OVERCOMING THE CONSUMING FIRE OF LUSTSlide2
LUST
(2 Sam 13:1-20)
Is
a strong feeling or desire
for something and is closely associated with sexual desire.
A purely physical attraction that has
no lasting effect
(an over desire that takes something good, twists it and add cravings to it so that you are consumed with it until you are gratified
)
Where the physical appearance and attributes of one person ignites emotions of intense desire and excitement in another.
An unbridled sexual longing.Slide3
CHARACTERISTICS
Lust deceives its victims with temporary pleasure
(After the passion clears, the person will discover just how much has been lost and the harm that has been caused to themselves or others
)
Lust dissipates when the real person surfaces
(You might find the object of your lust very different in reality than in your fantasies)
You feel uneasy or bored after being with or consuming the object of your lust.
(
The object is only important while it is being enjoyed)
Leads to shallow, superficial relationships
(The sense of lust distorts a “want” into a “need”. Lust distorts your thinking so you ignore the things that really make you happy.)
.Slide4
When a person’s body is far more important to you than his/her soul.
Based on self gratification and has little to do with true feelings for the other person.Lust wants to get, love wants to give.You fall out of lust and not out of love.
