i'm actually the same as you are.i'm a woman, have faith yet lustful
i treat it as my ultimate weakness. i believe that we can control our lust.. but it just so happen that the feeling was so different that we tend to always go near the temptations. i know that whenever you're surrounded with temptation, you feel the sexual urge, just like being alone and in the room, to avoid it, engage yourself with different activities and stay with someone you are very shameful if she/he knew that you are lustful, so that you can control the urge as well as yourself in that way

The feelings you express are normal for every human being, Christian or otherwise. Lust is one emotion that is probably stronger than almost any other. Wanting to have sex with someone is probably akin to needing food. It is a natural yearning that God himself put there. The key to not sinning is always be aware of your feelings so that you can take control of them when they do come. Acknowledge them, then put them aside by putting your mind and your eyes on something of greater value. It is only when we concentrate on sinful thoughts of lust that we are sinning. We are all tempted at one time or another so do not feel guilty for the temptation....just do not allow it to take control of your thoughts or actions.

Because we are born with a sinful nature, there is always going to be a battle between sin and goodness. We all have that problem even after we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
After you have accepted Jesus, He gives you the person of the Holy Spirit to help you to do what Jesus has taught.
In 1 John 4:4, John writes, concerning testing spirits. He tells us that God's Spirit, which is in you, is greater that he that is in the world, which is Satan.
Ephesians 6:10-18, Paul tells us, Finally be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of TRUTH, buckled around your waste, with the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the GOSPEL OF PEACE. In addition to all this, take up the shield of FAITH, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helment of SALVATION and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is the WORD OF GOD. And PRAY in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Are you born again in the Spirit of Christ? A new creation? Our flesh is weak and we cannot control ourselves in all areas without the strength of The Lord. We must rid ourselves of our old Adamic nature by denying the flesh of immoral desires and follow Jesus who gives us a new nature in Christ. Say no to flesh and yes to Christ. He will give you the strength you need to turn away from temptations. Also, stay away from the temptations if you can. Pray for strength.

Why are u blaming the devil for your problems? That isn't the right way to go about anything. Accept the fact that YOU gave in. If you did something bad to someone else apologize and if it was to yourself learn from it.

Jesus Christ was tempted in every way but yet with no sin. Temptation comes to every one, but if you have the
Holy Spirit inside of you, you are empowered to resist. The devil can only put thoughts in your mind and can not make you do anything the word of God tells us to bring every thought capitve (2corinthians 10:5).

Bull. No one put a gun to your head. No demon possesed you and took control of your body. There is no devil. You made a choice, in fact a series of choices to position yourself to commit whatever acts or act you think is bad. It didn't happen by accident. You didn't trip and fornicate or whatever it is. You planned it. You tempted yourself. You were somewhere you shouldn't have been with someone you shouldn't have been with in a situation you know perfectly well you should have avoided and you chose to do it anyway because your desire to engage in the act was of more interest to you at least at the moment than your interest in not doing it. You believe it is forbidden, but you don't really truly abhor the behavior or you wouldn't have done it. Don't whine with this childish, "I can't help myself" crap. If you can control yourself to not pee the bed at night, you can control yourself in every other way. Be a man and admit you did it because you wanted to, not because you were overcome by some non-existent magical being.

I take exception to way some religions have drawn the line on lust and feel the ethical paradigm has superseded these antiquated values for many especially the hedonist of the playboy generation.

This is THE scapegoat of the MAN.
I swear!
The "Devil" made me do it.
In...freakin...sane!
You have less control than an atheist!
You'll convince yourself that it was a mistake and that you're "forgiven".
I guess that's a risk you're willing to take.
I'M NOT...I'll just be a good person.
