..........HOW TO OVERCOME SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND TEMPTATIONS.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4 KJV:That every one of you should KNOW HOW to possess his vessel
in sanctification and honour;
. SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND TEMPTATIONS ARE THE PROBLEMS OF HUMANS. THIS SIN
CALLED SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS GENERATED FIRST IN THE MIND, IT'S THE MOST
COMMON AND THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE WEAPON THE DEVIL IS USING AGAINST
HUMANITY IN ORDER TO DESTROY THEIR SOUL, CHARACTER AND THEIR
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ALMIGHTY.
. IF THE DEVIL CAN MAKE YOU FALL INTO SEXUAL IMMORALITY THEN HE HAS
SEPARATED YOU FROM GOD, WITH THIS HE CAN DESTROY YOUR BODY WHICH IS
GODS TEMPLE AND YOUR SOUL IN HELL. 1COR.6:15.
===> AN UNCONTROLLABLE SEXUAL URGE PREMARITALLY OR EXTRA MARITALLY
LEADS TO SEXUAL SIN. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN YOU ALLOW SEXUAL URGE STAY
LONG IN YOUR MIND YOU WILL GIVE IN TO SEXUAL PRESSURE AND IMMORALITY.
.
NOTE: A PERSON WHO LOOSE SELF CONTROL HAS LOST CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.
(Pastor Ezekiel Atang).
.
1 Thessalonians 4:3 KJV:For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should
abstain from fornication:
4 KJV:That every one of you should KNOW HOW to possess his vessel in sanctification and
honour;
==> GOD HAS GIVEN US THE GRACE, WISDOM AND POWER TO CONTROL OUR SEXUAL
URGE, IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU ALLOW IT STAY IN YOUR MIND FOR LONG THAT YOU WILL
SOON DISGRACE YOUR SELF BY FALLING INTO SEXUAL IMMORALITY. Matthew 5:28
KJV:But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart.
.
. THESE ARE THE WAYS TO OVERCOME SEXUAL IMMORALITY :
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
NOTE : AN IMMORAL LIFESTYLE YOU CANNOT STOP HAS BECOME DEMONIC.
.
1.) BE BORN AGAIN : GIVING YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD
ESCAPING DEMONIC MANIPULATIONS THAT LEADS TO SEXUAL SIN.
i.) IT IS ALSO GIVING GOD YOUR WEAKNESSES AND TAKING HIS STRENGTH TO
OVERCOME TEMPTATIONS.
ii.) GIVING YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST CAUSES GOD TO HELP YOU FIGHT AND OVERCOME
TEMPTATIONS.
iii.) GOD LEADS YOU AWAY FROM TEMPTATIONS. Matthew 6:13
KJV: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
. NOTE: YOU CANNOT OVERCOME SIN WITH CANALITY, BUT WITH HIGH SPIRITUALITY.
James 4:7 KJV:Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
==> IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOURSELF TO GOD ( by being born agian) THAT YOU
CAN RESIST THE DEVIL, ( Sin) THEN HE WILL FLEE AND YOU WILL OVERCOME.
.
. 2.) HAVE A PASTOR ( Spiritual Mentor) : AFTER SALVATION, THE NEXT BEST THING TO
HAPPEN TO A BELIEVER IS HAVING A PASTOR (Sheperd) WHO WILL LEAD, DIRECT AND
TEACH YOU THE RIGHT PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
==> YOUR PASTOR IS SOMEONE YOU CAN ALWAYS
DISCUSS YOUR ADDICTIONS AND SINS TO AND HE WILL REBUKE, CAST OUT, EXHORT,
COUNSEL, DIRECT AND SUPERVISE YOUR DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES FOR A PRODUCTIVE
CHRISTIAN LIVING.
. NOTE: HAVING A SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN MENTOR THAT YOU ARE ANSWERABLE TO
WILL REDUCE AND ELIMINATE MISTAKES AND SINS IN YOUR LIFE. Jeremiah 3:14-15
KJV:Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you
one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 KJV:And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge
and understanding.
