All sin and impurity have to flee when confronted with the Sword which is the Word of God. Here is a list of powerful verses that can be used as a weapon when we are tempted to impure thoughts. We come to peaceful, joyous freedom and rest when we become free from that. (2 Corinthians 10:5) That means that we should be in control of our thoughts, not the other way around.

Not that our natural attraction to people is completely wiped out, but that we are not slaves to impurity, in thought or in deed. But that doesn’t mean that we have to remain that way!
