  And you are about to get a Holy Ghost-filled download on Godly Hacks today.
• 0:06
  This is a show where God takes something that you've been doing for so long
• 0:10
  wrong, and hacks right in that mess, gets that toxic crap out, and helps you in life.
• 0:15
  So join me today for Bible verses, some laughter, some quick hacks,
• 0:19
  because come on now, you're busy and I'm busy.
• 0:21
  Let's get it with God today. He's going to show you something powerful.
• 0:24
  My name is Lisa Hanson. You can learn more about me on PreachAtLisa.com. Here we go.
• 0:30
  All right, I've got something really serious today, but this is really going
• 0:35
  to change your life because today I am going to talk to you about how to lust-proof your life.
• 0:41
  Come on, you might think, well, I don't know. I kind of like,
• 0:44
  oh, you're going to want to lust-proof how to stay free from sexual sin,
• 0:48
  traps, temptations, and secret sin.
• 0:51
  This is a godly hack. It's a very simple way to guard and protect your life
• 0:56
  from lust, from going after other people that are not your husband or your wife.
• 1:01
  If you're a single Christian, it's a way that you can stop sinning and whatever.
• 1:05
  It's very simple. It's not hard. And let me just start by saying,
• 1:09
  because there's a lot of stuff being exposed, depends on when you're watching
• 1:12
  this, but people are falling like dominoes. But you know something?
• 1:15
  That's nothing new. The devil knows people have desire.
• 1:18
  You know, the sin is conceived the same way. I saw it. I want it.
• 1:22
  I took it. That's what Eve did, right? She saw the apple. She saw it.
• 1:25
  The devil showed it to her, but she saw it. she wanted it and she took it.
• 1:30
  So don't do that. You can't take what's not yours.
• 1:33
  You'll mess up your whole life. You'll mess up your family, your marriage.
• 1:37
  If you're a minister, you'll mess up your ministry.
• 1:39
  And so there's one way, really, I have so many things I want to share and I'm
• 1:44
  going to talk fast as you know, it's a hack. So it's only 15 minutes.
• 1:47
  But the main thing I want to say is the first thing you should say is God, give me a clean heart.
• 1:55
  You know, there's David said that created me, God, a clean heart.
• 1:58
  I've noticed myself, I've become a lot more sensitive lately.
• 2:01
  I've already been sensitive to the word of the Lord, but I'm feeling even more
• 2:05
  so, you know, there's a lot of people on the internet and they're,
• 2:09
  you know, the Muslim religion and stuff.
• 2:11
  I can't stand it. I can't stand it because it's abusive to girls.
• 2:14
  I can't stand it because it's abusive to women. And I was scrolling my TikTok,
• 2:19
  or I'm sorry, my ex, which I wish I wouldn't.
• 2:22
  And there was a little girl, she was 12 and her father was like spanking her
• 2:25
  with something, but he was over in Iran. And I'm telling you,
• 2:28
  I got so furious, but it was like I was sick to my stomach.
• 2:31
  And so you can become really sensitive if you ask God, God, give me a clean heart.
• 2:36
  You know, I said something in preaching, like my upbringing was rough.
• 2:39
  You know, my dad was not cool. He was an alcoholic and I didn't have a lot of
• 2:43
  support as a little girl.
• 2:44
  And sometimes, you know, I've had to deal with feelings of resentment towards parents or whatever.
• 2:49
  And, you know, sometimes in preaching, you kind of let those stories out.
• 2:52
  Well, I've got family that's in my church. And so what do you think happens
• 2:54
  when I kind of say how crappy it was growing up and the family's just looking at me?
• 2:58
  And all of a sudden I got real sensitive. And I felt the Lord say, you need to repent.
• 3:02
  I was like, well, I didn't do anything wrong, but I just wasn't sensitive to them.
• 3:08
  So you can ask God, give me a clean heart.
• 3:12
  So this is how you stay free from sexual traps, temptations,
• 3:16
  and secret sin, all right? I wanna tell you something.
