    Is lust the hardest thing to beat?

    Is lust the most hardest thing to get past?

    depends if it’s an actual addiction or not but in general no

    It's probably the main reason most Christians fall nowadays. It's the biggest obstacle that we face everyday, but we CAN beat it through Christ Jesus our Lord.

    How would you say we can beat it?

    For me, I’d say yes but maybe I’m biased, I got saved in my forties, God helped me overcome my porn addiction, I learnt that lust targets you at your weakest, whether you are tired, stressed out, hung over. It’s been two years now since I’ve cut porn out of my life, and I’ve removed many other aspects such as Tik Tok and Facebook is blocked on my mobile. However, lust is still a problem but it’s taken on a different form now. Today at work for example, I had to help a new starter, she was pretty. I barely looked at her, had no interest in her, yet in half a second, a thought went through my head about getting her number. This might not sound like a big deal but I’m married and when she left, it was a relief and there weren’t any other bad thoughts after that. Sometimes the thoughts might be more explicit, however they have the same thing in common, it lasts half a second and feels like an uninvited thought. If I’m rested and at peace, this makes it easier to resist but if I’m weak, it’s more likely to happen.

    For certain people, a big Yes. Others it could be alcohol, unforgivness, etc. We all battle with something, multiple things. If we continue to saturate ourselves in the word of GOD, trust him and pray. He will always pull help us in our struggles..He is so good to us. Thank you JESUS.
