Joe's Celibacy Journal- Sex filled dreams and thoughts

Entry 7-

Remain faithful! That's what I've been telling myself. I have to remain faithful to Christ, to my well-being, and to my word. I told myself that I wasn't going to have sex again until I'm married! I no longer need to be convinced of that, I'm determined to reach my goal, but my, the unconscious part of my mind is not convinced or doesn't want to give up without a fight.My dreams are getting hot and heavy if you know what I mean. Maybe you don't so I will spell it out for you. My dreams are getting more sexually explicit and dangerous. My automatic thoughts are more lustful and suggestive than ever before. Sometimes, my faithful readers, my conversations are even finding a way to become more sexually driven than ever before.So what do I do? I fight and I fight smart! I have to increase my prayer life and dive deep into the Word of God. Although I'm very lazy and consumed with school, the activities I participate at church, and trying to enjoy my life; I can't forget to spend time with God and preparing for battle each day.I've learned just because I declared that I wasn't going to participate in the physical action of sex anymore doesn't mean I can ignore the spiritual battle that is happening not just in the spirit realm, but also in my mind.
