Satan loves secrets so I must tell....

[hpnotiqpnk]

I just have to get this out. I am trying to follow the word of God and to live like he's coming back any minute, but recently I've been looking at porn on the internet. During the day I watch christian TV and at night I touch in front of the computer while viewing porn. I need help cause I just recently started this again.

Oh dear, do you realize that Satan is lieing to you and your body saying that you need to do those thing?

If you want God to be in control of your life, you must be pure. You can't compromise with the devil because he LOVES that, just like secrets.

"God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of ALL sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honor." -- 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4


"Prove by the ways you live that you have really turned your sins and turned to God.... Yes every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire" -- Matthew 3:8 &10

"If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for me, you will find it." -- Matthew 10:39

Congradulations on revealing your secret. It takes a lot of courage because others can encourage you!

First of all, I'd advise you to keep up the first activity, living for God and watching Christian TV shows and obviously, quit the second activity. As you say you've just started it again, now would be a good time to escape before you get sucked in too much. Some people find this kinda thing develops into an addiction, by which point it would be much harder to quit. I'd advise you to run from it now at this early stage, and ask God for forgiveness; also thank Him for getting you out of it quickly. You don't wanna get involved in this kinda thing, porn and lust, its all sin and doesn't lead anywhere good.

Speaking from experience, by the way.

Hello hypnotiqpnk and all.


Could ya'll pray for me as Well? I go a long time with it then a long time without it, several times a year.


See now that i've willfully done all this, my mind is MESSED UP. I mean, i can't think just NORMAL Sexual Sinful thoughts anymore, they have become UNnatural.

And please pray God lets me marry even though i've screwed up so many times.

 

[Psalmangel]

Indeed, it is good to marry, immediately, once we're old enough to do so, to avoid sexual sins.

Marriage is a very serious, lifelong commitment. It is not to be rushed into just because you can't control your hormonal urges!!! I can't believe what I'm seeing here. Rushing into marriage will only set you up for heartache, disappointment and possible divorce later. Take your time. Grow up a bit first, gain some life experience (you know, at least hit your 20s for cryin' out loud), take the time to find someone you connect with deeply on an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual level. Believe it or not, sex isn't everything, even though it seems like it when those cravings come. But you have to pray, and be sober, and self-controlled, and make good, solid, sound decisions when choosing a life partner. Please don't rush into marriage just because you're "horny". That's just not smart.

Good advice if I've ever heard it!

I think what you need OP is to disassociate masturbation with porn. The porn is addictive and pollutes your mind. Masturbation is addictive as well ... but it doesn't pollute your mind.

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Idleness exploits our areas of greatest weakness. If you are bored then the internet is not the way to spend time. Removing a problem area from our life requires replacing it with something edifying or else we will end up in the same position again.

You are not alone. Being female even. You're human, and the internet and the vices available on it aren't interested in whether or not a person is male or female.

You'll get there one day. You will.

As an aside, perhaps this is a testimony to the usefulness (or lack thereof) of "Christian" television.

You seriously need to stop advocating marriage as a way to avoid sexual sin. It just doesn't work that way. If you want your marriage to last, you need to deal with your sexual brokeness BEFORE you get married.

I also was addicted to pornography and it has been around 3-4 months since I've stopped. Prayer is the answer, that is what set me free.

Also, if you have Norton Internet Security or something similar you can access parental control and block sites with sexual content. You can create a random password (just type without looking) and then you'll have no way to look at pornography. Edit: Instead of a random password, you could use a Christian one. If ever you needed the password you'd have it, but to sin you'd need to type in a Christian password, which would be very difficult to do.

Here's a prayer for you that I used to stop my addiction:

Dear Lord Jesus, I'm a sinner and admit being one. I watch pornagraphy and admit having an addiction. I ask you to enter my heart now and to help me fight the Devil and his temptations. He leads me astray and away from your love, please help me fight him. The Devil is the Father of all lies, please help me fight them and rebuke them in your name. I accept your death on the cross and ask for you forgiveness, please cleanse me with your precious shed blood.

In your Beautiful Holy Name, I love you Lord Jesus,
Amen.

Now that is great advice... I think I'll take that on board for myself....
