Destroy All Lust!


James 1:[12]Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

[13]Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
[14]
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Destroy All Lust

John 8:42-47

[42]Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

[43]Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

[44]Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

[45]And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

[46]Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

[47]He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Romans 1:21-32

[21]Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

[22]Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

[23]And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

[24]Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

[25]Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

[26]For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

[27]And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

[28]And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

[29]Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,[30]Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

[31]Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

[32]Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Romans 6:6-23

[6]Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

[7]For he that is dead is freed from sin.

[8]Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

[9]Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

[10]For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

[11]Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

[12]Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

[13]Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

[14]For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

[15]What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

[16]Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

[17]But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

[18]Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

[19]I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

[20]For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

[21]What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

[22]But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

[23]For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 7:6-7

[6]But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

[7]What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Romans 13:12-14

[12]The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

[13]Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

[14]But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

1 Corinthians 10:5-14

[5]But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

[6]Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

[7]Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

[8]Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

[9]Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

[10]Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

[11]Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

[12]Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

[13]There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

[14]Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

Galatians 5:16-25

[16]This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

[17]For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

[18]But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

[19]Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

[20]Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

[21]Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

[22]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

[23]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

[24]And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

[25]If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 6:7-9,14-16

[7]Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

[8]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

[9]And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

[14]But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

[15]For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

[16]And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

Ephesians 2:1-5

[1]And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

[2]Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

[3]Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

[4]But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

[5]Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Ephesians 4:21-32

[21]If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

[22]That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

[23]And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

[24]And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

[25]Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

[26]Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

[27]Neither give place to the devil.

[28]Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

[29]Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

[30]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

[31]Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

[32]And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Titus 3:3

[3]For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, Serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

James 1:12-16

[12]Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

[13]Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

[14]But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

[15]Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

[16]Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James 4:1-10

[1]From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

[2]Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

[3]Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

[4]Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

[5]Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

[6]But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

[7]Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

[8]Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9]Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10]Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

1 Peter 1:13-19

[13]Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

[14]As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

[15]But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

[16]Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

[17]And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

[18]Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

[19]But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

1 Peter 2:11

[11]Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

1 Peter 4:1-5

[1]Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

[2]That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

[3]For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

[4]Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

[5]Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.

1 Thessalonians 4:2-5,7

[2]For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

[3]For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: [4]That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

[5]Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

[7]For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

2 Timothy 4:1-5

[1]I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

[2]Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

[3]For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

[4]And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

[5]But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Titus 2:11-15

[11]For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

[12]Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

[13]Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

[14]Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

[15]These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

2 Peter 1:2-12

[2]Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

[3]According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

[4]Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

[5]And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

[6]And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

[7]And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

[8]For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[9]But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

[10]Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

[11]For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

[12]Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

1 John 2:14-29

[14]I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

[15]Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

[16]For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

[17]And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

[18]Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

[19]They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

[20]But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

[21]I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

[22]Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

[23]Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

[24]Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

[25]And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

[26]These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

[27]But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

[28]And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. [29]If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Matthew 5:27-30

[27]Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

[28]But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

[29]And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

[30]And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 22:28-30

[28]Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

[29]Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

[30]For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Mark 4:18-19

[18]And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

[19]And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
