Renew your mind in God's word. Spend time with God everyday in private, reading the word and praying. The Holy Spirit will change your desires. "Whom the son sets free is free indeed"(John 8:36)

Also the company you keep matters....your device, friends, movies, music, social media platforms etc....if they don't edify you drop it, they might be the reason why you can't seems to be free. It's called chains..... things that make you unable to have liberty.

If you find your self not aligning with God's plan, doing the following can help align because God loves you and is willing to help you overcome sin. 1: Be born again if you are not or rededicate your life to God. 2: Study the scriptures like your whole life depends on it because it does. (Read at least 5 charpters of the bible a day) 3: change old habits, replace books , movies , music etc with x-rated contents for Godly ones. Example of of such books is "He came to set the captives free" by Rebecca Brown, "The call" and "final ques quest" by Rick Joyner etc. 4: Don't stay alone, don't fight alone, replace ungodly friends with the one that can help you grow. I mean people who are working on being pleasing to God. They do exist and I have them as my friends so you too can. 5. Attend a bible believing church where truth if God's word is taught, open up to someone and get prayed for. I'm here if you want to talk.

I also struggle with being attracted incorrectly and repent daily. The Bible says that God has every tear that u cried and has watched the world for years so He knows the struggle we go thru. You might never stop being tempted but at least ur given the strength to resist

One big point I would like to add is don't watch shorts tiktok or Snapchat spotlight or really anything that you have no idea what comes next, be intentional about what you watch and consume.

Stay free

Hope you’ve found a new pastor?😳

Not much of a pastor. Hope you've been doing better, friend.

Amen

You are definitely in my prayers. In addition to myself, I’m constantly praying for everyone trapped in the cycle of sexual sin, especially pornography.

@@DeveronFerguson I'll keep you in mine as well.

@@Albatross0913Very much appreciated!

next time just turn off the phone without hesitation and run away

Sometimes it is actually true and sometimes not. It actually depends on your cycle of friends. Change your friends to people who actually understands what friendship means . Let true believers be your friend and I can also be a friend that can help you walk through this journey.

Bro, don't be so hard on yourself. If I were in your shoes, I'd QUIT THAT JOB and look for another job in a different industry or take a short break from work if it's been stressful for you. As far as seeing "happy couples everywhere" go where you LEAST expect them to be. Like commercial, industrial warehouses, distribution centers and places like that. CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Throw out your phone. Throw out your computer. Throw out the magazines. Nothings worth that addiction. Ask yourself this question: Do I respect myself? Do I care about myself? If the answers truly yes, you’ll do what you need to do to fix your life. You can do it I believe in you man. Please try as hard as you can.

Praying for you 🙏

He said to “choose to live like them” taking on singleness but keeping ones genitals intact

@@wilfredneumann3413 It's interesting that you directly try to lie about what the bible verses I quoted literally said. ""10 His disciples said to him, ‘If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.’ 11 But he said to them, ‘Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.’"" "He said to “choose to live like them” taking on singleness but keeping ones genitals intact"

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others-and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

It is referring to their ability to be married. Some don’t want marriage, others aren’t asked to be married and others choose not to for the kingdoms sake

@@wilfredneumann3413 And one more christain who is desperate to ignore what these verses literally say. "3 Some Pharisees came to him, and to test him they asked, ‘Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?’ 4 He answered, ‘Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning “made them male and female”, 5 and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.’ 7 They said to him, ‘Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?’ 8 He said to them, ‘It was because you were so hard-hearted that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but at the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery.’" here we have Jesus saying that divorce should be very limited. Then we have the disciples saying that it's better not to get married. Jesus responses with an even more extreme bit of nonsense. That rather than just not get married, one should cut off one's genitals. How else is a eunuch *made*? Someone who is celibate is not a eunuch. 10 His disciples said to him, ‘If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.’ 11 But he said to them, ‘Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.’" then we have paul who says "7 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. 8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 10 To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife." strangely, Paul says that a wife can be the one leaving, and jesus does not. "t is referring to their ability to be married. Some don’t want marriage, others aren’t asked to be married and others choose not to for the kingdoms sake"

When's the last time you read the Bible? Straight from Jesus's mouth in Matthew 5:27-30

Lust is most definitely a sin. Jesus said whoever looks at a women with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart

Lust is a strong desire so lust for your wife can be a very good thing and actually necessary in marriage. You should have an abounding desire for your wife

@@nicolashromyk5397 desiring is not a sin Jesus desired to have the last supper with his disciples

@@randomjed7006 OK and? I never said desiring is a sin. Stop building strawmen to support your objectively incorrect viewpoints.
