Bro, I'm about to turn 55 and was fully addicted to sex for over 30 years. When I was in my 20's I was sleeping with multiple girls, once I got into my 30's I started going to strip clubs, then the internet came along and porn was right at my fingertips right in my own home. It was just in the past couple of years that I finally broke free of it. I wish I had the magic word to tell you how to overcome it. I trieddozens of times over the years and failed. I would hold fast for a few months but then give in. Part of the problem was that just 2 weeks without masturbation and I started having vivd sexual dreams every night. I prayed about it a lot because it seemed to me that I had overcome just about all of the sin in my life. I was very introspective about it down to the smallest thing. If I could just oversome lust I would have been like a saint, but I was never able to do it. I started to notice thatfifty times a day I was confronted with images in advertising or a pretty girl in tight jeans, I lived on Sieta Key in Florida, literally the best beach in the world, and I couldn't go to the beach EVER because I would come across LITERALLY 100 girls in skimpy bikinis, and then girls started wearing thongs and Brazilian-cut swimsuits where they were 95% naked. I lived on a tropical island and I didn't go to the beach for over a decade. There is one bit of wisdom I can impart to you from my hears of dealing with it. Don't let condemnation stop you from trying to deal with it. After trying and failing so many times I was too ashamed to pray about it anymore, let alone ask for forgiveness...AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT SATAN WANTS. You make the decision that you aren't going to look at porn, or even look at the scantily clad girls you see every time you leave your home...and then after 2 weeks or just 2 days, you fail. Then you pray about it and ask for forgveness and start over determined to succeed this time, but then 2 weeks later you fall again. Then you repeat that vicious cycle a few dozen more times and you will find yourself EXACTLYwhere I found myself. BUT DON'T LET CONDEMNATION MAKE YOU GIVE UP. It doesn't matter if you try your best and fail a thousand times. The ONLY thing that matters is that you keep trying. If you fall for the 50th time, which you probably will given the world we are living in today, then you pray and ask for forgiveness for the 50th time. You continue to ask God to help you, you ask Him to stop Satan from putting temptation in your path, be specific about what your worst weaknesses are. Don't be ashamed to bring it up because He already knows what you are doing and thinking...and most importantly never forget... In every major war in all of history both sides lost many battles before the war was won. YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DEFEATED UNTIL YOU GIVE UP DON'T...GIVE...UP... Time is short. You definitely don't want to be left behind when the Rapture comes. You don't have to be perfect and free of sin to be Raptured. You just have to be giving it everything you got. If it comes down to it then start staying home and praying instead of going out. Read your Bible, watch Christian videos. listen to Christian music, go to church and Bible study. Keep yourself surrounded with God 24/7. If that's what it takes to overcome lust then that's what you have to do. We probably have less than 20 years remaining. What is that compared to eternity ? It's less than one drop in the ocean.

Proud of you bro it’s really hard to fight the temptation but just remember Jesus was tempted as well and he gives us strength to get through it

Jesus Christ is with you my friend don't fall

@@StevieMarkss Thanks brother, it was a very long battle but I'm winning now.

@@damianayre2130That’s good to hear brother. I have dealt with lust all my life and I was exposed to porn at a very young age. Im winning the battle these days but its definitely challenging. Glory be to God for strength and encouragement. Keep fighting the good fight.

you can do it, just believe it

We all does..

I’m in the same boat you are in I’m trying my hardest to get rid of my lust and my sexual sin and I’ve prayed to god for him to deliver me from it but I have faith that he will deliver me from it I know he will 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️

You worship a God who punishes you for following the biological instincts that he gave you.

Same here my friend

Yes, I’m right there with you.. 🙏

Yes I struggle all the time it’s difficult in this day in age where everything is skimpy and women dress in a manner that commands our attention to parts of their bodies that we lust after unfortunately. The difference is we have to be strong and resist as best as we can even if we don’t look “ COOL “ while doing so . I have to remove myself from situations or my mind starts to wonder in even the most normal of places . I mean I was in church and women where wearing cleavage low cut shirts and skirts and I immediately felt overwhelmed and stared hard at the cross and the ceiling while they passed by reminding myself it’s Satan trying to get me to falter . Its intense no joke and I feel very sad about it sometimes yet I’m back at it weekly .

