  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi, I recently came out about my porn addiction for the first time last night and I know it is a huge wall in my relationship with Jesus. I am trying to stop but after a week or so, I find myself looking at it again. I would be so blessed by it if you would pray for me and if one or a few of you would message me once a week to see how I'm doing and to hold me accountable. Thank you so much for your prayers and time.

I have been where you are at. I did 58 months in prison because I wasn't satisfied with just regular porn.
But, I have been delivered.
It was not easy.
It required a lot of meditation in the Word, finding out who I was in Christ and learning how much God loves me and that He really has forgiven me.
I am in Grand Rapids, Michigan. If you want to e-mail me just use my name at hotmail.com.

Father, I pray Jake will put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20 every day before he puts on his natural clothes. I pray that he will "eat" Your Word before he eats natural food (Matthew 4:4; Job 23:12; Jeremiah 15:16). I pray that he will dress for battle before the battle, as a soldier or SWAT team does. I pray that he will experience victory in this way; victory over the devil, temptation, the flesh, etc. You have provided us the way of victory; so may we use it. May we be as serious about the invisible, spiritual battle, as we would be if we could see it with our natural eyes. Amen.

Made me cry a little. Thank you.

it is written all things are possible to them that believe. Sin if we know Christ as lord..has NO MORE hold on us. Its a LIE! No sin has ANY right to HOLD on or keep us in bondage unless we allow it. I KNOW it SEEMS some sins have a really good hold on us. But we walk by faith not sight or how we feel.

So.. when things start to creep in.. take a cold shower.. go for a walk..or run lol. See greater is HE that is in you then he thats in the world. Jesus said.. behold I give YOU power.......and over all the power of the enemy and NOTHING shall by any means hurt you. You HAVE the power within you NOW to brake this chain in JESUS name. To have new desires and thoughts. Read Psa 4.. read it every night.

Know that.. I am not saying things that sound good. I speak of only what I KNOW....yeah..you have REALLY been set free in JESUS name. He NEVER EVER makes a mistake! The enemy has just lied to you....yeah.. you DONT have to keep this thing.. it has NO RIGHTS! JESUS paid it ALL! Praise GOD glory to JESUS! .. in JESUS name

Finally,my brethren whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and if there be any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, think on these things.
Jesus is all of these things.

Hello, friend. I appreciate you reaching out for prayers. God loves you with an incomprehensible love. I’m joining you in praying for the Lord to give you all that you need to get you past your struggle with pornography. I encourage you to take a look at Pure Intimacy - a website that contains resources designed to assist both men and women in the pursuit of sexual purity. Grace and peace to you.

Praying for you JakeBakes. May God help you overcome this addict and cleanse your heart and restore you into righteousness. Seek out his forgiveness & mercy.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

Father, I ask that You will open @JakeBakes' eyes to Your Truth. I pray that You will enable him see your perspective of this sin juxtaposed with Your love for people. Guide Him to safety, and show him how to pray and what actions to take as You disentangle him from the enemy's snare. Let him see the victory he already has in You. Raise up the people he has asked for to support him through this. :praying:

Praying for you brother. Its a strong addiction but one you can overcome. Best way is to nip it in the bud. as soon as you get the urge or lustful thoughts, rebuke it in Jesus name and surround yourself in prayer and praise music. Getting free from it is a process so don't give up if you find your path to freedom a bit bumpy.

Here are also a few links that you may find useful..
