Rated R-Bug Eyes
Pastor Josh Mayo 180 Remix
Now let me premise all I am going to say tonight is that I’m going to be honest…this week and especially next week…if you desire not to hear what I am going to talk about you’re more then welcome to skip out.
Have you ever seen one of those bug zappers…
Why don’t those dumb bugs get a clue…oh…he got zapped…I need to avoid the “blue” light…
Tonight I want to talk about how we many times have bug eyes…What is the blue light that were drawn too…lust…porn…internet junk…sexual relationships…and everything else that you typically don’t hear a church just open up and talk about.
When I say pornography what do you think about…wait…wait…your not supposed to ask that…we’ll let me ask it another way…what is it…?
Pornography Webster’s:
1 : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement
3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction
1 thes 4:3-5 the bible talks about pornography
the bible talks about what!!
Yes porn…
3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain R128 from sexual F42 immorality; 4 that each R129 of you know how to possess F43 his own vessel R130 F44 in sanctification and honor, R131 5 not in lustful R132 F45 passion, like the Gentiles who do R133 not know God;
Eph 4:
The phrase sexual immorality comes from the Greek word Porniea
So God talks about it…Yes…but how does this deal with me…your either a guy or a girl…let me tell you how this usually breaks down.
Guys give themselves pornography
Girls commit Pornography …If you dress and act to excite a man by how you dress…your committing pornography

Tantalize Pornography is all about illusion…
The illusion about intimacy…we all want to love or feel love…
Pornography strips sex of it intimacy
That’s why God tells us not to even have a hint of sexual sin Eph 5:3 …he knows it will tantalize us and that will lead to the second stage…
Plagiarize…he lies to us..
First…let me tell you the truth about yourself…guys…your sons of The King
Girls…your beautiful…
Now that’s the truth…but heres how satan lies and Plagiarizes you: Girls become and dress a certain way because you feel loved and appreciated. That how the enemy lies to you. He trains you to think that for you to feel beautiful about yourself…you have to look, dress, and act in a way that will get guys to notice you like they have. I’m sure that most of you wouldn’t go out of your way to be and dress a certain way if you felt loved and appreciated for who you really are.
Girls…let me tell you now…your beautiful…
Customize…he has a strategy to mess you up with lust…Lust always wants more…its never satisfies
No says…I’m going to be addicted to this stuff…no one says…Im going to let this control and dominate my life…no one says…I dress the way I do…and act the way I act…because I want someone to love me…so whatever it takes…
Vandalize…your going to be embarrassed. Lust…promises a payoff…but pays you back with shame…James 1:15…sin has its kicks…but its kick backs are horrendous. It not only damages you emotionally…it damages you physically.

Realize
Ps 139- 13 For You formed R4369 my inward F1472 parts; You wove R4370 me in my mother's womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, for I F1473 am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful R4371 are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame F1474 R4372 was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, {And} skillfully wrought in the depths R4373 of the earth;
God knows our frame…
How many of you would like to own a truck?
half ton truck … three quarter ton truck…that’s the weight that that’s truck’s frame can hold…God will never give you more then you can hold….and he’ll provide a way of escape…
1Co 10:13 -
No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
God knows your frame and he wants you to realize that he will not allow any load to be put on you that is to heavy for you…and he’ll make a way of escape.
Mobilize God wants you to mobilize by taking action…
Col 3:5 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry.
So how do you put it to death…How do you mobilze and take action against the dark areas within your life? …God is the only one who can take care of lust
1 drag lust into the light
Lust and sexual sin has the most leverage when you keep it secret
“IF I told anyone….the shame…”
Lust has the most power when its in the dark

2 know who you run with…your companions
Prov. 13:20 13:20
He R510 who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.

3 Make an exchange…
Change lies for truth…
What are some lies…
**its no big deal to surf the web…see a couple sites…Job 31…that would be shameful…
**I like to fantasies….to think about things…it doesn’t hurt anyone else…truth…Rom. 8 The mind of a sinful man is death but the mind controlled by the spirit is life and peace
**Don’t be so radical about your action towards lust, how you dress, pornography…Flee the evil desire of youth and pursue righteousness faith love and peace along with those who call on the lord out of a pure heart 2 tim…
**Its my body…I can do what I want to do…Flee from sexual immorality…Your body is the temple…you were bought with the price…
You don’t have the right to look at pornography…God owns you…you don’t
4 Exchange pleasures
The fire of lust’s pleasure is to be fought with God’s pleasures…
Jesus didn’t just die to save us from our sins…he died for us to receive the pleasures of life that he created. |