Jesus Christ died on the CROSS FOR YOUR SINS REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND PRAY TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS GOD AND JESUS CHRIST LOVE YOU NEVER FORGET THIS❤

Do not get mad pray on it to God and Jesus Christ

Bro everyday is a struggle for me, it hits me every morning, afternoon and night. I need forgiveness every day because without Christ I am a goner

Glory to God for your healing!!! You are blessed!!! We all struggle with something!!! Only the power of God can change us!!! Trust in Jesus to do the rest!!! Keep praying and believing in the Lord!!! ❤❤❤

Did he supernaturally heal you or did you get some kind of medication?

All the medication crap. Cancer can be healed with the perfect diet.@@tree777tree3

It is by his way that once fogiven and saved from such a sin it is for you not to commit that sin again. I say no, Jesus Christ did not save you three times. He will only save you once. You are forgiven already for the sins of man. Lust is a sin of man. Do not make it yours also. Are you single or married? If you are single you do not lust. Once you make a commitment and then look at another woman it is lust. The commitment makes it lust. The Marriage makes it lust. The unmarried man is already atracted to most women. He has to find the one. Then not lust.

May God continue to bless you and all those closest to you. 🙏🏻

The flesh is the flesh. Idoltary is for the weak in spirit.

AMEN 🙏 ❤🎉💯💯💯

@Someone Porn and lust is a form of idolatry. Idolatry is clinging to a mental image, thinking it has power over your spirit.

​@@sambaia5938 Can you simplify what your saying for me?

Cuase lust is um not a proper translation The actual greek is epithumio it means coveting and desire. Mathew verse is about coveting Extreme rabbinic jews have historically outlawed men from looking at women There to point u can't touch your penis to pee. It's cuase they believed sperm was a baby. However that's the talmud. And it's tuaght that they are extra biblical Christ calls em out. Also the women in verse also is actually married women. Looking at women and sexual arousal is normal. To say otherwise is adding rules Once u find out augustine was originally gnostic. U realize. That the shame of sex is out moded. Modern rabbis have even had to step back on masterbation. Why cuase they realize that there is a littinany of health benifits. Momodies in 1500 a rabbinic talmud writer believed it was sin but clarified the torah makes no mention. It's tradition of man bro

Don't be hard on yourself. The Bible never called lust a sin, that was the Pope. There are only two sins in the Bible. The greatest sin is to forget the covenant with our Father. But thanks to Jesus he already paid the wages of sin for us. All you need to do is accept the blood sacrifice he made for you

A catholic psychologist once told me to not struggle harder than Jesus himself

Just relax and beat your meat without guilt. There's enough stress in life.

I pray for you my child, may God help you amen 🙏 ❤

jesus is just a human being and messenger Human being like me and you . Jesus did not know the unseen, Jesus did not know the Hour, Jesus could not do anything on his own, Jesus was sent by God, Jesus was praying to God Jesus is not God or the son of God . Jesus is a man, mortal . Islam is the true religion, Islam is the religion of monotheism ❤️ Christianity is a pagan religion

@@SamA-xu9gy Do not disrespect Christians. Your own scripture says Quran: [2.62] Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. SURAH AL-BAQARAH AYAT 112 “Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to God and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 2:111-113 They also say, ‘No one will enter Paradise unless he is a Jew or a Christian.’ This is their own wishful thinking. Say, ‘Produce your evidence, if you are telling the truth.’ In fact, any who direct themselves wholly to God and do good will have their reward with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve. The Jews say, ‘The Christians have no ground whatsoever to stand on,’ and the Christians say, ‘The Jews have no ground whatsoever to stand on,’ though they both read the Scripture, and those who have no knowledge say the same; God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning their differences.

Amen. Thank you for that.

Guys! Get up! Your repentance looks like an empty repetition. You are forgiven, yet stuck in a guilt trip. Stop feeling guilty.

Yeah, because an all merciful god that sends you to eternal torment for having instincts and hormones that he created is YOUR problem. Your god is a monster and needs to be called out on his shit.

I was fighting lust all the time but I need to learn how to flee from it. It's one of the toughest desires we have as humans. In the name of Jesus free us all.

