Hi Brother,

First off, get rid of anything that is feeding lust. That means if comic books lead you to porn then get rid of comic books. If it's the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, get rid of it. You do not need anything to start you thinking about lust. Don't feed lust any more.

Romans 13:14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Romans 12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Anything else that gets you started thinking about it that you had come across, then bring that thought and imagination into captivity with His help.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Colossians 3:1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Philippians 4: 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Remember that Christ is in you and is fully aware of your thoughts and what you are looking at. Trust Him to help you walk as His friend.

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure....8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Rid your home of everything that has to do with porn, including your computer, if need be. "If your eye offends you, pluck it out!" the Bible says. Porn is a demon. You have to fight it with spiritual weapons...Repentance is the first step, then utilize the Blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, and the word of your testimony. Revelation 12:11 says, "They overcame him (the devil) by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony." What is your testimony? Have you been bought by the Blood of Jesus? Tell the devil that! If you have not sold yourself completely to Jesus Christ by accepting the Price He paid for your deliverance from sin, today is the day to do it.

Romans 12:1 says: "I plead with you, dear Christians friends, that you present your bodies unto God as a living sacrifice (denying your carnal desires) living a pure life, which is the only sacrifice He will accept. When you consider the suffering He did for you, this sacrifice on your part is only reasonable. Don't copy the evil customs and behavior of this sinful world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing your thought patterns (through prayer, study of God's Word, through meditating on His ways) Only then can you prove God's perfect will and desire for your life.

Pleading the Blood of Jesus is a legal term, like pleading the 5th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States will give you immunity against self-incrimination; pleading the Blood of Jesus will give you immunity against the attacks of the devil.

When you feel the demon urge of pornography, plead the Blood of Jesus against it. Then, turn away from it in Jesus' name and find something else to occupy your mind. Put on praise music and sing to the Lord. If you really want to be free, God will set you free. If you are sincere, Jesus will truly set you free. "He that the Son sets free is free, indeed!"

Romans 8:13 says, "If you live after the flesh, you will die a spiritual death in Hell. But, if you, through the Holy Spirit turn away from the evil deeds of the flesh, you will live an abundant life here on earth and eternal life in Heaven.

If you're going to be anything for God, be 100%. Nothing else is acceptable to Him.
You are in my prayers.

If you're going to be anything for God, be 100%. Nothing else is acceptable to Him.

It is not about being "for" God, but recognizing God is "for" us now that we have been bought with a price and sealed as His. Our confidence should rest in the Lord that He will finish His work in us: He has overcome the world: and because He has overcome the world, He shall overcome porn addiction in any believer that seeks His help & entrusting Him to do His work.

Since we could not save ourselves: then neither can we follow Him religiously bydoing the best we can when His standard is higher than the works of the law. That means we have to surrender from any man-made commitment, promises, vows, or whatever religious yoke of bondage if we are truly going to trust Him 100% to do His work in us for us to overcome.

Saying, "Lord Jesus, save me..." is all one has to do for eternal life.

Saying, "Lord Jesus, save me from my sins.." is trusting Him to do it because He is the only way we can live that reconciled relationship with God and that is THROUGH Jesus Christ as the just shall live by faith.

John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.

Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:...
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

You are in my prayers.

All believers need to do that.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you....21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

So let us be in an agreement and trust the Lord to deliver boywonder123 from his sins. to remove all the temptations that feeds that lust, and to find a better hobby for his leisurely time.

Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Dear friend,

Don't repeat the devil's lies.

The Apostle Paul wrote to the Roman church in chapter 8 verses 12 to 14 and it says this:

"So, dear Christian friends, you have no obligation whatsoever to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you keep on following it, you will perish (eternally). But if through the power of the Holy Spirit you turn from your sinful nature and its evil deeds, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God."

It isn't enough to just pray the "sinner's prayer" and then you're done and the rest is up to God. You have to pursue the things that please God. Read the whole book of Romans. It will help you.

You have a choice. Choose life!

[FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]I suggest you start by googling testimonies of Christians who have been set free from an addiction to pornography, there are many and what God has done for others He will also do for you. [/FONT]


[FONT=Palatino Linotype, serif]Don't give up hope, there is an answer in God.[/FONT]

Every guy almost struggles with these sins, God wont kill you or hate you because of it, if you ask forgiveness He will forgive you and help you, if your willing to get help...

Set up a goal, think like this, if you live pure without porn, you will have a healthier mindset and you wont be a slave to the addiction. Pornography can bring demons and cause havoc in ones life if one dosent stop quickly enough.

pray for mw please!

