Enough is ENOUGH!

I am **** off. I make no secret of it. I am really really annoyed.
But this is not the anger of the world. This is not an anger where I throw things around and swear a lot. This is a righteous fury against a demonic spirit.
This spirit is called Lust.
In the past 48 hours. I have learnt of two of my friends who have lost their virginity. (One is 'technically' still a virgin. But that's besides the point.)
That makes 4 this year, the other two, if you pushed it, can be classified as being raped by their boyfriends. They were either forced into it or manipulated into it.
Lust is something every human struggles with. For those that tell me you don't, quit your lying, it's pathetic and it insults my intelligence. Sooner you admit it the sooner you can ram your fist down its throat and tear out its windpipe.
Words cannot express the emotions I feel. I have never felt such passion or indignation before. Me, my friends and my loved ones are under this rotten things grasp! I have had enough. I am drawing the line NOW. I am readying myself for war, no prisoners will be taken, no questions will be asked, no mercy will be shown. I want this thing erradicated with extreme prejudice
However, I have seen first hand the effects of misplaced Passion and jumping in with both feet only to find you're standing above acid. I want to act now, but I won't. I am not the Lord of Battle. I am not the Lord of Hosts. I move when He says so and not before. I act in the way He commands and in no other.
Quite frankly, if I do this alone, it'll probably kill me in a true and literal sense. I need your help. Entering battle is dangerous, entering battle alone against such a powerful entity is suicide. Some kind of organisation is needed and major prayer coverage is required. So I'm asking your help. Pray with me and fight by my side.
I am praying for every one of you, for all my friends both on and offline. As many as I can name, if I don't know your name, then your screenname.
Enough is enough. This swine has crept into churches, snuck into relationships, reasoned its way into lives. All of the above it has destroyed. I think lust is almost as devious as the spirit of lies and deception. Which makes it a very dangerous foe.
It has destroyed too much and needs to be stopped. If it is removed from one persons life then that is a victory, a first step in it's true erradication
I am breaking every rule my nature has created in my 22 years of life by doing this. I am exposing myself to everyone now in asking for your help. I need prayer. This all needs prayer. Without prayer it will die. Please help.

don't be so angry... I've made the mistakes that these individuals made. Don't worry, when their sin catches up with them, that will be punishment enough.
But are they saved?

Yes they are.
This is not anger or rage. this is a righteous anger at injustice. I'm not seeking destruction, I'm seeking these people's freedom.

I agree with you Skynes. The thing to do is to pray, I feel for your friends and how much pain they went through.
I am also disgusted how lust seems to be the main interest in everything these days.
But remember, those people who do sin and lust are against the Lord and it will be the Lord Christ, our Yihoshua who will give them eternal punishment for their evil, lustful actions. I also pray that whoever is doing this will STOP and STOP going into churches, the sanctuary, the Holy place of God, to go pick up girls and disrespect them in the eyes of our Yihoshua. God help them, if not, may they know their punishment, for they have brought it upon themselves.
You and your friends are in my prayers Skyne, don't forget that.
Lots of Love and God bless,
CephasVII

While lust is a horrible, damaging, lasting sin....and you have every right to be mad at how it has affected your loved ones...it's not the end of the world.
I'm not saying it isn't a big deal, because it is. But oftentimes young Christians (esp teenagers) treat the loss of virginity as The Most Horrible Sin Ever, and put so much emphasis on it that they kill other people's faith with guilt and sorrow (and obviously someone with those problems have major spiritual struggles to begin with).
While it also makes me sad and angry to hear about this (I know the destructive effects from experience) I hope that everyone reading this topic will realize that it will not help anyone to come down on your friends with all the fury of hell. A large portion of it is biological as well, and difficult to keep under complete control. Not to mention (especially in the case of females) many are manipulated or threatened by someone they love and trust, which is not at all fair. Also, the lust may be one-sided...perhaps one party is intent on staying pure, while the other one has no self-control and constantly pushes the other to their breaking point.
What you want them to realize is not that they're evil slutty dirty people who God is disgusted with...but that their actions are only hurting THEMSELVES.

If you think I'm annoyed at them or anything I'm not. I know it's not the end of the world, I have no intention of dropping fires of hell on them nor do I have any intention of condemning them at all. God forgive me if I ever harm anyone's faith with my actions. I've spoken to them with all the love and compassion I can muster.
My problem is with the spirit of lust which runs rampant in our lives, our relationships and our churches and noone raises a finger to stop it. It manipulates left, right and centre, and it is allowed to.
I'm well aware of all the different circumstances this can happen, I'm well aware of the biological, social and cultural connections. But that is no excuse to not pray against it.
I'm not asking for anything but prayer here. Prayer for them that this doesn't knock them away from God, prayer that they don't get sucked into it, prayer that any demonic force maniuplates this is bound up and cast away, prayer for me cause I'm gonna get attacked for all this. Thats all.