• 3:20
  Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, hey, I'm gonna ruin my marriage,
• 3:23
  my ministry, my destiny.
• 3:25
  It doesn't start in the bed. It starts in the mind. It doesn't start in the
• 3:30
  office with lunches and dinners or in the ministry with someone you're not,
• 3:33
  but it starts in the brain.
• 3:35
  And so you have to watch your mind. Now in the prodigal son,
• 3:40
  it's one of the most powerful stories in the Bible, Luke 15, 17 through 18.
• 3:45
  I wanna share this with you right now. There's a lot of leaders that are falling
• 3:49
  and they're gonna keep falling. As long as they sin, they'll continue to fall.
• 3:53
  But can I tell you in my heart, I know that God, that ministry is important. What is ministry?
• 3:59
  It's helping other people. It's what I'm doing with you today.
• 4:02
  And I noticed, by the way, we've got some listeners in Germany.
• 4:05
  If you happen to be listening to me and you're in Germany, will you send me
• 4:09
  a message on my website, preach at lisa.com and email me? I'd love to hear from you.
• 4:14
  That excites me. But I hope that this is going to help someone with what I'm
• 4:18
  sharing today. But let me tell you something.
• 4:21
  God, if you're a preacher—,
• 4:23
  God loves the ministry. I mean, he loves helping people, but you know what he
• 4:27
  loves more than the ministry? You.
• 4:28
  And so if you're a leader and you fall, he's not trying to get you back up in
• 4:32
  the pulpit right away. That's just something you're trying to do.
• 4:35
  He's trying to heal your heart and help you so you don't do that crap again.
• 4:40
  So in the prodigal son, Luke 15, 17, it said, when he came to himself,
• 4:46
  he said, how many of my dad's hired servants, my fathers have bread enough to
• 4:51
  spare and I perish with hunger.
• 4:53
  I will rise up and go to my father.
• 4:58
  And I will say, father, I have sinned.
• 5:02
  The key phrase, there's two key phrases. One, when he came to himself.
• 5:06
  And two, I have sinned. So we see that sexual sin always starts when you leave yourself.
• 5:12
  You're not thinking about your wife, nothing. It's just like,
• 5:15
  well, I'm gonna go do this.
• 5:17
  But notice when he came to himself, he didn't blame other people.
• 5:21
  He didn't say, Hey dad, if you wouldn't give me all this money,
• 5:23
  I couldn't have done all these bad things.
• 5:25
  He said, I have sinned. He didn't justify it.
• 5:28
  Well, you know, you shouldn't give me the money. Cause I, you know, he said, I have sinned.
• 5:33
  The number one way to keep yourself pure against lust and sexual sin is number one.
• 5:38
  If you know, you've got a lust problem with whatever it is, you need to go to God and say, father.
• 5:44
  I have sent, I need help before it crosses the line. Go to someone, be accountable.
• 5:48
  Go call someone that you're afraid of. Don't call your buddy that's just gonna
• 5:53
  elbow you and say, yeah, me too, dude.
• 5:56
  That's not gonna help. Don't call your girlfriend that's gonna be like,
• 5:58
  hey chick, you know, sometimes, no.
• 6:01
  Go to somebody that would terrify you to tell them. That's how you know you're accountable.
• 6:07
  Accountability is not, I'm telling my buddy. And there's no,
• 6:11
  it's somebody that I am very afraid to tell.
• 6:14
  You know, and I said this story on my other, you can go to YouTube and check
• 6:17
  out my live videos, but I was on YouTube talking about, you know,
• 6:20
  20 plus years ago before I was in ministry, I didn't always live right.
• 6:24
  And I had to tell my pastor, cause I was on the, but I was in the choir and all that stuff.
• 6:28
  And there was a contract, like if you were doing bad stuff, you don't.
• 6:31
  So a lot of people just did bad stuff and never told the pastors.
