How can I overcome lust.

Hello I’m a 14 yr old Male and I’ve struggling with lust for a while and I’m trying to break it. I’ve heard to break lust i need to walk in the spirit and not fulfill the desires of my flesh. How do i do that? I’d really appreciate it if you guys could share your thoughts and advice for me. Thanks!

I just want to make it clear I’m not watching corn or anything . Just need to be more focused on God Than looking at Girls and stuff

I have considered it carefully, studied it thoroughly, and believe that it is insignificant in God's eyes.

If it was a problem for him he would have said something.

Mathew 5:27-28.  🤷 if only He said something 😂

Mathew 5:27-28.

Does not say, nor imply anything about masturbation.

So your twist this time is that masturbation isn’t a lustful activity?

According to the Greek word that is translated "lust," it could possibly be, but in the majority of cases, not.

I can’t imagine working this hard to twist the scriptures to try and convince an individual that the conviction they’re  feeing isn’t “biblical”. It’s sad really.

Yes. It is sad to make stuff up and claim it is God saying it.

If you don't like masturbation then stop doing it yourself. Don't lie and tell others that God says so.

Strawman, typical.  

Agreed.  The Bible doesn’t speak on abortion directly either. So by your logic it’s fine right?  Give it a rest.

I didn’t figure you would acknowledge your own failed logic.  Doesn’t fit into your inflated self righteousness does it? 

I better stop?  You can just twist and manipulate your way out of it right?