I spend all day every day being assaulted in my mind with almost no peace.

@@smokingcrab2290 I'll pray for you

Thank you

Firstly God bless you, but these teaching is FLAT OUT WRONG. Please read it in the greek, and also read the LAW given to Gods people in the OT. what is adultery according to God? It's when a man has sex with a MARRIED WOMAN who's not married TO HIM. It is NOT adultery when a man has sex outside of his marriage with an unmarried woman (that is fornication) , the only time it's adultery is if it involves a MARRIED woman. So it's scripturally established that in order for something to be "adultery" scripturally it HAS TO INVOLVE a MARRIED WOMAN. Mathew 5:28 actually says that if you covet/wrongfully lust after a WIFE you have committed adultery in your heart. The word woman and wife are the SAME word in the greek. This is one of the WORST mistranslations in the english versions of scripture, it's certainly not the only one, but because of how this is used as a cudgel against God fearing Christian men and women, it's abominable. For the same God whose words we hear in mathew 5:28, are the words of the same God who says if you see a foreign captive woman after a battle and desire her (desire to have sex with her) she must be given a month to mourn and then you can make her your wife...... If merely looking at a foreign unmarried woman, were adultery, then God is permitting SIN by the standards of his own law here.... but this is NOT the case, nor has it EVER been in the ENTIRETY of the scriptures, ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE is a man looking at an unmarried woman, and having the desire to have sex with her, SINFUL.... it's supposed to LEAD HIM to make her his wife, however if he FORNICATES with her, then he has indeed sinned, and if he desires to lead her astray in his heart, that he may fornicate with her, he has also sinned. However if seeing her, he desires her sexually, and thus tries to marry her, there has been no sin committed.

​@@stevesmith7843know what you were saying is absolutely in error. The words γυνή, αικός, ἡ in this context specifically mean women. Even the Aramaic text agrees that it means women. And the Aramaic has some insight on the accuracy. We can tell in our hearts it's wrong. We know by the holy spirit that it is against our Lord and savior to look at women in lust. Please repent and stop pushing this ridiculous excuse.

​@@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel No ancient Aramaic version of Matthew's Gospel has, however, survived, so i'm afraid you don't have a leg to stand on there. and no, in the greek γυναῖκά which is the word used, means either woman, or wife. In this context, speaking of adultery, which in the human context (not spiritually committing adultery against God) is ONLY EVER in the ENTIRETY of the scriptures, from genesis, to revelations used to mean a MARRIED WOMAN having sex with a man who isn't her husband, or a man having sex with another mans WIFE...... it's abundantly clear in this context it's referring to a WIFE not merely a WOMAN. Again, nowhere in the ENTIRETY of the scriptures is a man desiring a woman sexually considered wrong, with the exception that it's another mans wife. with all due respect sir YOU are in error here, as are the modern day pharisees in the church who decide for themselves what is sin, instead of looking to God for such things. For if the Lord thy God himself in deuteronomy 21:10-14 “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take them away captive, 11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire for her and would take her as a wife for yourself, 12 then you shall bring her home to your house, and she shall shave her head and [a]trim her nails. 13 She shall also [b]remove the clothes of her captivity and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and mother a full month; and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 It shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you shall let her go [c]wherever she wishes; but you shall certainly not sell her for money, you shall not [d]mistreat her, because you have humbled her. how is it YOU sir, do not see, that the israelite saw her, and DESIRED her? whatever could this "DESIRE" mean? it means he desired to have sex with her, he desired her sexually, which is the EXACT SAME desire that EVERY SINGLE MAN has had towards EVERY SINGLE WOMAN that he's married, since the beginning of GODS ENTIRE CREATION. Without such things, men would LITERALLY NEVER marry women. There's no LAW OF GOD anywhere in scripture that prohibits a man SEXUALLY DESIRING A WOMAN (which are 100% NECESSARY in order to declare it a SIN for the SCRIPTURES THEMSELVES state that SIN is the transgression of Gods LAW), there is however laws that prevent a man having SEX with a MARRIED WOMAN, because she literally belongs to another man, she is HIS property, not the thief and adulterer who seeks to plunder her. With this OBVIOUS truth in mind, please pray to the Lord and re-evaluate your, and the modern phariseeical church's misunderstanding, and what this passage in mathew 5:28 is CLEARLY talking about, which is a man WRONGFULLY LUSTING (again Christ uses the same word for lust when talking about how he LUSTED to have the passover meal with the desciples) for another mans wife in his heart. The ENTIRE point is that even if you haven't COMMITTED the act of adultery (having sex with another mans wife), if you truly desire to do so in your heart, you've already committed the sin in your heart. THAT is the point of the scripture sir. And if you truly disagree with that, how is it that a man sees a woman and desires her? what is it he desires? for he has not met her, he doesn't know her, he knows nothing about her.... and yet he SEES her, and DESIRES her..... he CLEARLY (and quite frankly OBVIOUSLY) sees her, and desires her beauty, and desires to HAVE her sexually and in accordance with Gods law this is only to be done in marriage, or concubinage ( a wife of lesser status essentially, "piligesh" in the hebrew).......... this shouldn't need explaining to an adult of sound mind, however here i am stating what is patently obvious about how God created man in his wisdom. God bless and keep you, may the Lord bring you unto the truth in this matter, so we can worship him in spirit and truth.

