Struggling with lust

[LittleTuneAlright]

Hey peeps,
Please pray for my soul...
I am struggling with lust for a someone and its overwhelming. please dont judge me, I am already feeling raw and helpless...
I am not in any relationship with this man, we do not contact each other, but I had been having sexual dreams and I have at least stopped dreaming now, and actively shut off that part of my subconscious, I no longer remember them, but the lustful thoughts pop in my mind everyday..its like the devil has a hold on my mind and snuck in through the back door.... I hate it. it been happening for about 5 weeks since we fell out, and I was too ashamed to mention it, and I will not ever contact this person because not only is he married, but is a pastor. I feel so ashamed.
its also not me, I am so averse to married people...I just want to be free of it. and I feel stupid for even thinking women can be friends with men( many times I have male friends and not lusted after them)
I think trauma has played a huge part in this, because he was quite manipulative at one point,
please pray I get out of this, I am feeling helpless but I am praying and turning my mind to overcome it. its hard but please pray for deliverance from this.

Thanks.

I’m praying for you.

Don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re single, you’re lonely, and you have sexual desires. It’s normal. Believe me, we men have to deal with it ALL the time.

Blessings LittleTuneAlright. One of the enemies devices he uses against us, is the spirit of lust. He sends one of soldiers to sneak in close to us and unless you have the gift of discernment of spirits you will not know it. What starts out as small attraction(temptation) within, magnifies into a burning. And what a burning it is. And there you are ready for sin. Those who are truly born from above have The Power and Authority of The Lord with The Holy Spirit within them. The next time this happens ,and it will, when it gets at it's worst, with faith speak these words out loud, "The Lord rebukes you, The Lord Jesus rebukes you!. Little by little this mountain will turn back into a mole hill as the source is forced to leave in Jesus Name.

Littletune,
Your honestly here is respected. That could not have been easy.
My advice to you is every single time the thought or feelings come ,go straight to the throne and confess it and ask for help and- You will receive help!. Don't give up.
If you do that I can tell you that will please the Lord. Bring Him your sins and weaknesses. He provides the escape and gives peace.
I will be praying for you also.

I have prayed for @LittleTuneAlright and I promise I will continue to do so. She’s already repented of desiring a married man, and if she asks me to explain why I don’t think it’s necessary to wallow in shame, I would be happy to elaborate.

This is not so much for the OP, as it was years ago, but:

Even the disgraced, live a pleasant life, in the Lord (selah)

Please pray for my soul...

Why don't you call it for what it is - SIN ?

Have you asked the Lord to forgive you for this sin and have you turned away from it?

You don't need prayer, you need to act of God's instructions in His Word and admit it and quit it.

Also you should learn about spiritual warfare and cast the devil out of your thinking and learn to speak God's promises of deliverance out loud while praising the Lord that He is great and His Word is true and powerful.

To learn more, go read about what Jesus did when the devil came to Him trying to tempt Him to so sinful things.

Interesting response there Dash,
Which brings James 1;4-5 kjv to mind.
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. “Desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”

Yes it's temptation that I am under. And now I can start to see it as more and more annoying each day...like a tick thats under my skin.
And reminiscing of our once happy pleasant friendship is what starts it off, which so I am to now look at as toxic. Because he was toxic.

Sometimes my mind bypasses all the worst parts in favour of the good, because I was using Philippians 4; 8

whatsoever things are lovely, think on these things.

I love the Light, Glory be to God

Amen
