Admin	All Guys...How do you handle lust? Posted : 14 Dec, 2009 06:55 PM Single or married, lust doesn't change. How do you respond to its dark pull? Do you look once, and move foward? Do you look twice, and pray? Do you keeping looking when a certain person captures your attention in ungodly ways, and try to make up for the "bad" you just did? I know what God's Word says about lust, and the solutions for it....but how do you really handle it when confronted with lust-filled opportunities every day? Be honest...... Post Reply

Posted : 14 Dec, 2009 07:41 PM The best way to handle a �hot� skillet is with oven mitts, but since we don�t have �lust� mitts we�ll have to figure out another solution. We are the ones that create lust. It is not created by someone else and crammed down our throats. Some woman can be wearing a low-cut blouse where her joy may be ready to �burst forth� and this may cause you to feel lust, but she did not create that lust; you did! You are the one creating that feeling and if you are the one creating it then you can �uncreate� it. It is as simple as that and as difficult as that. The key thing here is your thoughts. Your thoughts are the indicator of what you are creating. If you were to see a woman like I just described and you were thinking �Whoa! You could land Helicopters on them!��.I think that is a Good indicator of what you are creating and you need to be aware of these thoughts in order to Stop Creating Lust! I am Latin�so my blood is at a simmer all the time and it does not take much to heat it up and I have an artist�s eye, so I appreciate beauty with all its curves and valleys, but I have trained myself (military helped) to catch what my thoughts are telling me and �Detach� myself. Lust is not something any of us should have really. By definition Lust means to gratify One�self with what you Desire or Crave. Lust is selfish and Lust will consume you. 11 For lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished. 12 It is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own Job 31:11-12 Rather, attraction is an emotion that will draw two together and in marriage become one. My passion for the woman I Love is not for my enjoyment or self-gratification -- but rather a consummation of both our pleasures entwining. You see that is not Lust, or Sex but Love! So, to answer your question�simply put � Don�t Lust! � catch yourself if you are thinking lustful thoughts and bite your hand hard or whatever you need to do � but just don�t create it. Also get rid of the word from your vocabulary�.it is a selfish emotion. And remember�.the woman does not create that lust in you�so don�t blame her! Sorry about the crude joke�.Helicopters! Whoa! Peace Post Reply

Posted : 15 Dec, 2009 03:53 AM dear eternal, welcome to the forums. as for your question , i think you already know the answer there.. you know what the bible says about it. and a person can either let it override them and they fail or they follow what the word says .. if youre reading the word daily and filling your thoughts of GOD , its alot harder for anything bad to creep in.. i aint sayin it dont happen.. best thing to do is get it out your mind.. just from your question means you got it on your mind. so get it out.. ole cattle Post Reply
View Profile History	All Guys...How do you handle lust? Posted : 15 Dec, 2009 08:50 PM I think Paul said marriage IS a remedy for lustful temptations. Of course you can pluck out your eye or cut off your hand if it causes you to sin. Depending on which is easier marriage or dismemberment, LOL. But you already know the bible on this so I can give you the words of some of today's most respected authorities on sexual Lust...the Rolling stones, "I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes." :rocknroll: This gem of wisdom is in also the bible as well. It says we are "drawn away by our own lusts." In other words what we see and lust for is what we want more of. Out of the mouth of babes comes the "be careful little eyes what you see." Temptations from within are only part of the battle. Satan came to temp Jesus in the wilderness and after He resisted the devil, Satan departed for a season. If you resist the devil he will flee from you. But he may return when you are weak. The third temptation is this world. The world the flesh and the devil is a threefold cord seeking to bring you into down into bondage. So I use the divide and conquer method. Love not the world. Be careful what you feed your mind/soul. And rebuke the devil, learn how to become a spiritual warrior. :purpleangel: Post Reply

View Profile History	All Guys...How do you handle lust? Posted : 16 Dec, 2009 12:54 PM I'm not sure if this question is in general or meant to be personalized, but I'll go with the latter. For me, it's best for me to remove myself from the situation and all situations that present the appearance of evil (i.e. clubs).. I won't front like I haven't lusted since I've been saved or like I don't have situations now where I might catch myself lusting now, but when I do catch myself, I have to remove myself. When I was dating my last ex and was trying to motivate us both to be celibate, it was her that started the sexual escapades...lol, so go figure.. But now that I'm single, I just do my best to remove myself from the tempation, especially when you're going through the withdrawal phase.. Wait...umm, we're just talking about lusting after women, right? Post Reply

Thinking, I do not go to bars very often.In the last 10 years only once.I do not have cable at home," so that makes it harder to watch show time or x rated movies.I remain sober,:glow: On this site I do not email women that wear bikinis,ok.I have seen a few here like that. I do not have the internet at home,it is at my parents home, the grandkids are around a lot.On the computer or room I am in. Most of my DVD's are railroad dvd's or western.I also like WW2. So, many of my habits do not invovle watching women. It is what you do. I am like all of you guys I like to look at skinny women.But I know that they may be ugly inside.Beauty is skin deep.:peace: Post Reply