.
3.) DO NOT LOOK OR THINK OF THE OPPOSITE SEX TWICE ( LUSTFULLY) : An opposite
sex you are not married to, don't think twice of him/her or allow his/ her picture stay long in your
mind. JOB 31:1 KJV: I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
... NOTE : WHEN HIS/HER PICTURE STAYS IN YOUR MIND, LUST IS GENERATED, AND
WHEN LUST IS GENERATED SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS INEVITABLE. JAMES 1:15 KJV:Then
when LUST hath conceived, it bringeth forth SIN: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth
DEATH.
. JOB 31:1 NIV:“I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.
. MATTHEW 5:28 KJV:But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
.
. 4.) SEE THE OPPOSITE SEX AS YOUR MATERNAL OR PATERNAL BROTHER OR SISTER:
THIS TECHNIQUE WILL HELP YOU GET OVER LUST QUICKLY. SINCE IT'S A TABOO AND
IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE SEX WITH YOUR BLOOD BROTHER AND SISTER, THEN SEEING
THE OPPOSITE SEX AS YOUR BLOOD BROTHER AND SISTER AUTOMATICALLY KILLS
LUST AND SEXUAL FEELINGS IN YOUR HEART. 1TIMOTHY 5:2 KJV:The elder women as
MOTHERS; the younger as SISTERS, with all PURITY.
.
5.) PROTECT YOUR MIND : WHAT YOU THINK IN YOUR MIND DETERMINES YOUR
DESIRES AND YOUR DESIRES GIVES BIRTH TO YOUR ACTIONS. REBUKE, REJECT AND
REFUSE EVERY IMMORAL OR SEXUAL THOUGHTS THAT COMES INTO YOUR MIND IN
ORDER TO AVOID FALLING INTO TEMPTATIONS. Proverbs 4:23 KJV:Keep thy heart with all
diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs 23:7 KJV:For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: ....
==> RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE. JAMES 4:7.
.
6.) AVOID FRIENDS, PLACES AND ATMOSPHERE THAT STIRS UP YOUR LOVE : Friends
and places who discuss the opposite sex sexually should be avoided because they are stirring
up LUST which will make you start thinking about immorality. SONGS OF SOLOMON 2:7 KJV: I
charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir
not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPTS GOOD MANNERS. 1Cor 13:55.
.
7.) STAY AWAY FROM PORNOGRAPHY : PORNOGRAPHY INTRODUCES A PERSON TO
IMMORAL HABITS LIKE: Lust, Sexual immorality, Masturbation, Lesbianism, Homosexuality,
unwholesome bonding to the opposite sex etc. i.) PORNOGRAPHY BREAKS YOUR ABILITY
TO HAVE SELF CONTROL.
ii.) PORNOGRAPHY INTRODUCES YOU TO A LIFESTYLE OF PROMISCUITY.
iii.) PORNOGRAPHY DESTROYS YOUR CHARACTER AND MAKES YOU TO DEVELOP
IMMORAL HABITS.
iv.) PORNOGRAPHY MAKES YOU UNABLE TO RESIST SEXUAL PRESSURE AND
TEMPTATION.
. ===> PORNOGRAPHY SETS LUST AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY IN MOTION IN YOUR LIFE.
.
8.) BEWARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT: For every country, state, local
government, villages, families environment and place, there are immoral spirits governing the air
(atmosphere) which makes people behave the way they behave or have a particular sinful life
pattern.
NOTE: THESE SPIRITS ALSO INFLUENCE WHOSO EVER THAT STAYS THERE. STUDY
YOUR ENVIRONMENT SO THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO ESCAPE SEXUAL TEMPTATIONS,
IMMORALITY AND REGULAR SINFUL PATTERNS PREVALENT IN THAT ENVIRONMENT
AND THE AIR (ATMOSPHERE). Ephesians 2:2 KJV:Wherein in time past ye walked according
to the course of this world, according to the prince of the POWER OF THE AIR, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience:
NOTE: God wants us to break free from this environmental demonic influence so that we can live
a holy life which is acceptable unto God.
