Walk to Freedom – Living a Lust Free Lifestyle Exemplo

Others

Years ago, the Salvation Army was in the midst of a financial crisis. Pressured by those around him to rally financial support, William Booth sent a letter. He chose to write only one word: “Others.”

In the battle of lust it becomes very easy to get focused only on your own battle. When this happens, you tend to only pray for your purity, victory, freedom, and deliverance. I want to challenge you to another option: others.

Take time every day to pray for those you personally know who are struggling. Pray for the People in your church, city, state, nation, and the world. Cry out to God for their eyes to be opened, hearts to be healed, revelations to be given, relationships to be mended, and freedom to walk in love and in the Spirit.

As you begin to intercede something amazing will happen. Your heart will open to others. Your prayers and life become a little less about you. Removing selfishness can help you walk in a more lust-free life. God can use you to move in people’s lives around the world. You can be an agent of change. Not just for you, but for others.

Walk to Freedom

1. In the past, have you found your prayer mostly focused on your own battles?

2. What do you think about praying and interceding for others in this battle?

3. What do you think would happen in your church, city, and nation if men struggling with lust all began to intercede for others?

4. How often would you like to practice this principle in your life?