• 6:34
  Well, I didn't, I couldn't live like that.
• 6:38
  So I went to my pastor and I told her like,
• 6:42
  Hey, you know, I did this thing. It was a sexual thing. I was with someone when
• 6:45
  I shouldn't have been because I didn't grow up in the church. I grew up in the world.
• 6:48
  And again, this was before ministry back in my early twenties.
• 6:52
  And I'm like double that age now, just FYI. And so I told my pastor,
• 6:57
  I'm like, I'm so sorry. Like I shouldn't.
• 6:59
  And guess what? She plucked me right off the platform and three months sitting
• 7:03
  down, which meant everyone knew I screwed up.
• 7:05
  They didn't know what I did, but they all knew I screwed up and I had to sit down.
• 7:08
  Well, guess what? it was very hard for me to tell her that.
• 7:11
  But all I cared about, all that mattered to me was that my heart was right before God.
• 7:18
  I didn't care if they looked at me funny. I didn't care if I was embarrassed.
• 7:23
  I didn't care how ashamed I was to tell her. I just wanted to be free.
• 7:28
  And the way to guard your life from lust and sexual sin is you have to want
• 7:33
  freedom more than you care about your reputation.
• 7:37
  You have to want freedom more than you care about being ashamed to tell somebody.
• 7:42
  My pastor gave me some good advice. I'm going to pass it down to you.
• 7:45
  She said, Lisa, the flesh hates to be humiliated.
• 7:50
  In other words, your flesh, what did Eve do? When Adam and Eve sinned, they did what?
• 7:54
  They hid. Exactly. So when you do something wrong, the first instinct is to
• 7:59
  hide, and that's not going to help you.
• 8:01
  So when in 1 John 1, 9, the Bible tells you what to do if you got a problem.
• 8:07
  If you confess your sin, he's faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you
• 8:12
  of all unrighteousness.
• 8:15
  Or I like to say unrightness.
• 8:17
  That ain't right what you're doing. That doesn't mean you tell everybody.
• 8:20
  It means you go to someone who is high up in God, who you trust,
• 8:24
  who will correct you, hold you accountable and say, hey, I've made a mistake.
• 8:29
  Or, you know, you can, if it's something you did with a church, whatever.
• 8:32
  You can just tell God. But if this is something you know you're going to struggle
• 8:35
  with and you're going to do it again, you need to go to someone and be accountable
• 8:39
  to them and say, look, I'm coming to you because I got a problem with this.
• 8:42
  And anytime I do this again, I'm going to tell you.
• 8:46
  And because you're ashamed to tell them, it'll help you to stop doing it,
• 8:49
  if that makes sense. All right.
• 8:51
  So here is the first godly hack. You got to call this mess what it is.
• 8:58
  God calls it sin. God calls it unrighteousness. You can't justify it.
• 9:03
  I didn't mean to. Nope. If it's lust, if it's a problem, it's a mess.
• 9:06
  You got to get all this unrightness out of you. All right. You got to confess it and get it out.
• 9:11
  Your godly hack number two, flee. Don't fight.
• 9:16
  In 1 Corinthians 6.18, flee fornication.
• 9:21
  Every sin that a man does is without the body, but he that commits fornication
• 9:27
  or sex with someone you're not married to sins against your own body.
• 9:32
  It doesn't say counsel it, wrestle it, negotiate it. Well, you know,
• 9:36
  my husband was an act and rights. No. Well, no.
• 9:40
  And you know, in the Bible and the Old Testament, I know I'm talking fast.
• 9:43
  I hope you guys are okay. I'm a fast talker.
• 9:47
  Just slow it down. If I'm talking too fast for you, just slow the speed down on the thing.
• 9:51
  In the Bible, you know, Joseph was in Potiphar's house and he didn't do anything wrong.
• 9:56
  But when Potiphar's wife tried to grab him, Joseph didn't say,
• 9:58
  man, it's been a long time since I've had sex. I really could, no.