Well I think it’s a more of a natural behavior to think of possible outcomes. But you are not your thoughts, as they’re just as temporary as everything else. You are the love that you affirm to yourself. You need to think from different points of views to know what not to do. You know?

It actually doesn't underline the importance of prayer. It actually means the opposite in fact. Humans prevent crime. Not some magical power from the sky LMFAO

Amen 🙏

Ypu can't legislate the evil in someone's heart and/or soul.

We treat our neighbours badly, children pick up on it and magnify it, and we grow concern because of bullying and accuse others and put the responsibility on the authorities without adressing the real issue, which is within us, but we're too afraid to look ourselves in the mirror. Children come with light and joy, and from our own traumatic experience, we have learned to put out that light and conform, so we teach our children to become like us. Human laws will always fail, because it is a form of crisis management. We're not dealing what causes the crisis. Thinking people are evil by nature, is exactly what evil people thinks, and that's why they're acting evil... What we value, others will value.

In Jesus name i pray for you and your father

@@hansjakupberg6470 thanks a lot ! I hope God bless your home abundantly 🙏🏻

This is why connecting with your local church and being active in church is important, you need to surround yourself with Christians like minded people.

I prayed for you but just remember you always had the victory

You are most likely Catholic which is to say following a man made religion. All religions are man made. Get into a spirit filled covenant with God, once the holy spirt resides in you it will be much easier to abstain as Gods law will be written on your heart. Join a mens accountability group, this isn't a demon its your own human nature that Jesus said you have to die to which is a process not a single event,

@@creditrepairwizards I am Catholic and a man named Jesus began this one true church! I don’t want to get into a theological back n forth with another Protestant like you probably are, no offense. It is partially human nature but also demonic in sort as well because it’s sinning against God. I’m not into porn or anything like that. I just fail at times to control my fantasies.

You are not alone. Every time I read Jesus's Sermon on the Mount I dwell on this part because I too am guilty even though I have not actually ever committed the physical act of adultery. I also fully understand the logic of this as well as coveting things. It starts with a desire in the heart which constantly nags at you then you begin thinking of ways that your desires may come to fruition and the next thing you know you are taking actual actions to fulfill your evil desires. David and Bathsheba is a good example.. He committed coveting, then adultery initially in his mind and eventually acted on this and even committed murder by setting up her husband to be killed in battle... I have realized that the Tenth Commandment is the one to watch out for the most. It seems to lead to the violation of the others.

Bro it's on purpose. Whoever put this in the Bible knew it was an impossibility so it perpetuates a never ending feeling of guilt. You can look, it's fine, you're not going to hell.

@@j-fleduc9209 Well idk Jesus is the one who says “ that if you look at another with lust than you ARE already committing adultery “ so it’s kind of difficult to reconcile that with not going to Hell. I mean it’s practically impossible for a normal heterosexual man to overcome the beauty of a woman whom God made so desirable.

Keep putting yourself in position to find a quality partner. I believe you'll find it. Have a nice day!

