• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I need to tell someone about this bondage and attacks from the enemy regarding sexual perversion. All my life since I was a Christian I have wanted to do things Gods way, but when I started going bald at the age of 18, and because of bone disease and the deformaties and severe acne I could never find the courage to do what I needed to do to get a wife. I kept praying for God to help me, but at the same time I was just to nervous to do anything to be able to get married, so I kept going back to masturabation thinking that sex was a normal desire that I needed to do something about. I wanted to believe for God to help me get a wife somehow, but I just couldn't see how it was going to happen with all that was wrong with me. I know now I should have just forgot about that part of life, but for some reason it kept bothering me that I couldn't do things like other men, and get married. I kept getting frustrated and going back to that sin, but I didn't realize at the time that God was that mad at me for problems that I didn't know what to do about. Also because of acne, I took antibotics, like candy and damaged my intestinal tract and came down with another problem that ended up threatening my life. I kept praying for God to help me, and one day he did heal me from whatever was going on with my colon. I also asked him to take away the sexual desire since, I couldn't get a wife, and he took it away, but at the time I thought he took it away, so I wouldn't worry about needing a wife. Then I had a chance to have a wife with a old friend of the family, but again I didn't do what I need to do, because of the way I felt about being bald, and the other deformaties, and also because the sexual desire was gone, I didn't care that much anymore about having a wife. I started falling into hopelessness, frustration, and rebellion because of getting angry over my problem, and ended up going back to that sin. I always believed God would always forgive me, and understand, since I had such strange problems that I didn't know how to fix. I started realizing the devil was deceiving me, but at the same time I would forget or allow the frustration to blind me from what the devil was doing to me. Anyway I didn't realize that things were going bad with God and something got a hold of me that I have been trying to get free from. I started to realize how strange, selfish, and wrong motives I was having over wanting a wife and other things I did wrong, but I still couldn't get free from what I did. I started taking different things to deal with my problem then I was poisoned again, and started getting sick. God has tried to help me several times, but everytime I keep struggling with doubt, weakness because of getting poisoned, and fear over bone disease distraction and lack of help from family and old friends who are not christians. I have been ashamed of telling people about my problem, because I feel like I have been a coward over dealing with all these problems, but for some reason I couldn't seem to control the nervousness that kept be from getting a wife. I don't know why all these bad things happen me and why I went bald at such a young age, and why I had to break bones, and have such severe acne. I wish I could have realized what these problems were doing to my life, but because I was suppose to have faith, I tried to deal with things on my own, and I thought when Jesus came back I would be healed, but at the same time I remember feeling guilty over this problems, which at the time I thought it was the devil trying to keep me from having faith. I realized now that I wasn't being as obedient as I was suppose to be, because I thought we were saved by faith. I realize now that obedients is faith, but at the time I thought I was trying to keep the law to be saved if I had to keep all the commandments. Its not that I wanted to sin, its just I kept having this trouble with all these problems and dealt with them the wrong way. I want to deal with them the right way, and not get discouraged, but something keeps coming against real bad and trying to make me sin. I don't want to do wrong, and I want to have the courage to do right and not let these physical problems effect me. I thought for awhile that I had got over my shyness, and was going to stop worrying about the physical problems, but then I got sick and the low self image and hopelessness started coming against me again, along with all the other problems. I am still trying to fight all these things that are coming against me, and praying God will help me. I have also been afraid of God delivering me because of the bone disease and concerned my body will shake and I will break a bunch of bones and die without making up for all the wrong I have done. Also the other day i thought I was going to die, because I started getting real sick, and I because I was worried about all I have done wrong I was worried about going to hell, so I told the devil to help me, because I didn't know where God was, but now I realze that maybe the devil was lying to me, because I was going by my feelings. I denounced what I said and did, but things got worse and now I am more scared than I was before. I didn't want to do something so foolish. I want God, and was praying for him to help me. I wish I could have kept thinking on the fact that he has tried to help me through this several time, but when I got sick my brain was so messed up, because of getting poisoned. I temporarly lost my memory, but at the same time my mind was flooded with things I did wrong. I realize now it was the devil, because if my mind couldn't remember anything how were the thought of the things I did wrong coming up. I have been really tricked by the devil, over everything, and I am so tired of this. God please save me from the devil, sickness and the selfish and foolish ways I did things, in Jesus name. Please help me repent and turn from my wicked ways, in Jesus name.

Trusting God is always the right answer. He forgives you for all of your sins as soon as you ask him to, but you must forgive yourself too. Please read the scriptures that Glory suggested daily and Pleading the blood over your household and family is a great way to start each day. The minute you are having a negative thought, realize that it is not of God but of Satan and cast it out by speaking God's word such as " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". If you start each day in God's word eventually Satan won't waste any more time with you. I will pray for you. Please read this article called "God's Prescrpiton for a Sound Mind" for I know it will help you God bless.

Heavenly Father, I know that ALL things are possible with you. In Jesus name I pray that each of our brother's needs are met according to your will. Cover him in the blood of Jesus proctecting him from all forms of evil and draw him close to you. Thank you for leading him here in prayer for it means you are already working on this. Amen!:pray:

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

You will be in my prayers for your strength and healing.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us, and increase Your mercy in us, so that in difficult moments we might not despair, nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves to Your Holy Will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen

Praying, my dear brother.
God loves you, totally, unconditionally and forever.
He has taken your sin... when He spoke the words 'It is finished' the victory was won.
You are loved, forgiven and made righteous.. let Him deal with the past, and concentrate on spending time with Him now.
:hug: God bless you.

Father God, I pray that You will work out all the self esteem problems that this one has and show him that You love him regardless of the things he thinks are holding him back. Forgive him his past and help him to start a new future full of hope, help deliver him from temptation, and bless him with a wife to share his life with, In Jesus Name, Amen.

Well, yours was the last post I had my cursor (and eyes) on before I closed my eyes and randomly scrolled up and down. When I let go of the keyboard, the cursor was back on your post. This is the second time it has happened to me, so I think God is telling me, “Don’t play “luck of the draw” with peoples’ prayers.”


Reread Matthew brother.


God, I thank you for this faithful brother. Give him the peace that you have prescribed us; bring Him closer to the Word. Show him that Your “yoke is easy and Your burden is light” (Matt 11:30). Release his worldly bonds, and give him out-of-this-world fulfillment. In Jesus’ name, amen.