I heed this battle cry for tonight I'm dying inside and this spirit is torturing me. There is no condemnation needed, as it is, the pain from self-condemnation is unbearable.
Let's pray for God to help us overcome depression, loneliness, self-pity, disappointment and sorrow that plays significant roles in weakening us to the temptation. God forgive and comfort those who hate themselves for being trapped and for being weak. Liberate us. We are helpless and just can't do it by ourselves.

Prayer is needed. I agree with Mave.

I too, have faced this (not me..) but I have many friends who have done this..and it is sickening..
Last week I attended a Girl's Retreat called S.HIN.E (seek Him in Everything) and the topic was "Amazing Love" I learned so much from this!
There is a lot of things, besides the spirtual sins these peopel commit, but do they ever stop and think about the physical problems? Not many do..
I learned so many statistics and this might be a bit mature...but I will be as vauge as possible...
A woman is 4x more likely to get an STD than to have a child..and isn't THAT what most teens are worried about?
Ok that is done.. lol.. (sorry mods if you don't want that there I will take it out)
ANYWAY..the way our country is going.. I FEAR for the prosterity!
Dear God, In your name, I pray for our nation! I pray for our citezens! That we will WAKE up! We need you to impress on so many hearts tonight father. Our nation and the world is heading down a dangerous highway...and I fear a major pileup of consequences (ie. a wreck) if people won't wake up!
Help US father as those who are called to take up their arms against this do so in your name. Father let us raise awareness about how disrupting and dangerous Lust is!
In you HOLY name..

Skynes, I'm in complete and total agreement with you. It's a war and we can't sit passively and leave ourselves unguarded. The battle must be approached with a head on defiance of this evil and a complete reliance on God. I've been praying about this matter recently and this stuff is tearing people apart. I'm praying for you and for me and for our brothers and sisters in the fight.
Silent Hunter
Agreed

i agree with you 100%
like you said we have to ram are hands down its throat and rip its lungs
out!
although we must love sinners as we have sinned as well, and Christ commands are love towards them
He also calls us to hate sin
GOD hates sin far more than we ever could
we should pray to GOD to help us hate sin more
as long as we dont hate the sinners
(not saying you were talking about hating sinners,i understood your post soley focusing on rightousse anger and hatred against sin not the sinner)
ive prayed and GOD Willing ill keep it up
and were fighting it together and Jesus already won the war anyways
GOD bless brother

All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to Jesus. He came to set the captives free. I want all those held in bondage to this to be free.
Free from the condemnation
Free from the attacks.
Have the strength to say No to this temptation.
You're prayers and support really mean a lot to me. Thanks.

Skynes, you have every right to be angry. I too hate lust and often struggle with it. My dad fell to lust and it tore my family apart. And we're still recovering from it. Thank you for the prayers. You have no idea how much that means to me.

Thank you for your post, Skynes. It is encouraging to me to read of the righteous anger and the fire that is in you for this cause. May God place this kind of compassion and fire in more of us; compassion to love those who are struggling and have failed, and fire to be angry with sin.

I'm disgusted by the sin of fornication.
Of all the sins ( besides blasphemy) this one disgusts me the most!
I pray for the LORD to get them convicted, to return them to the right path...
in Jesus' name...
OK, so I'm off praying!

Do me a favour you guys and pray for me. Standing in the gap hurts like hell and right now I feel like a skewered sardine over a spit. I'm getting knocked about quite badly and I can't stand alone.

Have your friends realize that having sex will just make it worse for them in the future. Sure it will feel good at first, but it just keeps their expectations lower for sex when it DOES have meaning. (I pointed this out on me other thread)

Easier said than done. Lust is tricky and deceptive, at the time it seems like the best idea in the world. From the outside looking in you can see how it's a dumb idea and it'll mess with your head. But when you're in that situation, it's very easy to mess up.

Hey skynes I agree with you wholeheartdely bro *smile
My sister had her first kid at 17 and i had to help take care of my nephew for a good part of a year after the father passed away in an accident *he was drunk at the time*.
My fiancee and I have also been tempted by this foul thing but by the grace of God and the strength of God we haven't abated and agree to be pure until marriage. So prayers for that too would be appreciated.
Unfortunately our society doesn't see sex before marriage as a bad thing or even as uncommon..*sigh* however, God does and God's strength is sufficient. *hugs
God bless ^^

I agree Skynes, lust is one thing that every teens go through nowadays, tsk, i've been through fornication, and sometimes still struggling with it at times, all I could say that we are already living in the "end times," the time when people will be lovers of themselves and not God, and the best thing we could do is help each other by praying for each other, thanks for sharing that dude. God bless you, will pray for you and your request.

Life is a bit odd...
I'm being attacked left right and centre. If it gets no response with one attack it switches and tries something else.
I'm guessing that if I've (somehow) succesfully kicked it out of my life, it's desparately banging every door and window it can to get back in.

YOU cannot beat Lust. It's a sin of the flesh, and we are flesh, so it will always exist until the Lord returns.

Destroyer is right, it will always exist as long as we fight it and keep it from our tempting hearts. Keep praying and always let God help to deal with it.

Of course it will always exist. That doesn't stop me doing my best and strongest to erradicate it from my life though. And it doesn't stop me trying to help others remove it from their lives also.
