then *death worketh in us, but life in you.*

Jude 1:24 Now unto him *that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy*, 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

I am a living testimony of Jesus Christ Crucified complete deliverance/victory over sin/flesh!!!

Therefore *He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him*, since *He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them*. (Hebrews 7:25 amp)

Great Grace Brethren!!!

You will never win by struggling but you will surely win by the Life of Christ manifested in you. To have His life manifested in you, begin by mechanically denying your freshly lusts (both towards women, by ceasing to look at obscenity and also all other known fleshy tendencies). Of course, in the case of lust towards women, your attempts will be met with many failures(as it has already built a stronghold in your life) before His life is manifested in you but don't let that deter you, you are in process of activating His life, in which is your victory, only if you persevere in spite of a billion failed attempts. When your attempts have reached the mark, you will see a miraculous event occur. It is the Christ in you manifesting His life, at that point you will not experience a struggle again with it, but will see His Spirit literally carrying you by His own ability, hence complete victory over that lust. I await your testimony.
