Multi-step biblical strategy for overcoming lust: believe 1 Cor 10:13, make no provision for the flesh, remove high-value stumbling blocks, and fight temptation at its earliest stage not its peak

Step 1: Memorize and believe 1 Corinthians 10:13 — you always have the capacity to resist. Step 2: Romans 14 principle — make no provision for the flesh; allowing certain things to remain in your life is deciding to sin before you sin. Step 3: Jesus's teaching about gouging out your eye (Matthew 5) is not literal but means removing high-value things from your life that cause sin. Step 4: Job's covenant with his eyes (Job 31:1) — he refuses to let himself look with lust even when he cannot avoid seeing women. Step 5: Fight temptation when it is small, not when it has become a raging fire; the sense of enslavement comes partly from waiting too long to engage the battle. Also: Reckon the old man dead with Christ per Romans 6. He also references Psalm 101:3 ('I will set no wicked thing before my eyes').