I pray for you my child! This feeling is natural and the purpose is for you to find a spouse but do not succumb to it sinfully. May God help you amen 🙏

I want a wife but I have never met or seen a Christian woman where I live. I've only ever seen them on the internet and what not.

@@keenakaur6314Where did you come up with that? Might want to do a little reading.

@@David-li4uw Absolutely ridiculous. God CREATED us with lust, but now wants to punish us for the impossible. Because of this one issue, He is either not realistic, or is not real. I believe Jesus is real. But, if he created me and you, with burning lust in our hearts, for me, Kristen Haenggi Dineen, of Nebraska, who I deeply desire smelling her very sweaty, pink soles of her feet, and you, with only you know what, then how the hell are we guilty? If you think I need more reading, know this. God created me, with a 185 plus IQ. I bet it's superior to yours. Why did he create a straight woman, who totally desires Kristen Haenggi's (Her radio name was Kristen Kelley) feet to smell, in all of their incredible glory? It's all I dream about, 24 hours per day.

I have achieved it. But I did have help from the Lord, but when I first meet my Wife I did not ever think of another women besides for her. We been together now for 8 years with 2 beautiful well manner, and good children. Everyone can do it, but I do believe most will indeed need help to do so. Without Guidance's to show us the way we will fall, but with it! The right path we will all make it.

​@@jjohnson6382At one point you were not married. Jesus talks when you are married. You cannot 'cheat' for looking at another woman this way when you are single and you see her as your future wife. You always have to make the first step. It's when you are married and start to look at other women this way.

@@masonridgewell8063 Isn’t it true that the Bible states that adultery is about lust in your heart regardless if you are married or not? I really don’t get it though. Men have lots of testosterone when they are young and sexual desire is inherent with those raging hormones in their body. To deny that you have lustful thoughts goes against nature itself. Behavior - the ability to control oneself in spite of your thoughts - to me, that is strength. I realize that it isn’t scripture.

@@susankievman642 So I've revisit this passage in the Bible and right now I read more books than 2 months ago. I must admit that that's exactly what is stated. I am also confused because there is no specific explanation. It also makes me think how are we suppose to get married and have a family. At some point that person isn't your wife. I have been thinking a lot. I think what Jesus meant is that we shouldn't look at a woman lustful. Meaning we can see an attractive woman in the streets as example, but we shouldn't keep looking at her and continously think of her to have sex. So at that moment we have to look away. In modern times you can probably translate it to watching half naked insta models etc. Feel free to have a counter argument. But if it's not correct I don't know how else we are suppose to marry a woman before seeing her. I don't like to corrupt the Bible messages by my own interpretation which is what I did in my first comment, but then also there isn't a full elaboration on these question you asked. Things like this worries me. Jesus has said though that in repentance of many sins we are forgiven, but it still doesn't change the fact that based off this we are stuck with these questions.

Women degrade themselves. They don't need men to do it

You speak a lot of truth. I am 65 and see such a vast difference in how young women are today than when I was young. They are hard and callous, Profane and indifferent , I agree, its like they dont know how to experience love and respect. Its like they kind of crave being used and abused. The BBC thing on college campuses I believe is getting out of control. Young white men are looked down on, and often emasculated. I hate it for them. There doesnt seem to be any pure young women for them. Young women go around angry in their pajamas and tattoos.

Amazing man 🙏❤️

jesus is just a human being and messenger Human being like me and you . Jesus did not know the unseen, Jesus did not know the Hour, Jesus could not do anything on his own, Jesus was sent by God, Jesus was praying to God Jesus is not God or the son of God Jesus is a man, mortal . Islam is the true religion, Islam is the religion of monotheism ❤️ Christianity is a pagan religion.

@@SamA-xu9gy false new

@@SamA-xu9gythat’s very wrong

@@urmsmpofficial No, it's not wrong. For example, The true God knows when the Day of Resurrection will be. Jesus said that he does not know when the Day of Resurrection will be. This is clear evidence that Jesus is not God, the son of God, or part of God. I invite you to Islam and worship the one true, living God directly without an intermediary . Jesus is not equal to God

Thanks Sam but everyone has an opinion good luck

But it a sign brother the lord is trying to reach you don’t deny this feeling cause if you do you’ll deal with thee eternal regret

We all have fantasies. It's human. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

@@Frozenhand00 not true at all speak for yourself brother, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. God can set you free if your thinking sexually perverted things towards the opposite sex.

