Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm trying my best to stop lusting, but I keep
falling into the sin. How can I stop? My best
advice is don't try, because if you're trying, that means
you're trying to do it yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And since you're trying.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
To do it yourself, you will definitely fail every single time.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
We are human beings at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
But your need to ask the Lord to come and
help you to come out.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Of this lustful situation. You need the Lord now.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
You may not overcome it once, you may not overcome
it one hundred times later, but never give up. But
always ask the Lord to help you, and before you
know what, the Lord will bring you out of this weakness.
But be consistent in asking the Lord. Don't ever give up,
(00:59):
and don't ever say I've tried. I've asked the Lord
one hundred thousand, ten thousand times, ask him a million
and one times.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
But never give up.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
But again, what is causing this situation to happen?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Is it when you are.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Alone at nighttime, by yourself in your room and all
doors closed, then you need to change the environment that
is causing you to fall. You cannot remain in the
same environment that is unhealthy and expect for you to
(01:39):
overcome it. So if being in that room at that
particular time, alone behind closed doors and watching something, get
out of that environment, walk away from it, preoccupy yourself
with something else.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
When a thought comes, just get up, dust.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It off, wash your face with cold water, and then
walk away.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
It's just that moment. The moment you pass, that moment.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You've done something good, and then maybe another few minutes
later it'll come again. Make the water colder, get an
ice block, put it in the tub, and just emerge
yourself and submerge yourself in that cold water, and every
(02:30):
thought is going to disappear. But you need the grace
of God to overcome this weakness. But again, there are
certain conditions that is making this situation possible. Change those situations,
change those conditions. Don't associate yourself with those same conditions,
(02:53):
because more than likely that lustful moment will come because
you are exposing yourself to this same environment over and
over and over and over again. Change the environment. Okay, Amen,
and then be strong. And if you fall, come to
the church, ask the Lord for forgiveness, let the priest
(03:17):
pray for you, and on you go for a confession,
and may the Lord Jesus dissolve your sins. Come and
receive the body and the blood. Be strong. Don't ever
give up. Satan will come when you fall. After you fall,
he will come. And he say, then and then look
at you, your failure.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Look at you. You're ugly.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Do you still think for a moment that Jesus gives
one penny about you?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Man, Just go and kill yourself. I'll say this.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
When Saint Paul says the Church is the body of
Christ Ephesian chapter five, when he says the Church is
the body of Christ, and he comes and says, and
Christ is the head of this body. So is Christ
the head? And who is the Church the body? What
attaches the body to the head the neck? So, biblically speaking,
(04:17):
what does the neck represent faith? How are we attached
to Christ in faith?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But guess what? Did you know?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
The weakest member in your body is the neck.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It is through.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Weakness that we keep attached to Christ, not strength. As
one of the church fathers put it this way, he said,
Satan came and said.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
To God.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
He said, God, leave me the strong people, because I
cannot overcome the weak ones. Leave me the strong people.
Because I cannot overcome the weak ones because you God
only work through the weak, not the strong. So when
(05:11):
you are vulnerable, when you are weak, Christ is your strength,
and this is the only way you're going to overcome
the temptations of Satan.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
When Christ works in you, not you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
When you try, you're saying I'm strong enough to overcome it.
Satan will devour you before we even blink our eyes.
But when you say I'm weak, Lord, I can't do
it anymore, the Lord will come and do it for you.
So if Christ is the head, which he is, and
(05:46):
we are the body, imagine somebody comes and throws me
in the Pacific Ocean. My whole entire body is submerged underwater.
The only thing that is above water is the head.
And then somebody stands at the shores, ridiculing me and
making fun of me and say, look at you.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You will drown.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You're dead, You're finished, You're this, You're dead. I'll say
to that person, sorry, as long as the head is
above water is I live. Let the whole body be
submerged underwater. For as long as the head is above water,
I will always live. Nothing will kill me. Who is
(06:28):
my head? Christ? Where is Christ, And.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
He ascended and sat.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
At the right hand of the Father in the heaven
of all heavens. He is my head, and that's where
I receive my oxygen, my life.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
The body doesn't give me life.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's the head that gives life to the body. So
this head is in the heaven of all heavens. When
any power can put that head underwater, then I can
say I'm dead. For as long as the head is
in the heaven of all heavens, say it in away
with you. For as long as Christ lives, the body
(07:06):
always lives and breathes. So no matter how many times
the body falls, the head will always give oxygen. If
you come back to the head. Don't ever run away
from Christ. Don't ever walk away, no matter how many
times you make mistakes. Come back to the Lord Jesus
and say, Lord, forgive me, help me, break me, make me,
(07:29):
mold me, and shape me. But as long as at
the end I'm with you, Amen, be strong.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Rah. Oh. I can't stand looking at girls. I get weak.
I can't stand looking at a white powder bag. I'll
get weak.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I can't stand when I'll pass a club and I
smell the poker machines and the jackpot.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I get weak. I can't stand.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
When I see a cigarette, I start shivering. I start
Get alive, Rah, get alive. You look at the club
and say.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You know what helps you?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
When you look at a girl, look at her and say,
she's my sister. Would you like anybody to do anything
wrong to your sister?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
She's your sister.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And clubs, clubbings, drugs, alcoholism, gambling, destruction, destruction. You're working
hard and you're burning your money in that machine. What
(09:02):
are you doing? This is hard work. This money should
be given and used wisely. If you are married, you've
got a family, Feed your family, give them a life
they are.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Worthy of, they deserve. Why are you burning it drinking?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I drank and I got drunk and I lost myself.
And then I walk up the second day feeling empty
and miserable.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
No more, No more, No more,
I'm trying my best to stop lusting, but I keep
falling into the sin. How can I stop? My best
advice is don't try, because if you're trying, that means
you're trying to do it yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And since you're trying.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
