To leave him out of the picture entirely is short sighted and possibly dangerous. We need God's help to overcome our flesh and to overcome principalities and powers that would seek to destroy us.

Amen, In ourselves we don't have the power to overcome.Only through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Stewart said...God tells you to flee from the devil.

I do think that when there is lust in a man's heart that it has very little to do with how a woman looks or what she wears. I know several men who have had sexual addictions and the women, list of women you see them with are many times; quite ugly [no physical beauty], some rarely in their right mind to the point of being mentally retarded, and some will even practice bestiality, and necromancy. When the sexual sins beset you it isn't about anything but the entertainment of the evil spirit in your life and unless you choose deliverance you will never be free from it.

The Bible talks about the weights and sins that so easily beset us - we all have a pet sin...that same thing that comes back to torment us. Only you as an idvidual knows what it is in your life. This is something we have to flee from, give no place to, and have accountability to maintain freedom from that one thing that always seems to come back to you in weak moments.

Paul speaks about this when he tells us that the things he wants to do - he fails to do and the things he struggles with and don't want to do is what he ends up doing. You and I are no different than Paul and each of us have our struggle/problem area that needs God's mercy and grace to cover and deliver us from. The first step is identifying what it is, repenting of it, and take every precaution to keep it from attaching itself to us again. If and when it does...we go through the same process: know the triggers, run/flee from those situations, and run to the foot of the cross.

Blessings, Rhoni

Good post...... I also happen to agree with you.

Well........ first, let me make this plain.

I certainly am not telling her "she is wrong".

I was simply pointing out a mere impression I got, and asking a question about it. Second, so far as I have seen, she has not answered in any negative, disrespectful, or irritated manner.

I don't mind it if someone has a different view than mine.

I certainly don't wish to participate in any hostility about it.
