Overcoming lust involves not trusting in the flesh but relying on the Bible's guidance. Willpower is limited, leading to disappointment and shame when trying to change independently. Acknowledging the need for the gospel and the Holy Spirit is crucial for true transformation. Walking in the spirit prevents fulfilling the lust of the flesh, emphasizing reliance on the Holy Spirit. Deliverance can lead to feeling invincible, but humility and continued reliance on the Holy Spirit are essential.
