I’m curious, what is your angle? It’s like you seem to agree with the Bible, but question the source. What demons do you face that you feel you have no power and authority over? All sin is in the flesh. It’s really that simple. We all have to choose which master we will serve, either God or flesh. Man is flesh and spirit. Which ever part you feed, grows stronger. If you CHOOSE to eat what you crave, drink what you crave and view what you crave, then you are feeding the flesh. The flesh is never satisfied. For chemical reasons that I could explain, the more excitement you get, the harder it is to reach again, so it causes a very serious addiction to pleasure. Surpassing the natural consumption of the basic programmed needs for survival (food especially glucose, sex and acceptance) we create an addiction feedback loop. Refined sugar, pornography and social media have perfectly fed these “needs” in abundance to the point where they control us (serving the flesh). God created the system for survival. In nature animals eat when they’re hungry, mate when the cues for reproduction are evident (smells) and belong in groups. This is why they stay on course with their God planned design. They kill to eat, not murder for greed. They mate for reproduction, not entertainment and don’t spend countless hours trying to get “likes” and followers on social media. They serve God by keeping nature balanced. When we take a dog and teach him right from wrong, he is eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The consequence is that he no longer fulfills his intended design. That’s what makes him gluttonous and attention starved. Subsequently he no longer feels the programming of his DNA to serve God, to help control weak populations of other animals. Instead if barks or runs after another animal he is reprimanded. This new programming causes guilt. Because from birth he was trained, he “was born into sin”. Because we are part of this society that teaches us to stockpile wealth, lust after every woman in a short skirt and have large groups of friends we too are born into sin. The programming of God is muted. When we starve the flesh long enough, it returns to baseline. The lack of guilt opens up a frequency atuned to the Holy Spirit where we can once again hear God, to serve Him. Renewing of the mind.
You don’t have to sin when you’re tempted. However most wont sin unless they’re tempted. It’s basically saying, “Lead my path around ways that may tempt me.” So if you struggle with an overactive libido, make sure the only job offer isn’t at a place highly populated with sexy people. Understand that languages when translated don’t always follow the same grammatical patterns as English. It doesn’t mean God was intentionally going to guide us through paths that trip us. It was just asking for His mercy to intentionally clear the path we are walking on.
