we are back in the office today and it looks like everything has worked out for the better. Things with my Co worker and our boss are still interesting but it seems I have been set free spiritually. I prayed and prayed and prayed then all of a sudden I lost my lustful attraction to her, and through a series of really odd occurrences I got introduced to a nice woman my age, and may actually be able to have a platonic friendship with my Co worker and who knows she may even straighten her self out and being putting her amazing gifts to good use.
I prayed and prayed and prayed then. . . [everything straightened out]

She got hit really hard so I had to clean her wound really carefully wound really carefully and slowly, I spent the better half of an hour just inches from her face cleaning her up. Part way through that I realized I was no longer infatuated with her.
Could be God's Spirit coming to your aid to stop your lustful attraction.
....... If so, it should not become a habit when dealing with lust, hate, greed, jealousy, fears/worries, etc in our hearts, ie we should only ask for God's help when we could not help ourselves, eg we should work to feed ourselves.
Because of our inherited or inborn Adam's Original Sin, the devil is able to spiritually plant sinful/evil-thoughts in our minds, eg lust, hate, greed, jealousy, fears/worries, etc.(EPHESIANS.6:16-17, MATTHEW.4:1-11) If put into action, they become sins/evil-deeds/law-breaking = will be cursed/punished by God or His agents(= police, etc), eg terror, calamities, sickness, physical death, etc.(DEUT.28:15, PROV.1:26, 1COR.5:5 & 11:30, 1JOHN.5:16)
....... First, Christians should resist the devil's evil-thoughts with the Law/Word of God, eg "Thou shalt not commit adultery/sexual immorality". Then they should meditate away(let the evil-thoughts come and go by themselves) or ignore the sinful/evil-thoughts, like ignoring Internet trolls or other ways.
Praise the Lord, our God.

= she hates men(misandry), even though she likes to have wild and wanton sex with attractive men.It turns out she got board at dinner so she decided to pan handle "just for fun". She went out to the truck and got her saxophone and made herself a cardboard sign that said "Boyfriend beat me up, need $$ to get back to Louisiana ".
"Thou shalt not commit adultery/sexual immorality"
discipler7 said:"Pre-marital sex between a young and committed Christian couple, eg 18 years old, who will eventually get legally/officially married, is likely not a sin/evil-deed."
discipler7 said:Likely, yes or it's OK.MichaelDB said:That premarital sex with a committed partner is OK?
discipler7 said:She was deceived by the false precept of no sex before marriage and you suffered for it.?
discipler7 said:"It would be a burden to require an 18 years old committed couple to wait about 7 years before they could have sex by getting legally married."
discipler7 said:"It is normal for us to have fleshly lustful thoughts."
discipler7 said:"sex should be within marriage.(either officially or unofficially.?)....... Also, such lustful thought will not condemn us to hell as long as we believe that Jesus Christ died for us on the Cross."
discipler7 said:Some Christians also consider safe-sex-before-marriage between a young and committed Christian couple as not a sin/evil-deed, ala masturbation by singles is not a sin.
discipler7 said:Get married quickly to a Baptist girl.? Ask her(= your co-worker) to marry you.? Change job.? Hope she be merciful to you after you again reject her sexual advances.?MichaelDB said:I can't stop my unhealthy thoughts about her.
I hate myself for finding every little thing she did that night arousing. I just kept praying in my head to keep control of my own flesh.
Submit to her.? Eg some Christians do not consider masturbation by singles as a sin/evil-deed.
discipler7 said:P S - Sex is over-rated. It's not very different from wanting to eat a tasty steak, eating it and feeling sated afterwards.
discipler7 said:Praise the Lord, our God.

2THESSALONIANS.3: = 10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.Could you please also explain what you are trying to say with "ie we should only ask for God's help when we could not help ourselves, eg we should work to feed ourselves"? What do you base this on, where do we find anything close to this in the word of God? Helping ourselves with what, our own power?
1JOHN.5: = 14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.Why should we "only ask God for help" when "we could not help ourselves" when the Holy Bible is full of God calling His children to always pray and ask without ceasing, and have communion with His Holy Spirit at all times? What kind of advice or teaching is this?

It would be unscriptural for the able-bodied Christians to pray to God to feed them.

MATTHEW.6: =
8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

MATTHEW.26: = Jesus Institutes the Lord’s SupperAnd then right after that you quote the prayer that Lord Jesus Himself taught, which we pray everyday:
"GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD"
It's unscriptural for able-bodied Christians to pray to God to feed them.???

MATTHEW.26: = Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
LUKE.22: =
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper
14 When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. 15 Then He said to them, “With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you. 21 But behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table. 22 And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
23 Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.
Maybe, at that moment, in your heart you were treating her as your little biological sister who was being sexually-harassed and bullied by men.She got hit really hard so I had to clean her wound really carefully wound really carefully and slowly, I spent the better half of an hour just inches from her face cleaning her up. Part way through that I realized I was no longer infatuated with her. I want having any strange inappropriate feelings all i could think about was how some one as smart as she could find her self in such a predicament where she was covered in mud and blood.
There is a reason Mississippi is routinely considered the most corrupt state in the union. Where do you think the stereotype of the corrupt southern sheriff comes from? I honestly think she was lucky she wasn't given a couple whacks with a police baton.Jeepers. This is the most twisted part of the story.
No question about it. She's not playing with a full deck. But to be fair the guy did grope her not once, not twice, but three times. She just ignored when he slapped her rear the first time, she asked him to remove his arm from her the second time, and she only bit him when he grabbed her breasts. I am sure that man will think twice before harassing another woman.This woman is still unsafe. Please continue to stay civil, but not overly friendly. She is still not your friend.
You are a kind, understanding man, but it's ok to distance yourself from difficult people.
She bit into a guy's arm.
Amen.This woman is still unsafe. Please continue to stay civil, but not overly friendly. She is still not your friend.

I would have but this girl is smart. When she found it and started fiddling with it she half jokingly reminded me that I am in a company vehicle and that concealed weapons are prohibited in company vehicles and are prohibited on the rig site. That's why I changed the subject to talk about her, pretty much exactly what she was fishing for.The fact that she grabbed your handgun is outrageous and needs to be reported and documented.
Boss definitely isn't turned on by her, she is a married 50 year old Muslim woman who treats my Co worker like her child rather than her employee. It blew my mind when I saw her braiding her hair and the fact that she packed her a little bag lunch with a sandwich, juice box, goldfish crackers and a fruit roll up made me feel like I was a school bus driver taking a child to kindergarten.It seems the boss is turned on by her so he or she may be no help at all.
Funny you should say that. I did try this and what she did was just grab her saxophone and start playing Holy Holy and when I tried to get her to stop (not really a good idea to pay an alto sax inside a an enclosed SUV) she said she thought I wanted to "Praise". She for some reason knows a ton of praise songs and can play them from memory.I would pray about maybe telling the woman that you are documenting her sexual harassment. I would also start singing Christian songs a lot in the vehicle. A whole lot.
Singing praise songs is a form of spiritual warfare. Read how David gave relief to Saul from evil spirits when he sang. Read how Paul and Silas got out of prison when they were singing praise songs.
