I literally just finished crying. Lust has been my number one problem with an endless cycle of doing the same things over and over. You lust, you feel bad afterwards, and then one day you lust again. This spirit is no joke and I would be a hypocrite if I told you that you should talk to someone else about because I am too ashamed to talk to anyone about it. But what I could say is fasting, reading, and praying continuously is the key. Discipline is to important in stopping this addiction. Always position yourself in the best possible situation. For example, don't walk into the bathroom with your phone or any device or for some they don't sleep with their phone even in the same room. But most importantly remember that God is on your side. "He loves you just the way you are, but he loves you too much for you to stay that way." I don't know who may be encouraged by this. I may just be typing to myself mostly. But just know that God loves you and he will never abandon you and he wants you to leave lust and join him eternally.😃😃😃

Also it's clinically proven that we benefit from daily masturbation meaning we benefit from sexual urges further proving that we're supposed to, by God's design, embrace our sexual nature. So even if someone is dressing to be enticing and turn heads, that's completely natural.*

@@starhunter9085 Well I need you to look up the actual meaning of lust. Lust is way broader than wanting to rape or abuse someone. Its simply the desire to have sex with them. Lust have not always been in human nature, its one of the curses that is instilled in people after the disobedience of Adam and Eve. Nothing was wrong with everyone being naked at first,but sin has been planted into us to think and do the wrong things. For example Adam and Eve was walking around the Garden of Eden naked but nothing was wrong with that because they was pure until they decide to eat the apple of good and evil which was an act of disobedience against God. Now everyone has sin and that's where lust comes from. Hate is also human nature but hate is not good. Same thing with lust, its human nature but doesn't mean its good. It also does not mean God is evil it means we are in the consequence of disobedience.

Lust from porn definitely ruined a lot of my relationship. I have demons knowing that I've lied to my partner to get a quick rush on my own. I too was introduced to porn at a very young age of 6. I struggled for years forward not understanding the complexity of damage being done to my brain. I hate thinking of other women in lustful ways and I know how wrong it is to myself and my partner. I developed this bad habit as I aged but as I continue to age; I want to deconstruct this habit and cut it out for good. It has been several months and I haven't done it. The urges got weaker and sometimes come by strong. However I am stronger with God having my back. Stay blessed 🙌

One thing that I found helpful was to not surround yourself with things that are going to tempt you, because eventually you will relapse, and that relapse feels absolutely terrible. These things could be certain people, or they could just be things that you are watching or reading. Either way, cut them out of your life if they are tempting you because they are of the devil. Make sure you have an actual relationship with God and by doing so you’ll try that much harder to make him happy and to not disappoint him. Good luck on your walk with Christ, you got this! Through Christ, all things are possible so stay strong!

Lust has probably been my biggest struggle in life. I was introduced to sexuality way too early. Too early for any kid really. And I struggled with masturbation from about 5 years old. I'd later be introduced to pornography and it all culminated into the worst possible outcome. Everything upto vivid wet dreams. It became scarier and scarier the older I got. BUT! Jesus saved me. He healed me! It's absolutely crucial for me to sacrifice my flesh at the altar of God's heart every single day. I have to die everyday so that The Holy Spirit lives in me throughout my day. I rebuke negative/lustful thoughts as they come. The Holy Spirit exposes them, I repent and cover myself with the Blood of Jesus. It's not easy, but with Christ it is possible. He holds my hand through it all❤️ I've realized that the first step with any sin is always admission. You have to acknowledge and accept that you have a problem. God cannot heal what we do not reveal. Admission and confession are the path to deliverance 🙏🏾

And obedience is the way forward to serve God in freedom from bondage to sin (Romans 6:16-18). John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments. The word of God is a powerful weapon against the devil's schemes, but we must hear and obey: Luke 6:46-49 46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? 47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built. 49 But he who hears, and does not do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

