OVERCOMING YOUTHFUL SEXUAL LUST, (SECOND STAGE)

Working Scripture: Genesis 3:6

Gen 3:6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

From the underlined parts of our working scripture, as we did for the Part 1 of this teaching, let us mention all the 5  categorical processes or stages that Eve went through in eating the forbidden fruit:

1.    She made eye contact with the forbidden fruit and could not take her eyes away from it. {pleasant to the eye).

2.    Her heart desired to have a taste of the fruit (a tree to be desired).

3.    In between, before she took the fruit, she must have planned how to pluck the fruit.

4.    She carried out her heart desire by eating the fruit. She took action (and did eat)

          5. Consequently, she became lost to death (God’s judgement).

For the first stage of lust, we discussed about the eyes of Eve making an ungodly contact with the forbidden fruit and found the fruit pleasant to her eyes. That action of Eve in itself is the lust of the eyes.

But we want to discuss in this part 2 is the step Eve took and that was desiring the fruit in her heart. That is the Lust of the heart - a step graduation from the Lust of the eyes.

SECOND STAGE OF LUST (THE DESIRE STAGE)

Lust at this stage is given by the acronym below.

L        -LONGING for

U       -UNGODLY

S       -SEXUAL

T        -TOUCH

The first stage of lust directly leads to the second stage of lust. In this second stage, your heart plays back whatever images of sexual targets your eyes have captured and desires to see them again or even have a feel or touch.

The major agent at work here is the heart. The heart works like a storage device of a computer which can give you back whatever information you have stored in. At this stage, the heart plays back for you all the pornographic images and sexual targets your eyes have captured and goes a step further by processing them for you. The heart can make you imagine how it will be if you have a real touch or feel of those targets. The desire or passion at this stage can be so intense that the youth may really want to take step to actualize his desires.

Because of this sensitive nature of the heart, the scripture charges us to be cautious our hearts.

Proverb 4: 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Let it be stressed that lustful signals can also be fed into the heart through other agents like the ears and the mouth if you keep hearing sensuous songs and saying sensuous words. Many songs that the youths of today listen to are erotica in content. When you store such into your heart, your heart can play them back for you at will and then fill you with desire to actualize the content. Even many dance steps are erotica and youths expose themselves to such dance steps.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, calls this stage of the lust, ‘adultery of the heart’ and it is a sin just as the lust of the eyes is a sin.

Mathew_5:28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Again, from the above scripture, we can see that the lusting after a woman in the heart begins with looking lustfully at the same woman. In other words, lust of eyes graduates to lust of the heart. Before, Eve might have desired the forbidden fruit in her heart, she derived pleasure in looking at the fruit and that eventually led to her eyes desiring the fruit.

An acted drama posted on the YouTube by The Winlos is uploaded below with this teaching to underscore the gravity of the lust of the heart. The drama showed a young man that was in a terrible state of lust of heart.

What happened in the acted drama above might be similar to what Eve had in her heart before she plucked and ate the forbidden fruit. Genesis 3:6 stated that Eve desired the tree.

Proverb 6:25 emphasizes beauty and eyelids as some of the targets a man can lust after in his heart.

Pro 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Man should wonder less why many women today spend so much on artificial ‘beauty’ and eyelashes. You are counseled not to be victims of these.

If you found out your heart is always desiring to have a touch/taste/test of  any sexual object you are exposed to, please, quickly deal with it or seek help. It is lust of the heart.

This was how Eve was filled with the desire to taste the forbidden fruit.

PRAYERS 
1. Lord, make me of a pure heart in Jesus' name.

2. O Lord, refine my heart with the fire of the Holy Ghost.

3. Lord, Jesus Christ, deliver me from lust of the heart.

4. My Father in heaven, Purge my heart to your standard in Jesus' name.
