Lust A combat guide
Recognize that you are under a spiritual attack of lust Where are these thoughts coming from, If not from you certainly not of God then the evil spirit has taken over.
Question: What is Lust and why is it a sin, after all I’m not hurting anyone?
Answer: “I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Sprit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want.” Galatians 5:16-17
Reading, meditating on, and memorizing scripture will assist you in redirecting your thoughts and desires.”
1-Praise the Lord my Soul: 5-5 who satisfies your desire’s¬¬ with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. Psalm 103:1&5
Spiritual Tools:
Pray to your guardian angel
Pray the St. Michael the Archangel Prayer
Use your Sacramentals
Holy water, blessed crucifixes, blessed St. Benedict medals.
If lust is your problem, I would wear a St. Benedict medal 24 x 7. “St. Benedict was known to get naked and jump into a wild rose bush to relieve the lustful thoughts”! – Yep that would do it for me.
What of the 7 Deadly Sins is Lust? The 3rd Deadly sin is Lust, impurity, luxuria operated by the evil one Asmodeus whom is the demon of lust and is considered responsible for twisting people’s sexual desires.
“I ask everyone … to recite it [the St. Michael prayer] to obtain help in the battle against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world — Blessed John Paul II, Aug 24, 1994

After reading this article, I noted “The topic of sex, for better or for worse, absolutely dominates many a conversation..”. Indeed, as my friends would always notice and say all adult human conversation always almost ends up with three main topics: sex, religion, and politics. 🙂
“The topic of sex, for better or for worse, absolutely dominates many a conversation…” As my friends used to say, all conversational topic end up with three things: sex, religion, and politics. What do you say!
It is true that it is a child’s nature to call “Mama!” when fearing something, even the most trivial. This must also be our default “call”, to dart out at least one “Hail Mary..” for every minute temptation we encounter, especially lust.
Great article here!
Well…as a Mom, I am constantly confronted with the power of the world luring my little one to her death. All I can do is pray…hard and be watchful!
Wow. As a male, I totally relate to this.
Since lust is so powerful and deceptive, we must first admit that we have a problem. That’s why it took me years to finally deal with it.
Incredible article! Thanks.
