Lust, Biblical Counseling

But lust is an evil type of passion. It is desiring to satisfy the carnal nature with a compelling, cunning and luring manner. Look at Potipher's wife. "Joseph was handsome in form and appearance...his master's wife cast longing eyes on Joseph and she said, 'lie with me,' but he refused...so it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day" Genesis 39:6-10. Joseph did the right thing, he "fled and ran outside" Genesis 39:12. That is the Lord's instruction to us as well. The Lord says to "flee also youthful lusts" 2 Timothy 2:22. We need to keep away from those who would tempt us like at the bar scene where it is so easy to fall into temptation. "Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed" James 1:14.
