What They Don't Want You To Know About The Of Demon Of Lust !

what does the bible say about overcoming lust lust a strong and uncontrolled desire or passion to have something especially pleasure at all costs beginning from the heart before graduating into an action when it comes to the issue of lust the problem of the heart is the heart of the problem anyone who will live above lust must learn to guard his or her heart if your heart is not purged then the battle against lust will be difficult to overcome proverbs 4 verse 23 says keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life keeping the heart from the attack of lust must be a deliberate action which must be carried out with all diligence [Music] let's look into the scriptures more closely and find out how lust begins what it results into and how we can arm ourselves against it lust among men and women is a giant problem in this world especially in these last days lust has eaten deep into the essence of humans to the extent that many people have lost to their minds and have become thoughtless as a result of it it is one of the evil spirits that is infecting people in this generation even more than any other time in history because now it is deemed as acceptable by the world and is openly praised unlike further back in history when i was a young pastor a young man who i used to pastor came to me in tears in complete and utter tears at the fact that he was having a child with a woman he did not even know her last name he explained to me the nature of their encounter and how it was just a one-night stand but the prospect of his life being linked to her life was frightening to him last lust lust nothing makes a person make silly decisions quite like lust nothing makes a person make life-altering life-changing decisions like lust i don't know what it is about lust but it has the ability to push people into making detrimental decisions i am not sure what it is about lust it is a temptation like no other it is a temptation unique to itself james 1 verse 13 to 15 says let no man say when he is tempted i am tempted of god for god cannot be tempted with evil neither tempteth he any man but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death apostle james explained that everyone who falls into temptation is first of all drawn away by his or her lust lust allures and entices people to sin it is not the devil that draws people to lust neither is it god the bible says but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust if you allow your heart to conceive lust it will birth sin at the end and the wages of sin is death lust begins from the heart before becoming an action most times we only judge people's actions without dealing with the root of such action if your heart is right your actions will be right too sinful lust begins with an evil desire when such desire is allowed to find a footing in your heart then you begin to journey on a downward slope until there is a fall people don't usually fall into sin at once they decline gradually in their hearts before the state of their hearts become visible through their sinful actions you see being tempted is not a sin itself yielding to temptation is what makes a person a sinner you are not a sinner because you are tempted you become a sinner when you eventually yield to temptation no one is free from temptation temptation is inevitable therefore everyone will be tempted first corinthians 10 verse 12 and 13 says wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man but god is faithful will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it [Music] every temptation people fall into is actually a temptation they can overcome god will not allow us to be tempted beyond our abilities it therefore means that we will all take responsibility against temptation if you fall into temptation you cannot blame it on anyone else what you do when temptation comes will determine whether you will overcome it or fall into it in matthew 4 verse 1 the bible says that jesus was led by the holy spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil being tempted is not the sin the sin begins when the evil desire drag us away from where our hearts need to be when an evil desire springs up in our hearts it does not have control over us we have the choice either to conceive it in our hearts or to reject it we can reject it as jesus did and refocus on the path god has set before us and we can also choose to entertain it matthew 4 verse 10 then saith jesus unto him get thee hence satan for it is written thou shalt worship the lord thy god and him only shalt thou serve [Music] the choice to accept or reject a temptation is always ours you may not be able to stop a bird from flying around but you can stop it from building its nest on your head you may not be able to stop temptation from coming around you but you can choose what to do when it comes it is always our responsibility to decide whether we will follow the dictates of our cravings or we will subject our flesh to serious discipline the reason many people become victims of lustful desires is that they are not disciplined so apostle paul said that no one should say that he or she is tempted by god because god does not tempt people it is the devil that tempts people and the essence of tempting them is to make them commit sin and fall short of god's grace jesus knew that lust begins from the heart fornicators and adulterers have problems with their hearts their actions just reflects what is in their hearts the cause of a matter is always greater than its effect if you fail to deal with the cause the effect will keep resurfacing in the old testament people were judged by the law once they are caught in the very act of adultery but jesus dealt with lust which is the cause of adultery in matthew 5 27 and 28 which reads ye have heard that it was said by them of old time thou shalt not commit adultery but i say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart however it is important to understand that jesus is not saying that the act of adultery and adultery in the heart are the same thing more than a few people have been deceived on this point and say i have already committed adultery in my heart so i may as well do it in practice the act of adultery is far worse than adultery in the heart jesus's point is not to say they are the same thing but to say they are both sin and both prohibited by the command against adultery some people only keep from adultery because they are afraid to get caught and in their heart they commit adultery every day it is good that they keep from the act of adultery but it is bad that their heart is filled with adultery ye have heard that it was said by them of old time thou shalt not commit adultery but i say unto you that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart so if the lust of the heart is dealt with the problem of fornication and adultery will be completely eradicated our heart condition matters people will never be free from immoral acts until their hearts are purged our actions are just a play out of what is going on in our hearts what the bible has to say about overcoming lust is that we must keep our hearts with all diligence avoid watching sights that will corrupt your heart avoid listening to contests that will pollute your mind we must wage war against anything that attempts to launch an attack against our heart your heart defines who you are whatever affects your heart will affect your life romans 12 verse 2 teaches us to always renew our minds so that we can be daily transformed this requires deliberate effort of studying the word of god fasting and praying consistently filling our hearts with godly contents and staying with the right people philippians 4 verse 8 reads finally brethren whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are just whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever things are of good rapport if there be any virtue and if there be any praise think on these things
