Lust — Let's talk about it
Part 2

*How do we overcome the disgusting spirit of lust?*

_1. Confess your sins by name and repent (change your ways)_
When you confess your sins, you don't say "God I'm sorry for everything". It shows that you're lacking accountability for your actions and it means you have not surrendered to God for Him cleanse you from it. (I John 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. )
When we confess the sins individually we surrendering them God and the enemy cannot use that against us.

_2. Create Boundaries_
Boundaries save you from a lot of nonsense even from friends. Elo they will give you a nickname, embrace it.
You can't be going to boys rooms and places with all the hormones that you have and expect nothing to develop ? You are not strong that is why the Bible says *FLEEEEE* *(I Corinthians 6:18 NKJV- Flee s*xual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits s*xual immorality sins against his own body.)*
You can't be entertaining certain conversations. So create those boundaries.

_3. Spend time in Prayer and God's word_
Create an atmosphere of Christ around you. Listen to music that glorifies Jesus. Pray during your break, in the morning and evening, when you're walking, when you're cooking, when you're sweeping or baking. Set times to read your Bible, Study it and meditate on it. If you are constantly found in God's presence it will be very difficult for these to come to you but that does mean you won't be tempted.

_4. Be Intentional_
Be intentional about your boundaries, music, movies, friends, conversations, etc.

_5. Speak the word of God_
Speak the word of God over yourself. Prayerfully quote scriptures that renounce the power of those spirits upon your life.
