How do we flee ourself from sexual sin.

 Sexual temptations starts when we are tempted by things that are pleasing to the eyes. The sexual object will register in our retina and if it is a sexual object of the opposite sex, we will be lustful of the flesh and in accordance if our eyes are lustful for sexual object we will be lustful of the eye. The bible also warned us not to be tempted for things that we usually have pride in life leading to covetness and lustful desire due to appealing to our senses and greed in the heart. 

1 John 2 proclaim, "Avoid lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life." 

To avoid temptations we must flee from temptations and not fight temptations. Many strong Prophet such as Samson, David and Solomon try to fight temptations and yet they failed, what about us who are much weaker than them, will be able to fight temptations. Therefore, We must flee from temptations.

When we are tempted, the flesh especially the heart will be tempted and we will then approach to take the forbidden fruit and if we touch the forbidden fruit and we taste the fruit, sin is commited. When sin is comitted it will surely leads to death or what is known as downward spiral from the blessing of God.

Samson's fornication with Delilah and David's adulterous with Basheba leads to sin and sin leads to murder and death in the spirit.

What is the use of owning the whole world but lose God in the process? 

Therefore, to avoid sexual sin, we must be like Job that have covenant with his eyes that he will not look even at his own maid as temptations enters through the eyes into our heart and remember that our body is the temple of the holy spirit. Thetefore, we must not comitt sexual sin as we will be sinning again our inner body not like other sin which is external to the body.

We must always be guided with discernment from the holy spirit. So, that we can grow in the fruits and gifts of the holy spirit. 

May God bless you always. 

John 3:16 proclaim so well, 

"God so loves the world that he let his only begotten son to die for our sin that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God loves us my friend.

Moral of the story: The eyes is the window of the heart and the wiseman's eyes is in his head.
