I can’t sit back and watch my sister become more and more corrupt.
She now identifies as bi (doesn’t know I know, I found her secret social media account.) and after spying I found out she was reading (watching?) and viewing sexual lesbian imagery.
I don’t know what to say. I sympathize with her, I used to do the *exact* same thing.
But the thing is I don’t think she wants to repent. I don’t know if she feels guilt from this. I remember the intense guilt I felt after viewing imagery... which eventually lead me to repent and mean it. I know she’s a teenager and her hormones are running wild, maybe this will end? Don’t know.
Advice?

Don't watch lesbian inappropriate content, or any inappropriate content for that matter.

If you need to hide yourself to get information on someone, it's probably none of your business.

In general, pray for yourself first, then once your eye is clear of obstructions pray for her.

I haven’t for 3 years.
I’ve simply suspected my sister walking in my old sinful footsteps and
Boy was I right.
I just want to take action now to help her escape.

Time with Jesus is the only cure.

Will she tolerate reading a great commentary on the life of Christ? Maybe the world's greatest?

The Desire of Ages — Ellen G. White Writings

My guess is she won't tolerate reading details in the life of Christ right now. but Pray for her and the hope that maybe some day she will. Read it for yourself and you may find just the right opening to recommend that she spend some time getting to know the life of Christ.

I understand your concern. My late non-Christian mother had six children. I'm the only one who is a Christian and I'm in my seventies. My dad never became a Christian and he was a narcissist. Some of my children aren't Christians.

Just keep trusting God and always be kind and loving towards your sister. Never criticize her.

If a drowning man won't accept help from rescuers it is difficult to save him.

You cannot force your sister to change, you should not be spying on her, how would you feel if she spied on your secret sins?

What can you do?

We'll be there, maintain the relationship so she can/will talk with you.
Pray ,live a Christ like life before her, and note Jesus never condemned the sinner he was talking to.
If she is talking with you two questions you need.
What do you believe, or why do you believe that?
And
What evidence do you have for that belief? Just be sure you can answer them without saying ' just believe or have faith!' we have to be able to give a Reason for what and why we believe and show it in how we live.

Dear sister,
Pray on your sister’s behalf. Seek the Lord’s mercy. Pray a continuous short prayer of deliverance everyday, and believe that your sister receives the deliverance. Remember the Lord’s conditions that He set for an answered prayer in Mark 11:22-25

This is a prayer that you could pray for her:

The blood of the lamb of God redeem my sister,... from bonds of wickedness and set her completely free in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Persist in prayer until she is made whole !