God has given you natural sexual desires and there is nothing wrong with them, but heart purity and self-control in your thoughts and actions are a must (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). God calls us to love from a pure heart (see 1 Timothy 1:5, James 4:8, Isaiah 1:16-20). That will eliminate lust that makes you look at another person as a sex object. And that is possible with Jesus, but we need to not only believe it but also agree 100% with him to go in that direction. What God's grace promises to his servants who live for Him is "life and peace" (Romans 8:6), not a losing battle with natural urges and impure thoughts that result in sin certainly. You are in a battle for your soul (we all are) and it has to be won in your mind. Ask God to help you stay focused on right thoughts and don't get distracted. You need to keep your mind on living in a way that pleases God in every way, from your thoughts to your actions. If you realize that you are trapped in sin and need to be delivered, knowing what you need to do goes together with prayers for your deliverance, because you must follow God's instructions to you in your situation. You must be willing to see what it feels like to say "No" to a desire of your flesh when you are being tempted, and see how the temptation goes away (James 1:12-15, 1 Corinthians 10:13). God's grace will help you to do that (Titus 2:11-14) and He will be with you in all those moments if your focus is on loving and pleasing Him above all and you trust that He will deliver you. Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (Romans 3:25), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin/addictions and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). You need to approach God the way He expects you to-with the right mindset. James 1:21-22 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness [that's repentance],✷ receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word [that's faith, which implies obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. ✷Repentance means you turn from disobedience to God to obedience to God, then you continue on a path of faithful obedience to God, which is what faith is about-not sinning/deliberately disobeying God (the opposite). James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

I had to get rid of all social media because it's way to easy to fall back into lust. I got rid of my tv, I severely limit my phone time per week, but my downfall are my days off when nobody wants to hang out and I'm lonely at my house. It seems as if lust really plans his shot when I am most vunerable. I get very discouraged sometimes but God makes it possible for all of us to overcome, his word says so. I encourage you my brother! We will overcome one day.... We will stand on high ground one day

I struggle with lust...and I lift 2 - 3 times a week. That analogy really makes sense to me. Thank you for your message

Build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of his word, and put your skills in the service of others and you will have a great life.

One point of clarification, while he DID the right thing in his story which was FLEEING from TEMPTATION, it needs to be stated more clearly that we should RESIST the DEVIL (James 4:7) and FLEE from TEMPTATION (not hang around it long enough to even have to resist it). If you try to resist temptation (e.g. if he had decided to hang around where the naked woman was) eventually you will give into it (I Corinthians 6:8).

Sorry my clarification wasn't so clarifying lol WHAT you should FLEE from and WHAT you should RESIST are two different things which is what I think in his conclusion from 5:26 on he either has wrong or just wasn't clear enough. To me it sounded like he was suggesting to resist temptation, but maybe by resist he meant flee? But resist and flee are two totally different actions.

*Lust isn't about the physical aspect, it's about the psychological. Lust is a form of abuse and like all forms of abuse the psychological element is what drives the whole issue. As a survivor of childhood, domestic abuse, I know this almost better than anyone. The reason why people have this false sense of what lust is is because they don't understand that part, we see a mere fraction of what happened during these cases (the sexual assualt) and believe that's all there is to it. Because of this, we assume the victim was responsible for "enticing" the perpetrator, this is ignorance. What we don't see is the priming and grooming and intimidation and breaking down of the victim's psychology in order to make this happen. That part of it is more "fun" for the villain than the actual assualt and that's why all acts of lust (pee...dough...feel ya, raype, incest, prostitution, po...rn, molestation, neck...row...feel ya, zoo-feel ya, home...O...sexuality) are deemed men-tall disorders. Do your research and you'll find that the majority of sexual predators have severe men-tall disorders and PTSD. This is what I wish more people understood.*

I realised that when I get lustful thoughts it's not my body's natural biological working but the devil feeding me ideas trying to get me to fall, and if I encourage those thoughts I most certainly will fall,but if I call on God in that hour of need he will show up and save me.

No matter how hard or how many times you fall, dont tear away your eyes from Jesus. Come back to Him inmediatly, dont think that just because you fell you have to wait until you "feel worthy again" to go to him. Thats a lie. Run to Him, even in your brokenness. And be sincere to Him, even with your flesh desires, you can do it man. God is with you.

Thank you so much for posting this..it really helped with what I’m going through right now💜

Thank you for making this; it's great and very helpful in a world where we don't talk about these issues enough.

