The only thing I struggle with is pornography. It’s literally everywhere and impossible to 100% avoid while also not having a mate for sexual release.
1st Corinthians 7:9
“but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn
with passion.”
Overcoming the desires of the flesh is what I want to achieve.
Forgiveness is the first step:
Colossians 3:13
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Then walking in the spirit:
Galatians 5:16-26
16 But I say,
vwalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify
wthe desires of the flesh. 17 For
xthe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other,
yto keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are
zled by the Spirit,
ayou are not under the law. 19 Now
bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions,
cdivisions, 21 envy,
4drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that
dthose who do
5 such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But
ethe fruit of the Spirit is
flove, joy, peace, patience,
gkindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23
hgentleness,
iself-control;
jagainst such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus
khave crucified the flesh with its
lpassions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit,
mlet us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26
nLet us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
