How To Shield Yourself From Satan’s Arrows of Sexual Enticement

Numbers 31:15-16

15 Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive? 16 These caused the children of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to act unfaithfully against the Lord concerning the thing of Peor, and there was a plague among the assembly of the Lord.

The thing that happened at Peor:

Numbers 25:1-3

While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. 2 They called the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 Israel joined himself to the Baal of Peor, and the anger of the Lord was inflamed against Israel.

The enemy’s formidable weapon against men are enchanting women to entice you into adultery. According to Ephesians 6:10-18, demons are behind these women, they not being aware are being used to cause Jesus’ followers to sin against Him.    

We men must keep our eyes pure because that is the entry way into our souls. This is Satan’s primary attack for entrance. How do we protect our eyes from letting darkness creep in? 

• Don’t watch anything that has women wearing almost nothing as to entice your minds.
• Don’t read anything in WordPress that’s sexual in nature because your mind have eyes as well and will convert the sexual words into images.
• Don’t look at porn magazines which is a landmine, throw it away immediately.

Job who was a righteous man knew Satan’s entry way into his life and what did Job do to combat that temptation?

Job 31:1

“I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a young woman?

Luke 11:34-25

34 The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore lest the light which is in you is darkness.