I've been struggling with sexual sin in all forms since 5th grade. But knew I would have a problem with it since about 4 years old. Its like I was always "interested" in that stuff without knowing. Once i found pornography ive watched it twice a day, every day, for the last 10 years. I've been in bad relationships where sex was the foundation and abuse was the outcome. Lust to me is more then just kryptonite, I can resist it in person, change conversations when lust is the topic but when I'm alone if I see one small thing it sets me off and I have to climb back that mountain again. I'm 19 now, about to be 20. I've found a wonderful woman who I hope that one day I can settle down with, a godly woman who does nothing but encourage me to keep going and to keep getting better. I have a feeling that Gods allowing it to happen enough times so that I genuinely get fed up with it and have the conscious strength to cut it down before it starts. Tomorrow will be day 1 of a clean slate, that's why I'm on this video. My advice to everyone here is something ive realized in the progress, your hardest challenge the devil set you up with is what you need to overcome the most to help other people. People who have been addicted to drugs start drug campaigns to help others, ex-gang members who get saved help save other gang members. For all of us here, people who struggle with sexual sin will help other people who watch porn, are physically active before marriage, maybe even minister to sex workers to come follow Christ. I believe that's possible for everyone. Some may take longer but Jesus has never not been able to save someone if we put in the work on our side. I believe in the 919 people who have commented so far that you can overcome this sin, and even more. I'm praying for all of you, you have all of us and all of heaven on your side. Amen

I tell you a technique to stop watching porn...choose one pornstar and don't watch videos of any other pornstar other than her...soon you will be free of porn addiction.. Say thank you to me in advance

I gave up pornography three months ago today. I got tired of the guilt and shame, and got into a recovery group at my church. While in a sense it has been liberating, in another sense, the battle has gotten even more difficult. Whereas before I wouldn’t necessarily have as much of a desire to seek out sex, after giving up porn, my thoughts about trying to hook up with women increased tremendously. Part of the reason the battle is so intense sometimes is because I am a single male who lives by himself and is a virgin. It doesn’t help that so much of the media around us forces scantily clad women and sexual scenarios in our faces. Of course keeping busy and working/coming to church helps keep my mind off of it. Like most of the other men on this video, I could use some prayer. I am continuing to claim victory over this.

Still haven't beaten it, but I noticed the struggle start to alleviate when I met this amazing lady. She is now my fiance, and we are very happy together. After I got into a relationship, I realized the root of the struggle with p*** was loneliness. It's still something I battle, but it gets easier when you have a companion. I think the part of the struggle when you're a virgin is that you of course want to experience sex. Once you get it, the pressure is relieved. I think a lot of virgins also think that sex is going to be this mind-boggling experience, but it all depends on who your partner is. Sex is only going to be great if you are in love with your partner. A quick hookup is going to leave you unfulfilled. I wish I would have realized sooner that sex itself wasn't going to fix the problem, but rather falling in love with the right woman.

I agreed and disagree because yes indeed having a partner a wife or a husband helps but let's not put confidence in our flesh there tons of marriages dealing with lust and porn this is something so wicked the remedy is denying ourselves daily, praying, and reading our word, resisting and fleeing from sin lack of discipline and constantly being distracted with our phone can lead us back even KZread is not safe. We need guard our heart what are we watching, listening, etc.

Yes, this is so true! For me I used lust to feel love. But lust hurts us so much, hurts us mentally and makes us feel even more vulnerable because it is intended for marriage, for a complete trust. It makes people crazy and that's why people are so needy and not able to trust and hurt from the past but taking it out on others that don't deserve it. It's so much disfunction piled on top of more disfunction :(

