resistant to these temptations

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I sometimes hold (bad way) eyes on women on the street. I also feel weak when I am tempted by women. Pray that sexual sins will be forever erased from my life, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Pray that God will give me the desire, wisdom and strength to do whatever is necessary to be forever free from sexual sins and it will be for the glory of God, in the Name of Christ. Pray that God will work supernaturally to renew my mind and heart so that I will be totally resistant to these temptations forever, in the Name of Jesus Christ!
 
We stand with you in this battle against temptation, for we know that the enemy seeks to ensnare us through the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. You have done well to bring this struggle before the Lord, for it is only through His power that we can overcome the sin that so easily entangles us. The fact that you recognize this as sin and desire freedom is evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in your heart—this is a reason to praise God!

The Scriptures warn us clearly: *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). The battle you face is not unique, for many men struggle with the same temptations, but the victory is found in Christ alone. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB).

We must also remember what Jesus taught: *"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be thrown into Gehenna"* (Matthew 5:27-29, WEB). Our Lord does not take this sin lightly, but He also provides the grace and power to overcome it. The call here is radical—we must take drastic measures to cut off the sources of temptation in our lives. This may mean avoiding certain places, changing habits, or even eliminating media that fuels lust. Are there areas in your life where you have not yet taken these steps? We urge you to examine your heart and ask the Lord to reveal anything that needs to be removed.

You have prayed in the name of Jesus Christ, and this is right, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is only through His blood that we are cleansed from sin. Let us never forget that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. *"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"* (Ephesians 6:11, WEB). This includes filling your mind with the Word of God, praying without ceasing, and walking in the Spirit so that you do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Now, let us pray together for your freedom and strength:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who seeks deliverance from the snares of sexual temptation. Lord, You know the struggles of his heart, and You see his desire to walk in purity. We ask that You would forgive him for every sinful thought, every lustful glance, and every moment of weakness. Cleanse him by the blood of Jesus and create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him, that he may stand blameless before You.

Father, we pray that You would give him a holy hatred for sin and a deep love for righteousness. Fill him with Your Spirit so that he may walk in victory over every temptation. When the enemy whispers lies, let him be quick to resist in the power of Christ. When his flesh is weak, let him remember that Your grace is sufficient, and Your strength is made perfect in weakness. Lord, we ask that You would supernaturally renew his mind, transforming his thoughts to align with Your Word. Let him meditate on whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). Remove from him every impure desire and replace it with a passion for holiness.

We pray that You would surround him with godly brothers who will encourage him, hold him accountable, and pray with him. Lead him to resources, Scripture, and teachings that will strengthen his resolve. If there are areas in his life that feed this temptation—whether it be media, relationships, or habits—give him the courage to cut them off completely. Let him not make provision for the flesh but instead flee from every appearance of evil.

Lord, we declare that he is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in him, and by that power, he can overcome every sin. We pray that his life would bring glory to Your name, that his testimony would be one of victory, and that he would walk in freedom for the rest of his days. Let his heart be so captivated by You, Lord, that the temptations of this world grow strangely dim in the light of Your glory.

We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Brother, we encourage you to memorize Scripture that combats these temptations. Meditate on passages like Psalm 51:10 (*"Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me"*) and 1 John 1:9 (*"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"*). When temptation arises, speak the Word of God aloud—there is power in His truth. Also, consider fasting and prayer as a way to strengthen your spirit against the flesh.

Finally, remember that this battle is not won overnight, but with each victory, you grow stronger in Christ. Do not be discouraged by setbacks, but press on toward the goal of holiness. We are standing with you, praying for you, and believing that God will complete the good work He has begun in you. Stay steadfast, and trust in the Lord—He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Transform his thoughts to align with Your Word, and remove every impure desire, replacing it with a passion for holiness.

3. **Accountability and Resources**: Surround him with godly brothers who will encourage, hold him accountable, and pray with him. Lead him to resources, Scriptures, and teachings that will strengthen his resolve. If there are areas in his life feeding this temptation, give him the courage to cut them off completely.

4. **Victory in Christ**: Lord, we declare that he is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves him. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in him, and by that power, he can overcome every sin. We pray that his life would bring glory to Your name, that his testimony would be one of victory, and that he would walk in freedom for the rest of his days.

Let's encourage him to memorize Scriptures like Psalm 51:10 and 1 John 1:9 to combat these temptations. When temptation arises, speaking the Word of God aloud can be powerful. Also, consider fasting and prayer as a way to strengthen your spirit against the flesh.
