    Like a warrior in battle, lust is that one enemy that gets stronger the more you attack it. I starts off as weak but the more you engage the stronger it gets. When god days flee from sexual immorality it is not a retreat or a cowardly order. It is strategy to overcome lust, how to do defeats something that feeds on your fight against it, you have to starve it by depriving it from what it desires and needs. Even at the end you don’t strike it down when it’s weak but instead you keep depriving it till there is nothing left of it. And making sure the enemy that is lust stays gone. God knows our desire to overcome and just stand firm against evil in his name. After all it comes from him, that is why he says to flee from sexual immorality Becuase it is the only way to defeat and overcome lust.

    I just had a mad revelation. One thing I’ve come to understand is that lust is a purpose killer, and purpose is a problem solver. There’s a problem the enemy doesn’t want u to solve and that’s why the Bible says to “flee”. Not only is there a danger bc the spirit is willing but the flesh weak, but temptation is ultimately a distraction, and the more ur distracted (ie facing lust), the more you’re off your God given assignment. Lust is a topic that has so many layers and actually isnt talked about enough in its entirety, but this was good. God bless 🙏🏾

    i've learned in overcoming lust that it truly isn't me who allows me to do so. i believe the only reason that i'm able to walk away from any sin is because the Holy Spirit resides within me. all glory & honor to God.

    Isn't this something. I have never seen your channel before or any of your videos, but this morning I was crying next to my bed asking God why I can't overcome this. I tried and tried to fight and lost over and over again. It makes perfect sense to flee from it, but it's so hard because the visuals are Everywhere. Thank you for this. I could use a prayer, God bless you.

    You literally saved me today from relapsing to sexual immorality. I just watched the 4th late nights with Christ. What a gem of a video, and it got recommended at the exact right time! Thank you so much. When you compared the times you've been sexualized versus the times you've been genuinely shown romantic interest in really hit me. Truly, I teared up a little when you said that. It's a sad world we live in, but thank God we have Jesus. And when you said that being lusted after crushes you, I felt like I woke up. I don't think I've ever heard a woman say that before, but I have to say, I really find that beautiful. I know exactly what you mean, and I'm a man, so it's obviously quite a bit worse for you. Sorry what the world has done to you. I guess men and women have to deal with the cancer that lust and sexual immorality causes in different ways, but both genders definetly have to suffer because of it. Thanks though, for real. In the past, very few of these videos have actually helped, when I've been close to relapsing. But yours did. I'll pray for you.

    Lust is too powerful to fight. We must flee from it at all cost, or we will give in to it every time. Trust in Jehovahs power to overcome it. It was never our battle in the first place, but God's battle for him to fight for us ❤🙏

I am truly grateful for the way God speaks through you. I stumbled across your previous lust video and testimony one night a few weeks ago while I was star gazing and turned back to Christ after falling away from him and being uncertain of my faith for many years. I see myself in you in many ways and I think that those videos were the exact thing I needed in that moment. I am back on my journey now and I am happier than I ever have been. Thank you again and God bless!

    This was a very well done video (enough to make me stop what I was doing just to listen and reflect on it) but your comment near the end was what stood out to me. God is always always right about everything and it’s kind of silly how we so astoundingly tend to think otherwise. All his commands are for the best of us, his statutes are made of love. Lust destroyed a relationship I had, and I only realized not too long ago that all I was doing was not just hurting relationships but also myself.
    Surrendering to God’s love is integral to leaving such an ugly life behind. We don’t just flee from sexual immorality into nowhere-we run into God’s arms. He yearns for our company and to help us.
    That’s what I’ve really been trying to do at least and spending time in adoration or in front of a tabernacle just to feel the physical presence of God’s love. As a college student, When certain tempting sights appear esp on weekends or I hear stories of what others talk about a lot, it just fills me with sadness more than anything. Only His love can fill the hole which lust leaves in our hearts. A life with God is a beautiful one.

    Thank you so much for this Maria. I feel like I've been dealing with this exact issue. I keep putting myself in situations where I keep trying to fight lust head on instead of fleeing, like I know I'm supposed to flee, but I don't know, my mind just keeps going back to fight it, even though I know I'm not supposed to. I don't want to be this lustful person who just looks at everything with lust. I want to start appreciating things for how beautiful they truly are instead of looking at everything sexually. I will definitely save this video to my playlist and come back to it.

    Once I got in a better place, and let God fight that battle, I noticed that I was definitely avoiding lustful things more. Not fighting it, but having the discernment to not even let myself be lead into those places. This spirit is in no way friendly, it'll disguise itself as "desire" or "normal" but it seeks to draw you further from the Lord. The Lord is strong and so faithful to His word, please leave that fight to Him. The enemy even wants you to think that you are capable of fighting lust alone and will make you believer that you can defeat lust or pull yourself away when ensnared. The enemy has already lost the battle, he cannot have you and if you are watching this video there in itself is the proof, I pray that we all point our ships to the one who commands the storm itself, I pray that we keep in our hearts that our Father is loving and that even when we fall, we must continue to look towards Him. Our Father guides His sheep with such tenderness, not in anger nor frustration, but simply a calm voice of, "Here my child, you have lost your footing. Allow me to help you back on path.". God bless you Maria, thank you so much for sharing all that you do and God bless you all in the collective journey we walk back to Him. Amen

    5:14 yeah I know how you feel, when I turned Christian I also thought of how far I can take it and I fell. I was much freakier than before because of course evil spirits are always around and now since they know you have the power of God within you and his promises they will attack you. You end up letting a lustful spirit come in even when you didn’t wanted to and there is nothing you could do many times because after all you basically asked for it. You didn’t say it, but the evil spirits make you too in a way you don’t notice. It’s tough.
