I can just be sitting in a classroom at school and glance at a girl and BAM. sin. im sure you can all relate to me, and i just would like to know how to get rid of those thoughts for good.

It may be that the people who have read the post didn't have any advice worth giveing. Sexual desire is a perfectly natural thing, but having impure thoughts is something we need to avoid. There is also a difference between having a passing thought and dwelling on that thought and making it become a fantasy. All I can say is pray about it, and put a concious effort foreward to stop it...God will forgive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have had trouble with this from time to time myself, and when I go down that path I just try to remind myself that God will bring my guy to me on His own time...and at that time I will be able to have all that I had wanted all those years. Effort brings reward - Don't worry, God has a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an old saying: "You can't stop a bird from flying over your head, but you can keep him from building a nest in your hair." As long as you 'freak out' at every sexual thought, they will continue to plague you. We become what we think about, whether we are thinking positively or negatively about it! Soooooo, learn to just say "Oh, I had a sexual thought; so what?" and move on with life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that the presence of God is with me and this takes me out of the thought real quick. Yet I praise the Lord that you have such a conviction. There are many christians who do consider the impurity of their thoughts. This was me for some time until the Lord convicted and show me the sin in my mind. The Lord did this by showing me something greater....that we are all a holy priesthood and we should be holy in everyway just as our Lord God is Holy. So we must be seperated from the world and santified through Christ Jesus. My mind wanders still but I always know that God's presence is always there with me and impure thoughts make me ashamed in the eyes of my Father. Yet still I am not perfect. The thing to do is to confess always to the Lord. Then you will find grace. Grace and peace to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have struggled with this for years now. It seriosly has me questioning my salvation at times, I know for a fact that I have accepted Jesus, and accepted meaning every fiber of my being, but when I have these terrible thoughts/visions pop in my head, I wonder if I'm being punished for something, or I've watched too many movies and television....I really dont know. My mother always told me garbage in, garbage out, and when I wasn't saved I watched a lot of violent movies, listened to the wrong music, just lived my life of Sin, I wonder if that is affecting me now.
