God-given desire is within marriage.. But is every desire within marriage God-given? I don't think so.. If a husband and a wife practise what they see from pronography, their desire is also not God-given, it's forbidden ****...I think if we engage with God, we'll identify the source of our desires.

I think it is a spiritual warfare to overcome adultery and ***********.. We need to repent for our sins and cast out the evil spirits, break the connections with them..Throw all related materials/CDs/DVDs/Movies/Books..... Besides these, I think we need to be filled with God's Word and the Holy Spirit. Devote ourselves in prayer, fight the fight until we have victory.. Pray to God and ask Him to change our inmost being.. Ask Him to give us desire to desire Himself and His kingdom, His righteousness. Whatever we gaze upon is what we are transformed into... So ask God to reveal His glory and His beauty to us, so that we will be drawn after Him and follow Him, desire Him, desire to dwell in His temple and behold His beauty.. When we are attracted by this beautiful and glorious God, all of our hearts will be filled and satisfied, all the earthly things will become rubbish to us...

God is righteous, God is righteousness. So hungering and thirsting for righteousness means that we need to hunger and thirst for God himself. Righteousness is not just something we do or some way in which we act. Righteousness is our God's attribute. Unless we know God himself, we will never know what is righteousness. Unless we know righteousness, we will never be righteous.. So knowing Jesus, is our greatest treasure. When we know Him, we shall be like Him, we shall share with His characters. In this way, we will not be a people who honor Him with lips, but far away from Him in hearts.
