Lust is like a dog, if you feed it, it will stay alive, if you don’t, it won’t. So here are some ways to kill lust. In my own experience, these have worked for me and I know they can work for you.

1. Make the decision to overcome lust and fornication.
2. Confess you have a problem.
3. Acknowledge and agree with God that this is wrong and repent
4. Pray to God for his power, through the holy spirit, to overcome this sin. You cannot overcome sin without God (John 15:5)
5. Cut off all sensual and sexual media out of your life: movies, comic books, novels, articles, blogs, jokes, TV shows, especially porn (duh), sensual poetry, and music.
6. Stay away from fornicators, whether they be men or women, Christian or not. Don’t even eat with them (1 Cor 5:11,13 CEV). Break off all sexual relationships with people you’re not married to, including “cyber relationships”.
7. When you go out in public, rather than staring at a woman’s body, look at her face, or keep your eyes on something else. If you need to, for a season, don’t go to the mall, or those places that cause your mind to wander.
8. Fast from food for a period of time to starve the flesh’s ability to lust.
9. Rebuke the spirit (demon) of lust in the fasting period, telling it to “Get out and return no more, in the name of Jesus!”
10. If you know this is a season where you are to be single, stop thinking about a wife. Don’t fantasize and daydream about your future spouse, if it leads you to lust.
11. Meditate on the scriptures throughout this article series instead of thinking about women.

I say that lust is part of the problem because there are often other issues like loneliness, discontentment, generational curses, depression, emptiness, no purpose, no identity and abuse that lead men to use sex, porn or masturbation as a way of dealing with their deeper issues. As you overcome fornication, ask the Lord what the root issue is, and he will work it out. Only with the Lord’s help can you be entirely free. Also know that he was also tempted in these areas, so he understands us