.
9.) AVOID BEING IN A LONELY AND SECRET PLACE WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX : SEXUAL
IMMORALITY IS A SIN THAT THRIVE IN THE SECRETE AND IN LONELINESS. ALWAYS BE
IN A PLACE WITH OTHER PEOPLE, WITH THIS YOU WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE TO
YOURSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE.
. NOTE: AVOID DARK AND LONELY PLACES BECAUSE LONELINESS AND DARKNESS
FUELS IMMORALITY.
.
10.) FLEE (Run from it) : SEXUAL PRESSURE IS A DEMONIC PUSH THAT YOU SHOULD
NOT NEGOTIATE OR SURRENDER TO IT. IT IS A PUSH THAT YOU SHOULD RUN AT THE
MENTION OF IT OR THE SIGHT OF IT. THIS IS JOSEPH'S STYLE, A RECOMMENDED AND
AN EFFECTIVE METHOD OF ESCAPING IMMORALITY. Genesis 39:7-12. VS12 KJV:And she
caught him( JOSEPH) by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand,
and FLED, and got him out.
. ==> RUN AWAY FROM EVERY APPEARANCE OF EVIL.
.
11.) AVOID FILM, VIDEOS, MUSICS AND PICTURES THAT ARE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT: THE
21st CENTURY MASS MEDIA CONTROLS HUMAN BEHAVIOUR, ACTIONS, FASHIONS AND
TRENDS. THESE THINGS HAS A WAY OF CONTROLLING YOUR MIND, EMOTIONS AND
WILL. ANY TIME YOU WATCH OR HEAR THINGS THAT ARE SEXUAL IN NATURE, YOUR
EMOTIONS AND WILL ARE CAPTURED AND ARRESTED; SO YOU WILL ACT
ACCORDINGLY. BY THIS, LUST IS PLANTED IN YOUR MIND THAT WILL LEAD YOU INTO
SEXUAL IMMORALITY.
.
12.) ALWAYS BE IN THE SPIRIT : BEING IN THE SPIRIT PREVENTS YOU FROM
RESPONDING AND YIELDING TO THE FLESHLY LUST AND DESIRES. ROMANS 8:5
KJV:For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the
Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 KJV:For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 KJV:Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be.
8 KJV:So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
GALATIANS 5:16.
KJV:This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 KJV:For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are
contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
. NOTE: BE IN THE SPIRIT BY THINKING OF GODS WORD AND HIS WAYS ALWAYS. BE
SPIRITUALLY CONSCIOUS.
.
13.) AVOID FREQUENTLY CALLING, BEING CALLED AND CHATTING ON PHONE WITH
THE OPPOSITE SEX : PHONE CALLS AND CHATS ARE WAYS OF EMOTIONAL, MENTAL
AND PHYSICAL BONDING AND CONNECTIONS TO THE OPPOSITE SEX WHICH WILL IN
TURN FUEL LUST, SEXUAL AROUSAL AND SIN.
NOTE : IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FIGHT LUST AND SEXUAL IMMORALITY, CUT ALL
FORMS OF CONNECTIONS WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX.
.
. 14.) PRAY, FAST AND READ THE SCRIPTURES REGULARLY : THESE ARE SPIRITUAL
EXERCISE THAT WILL KEEP YOU FIT AND QUICKEN TO RESIST SINFUL PLEASURE AND
PRESSURE. WHEN THE WORD OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU THERE WILL BE NO SPACE FOR
IMMORAL THOUGHT, HABITS AND LIFESTYLE TO OCCUPY.
ABOVE ALL, PROCLAIM THE SCRIPTURES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON YOURSELF, LIKE:
Romans 6:14 KJV: For sin shall not have dominion over you (ME): for ye are not under the law,
but under grace.
.