@@thechosen1880 Okay. I was a fundamentalist christian growing up. I was into the whole abstinence thing and actively did my best to avoid pornography and not even look at attractive women. I even prayed to god and asked him to take away my lustful desires if he wasn't going to help me find a wife. God never answered in spite of his promise of making me "a new creature." I became a self-declared agnostic in 2012 and that year I had sex for the first time. there were some other women that I was with after that, but after 10 years I became homeless due to severe psychological issues. Thankfully, I was diagnosed properly and received anti-psychotic medication. Strangely enough, one of the side effects of the meds is a reduction in my sex drive, so after all these years I finally got my prayer answered (sort of, I still have some sex drive, but not enough to be distracting and I have no desire for relationships and have a take it or leave it attitude about pornography). And yet, in spite of this, now I'm an atheist (due to the fact that all of my spiritual experiences were a result of psychosis- the most potent of which occurred as a pagan with the goddess Kali). Anyway, I took the meds and all spiritual experiences ceased, indicating that that stuff only existed in my head, and as a caveat, I don't feel so uncomfortably horny all the time- but it's no thanks to god, its thanks to modern medicine.

@@Frozenhand00 ok let me give you my experience I get what your saying really because I struggled with pornography everyday and all tho I prayed I still kept failing😭 and also was very lukewarm was raised in a christian family but that doesn’t make you a Christian I came to a point to where I could not have a real relationship and make it to heaven doing this and other things but I asked god please lord I repent lord I wanna follow you please give me strength to say no to these urges you have to be sincere and truly I MEAN TRULY WANT TO TURN AWAY FROM SIN and he will hear ask him to give you the Holy Spirit which is going to change you from the inside out I’m telling you now your still going to be tempted but that is not a sin brother giving in to it is, the devil wants to destroy your life wants to kill you and he’s never going to stop just cause you stop believing Jesus is returning so please take heed to this message 🙏🏿✝️

Also when thoughts of temptations, reoccurring depressing thoughts or stuff like occur that is the enemy in your head. Remember the enemy will talk to you in your own voice which is why God says trust in him and not your mind. When the enemy is in your head, I also say "In Jesus name I demand you leave" even if you jump the gun and it really was just yourself it often safer to do that than anything.

Also add daily meditation and see a difference in time ☯️

Just stop. Thats it, just stop. YOU control your body and your acts just self control can save you

@@thecat0079 what's hard is when you have given in to said sin for a long time. For example, although personal, checking out women. Society has been impressing on young men that there is nothing wrong with checking out a lady we find interesting, or even taking a second look as they pass yet Jesus said this is a sin. It's not always as easy as just stop, however I do believe there is victory even in attempting to fight against the urges even if you don't succeed.

Me too. I have a terrible time. I love men in general, and I fall in love easily. It's hell.

@@thecat0079 You can't just stop. It holds you in its grip.

I feel your pain. I just want to honor God and be done struggling. But I think what we need to accept is that Jesus’ grace would be enough for us even if our struggles never had an end. We shouldn’t look to an escape. We need to look to Him.

Try a hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows.

I'm tired of fighting sin and paying bills while watching the devil gain more and more ground. I want the sweet release of death.

@@keichan9661 Life does have its little pleasures. I've just been feeling as if I need more frequent "breaks". I'm so aware of my brokenness and need for Jesus, that the things I was once numb to or pretended didn't bother me, now gut me.

@@smokingcrab2290 Find something in life that you can change. Talk to some old friends, read the Word. Your body is a temple to the Holy Spirit.

