Okay so here is my situation.
I absolutely 100% am waiting for marriage. Meaning no dating, no masturbation, no nothing.... except, I struggle with lust.
I have long been a masturbator, and when I got converted I cut down, but never fully stopped. I stopped off and on for periods of months or weeks, and the last time I did it was 6 days ago. But the problem is that the Holy Spirit has convicted me it is sin, and everytime I do it I pretty much agree that I am going to hell for certain. I pray and cry, and ask for forgiveness. Then I quit doing it, but every day the lust comes and it comes strong. Masturbation is just so attractive to me, because I can look at any woman I want, and feel pleasure. But it's so dangerous and sinful, and I can't call myself a Christian if I do it.
So now I just need help staying away. The Bible says to walk and live by the spirit, but it's so hard when my mind is full of lust!
Is this a demon? Can it be exorcised?
Or am I just not a Christian? I know that is a ridiculous question, of course I am, but why am I so lustful?