God has given you natural sexual desires and there is nothing wrong with them, but heart purity and self-control in your thoughts and actions are a must (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). God calls us to love from a pure heart (see 1 Timothy 1:5, James 4:8, Isaiah 1:16-20). That will eliminate lust that makes you look at another person as a sex object. And that is possible with Jesus, but we need to not only believe it but also agree 100% with him to go in that direction. What God's grace promises to his servants who live for Him is "life and peace" (Romans 8:6), not a losing battle with natural urges and impure thoughts that result in sin certainly. You are in a battle for your soul (we all are) and it has to be won in your mind. Ask God to help you stay focused on right thoughts and don't get distracted. You need to keep your mind on living in a way that pleases God in every way, from your thoughts to your actions. If you realize that you are trapped in sin and need to be delivered, knowing what you need to do goes together with prayers for your deliverance, because you must follow God's instructions to you in your situation. You must be willing to see what it feels like to say "No" to a desire of your flesh when you are being tempted, and see how the temptation goes away (James 1:12-15, 1 Corinthians 10:13). God's grace will help you to do that (Titus 2:11-14) and He will be with you in all those moments if your focus is on loving and pleasing Him above all and you trust that He will deliver you. Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (Romans 3:25), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin/addictions and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4-7, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). You need to approach God the way He expects you to-with the right mindset. James 1:21-22 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness [that's repentance],✷ receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word [that's faith, which implies obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. ✷Repentance means you turn from disobedience to God to obedience to God, then you continue on a path of faithful obedience to God, which is what faith is about-not sinning/deliberately disobeying God (the opposite). James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. This is always a good place to start drawing near to God: Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. That will lead you to transformation by the power of God and freedom from sin. Peace to you!

thank you so much, it is so kind of you to go out of your way to help people like me.

The only way to gain victory over sin is by placing our faith exclusively in the Cross. Then the Holy Spirit will empower us to walk in victory. God bless you my brother 🙏👍

Faith in the cross? The cross is merely a symbol, a thing in which to be thankful for. Yeshua's the One to have faith in. That is not the same.

Fear of poverty Fear of death Fear of old age Fear of loss of love Fear of criticism Fear of I’ll health These are the main fears

I too struggle with lust and I’ve been bottling it all in. Each time I find myself getting rid of this sin the devil knocks on the door and I always let him in. Please pray for me and I just wanna thank you God for allowing me to open up about it to your people. Thank you God, Amen 🙏

Jesus tells us to face hardships and trials.....tells us to run away from only one thing, Sexual Immorality. Kings have been brought down to their knees because of this.

The "War vs. Battles" mentality is SO real. Thanks for sharing this video!

Your channel has been such a blessing to me in this walk with God. You popped up on my suggestions page one day and ever since the messages I see are right on time. Thank you God for this vessel, please cover, protect, and strengthen him in Jesus name, Amen.

Just as I was having lustful thoughts, your video popped up in my recommended! Praise God ❤️ I have been struggling with fantasizing about people I don’t know as well as daydreaming about different scenarios but never talk about it with anyone. Thank you for sharing this video! I pray that God will answer the prayers of those who are watching this in unexpected ways. Remember that only God can truly satisfy you, in abundance, and free of shame.

You did not fail God. And you committing lust is not going to be the reason you don’t go to heaven. Everybody sins and yet so many people still go to heaven. If you let God into your heart and really believe that God died on the cross for you and is your savior. You will go to heaven. Committing a sin does not define you and God still loves you more than words can describe. Always remember that! ❤️

I try my best to be as capable and decent to others around me. I don't curse, act rude, or make flirty comments to anyone, I just try to be nice. But the people around me make it hard. Being inappropriate for a joke is something I never understood (dark humor) and cursing is like a cool thing that makes you look more adult, which it's actually the opposite, it shows you're more ignorant. But I always look forward to the Summers because that's when I'm away from school.

You're right, cursing just shows how little you understand. dark and inappropriate jokes are completely unnecessary and public school is a terrible environment, it pulls kids away from the home and separates family. all it does is indoctrinate. it takes away *real* teaching about God. I think many many people don't realize how serious it actually is. keep going forward and trying your best to live for God despite your toxic environment! go against the grain! Keep going! you have my prayers and you're doing great in this war. God's got you held under his wing, you got this my guy!

*Lust isn't about the physical aspect, it's about the psychological. Lust is a form of abuse and like all forms of abuse the psychological element is what drives the whole issue. As a survivor of childhood, domestic abuse, I know this almost better than anyone. The reason why people have this false sense of what lust is is because they don't understand that part, we see a mere fraction of what happened during these cases (the sexual assualt) and believe that's all there is to it. Because of this, we assume the victim was responsible for "enticing" the perpetrator, this is ignorance. What we don't see is the priming and grooming and intimidation and breaking down of the victim's psychology in order to make this happen. That part of it is more "fun" for the villain than the actual assualt and that's why all acts of lust (pee...dough...feel ya, raype, incest, prostitution, po...rn, molestation, neck...row...feel ya, zoo-feel ya, home...O...sexuality) are deemed men-tall disorders. Do your research and you'll find that the majority of sexual predators have severe men-tall disorders and PTSD. This is what I wish more people understood.*

Thank you so much for this! I’ve had a problem with fantasizing over a romantic fairytale ending with people I know aren’t the right person for me. I’ve been told by so many people that it’s ok but it’s never felt that way. I’m glad someone is pointing out the evil behind it!

