Flee! Don't fuel temptation
One of the sure ways to hack temptation is to resist by fleeing every appearances of evil. It is not cowardice to do so, rather a wisdom that preserves the soul. Battle against the flesh is not won by strength but by the Word and Spirit. Scriptural guidance says "flee," and not "fuel".
To avoid falling into temptations, flee and resist. Don't give it a soothing thought, knock it out of the heart quickly before it gains root and matures into iniquity.
Never assume you can handle it by staying where it is. No, that will fuel it, and dangerous.
Two things are noteworthy here: First, walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Second, don't lurk in any environment (mind or physical) conducive for sin; then, you'll be a victor rather than a victim.
Temptation is a forerunner to sin. It haunts all of us, but to resist is the responsibility of each one.
Watch and pray; flee, not fuel it lest it burns you!
