Open Heaven For Teens 3 May 2026 TOPIC: Flee Lust
MEMORISE
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul
1 Peter 2:11
BIBLE READING
1 Corinthians 6:15–20
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
MESSAGE
Lust is an intense desire, and it is a sin L that leads people away from God. It does not develop overnight; it grows from unchecked thoughts and repeated exposure to immoral influences. To be truly free from lust, one must surrender completely to Jesus Christ and flee every appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22).
Anyone who wants to be free from lust must make deliberate efforts. When I gave my life to Christ, I had to let go of habits and friendships that encouraged sinful behaviours. It was not an instant change, but as I stayed committed to the word of God and sought the Lord’s help, I was able to let go of those habits and relationships.
My dear child, if you have friends who lead you into temptation, it is necessary to distance yourself from them. Also, if the media content you are exposed to stirs impure thoughts in you, make a conscious choice to avoid it. Just as lust builds up over time, breaking free from lust involves a gradual but consistent process. Those who want to be completely free from lust must take intentional steps to guard their minds, choose their company wisely, flee tempting situations, and immerse themselves in God’s word at all times.