Thank you bro for this amazing video! The Enemy will Try and plant different images and things in your face to draw us in. One thing that you talked about that helped me was resist. When temptation comes my way one thing that pops up in my head is “that’s the enemies way of trying to surpess you.” Because once you see something or allow something enough times your going to think it’s okay to have see or do. Being a personal training the word of knowledge of how your muscles grow in correlation to lust is true. I pray anyone reading this stays encouraged if they are struggling or just coming to this video to learn more about what Lust is.

There’s a difference between loneliness and aloneness. The deep loneliness we experience we try to satisfy with lust or something else. Yet to not be lonely we need experience aloneness with God. Which is getting quiet or silent enough to let everything (fear, anxiety) swell up and give it over to God.

I get you because every time I watched porn it was because I was feeling terribly lonely and I wanted to simulate the feeling of someone wanting me. But it is such a fleeting gratification it is never worth it. Let me pray for you right now before I forget. Also if you ever want to talk just let me know

Hello mr. Alex. I just wanted to let you know that this short clip helped me. Thank you for coming on KZread to help people.

Literally couldn't have been. Said better. Thank you for the time and effort to make since of the darkness. I pray that this helps who ever hears it to defeat the war of lust. May God bless you. Amen. :)

After reading psalm 1:1 not too long ago about 1:hunger 2:meditate 3:produce. I truly believe that you have a gift for preaching, you not only explain in away I can comprehend, like an infant, but you do it with so much love of God that I always feel welcomed. Keep it up my brother!😎🤙🥂

The analogy with lifting really resonated with me as I use it to ignore my emotions . In order to grow spiritually you have to resist and refill just like our temples 💒

Hi Alex, I have been struggling with lust and God sent me this message to help me with my issues, you have helped me with a lot, thank you Alex

4:10 "Making sure nobody is behind me because I'm about to share this story with a billion people all over the world"🤣,, Great message bro

This was very helpful, I just found your channel after having my KZread stories and Instagram reels full of temptation and evil. And ive been desperately wanting to break free of it. After seeing one of your stories it really inspired me to defeat the algorithm and interact more with them to cast sin from my social media feed.

I was 12 when I got exposed to porn. 10 years later it’s still been a major part of my life until 4-5 months ago when I started walking according to the spirit instead of the flesh. However I’ve been struggling recently and just yesterday I broke my near month long streak of no porn. It’s so frustrating. I’m glad this video popped up out of nowhere on my recommendations! Maybe this is the works of God!

notice your triggers, instead of furthering the situation, just turn off every distraction and sit with yourself, silence, let your mind go off whatever, *listen* instead of trying to change it, just stay where you are and relax into what you're feeling, chill w it and accept it for how you see it, just push away judgements and let yourself FLOW with your thoughts. Then try to involve God into your thoughts, until you feel the right time to get up and face the world again. You feel like DAAYUM after that , most of all thank yourself after YEES just sitting doing nothing and embracing your thoughts is a big game changer to see as of a higher perspective,

Thank you so much for this, it’s been such a battle for me with lust. It’s a never ending temptation that reminds me daily that I can’t do this alone!! I Feel like I’ve been constantly under inner turmoil lately , for self sabotaging my morals, self esteem, and worldview for quick pleasures. It’s so infuriating when you give in and you feel like you can’t control yourself and that your worthless . These online escapades slowly start to change your thoughts and subtle behavior . I know that I need God but with all these worldly temptations Somtimes after the deed I can so feel far from him at times. I know I have to consume his word daily to survive these battles and ultimately this war! I just ask that anyone who can please pray for me and Thank you again for reminding me who I’m really up against in this fight!