. 15.) AS A LADY KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY AND THE ABILITY TO
WITHSTAND SEXUAL PRESSURE FOR TOO LONG: When a man or the opposite, or same
sex starts talking about sex or romantic words and statements, please leave that place for your
own emotional, physical and spiritual safety.
NOTE : STOP LISTENING TO ROMANTIC STATEMENTS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX OR SAME
SEX OR YOU WILL CAVE IN TO PRESSURE AND IMMORALITY.
.
16.) INVESTIGATE AND DEAL WITH YOUR FOUNDATION : PROMISCUITY AND SEXUAL
LUST IS SOMETIMES TRACED TO BE A GENERATIONAL LIFESTYLE, A FAMILY
SHORTCOMING, WEAKNESS AND TREND THAT MOVES FROM GENERATION TO
GENERATION BLOOD LINE IN ORDER TO DESTROY SOULS. e.g A grand father who married
two or more wives, and had many children from different women. The children and generations
to come will likely carry or repeat the same promiscuous lifestyle and most likely in a greater
dimension etc.
==> NOTE: SO MAKE SURE YOU STUDY AND INVESTIGATE IN ORDER TO KNOW THE
PREVALENT NEGATIVE LIFESTYLE IN YOUR BLOODLINE AND FAMILY AND WORK
TOWARDS FIGHTING AND ESCAPING FROM IT.
.
17.) DETERMINE AND BE SERIOUS ABOUT FIGHTING AND ESCAPING FROM SEXUAL SIN
AND TEMPTATION : NO ONE WILL FIGHT IMMORALITY FOR YOU, THIS IS A BATTLE YOU
FIGHT FOR YOURSELF. SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS DECEIVINGLY AND DESTRUCTIVELY
PLEASURABLE TO THE FLESH, SO WITHOUT DETERMINATION, DISCIPLINE AND
SERIOUSNESS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BREAK FREE FROM THIS DEMONIC SETUP.
==> RECEIVE THE GRACE IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
.
NOTE : YOU MIGHT WONDER WHY FIGHTING SEXUAL TEMPTATIONS IS TOO LONG AND
DEMANDING. YES IT IS, THIS IS BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS DEPLOYED EVERYTHING HE
HAS IN HIS ARSENAL TO DESTROY HUMANS THROUGH IMMORALITY. SO FIGHTING
SEXUAL TEMPTATIONS REQUIRES OPTIMUM DISCIPLINE, DEDICATION, SERIOUSNESS
AND DETERMINATION.
.
NOTE: AN IMMORAL HABIT AND URGE NOT DEALT WITH ON TIME WILL GROW TO
BECOME AN UNCONTROLLABLE LIFESTYLE THAT WILL BE HARD TO ELIMINATE. AND
THIS PUTS PEOPLE INTO BONDAGE AND DEMONIC SLAVERY.
.
. NOTE: SEXUAL URGE ALLOWED TO RUN IN THE MIND FOR A LONG TIME WILL BREAK
AND DESTROY SELF CONTROL.
.
==> IMMORALITY YOU DON'T FIGHT NOW WILL SHOW UP WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE
SERIOUS WITH YOUR LIFE AND IT WILL DESTROY YOUR ENDEAVOURS.
=================> FIGHT IMMORALITY NOW. WHY?
1.) The longer you allow sexual immorality in your life, the more it becomes part of you and the
harder it is to break free. Sexual immorality is an addiction.
2.) Immorality you dont fight now will destroy your reputation.
3.) Many have contacted demonic spirit, incurable diseases and infirmities through sexual
immorality.
4.) AN EVIL SPIRIT LIKE SEXUAL IMMORALITY YOU DON'T FIGHT NOW WILL BE
TRANSFERRED TO YOUR CHILDREN AND GENERATIONS TO COME, WHY? Every human
or ( LIVING THING) will produce after its kind, Genesis 1: 24 & vs 12.
.
ROMANS 6: 12 KJV:Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the
lusts thereof.
13 KJV:Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God.
