How I Defeated Lust After 19 Years Of Struggling

I’ve been struggling with lust for 14 years. Worst part? I’m only 23. The enemy snared me at a young age. Brothers: remember the proverb - a dog returns to its vomit. Let us pray to God for the strength to not play that out with our lives. Thanks for the video brother.

I hate lust more than any other sin, it clouds the mind and acts like a slow poison.

I'm fourteen and I need this. I have a future but I don't wanna ruin it. Let's pray for each other.

I am 23, and I’ve been struggling with this since I was 12 years old. The thing about porn, is that it messes you up, and it messes up the way that you view women. One thing I learned is that the closer you are to God, the harder it’s going to get to avoid the temptation to do these things. It makes you become desensitized to things that you’re not supposed to be desensitized to, and twists your mindset until one day you’re looking up something that you never thought you would look up. This scares me so much, because I have been letting God down. I have grown so far from God, and now I’m struggling to get back to Him. Please pray for me.

Every time I think I’ve escaped this sin, it comes back at me like a bite of a snake. I’ve been struggling ever since I was 13. I’ve had a couple victories ever since but I keep falling back and praying to God to not fall in again and repent. Whoever stumbles upon my comment, I’m more than thankful for prayers. I don’t want this sin to pull me back from the purpose God has in store for me. 😢

I’ve been struggling so hard. I felt like completely giving up because it’s not getting any better. I was washing dishes listening to rock to avoid listening to worship music because the shame. But something in my chest felt even more guilty and I just switched it to worship music. I started to cry because I felt so far away from God. I remember when I first encountered His presence and I was so in love with Jesus. Now here I am, letting lust keep me in bondage. But somehow I ended up finding this video. Keep me in prayers please.

I’ve stopped drinking alcohol, not a weed smoker, now I’m just trying to overcome this lust … I’m getting stronger everyday.

Battling lust and committing to retention is a test of your integrity and commitment to yourself & God.

I struggled with porn. Now I’m free, praise God! Been 4 months of no porn or masturbating. I had to work on guarding my heart, mind and eyes. Plus, all the acts of porn, lust and masturbating serves you, not God. Everyday is a battle, but we have to remember and recite scripture. Jesus was tempted by the devil and literally rebuked the devil with scripture, we can overcome as well. To all those out there, a pastor mentioned: It’s pretty difficult to watch porn while playing worship music.

I overcame lust with already 14, I did it through Christ and I am grateful for it. I have been already almost half a year clean 😁

I confess brothers and sisters, I’ve been struggling with lust and I just ask for prayer. Blessed be the Lord despite being weak.

I’m 39 years old I have been struggling with this addiction most of my life, and it has gotten me know where. It truly is spiritual warfare, and I choose Jesus every time. Thank you brother for this video and help tremendously for me to look at it from a different point of you.🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

For a Christian girl who struggles with lust and masturbation. I had to put a pause on dating and relationships because I don't want to give virginity away to someone i don't know properly in the heat of the moment. I'm still trying to be close to God.. but the road is so lonely and the shame is crippling. I feel like a sitting duck to any form of attack from the enemy because I don't even know how to identify it. When I try resisting my body is on fire and my emotions in torment..i don't know who to call for help then. I'm so much ashamed to even talk to God in the moment of resistance, it takes me forever to even listen to Christian music and I feel so damaged and broken beyond repair..no one talks about this things at church so I feel that I am always alone 💔. I'm trying not to give up hope in life, please pray for me Edit: Thank you guys for all the advice I really appreciate it 🙏 You guys are the best. I'm still trying my best to keep fighting on despite how lonely it is. Thank you

I realized that lust attacked God and it hurts God and I didn’t want that anymore. Coming from a married man with two daughters, I also stopped looking at women as meat and started visualizing women as daughters of God. Stay strong and stay prayed up!

I’m 25 I’ve been watching and struggling with this since I was 12. I prayed about 30ish min ago asking for guidance and help and this video came up during a few others. Praise unto the lord for his guidance and his mercy

Spot on, Nick! And I'm 74 years old keeping the faith, and I thank you.

When a lustful thought creeps in I immediately shut it down and say “ i take this thought captive in Jesus name” and say Lord help me as i flee from lust and sprint towards you, embrace me with open arms. The imagery of running towards Jesus helps.

I am 19 years old and God gave me a message to come to him and rebuke the lust spirit. Speaking to God gave me the strength to get out of that comfort zone and repent from my sins. I also pray for those who are still struggling with this and come back to God in order to cast out those sinful spirits. Stay Blessed Everyone 🙏

Keep spreading the word ALOT of us struggle with lust. Happy I came across this video!

Well spoken brother, there arent too many who are willing to speak on this matter and we are grateful for your words🙌🏾