Praying 🙏

Focus on the purity and innocence you had as a child...rebirth yourself in Christ, feel the cleansing around your body like a white light of radiance and simple joy. Thank The Most High for deliverance every day. Stay well. This is my prayer for you in Jesus' name.😀

Brother pray and ask the Lord to send the hy spirit that the veil be lifted from your eyes and any blockage be removed from your ears. That firstly you see and get to know Christ but secondly to reveal to you the truth about pornography. Whenever you feel like you want to, I urge you to pray first and then look at/find documentaries or read articles about the horrors of the industry. Porn is nothing what it seems. The industry is rife with Trafficking, abuse exploitation and rape. I learned alot about prostitution because I wanted to understand why women did it and I'm not joking when I say from hundreds & hundreds of women not one of them enjoyed or wanted to do it. Now imagine someone you care for having to go through it, a mum or a sister. I saw a documentary once where the women said that during the making of the porno lots of guys are being so rough and hurting them so bad and actually get kicks out of hurting them more so it harder and they bleed etc. It's a sick evil industry where already young and abused girls are raped as part of the casting interview process and constantly coerced raped into doing more. I say rape because none of them actually want to do it ( some pretend they do, if they understood what was going on and really stopped to think about it they would stop lying to themselves) they are forced into it by circumstances or scum who think it's ok to exploit vulnerable women who were more than likely already abused as children, never been loved but abused and feel broken & worthless because that's how those people make them feel. Lots of them are drugged trafficked and put on rooms and sold to sometimes 50+ men a day who rape them. Remember these things when you feel you want to look, it will destroy the magic spell of it.( Knowledge usually does that for everything)

@@GobboBex thank you so much . I hope it will help me a lot to fight against this evilness .

@@SunnieDae1 may Lord be with you as well .

35 year old man here, and around the time I turned 30, pretty much everyone assumed I was masturbating even if nothing else in my life hinted towards it. People aren't 'that' stupid... you go this long without being married, it is extremely difficult to manage. I know it isn't what God would have me do, but I think I just give up. No one is promised a spouse, and it is what it is.

Pastor Michael irfan Sex is a perfectly normal thing. I see a lot of people whish they could be holier-than-thou- All religion does is turn you into a robot

@@timward3142 its been from God, i understand it wisely according to the word of God. But what the bible teaches us to stay with your wife. The mother of Lamuel advises his son, do not give your power to women. What it means? God created one woman for Adam, and blessed them. So we need to avoid from sin, adultery. Paul teaches to Corinthian, don't you know that the adulterer will not enter in the kingdom of God?

@@vgmpakistan "God" did not write the bible. Men did

The Eye is the lamp of the body. Not Eyes . New testament wants to confuse you . Simple , Jesus got crucified at age 33 for our sins. (humans have 33 Vertebrates ) Hold yourself from lust and Sin. You will then have the sacred Oil climb up your spine(Kundulini) to meet the Eye. (Connected +/-) (Eye of Horus **ancient Egypt** or Pineal Gland ) Matthew 6:22-23 NIV You will then be prompt to Reach the gates of YHWH (Infinity) with the power of Chris Consciousness. Just like the all Seeing eye we can see from freemasons. Level 33rd!

Yes but it's good practice to stay away from such thoughts and not obsess or think about them too much because it just makes the planted seed grow. So it's good practice to fill your mind with all good things like the Bible etc so that evil things cannot get chances of Strongholds. The more you teach yourself to control your thought the less they control you and the less chance there is for thoughts to manifest as actions.

Not to mention, record numbers of true believers just aren't getting married, and many are getting married in their late 20s or even into their 30s. I believe satan is using many things to achieve this; men not spiritually maturing until later in life and women simply not respecting men.

It is an invention of God, to produce new souls. Do not act against God's work. Stop babbling and start your reproduction. If still possible. God don´t love those who don't know what this all is good for. He needs replacement for his zoo dwellers.

I know

Amen

Amen !

@@readyfortheworld9232 be Praying for u

@@kingaizen5830 Thank you - Blessings !

Until u reference the word used for lust. In greek Also check pual in romans when he connects it with coveting mathew is about adultery Look at biblical adultery eastins bible dictionary

Good point. Maybe lust is sometimes the result of isolation from the opposite sex. My experience: Too far from the warmth of the fire, you freeze. Get too close and you will burn. A pleasantly warm distance is what is needed to slate one's desire in an abiding, satisfying way, i.e. to have respectful & affectionate relationships with the opposite sex without consumation. May God grant us men victory in this struggle! :-)
