          C.  Let’s consider carefully the habit of lust.

      I.  Lust defined:

          A.  We usually think of lust as having desires of a sexual nature.  Matthew 5:27-28

          B.  Ungers Bible Dictionary:  “Intense longing desires.”  “………. sinful either in being

                directed toward forbidden objects, or in being so violent as to overcome self control

                and to engross the mind with earthly, carnal, and perishable things.”  Adds that lust

                can “be of a sensuous or of a spiritual nature.”  Romans 6:12-13 (833); James 4:4

          C.  Example of spiritual adultery:  Ezekiel 23: (624) 1-4,7,17-18, 30, 35,37-38

          D.  The adultery that James uses is becoming unfaithful to God by becoming involved in

                the sinful elements of the world.  James 4:4   

    II.  Lust practiced

         A.  What causes fight and quarrels?  James 4:1: _________________________________

              _____________________________________________________________________

        C.  These people should have asked God ,but people controlled by ____________ can’t

              pray that way.

        D.  Some asked God, but with the wrong motive.  James 4:3

 III.  Lust controlled

        A.  Must humble ourselves before God.  James 4:6; Proverbs 6:16-17 (489); Proverbs

              16:17-18 (495)

        B.  Must repent.  James 4:8-9, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10

        C.  Must submit to God.  James 4:7,10

        D.  Must resist the devil.  James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:8-9 (897)