• 10:02
  When that chick grabbed him, he ran right up out of his coat.
• 10:06
  And sadly she kept his coat. He got falsely accused, but he said,
• 10:10
  I'm not gonna sin against God.
• 10:12
  And if you want to abstain lust and sex and all that stuff that's not right,
• 10:17
  It's right when you're married, but it's not right if the other stuff and all
• 10:20
  these preachers are, whatever. I don't even know what they're doing,
• 10:24
  but don't do that stuff. You're going to wreck your whole life, bud.
• 10:28
  Run from it. Run from it. Run from it. Just run. Let me tell you something that
• 10:33
  I don't do as a woman of God and as a preacher.
• 10:36
  I don't talk to men secretly in my inbox. I don't let men call me. I don't let men text me.
• 10:41
  I don't go out to lunch with men. I don't do any of that.
• 10:46
  I'm a pastor, but guess what? If there's a man in my church that has any problems,
• 10:50
  guess who he talks to? My husband.
• 10:52
  I don't talk to him. Not about to talk to him because it's not right.
• 10:57
  I don't want to hear all their problems anyway. I don't really want to hear
• 11:00
  anyone's problems. I'd rather just preach from the pulpit and be done.
• 11:03
  All right. Joseph ran. David stayed on the rooftop.
• 11:08
  That's the difference. Do you want to be a Joseph or do you want to be of David.
• 11:12
  Joseph ran his butt up out of there. David stayed on the rooftop.
• 11:16
  David saw, he saw Bathsheba.
• 11:19
  He wanted Bathsheba and he took her and it wrecked his life and he lost his
• 11:23
  kid. Did God do that to him?
• 11:25
  Nope. But a hand of protection was lifted off of David and that sin came for
• 11:28
  his child. It's horrible.
• 11:30
  So you can be Joseph or you can be David. And if you're a lady,
• 11:34
  pick two people, but you can't be both. So you don't pray harder in the temptation.
• 11:38
  You just got to get out of the room. You don't stay on the rooftop and pray
• 11:43
  harder. You get off the fudging rooftop.
• 11:47
  Run, baby. Run, run, run. Get off. Get out.
• 11:51
  Whatever. Look, if you're at work, and this might be hard for someone to hear,
• 11:55
  but maybe someone's listening, and this is exactly what you need to hear.
• 11:58
  If you're at a job, and you see the same chick every day, and you are feeling
• 12:03
  a huge pull to this woman, and maybe your wife has popped out your three kids
• 12:08
  or whatever, and she doesn't look as hot as this 20-year-old,
• 12:10
  and the 20-year-old's nice to you because your wife knows how crappy you can be sometimes,
• 12:14
  and so she's frustrated with you, and it's just real life, baby.
• 12:17
  It's your house, but this chick is pretty and young and smiling and all that mess, you better run.
• 12:23
  And if you can't, you, you probably need to get a different job.
• 12:27
  And if you can't control yourself, you surely do not be alone with the,
• 12:31
  with the young chick, like a never, a never, never.
• 12:34
  Cause if you don't, let me tell you what's going to happen to you.
• 12:37
  You will end up being with her. You will end up lying to your wife.
• 12:41
  Women always find out. We're not idiots. We will find out. She will find out.
• 12:45
  She'll take half your money. she'll take your kids and then
• 12:48
  there you'll be and that young chick she's not going to want you and you'll
• 12:51
  be some middle-aged dude freaking alone you won't
• 12:54
  have your family you won't have your wife you won't have your money and you'll
• 12:58
  be miserable for for one hot date with a cha-cha because you couldn't control
• 13:02
  yourself so don't be a david be a joseph and run my friend run don't do that
• 13:07
  all right godly hack three there's always an exit whoo this is the best part
• 13:11
  how am I doing on my time? Not so bad.
• 13:13
  Godly hack three, there's an exit. First Corinthians 10, 13.
• 13:17
  There's no temptation taken you, but such as common to man.
