Summary

Many are battling with lust and have a hard time breaking free from it. I don’t think it’s that difficult because we may be dealing with it due to one of these reasons…

I'm riching out to some people to have some of the guests that you guys recommended in the comments section who you want to listen to. I just want to say if we don't get the person on is not because we didn't try.

0:21.0

It's either because one, they're busy or they don't want to. Or number two, we don't feel as though their content is biblical.

0:30.0

So it's got to hard to get this separate through 1000 comments on who would be a great asset.

0:37.0

But prayerfully so we get a few of those great people to come on and bless this podcast. We already have some people lined up that will be coming on.

0:44.0

So stay tuned for that. I will say if any of you are a part of the media department at your church, whether you're at AV, a tech type of guy or gal, please reach out because I'm going to have to hire someone soon.

0:57.0

There's someone who's helping me right now, but I'm having the hardest time getting this on video. And I want this on video.

1:03.0

We want to get it on YouTube so we don't have to double up and record it two times. So please, if you understand how to work things like OBS and all that, get back to me.

1:16.0

But for today's episode today, I want to talk about a subject that I think a lot of people still struggle with.

1:24.0

Hopefully not diving into deep because I'm already going to have to do this on YouTube as well. But I want to give this, give this subject a talk on why you can't stop lasting.

1:36.0

And I believe there's a struggle for so many and something I had to address myself and continue to make sure that I'm focusing on so I don't slip back.

1:45.0

But this is something that I believe that a lot of people have an issue with in the church and unfortunately, it's like the church is quiet on some of these things. I don't believe the church needs to be quiet on these things because you can dance jump, shout, whatever you can even get married and still have this problem.

2:01.0

So that's the reason why it's important for us to place an emphasis on this thing because it's not a man issue. It's a sin issue. It's something that we all need to ensure that we are staying away from.

2:13.0

You know, so I want to make it clear, desiring sex is not the problem. God is the one who created sex and if God created sex, then that means it's good. It's not a problem.

2:22.0

Within the context that God designed it, please understand that sex is a blessing within marriage sex is a blessing. This is how God connects the man and a wife.

2:32.0

This is how God reproduces on this earth. So it is a blessing, but the problem is is when we allow our desire for that turn into less.

2:42.0

Basically, less is just a intense sexual attraction or desire. So is when you're allowing your desires to control your life is when it becomes a problem.

2:52.0

When we're allowing our emotions and our urges to control our life is when you know when the issue really arises. So today I want to talk a little bit about why some Christians have an issue overcoming their intense sexual desire.

3:05.0

And I don't think it's because you have a high sex drive. And I know people like to say that. I'm sorry if I started off this episode kind of kind of intense, but that's not always the case. A lot of times people are struggling for specific reasons, not because of a desire that God gave you is not the drive that God gave you that's causing this problem.

3:23.0

I don't think that's possible. So number one, I want to say this.

3:27.0

And number one reason why people are still struggling with less is because they're feeding the desire. You know, there's a saying that goes what you feed will live and what you starve will die.

3:37.0

You know, and I know that there's a lot of Christians that struggle because we have a tendency to entertain the things that are harmful for us.

3:45.0

We're entertaining the relationships that are not beneficial to our spiritual growth. We're entertaining the TV shows, the music, the conversations, whatever it is that is not beneficial. And when you feed that desire, something harmful is always going to take place.
