One of the tools we have been given in our Purity Platoon is the Four-Step Fire Drill — steps to take when we are confronted with sexual temptation:
STEP 1: SPEAK ALOUD
Speak aloud these words. “I will not sacrifice my purity no matter what! I will not sacrifice my purity for [name the temptation].”
STEP 2: PRAY
Pray and ask Jesus to strengthen you right now! Ask Him to give you courage to walk away from the temptation.
STEP 3: CALL
Call your Purity Partner.
STEP 4: FLEE
Flee the temptation by vacating the premises. (You should have a place identified that you can flee to for known times and places of vulnerability.

Hey D-Monk!
I’ve been reading a daily devotional from Neil Anderson for several years now. Highly recommended. (http://www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/dailyinchrist/)
I think he would suggest modifing Step 1 to include “In the name of Jesus.” If this is a spiritual attack then using the Lord’s name will drive away the attacker.