• 13:20
  God is faithful with a temptation. He makes a way out. Number one,
• 13:26
  that temptation did not come from God. He's not tempting you.
• 13:29
  Number two, the devil can tempt you, but he cannot make, oh,
• 13:32
  the devil and the devil came after me. Oh, please shut your mouth.
• 13:35
  You, you wanted it. And that's why you're going after it.
• 13:39
  I need to try to be nicer to you. I'm not trying to be rude to you.
• 13:42
  I hope you're still listening to me.
• 13:44
  I'm not trying to be rude to you. I swear I'm not trying to.
• 13:47
  I am trying to rescue your life.
• 13:51
  I am trying to help you. I am trying to protect you.
• 13:55
  I know you think you want that thing, but the end of that thing is death and destruction.
• 14:00
  And if you're a father with children, or maybe you're a mother and you've got
• 14:04
  teenage kids and your husband isn't acting right, you got your eyeball on someone
• 14:08
  else, Baby, your kids are gonna hate you after that.
• 14:12
  Father, your children will hate you after that. Don't do these things.
• 14:15
  It brings nothing but destruction.
• 14:19
  There's no temptation that God doesn't provide a way out.
• 14:22
  There is always a way out. This is why I don't like this whole thing,
• 14:24
  I fell into a lustful sin. No, you didn't. You walked into it.
• 14:27
  If you're dealing with lust, ask God to give you a clean heart.
• 14:30
  Don't keep looking at the thing that causes lust. You gotta run, all right?
• 14:34
  There's always a way out. Delete that phone number. How about don't even take
• 14:37
  the phone number? I don't have any phone numbers for guys trying to hit on me.
• 14:40
  Delete the number. Get off the app. Don't travel alone. Don't DM privately.
• 14:45
  Don't drink yourself loose.
• 14:47
  You know, there's someone I knew once and they worked for this company.
• 14:51
  And I freaking hate these companies sometimes because they always have these
• 14:54
  fun outings and they call them a team building thing.
• 14:58
  And only the employees go. They don't bring the spouses.
• 15:01
  So there's the employees with all these hot chicks from work or hot dudes from
• 15:05
  work or whatever, and they're all drinking and eating and laughing and having fun.
• 15:10
  Well, what do you think is going to happen when your husband or wife is at home
• 15:13
  cleaning the house, doing the dishes, whatever, and you're just out partying
• 15:17
  and having fun with someone of the opposite sex? That's how affairs happen.
• 15:21
  It's stupid. I hate that crap. So don't be drinking around people and get loose.
• 15:26
  That's how bad things happen.
• 15:28
  Starve the lust, feed your spirit. All right, I got to end this real quick,
• 15:32
  but walk in the spirit and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.
• 15:36
  That's what the Bible says in Galatians 5.16.
• 15:39
  You don't overcome lust by thinking about it all the time.
• 15:42
  You overcome lust by feeding your spirit. If you're feeling lustful,
• 15:47
  you've been looking at something too long, you've been listening to something
• 15:49
  too long, you've been hanging with someone too long or whatever,
• 15:52
  you have to overcome lust by feeding your spirit. How do you do that?
• 15:55
  Well, you listen to stuff like
• 15:57
  this. And you're like, crap, this is a warning. You read the word of God.
• 16:01
  The word of God is life to those who find it and health to their flesh. You pray.
• 16:04
  You should fast. I know a lot of preachers tell you not to fast.
• 16:07
  They're idiots. You need to fast because your flesh is out of control.
• 16:10
  And the strongest desire you have is food. And if you can starve your flesh
• 16:14
  and say, no, you're not getting food.
• 16:15
  Then when that flesh is like, I want that guy. I want that guy.
• 16:18
  No, no, you're not getting that. You're not telling me what to do.
• 16:21
  You don't let your body tell you what to do.
• 16:24
  You worship and you have accountability. If you know you've got a problem,
• 16:28
  you better start telling somebody.