You need to fast from your computer and any other device which gives you access to pornography. Pack it away and give it to a friend and tell them not to give you it back to you for a few weeks. Use that time to get in touch with the Lord and work this out through prayer and fasting. I'm not saying fast the whole time but a day here and there, as much as you can do. Skip meals if you can't do a day.

Remember that you can't stop doing this on your own. You are powerless to stop sinning without the power of the Holy Spirit transforming you on the inside. Read Micah 7:19 to see that the Lord promises to subdue our sins for us. Admit your powerlessness to stop and lay it down at the Lords feet. Surrender full control to Him. He doesn't want to condemn you, He wants to restore you. Jesus said in John 15:5 that apart from Him we can do nothing. Nothing means nothing, including stopping from sinning. The problem isn't the porn, it's your lack of self-control. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit and so keep petitioning the Spirit for help. You have no self-control without His help. Release this at a heart level and He will empower you to quit.

One suggestion that may help. When these issues become apparent, place yourself in a situation that makes it difficult to be tempted. Example: Move your computer to a shared room with others so the temptation is eliminated, and you will not have to give up access to CF.

I to have struggled with porn and like you have struggled with the cycle of sin/ repent and sin again. Honestly I didn't feel like repenting anymore because I knew I would at some point just do it again. It seemed so hypocritical. I found new strength when I prayed and simply to Jesus that I surrendered my sexuality to Him. Who better and who safer than Jesus to be Lord over our sexuality. Honestly I felt free, now temptation will eventually come to challenge my stand but since Jesus is Lord over that part of my life, it sure makes it easier to say no. Don't go where you know it will cause you to sin. Praying for your freedom as well.

It seems there are lots of practical words of wisdom. Moving the computer, tossing temptations and reminders. . . . but it seems that these things are of our own strength. To wit, toss all these things and whilst checking e-mail, your e-mail server will post a daintily clad chick in an advertisement.

I agree with tossing the more obvious items, but I think the been-there-done-that wisdom is to pursue a deeper relationship with Him, with all due haste.

Perhaps picking and following a few spiritual disciplines come to mind--regular fasting, prayer, Christian meditation, study, reading of scripture, finding the solitude you need, worship on your own time, fellowship (church and in other places). Perhaps a slight re-prioritizing of your daily activities--Matthew 6: seek ye first the Kingdom--first before work, recreation, family.

Tossing things is the outward action. But that MUST be done from a position of inner strength--His strength--not just a movement of our will.

Then the billboards in town (or the almost naked female in the weight loss ads on this site) won't even phase you.

Boywonder123, become son (Jesus) conscious and not sin conscious. Focus on Jesus and His finished work at the cross because the more you focus on Jesus, the more grace (undeserved, unearned, unmerited favor of God) and peace is multipled to you:

2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV
GRACE AND PEACE BE MULTIPLIED TO YOU IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND OF JESUS OUR LORD, [3] as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, [4] by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Keep receiving God's grace and His gift of righteousness and you will effortlessly reign over any habit.

Rom 5:17 YLT for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who THE ABUNDANCE OF THE GRACE AND OF THE FREE GIFT OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS are receiving, in life shall reign through the one--Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:17 NLT
For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is GOD'S WONDERFUL GRACE AND HIS GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.

Even when you are in the midst of your addiction, say these words:

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! Say them over and over.

I read some great responses to your request. I would like to add this. Mostly all addictions are driven by underlying emotional pain. The pain in turn are usually produced by beliefs we learned as we were raised in this broken fallen sinful world. We all have come to false conclusions like "I am not good enough" etc. These beliefs will produce painful emotions that we in turn will try to resolve with "feel-good" pain managing behavioral patterns. Once the "lies" in our mind are resolved the pain eases and we don't need the "solution for the pain" anymore!! Jesus is the only One that can directly address these lies! For more info feel free to visit my website at tastelifeconsultancy.com Lastly you will do well to talk openly to a christian you trust In James 5 we are encourage to confess our sins openly to one another and allow someone in the body to pray for us so that we might be healed!

First off, I think you need to do a general cleanup.get rid of all pornographic materials on your home including magazines, pictures, DVDs, etc. When you are on the internet, avoid such sites too. Porn is known to be one of the greatest instruments used by the devil to grab us from God.

It is also important to focus on more valuable things. When you feel you are being tempted to view pornographic materials, read something else. The Bible is also an important instrument that can keep you away from porn. Ask for God's guidance and you can overcome it.

My boyfriend is currently seeking help for his sexual addiction. He was also addicted to porn. You should find a support group and a 12 step program. You can google an SAA program. They put religion into the program. I will be praying for you though. If you feel like u want to talk to another addict, you can PM and i can try to get u in contact with my boyfriend. I know support helps.
