Lust is one of the negative vices young people BATTLE with and become so rampant. it can be defined as the imaginary rehearsal of sexual sinful behavior. Something that going on in your imaginations and may eventually become an action. Matt 5:27-28 lusts begin from your heart and to lust is a sin (sin). Without a doubt lust is like a fragrance in the air of the society giving birth to rampant fornication and adultery. Lust for an individual especially "teenagers" in this present age may seem as normal if not regular feeling, and it leads the various kind of sin yet it comes with great punishment and negative effect on one's life.

1. Spiritual deafness: lust is a sin and it is condemned in the bible if one continues in it., he is blocked from the grace of God and his prayers hindered Isaiah59. God does not speak to a polluted heart .

2. Sexual immorality: the sin that polluted Gods temple (your body) 1 cor 3;16-17, end of lust is sexual immorality, God will destroy those who polluted his temple. When uncontrolled leads to Satan imprisonment by addiction to sex.

#HOW_TO_OVERCOME_LUST

1. You must be born again!-Accepting Jesus s your lord and saviour and telling him to come into your heart for a change is always the first step to overcoming.

2. Avoid and abstain-An adage says "the piece of meat you forbid don't cut with your teeth....." avoid things that will increase or make you lust., e.g magazines, movies with sex scene, porn and even friends who indulge in such act.., locking up yourself for a while if necessary..... But you must abstain.

3 always memorize your bible something has to fill your head so there be no space for lustful thoughts read Ephesians 4;27 "don't give the devil a chance" James 1;14-15 "your desire gives birth to sin and when fully grown leads to death!" don’t let it grow! 1peter 5;8-11..., "be at alert for the devil rams about like a roaring lion looking for who to devour......" the question is will you be that person?.,

Finally Hebrew 4;15-16. God is ready to accept a broken and repentant heart... He cannot reject that broken heart crying for change....

4. Pray always-Christ said "watch and pray always that ye may not fall into temptation" and when you pray, do it with 1john 5;18 "we know that none of the children of God keeps on sinning, for the son of God keeps them safe , abi the evil one annoy harm them....

 In the name of Jesus Christ that is above every other name let every spirit of lust over your life be cast out......... Amen