• 16:31
  Run from that stuff. All right. Godly hack number five, guard your eyes.
• 16:35
  In the book of Job, Job 311, I made a covenant with my eyes.
• 16:38
  Why then should I think upon a maid?
• 16:43
  He made a covenant with his eyes. Lust comes through the eye gates.
• 16:46
  I want it. I saw it. I want it. I take it. Don't do that.
• 16:53
  Don't browse privately. Don't have secret passwords. Don't be up late at night talking to people.
• 16:59
  Right? We're almost done. Sexual sins are different. 1 Corinthians 6, 19 through 20.
• 17:04
  Know you not that your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, for you are bought with a price.
• 17:09
  Therefore, glorify God in your body and your spirit. Sexual sin is not casual, my friend.
• 17:13
  It's covenant level damage, and it's bad. Why do leaders fall? Why do preachers fall?
• 17:20
  Well, the Bible says in James 1, 14, every man is tempted when he's drawn away
• 17:25
  by his own lust and enticed.
• 17:27
  The devil didn't make you do it. You did because you wanted it.
• 17:30
  So don't do it. It's not an accident. You didn't.
• 17:33
  So how do we lust proof? Let me sum it up. Here's the review.
• 17:37
  I'm going to pray for you.
• 17:38
  Never counsel someone to the opposite sex. If you're in the workplace,
• 17:41
  that means don't sit there and listen to their problems. You don't have any
• 17:43
  business doing that. Don't do that.
• 17:45
  Public settings only. Accountability.
• 17:48
  Transparency. No alcohol to compromise yourself. Protect your travel boundaries.
• 17:53
  Delete temptations immediately.
• 17:55
  Fast regularly. Stay planted in a church.
• 17:58
  That's how you lust proof your life before temptation hits.
• 18:02
  I'm telling you right now that if you will do that, God will bless you.
• 18:06
  God is not shocked by your weakness.
• 18:08
  He is waiting for you to return to him. The Bible says in Psalm 103,
• 18:12
  as far as the East is from the West, he's removed your sin.
• 18:15
  You are not a mistake. God loves you.
• 18:17
  Don't wait until you're in the pig pen to turn around. Lust proof your life
• 18:21
  today. Come on, that guy, the prodigal son was in the pig pen.
• 18:24
  You don't need to roll with the pigs. Come on, let's get out now.
• 18:27
  So if you're listening to me, you know you've got lust in your life.
• 18:30
  You know there's a sin and you know you need to get out of it.
• 18:33
  Let's repent now together.
• 18:35
  Come on, say, Father, forgive me of this lust. I've been flirting with that
• 18:39
  person. God, forgive me. I repent.
• 18:42
  Now, say this, create in me, God, a clean heart.
• 18:46
  Help me to walk right and to do right. I don't want to sin against you or my family in Jesus' name.
• 18:54
  And if you're watching me now, and you don't even know Jesus,
• 18:57
  by some miracle you got this podcast, come on, the first thing you got to do
• 19:00
  to lust-proof your life is put the one in there who can help you.
• 19:03
  The Bible says that it's appointed once for man to die, and after that,
• 19:06
  the judgment, we are all going to die one day and face judgment.
• 19:09
  I don't want you to face judgment. Jesus came to set you free from all this
• 19:13
  mess, but you have to believe that he's the son of God, that he died on a cross
• 19:17
  for you, that he took away your sin. So how do you do that?
• 19:21
  You say this with me. Say, Father, I am sorry.
• 19:25
  I'm a sinner. I made mistakes.
• 19:28
  Jesus, I believe that you are,
• 19:31
  the son of God. Jesus, I'm asking you to be the Lord of my life.
• 19:37
  Come into my heart and be the Lord of my life and change me.
• 19:43
  And if you said that simple prayer, I'm telling you right now that God can change you.
• 19:49
  He can restore you. He can heal you. And he can bless you. Amen.
