If you want to win the battle against sexual immorality as a believer you're the reason I sewed this thread.
PART 1
๐Ÿงต
By sexual immorality I mean all acts including but not limited to intercourse; a good word that would effectively capture what I mean is not in English; it's the greek word ฯ€ฮฟฯฮฝฮตฮฏฮฑ. I could have made a list, but that could be a trap for some brethren I intend to help
๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ
So I mean that you might or might never have been involved in intercourse itself and are battling with sexual immorality of kinds that could or could not be mentioned amongst unbelievers.
If you want to win, keep reading.
If you want to help someone win, read and retweet too

It's been said many times and truthfully so, that the mind(heart) is the most important sexual organ.
Jesus alluded to this more than once.
In Mt. 5:28, he said that lusting after a woman is equal to committing adultery with her.
No physical touches; yet declared guilty
๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ
In Mt. 15:17-19, he said that adultery and fornication proceed from the heart.
Note that Jesus didn't say they proceed from body organs, because the organs will only execute what has been planned by the mind.
So the first step to victory is a heart reconfiguration.

A possible reason you're unable to win the battle is because you're fighting symptoms while leaving the primary cause to fester.
Victory over sexual immorality begins from winning in your heart.
An impure heart will work unclean acts.
So your first step is a clean heart
How?

Two verses come in handy; they're from the same chapter. Ps. 119:9&11.
What ever comes out of the heart is only what already is installed in it.
The heart cannot give what it doesn't have.
Start with what I call a replacement therapy.
Replace the content of your heart

If you begin to intentionally stuff your heart with God's word, you have a head start.
Not just reading the word of God, but surrounding your space with it.
Asides from reading your Bible, another thing that will work is; download an audio Bible, and play the NT while you sleep
What that will help you do is infuse the words of scripture into your subconscious.
Like you heard a song in passing and aeons later the lyrics of the song begin playing in your mind or just one phrase from the song, and you have no idea where you got that phrase from
๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ
I remember one day, I woke up and my spirit kept repeating the words "by thee I ran through a troop, and by my God I leapt over a wall"
I had no idea where those words could be found, but the words wouldn't leave.
I had to pick my Bible and begin to read the book of Psalms
๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ
I was determined to read the whole book until I found those words.
I didn't have to go far.
They were just 18 chapters away from the beginning.
The Holy Spirit will bring to your remembrance only things that are already in your Spirit.
Stuff your mind with God's word.
To be continued tomorrow...
The continuation
