"There Is Power in the BLOOD" - If We Are Willing to IMAGINE the Pain That Christ Felt as the Bleeding Occurs

There is POWER if we are willing to dwell on (and join in) the suffering of Christ upon the Cross !!!    
I mean, if I am, say, lusting or even going further: masturbating,    
 but then i manage to open my mind for just a moment    
to the pain and grotesqueness of the bloody Christ up there on the Cross,    
it(the gore,etc) has the POWER to break my concentration, break the SPELL    
and free me from having to complete the lusting fantasy or the auto-eroticism process.    
Yes, "there is power in the blood" just like the old hymn says !  
(Power in the bloodshed, not so much in the blood by itself.)  
   
If I can only empathize - EMPATHIZE - with Christ even for a split second,    
that can pop the balloon of sin, so to speak.    
If I am willing to imagine the STING of the whip    
that Christ underwent right before the cross,    
"With His STRIPES, we are healed" (Isaiah 53.5; 1 Peter 2.24),    
transported away from the dungeon of our evil imaginings.    
   
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ asked the disciples,    
"Could you not watch with me for one hour"(Matthew 26.40;Mark 14.37)?    
(They had fallen asleep, instead of praying with Christ.).    
To paraphrase those words, "Can we not focus on Christ's bleeding,    
tortured body for one moment?" - as a way to break the spell    
of the imagination we have given ourselves over to.    
Fight fire with fire - fight the "youthful lusting" kind of imagining    
with the counteracting IMAGINATION of Christ's self-sacrifice!    
It works !! Try it, you'll see that I'm telling the truth.    
   
PS:According to Einstein, "Imagination is more powerful/important than knowledge."    
(Words to that effect). That statement is a testimony to his genius.
