Hello everyone, I've been struggling with porn addiction and masturbation for many months now, and I've began to understand that an important and fundamental key in this process is to have an accountability partner, so I'm writing this to see if any mature Christian or someone who is struggling with the same things would like to be my accountability partner and help me with this? Please let me know, thank you everyone!

The best way to avoid it that I've found, is to not think of doing it for yourself. To not think of doing it from your own strength, or from the strength of God. The best way I've seen to avoid it, is to realize, that it doesn't just anger God when you do it, it hurts Him. It's literally hurting His heart, it's breaking His heart. He loves you, and has given up, sacrificed, and willed and hoped so much for you to have the ability to enter into His rest, and into eternity with Him, and lowering yourself, and the entire body of Christ into the act of masturbation, the act of ultimate lust, it's like bruising and hurting His heart.

This is the only way I've been able to stop. Out of a love for Elohim, for the Father, for Abba. It's the only thing that has been able to curve my desire. The fear of disappointing, of falling short, of hurting, of angering, of turning away from Him. I have caved, I'm not perfect, but it's helped. That, and I'll even give you my number. Whenever we feel the urge, we can text one another, and remind each other of why it's important to avoid the pitfall of it. And we can help rebuild one another, and edify one another. The best thing to do, is to pray for the strength to overcome. The second you feel the urge, drop to your knees, and pray that you won't desire it, more than you desire Him. Message me, and I'll give you my number, or we can just message on here for holding one another accountable, either way, I gotchyu brotha. Well, God's got us, but, I'll do my best.

Wow man I had never seen it like that before; it's really impactful and truly changes everything. I've experienced the presence of the Lord in amazing ways and seen how he has used me to speak the Gospel with people in multiples occasions, but this struggle has been such a distraction and it's stopped all spiritual growth. I appreciate so much that you want to help me through this! That's really a blessing brother, I'd like to have your number so we can talk more in depth about this issue; it's sometimes shameful to talk about these kind of battles but I know that it's a way to humble myself before the Lord and being honest with others, and if this will put me closer to God 100% willing heart. Thank you very much Devin P and hope to hear from you soon to edify one another and grow in faith and toward sanctification!
