A couple of years ago I was counseling a young man that I had become close to (in an appropriate, motherly way, of course). We had met for breakfast and he knows how much I love the Lord so he was opening up about some of his personal struggles.
As he was grasping for the words to explain a certain matter to me he just blurted out, “Miss Sheri, I struggle so much with lust!”
Wow.
I didn’t see that coming.
As he continued to tell me how he views women and how his co-workers and non-christian friends encourage this type of behavior, I was silently taking a deep breath and seeking God for the right response.
I began to explain yet again to him how every young lady he lusts after is another man’s wife. Even if she is “The One,” lusting after her is not honoring her as a whole woman. As a woman created in the image of God. As a daughter of the King.
I admonished him, when he saw ANY young lady, to pray:
Lord, help me not to do ANYTHING that would cause that young lady to sin.
And I lift up her future husband and future marriage to you,
that you would bless them and draw them to each other,
and to Yourself,
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Since that conversation I have discovered the following three videos by Dr Doug Weiss. I’ve seen him on several tv programs and YouTube videos and he is very good.
His websites are:
SexAddict.com
DrDougWeiss.com
DrDougWeiss.org
IntimacyAnorexia.com
Doug Weiss on YouTube
In the first video you will be introduced to the idea of the “Holy Hologram.” You may need to listen to this a few times to really “get it.”
Please pray for this young man, and ANY man you know for that matter. Many are struggling, especially in our sex-saturated culture.
