Taking drastic steps to beat sexual temptation
What is the fourth Bible method of beating sexual temptation?
I would say, “SNAP-FREE”- snap-free, do what it takes to wrench yourself away from the situation of temptation that may come, despite being careful.
When Jesus said "gouge" your eye which "causes you to sin," He advocated the use of drastic steps to check and curb the onslaught of sexual passions (Math 5:28-30). Joseph snapped free from the wife of Potiphar when he came to know about her immoral intentions. He understood Jesus' "gouge-your-eye" message. Chuck Swindoll, the famous American Bible teacher, gives specific instructions when he checks into any hotel to the staff to block all pornographic channels that go into the television in his hotel room (Found at www.ccel.us/Swindoll.chap3.html) He sure understood Jesus' "gouge-your-eye" message. Billy Graham once narrated an incident about how one of his associate evangelists, staying alone in a Paris hotel, locked himself in and threw the key out through the window when the temptation to go out and visit the strip-tease joints in Paris where no one would know him became almost unbearable (I heard this story in a Ravi Zacharias sermon tape). That evangelist, too, understood Jesus' "gouge-your-eye" message. The Bible says that bulls with the habit of goring must be kept penned up (Exodus 21:29). "Believer bulls" who know that they have a special weakness for "sexual goring" should "pen up" themselves with such kinds of special and drastic steps for beating sexual temptations.
Samuel said to all the people of Israel, "If you are really serious about wanting to return to the Lord, get rid of your foreign gods and the images of Ashtoreth…" (I Sam. 7:3). Ashtoreth is the name of the Canaanite goddess of fertility, sexuality, and war (The Nelson Study Bible, page 462). So the images that God wanted his people to destroy were images that were probably sexuality explicit. They certainly look like pornographic images that the people of Israel enjoyed looking at. These had to be destroyed. A doctor, who heard Billy Graham preach in London in 1954, confessed that his waiting room was full of pornographic literature. After surrendering his life to Jesus, "he immediately gathered it up and threw it into the Thames," writes Billy Graham (Just As I am, p. 229.). When you take such drastic steps, you can win over sexual temptation!
