how can one overcome fornication

Hello, have you tried praying? You might set a goal and outline all of what you've tried and what all you haven't tried yet in order to avoid this temptation.

Consider this verse:

Matthew 5:27-30

Pretty powerful- to me that means to absolutely everything imagineable to avoid sin even if it means cutting off a body part. In verse 30 it says that the stakes are high. I tend to believe the Bible in verse 30 over what some people claim that they're saved and can do whatever sin they want with no consequence. I trust God's word over man's ideas.

So, this means do absolutely anything and everything possible to avoid it. I would think that would mean ending toxic friendships, moving, changing jobs, and put your max effort into avoiding such sin and temptation. I think this point can't be emphasized enough and the warning that Jesus gave us is: Matthew 7:21. We actually have freewill to choose whether to sin or not and God always provides a way out: 1 Corinthians 10:13, so there is no valid excuse. God bless.

Don't do it . U have a choice . If your urges r getting the better of u perhaps it's time to look for a Christian wife or husband if u r a woman . Sexuality is a normal part of being human . Find yourself a suitable spouse whom u can love and cherish and who feels the same way as u do , get married and b good to each other in Christ .
