When we don't think right our minds become distorted. Our reality becomes based on what we feel instead of on God's Word. Example: Jonny wants to quit porn but he is content to keep his covetous materialism raging at full strength. The problem with that is... his other sin is keeping darkness in his life. It is likely killing the joy that a committed relationship with Jesus brings. So now he is chasing fun through his materialism, never finding satisfaction, and fighting lust in that condition is really hard. I have mentioned studying the verses for quitting for fighting porn temptation. But it is best to focus on God's Word in all areas. Know what sin is killing you What other sin do you struggle with? Pick one to work on this week in addition to lust. Simply do a Google search: Verses about materialism, or lying, or drinking – fill in the blank ______ with what you want to work on. Open Bible almost always has a list of verses for any sin. Now study these verses and start to change your reality to what God wants, instead of what you think you want. Print out 10 or 15 of the verses. Study them, pray over them, meditate on them. Fight any sins that plague you in this manner until your life is filled with light. Lastly, study a list of verses about being filled with God's love. This also brings light into your life. Key Point: The more you fill your life with Light, the easier it becomes to fight addiction.
