3 Tips on Overcoming Lust

Lust is a powerful enemy in the lives of men all over the world. (Yes, it affects women as well, but I am primarily speaking to men in this article.) Although collectively as Christians we know lust is wrong, the immorality of lust is still prevalent throughout the church. In over 30 years of counseling sex addicts and witnessing first-hand the amazing miracles and healing God can do, I have identified some common lust habits as well as proven tools to overcome them. God desires for all men to live a clean life and be free from lust once and for all. In this article, I will outline three proven tips to help you as a man overcome lust and fulfill your God-given potential.

When Men are Kings

For many years men have struggled with their role within the church. They may be successful at home, in business and socially but when they walk through the doors of the church many often feel unsure of their place. Many feel that if they didn’t attend Bible school, they can’t become a valuable instrument in their church. For a long time, men have been sold a lie in the church that they are laity not royalty.

Your Freedom isn't just about you

There is a direct connection between your sexual behavior and your destiny in Christ. God has designed you and me to do amazing things for his kingdom, and our level of sexual purity will determine how useful we are. Sex and destiny are linked. This is why the devil works so hard to ensnare you in sexual sin. His goal is to neutralize you through immoral sexual behavior, thereby making you ineffective for the kingdom. And after twenty years of counseling men on this issue, I can tell you this is evidence that the devil is scared of you. Yes, afraid. Here’s why.

Quick Tips

Step One for Sex Addiction - "Admitted"

Step One: "We admitted we were powerless over our sexual addiction, and that our lives had become unmanageable."

Have an Attitude of a Lover-Spouse

Imagine waking up in love with your spouse rather than feeling like you are in some philosophical, duty-based, check-off-the-box of being a good husband or wife state of mind. Instead you wake up wowed and feel the same way you were enamored by them when you first held hands or kissed.

A Lack of Intimacy Destroys Relationships

Intimacy is necessary to create and sustain lasting relationships. It keeps you connected, allows you to be present and enables you to meet the other person’s needs. Relationships built on solid foundations and constantly renewed by intimacy are beautiful things. A lack of intimacy kills relationships. Picture your relationship like a lake. Intimacy is the stream that flows into the lake and constantly renews and feeds it. As soon as the stream dries up, the lake soon becomes a dry plain of cracked, sun-baked mud. Don’t let your relationships dry up and choose to be intimate intentionally.

Lovership

A lovership is when we not only believe we can be a lover to our spouse every day, we actually authentically behave this way.

When you are married, you are God's son in law. How do you think God would grade you as his son in law? What we love we protect, and what we protect we love. If you are protecting a sexual secret, then you are loving the behavior or the pornography and hurting the people you love.
