@jss.2020 would love you in the group
I'm single but I signed up to join I hope it's okay I really need the fellowship 🙏.
@RonnelHamilton excited to have you I u in the community and get to know you Ronnel.
@@ZechNewman I appreciate it brother I'm looking forward to getting to know you as well
Guys just read Romans 6, Galatians 5, the devil has no power over you, sin has no power over you. Putting it simply you are the president and the devil is a peasant, if you believe he has power over you, you will submit to him and sin. Once you realize that because of Christs sacrifice you have the spirit of God and have authority over the devil you will walk in freedom. Stop trying to achieve freedom, you are already free. Christ died so that you could be free from sin, start living it. Let me know if you have any questions :)
I appreciate your heart in wanting to help others. Have a blessed day today 🙏
Amen this is so true Hosea 4:6
Bro. I have so much faith in gods power, And I know the devil is such a powerless being, I pray every time to hope I don’t do it again, Even in Jesus’s name, I tell myself that its meaningless and The Holy Spirit within me will rid it of myself. Nothing ever happens. I still have faith but why?
Glory to Jesus! Yes perspective is everything! Understanding what you just mentioned is key to live in victory! We Also need to be filled with the Holy Ghost that makes the difference (Acts 19:2-6).
Thanks I'm going to share this
Porn is not just an addiction its a habit. Develop a healthy habit & routine with the lord. It takes time. I highly recommend stacking. So I immediately start the day with God praying then straight into meditating then read my bible then gym or exercise. perform each task leading straight into the next. Ask God to be on your mind every minute & every hour all day. Stay blessed all. lets pray for each other.
So true. Thanks for sharing
Hallelujah 🙌🔥
Amen
Amen, true words of wisdom …
Any self medication that changes that accentuates the the rewards chemicals can easily become a addiction as it changes the frontal lobe. See dr Ahmen clinics on during after brain scans.
I've been struggling with this filthy addiction for 25 yrs. It has ruined past relationships and altered my life in such a negative way. Please pray for me and others who want to be free of this sin. In Jesus Christ, amen🙏
Praying for you!
Praying for you. The struggle is real
Than you, Lord Bless!
Prayers for you.
I'm paraphrasing but it's something like 'the power in you is greater than the temptation outside of you!'
That little voice that suggests going there, rebuke it!
Once you crack it; you'll wonder what the heck you were ever thinking!
I know you got this coz you've already reached out.
Now apply your strength and courage!
God bless!
I’m in this very same struggle and I’m sick and tired of it. Frustrating and furious I want to be free of this sexual sin 😢
Praying for you now.
@@ZechNewman 🙏🏽 Thankyou
Decades of this addiction. 6 years trying to quit. Wife left me twice. Took me back after seeing me try so hard but fail. We accepted it as "who I am and just my nature". Was let go deeper and deeper; eventually it became demonic. I was a very hard head. It took me being broken down physically, emotionally, and spiritually to finally go to Jesus with my heart right in desperation. Jesus met me where I was and saved me. Days later; I knew I had to stop the porn. Not my idea by the way; not my idea at all. In fact when it came to me I had to stop; I was so sick and broken that I begged God to let me keep it. I asked why over and over must it go? Jesus told me only this in my mind "Because it comes between you and me". He also did something to my heart and I knew the conversation was over and this was not a ask; it was a command. 7 months clean; through grace of God :)
I'm telling you this because I know how impossible stopping seems. It is like being asked to lift a house with your bare hands. Here is the good news; you get right with Jesus and God will help you. In my case he wanted to see my effort; but if I could only lift 200 lbs; he was willing to lift all of the difference so that I could succeed. He told me early on; you will stumble and you will fall but you will return to the path. Build your relationship with Jesus and God will oversee your development so long as you work in earnest with him.
Praise God. Thanks for sharing!
I am a woman so I am not the right demographic for this video but I’m struggling with porn addiction for the past 12 years. I’m not a heavy consumer by any means but it still taken a hold in my life until now. I thought I could be done with this addiction as my walk with God is going strong but I’m sad to admit I relapsed a day ago. I’m thankful for this video that it encourages me to admit my failings and to receive support from my brothers and sisters in Christ. My heart’s desire is to walk in holiness before the Lord and to overcome this sin completely and I know by the grace of God I can do this
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your transparency. You are welcome here. I'm praying for you, sister in Christ.
You're not alone, whether you're a man or woman. Please remember that Yeshua loves you, and he WILL be your strength even when you have strength and especially when you don't.
Seek out a godly woman to come along side you. Not a man; in fact, probably no man.
That would be wonderful to overcome this sin. May you be blessed as you seek Him.
@@ZechNewman thank you so much 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it
@@duanemcdaniel9642 Thank you, will keep this in mind
I need healing from this torment. May God guide and bless all of us who are suffering from this sickness. ☦️
Praying for you
God is not dead,, friend. He forgives, he heals, he changes us and keeps us. Look @ Israel: over and over they strayed from God into idolatry (porn is idolatry), ignored the warnings from his prophets ('rising up early and sending'). God always received them back, and promised restoration..tho consequences of the sin yet remain (ex.: David). He is FOR YOU, bro! Simply call out to him in humble faith, he WILL answer!
@@doJ79 🙏🙏🙏
Amen
AMEN !
I've been struggling with this sin for over fifty years !! Lord Jesus help me to over come this !! I thank you JESUS for your help in this in Jesus name AMEN AMEN AMEN
I'm praying for you!
What did you do to overcome this? What's the secret?
Fast
I am addicted for over a decade... it's a bondage...I know the Lord has set me free...Amen.
Free indeed. I'm praying for you 🙏
Thank you...God bless you @@ZechNewman
@@daroitm9616 God bless you!
Whats helping for me is realizing that porn became a LIFESTYLE, not *just* an addiction. Biggest thing i had against porn too was filling my life with other thibgs instead of having nothing to do throughout the day
Thanks for sharing, Jake. I definitely think bordem adds to the draw. Glad your finding victory!
This has also helped me combat it
@@ZechNewman l there my name is David yes please pray for me l am struggling with porn from time to time and also sometimes to my shame l also got involved with using call Girls l live on my own l would love to meet a godly Christian Woman please sir can you pray l have lots of Christian Brothers who are helping me with this thank l will also pray for you In Jesus Christ name Amen amen amen
I am 28 years old I still struggle with pornography and masturbation. It never fails I always feel guilty and shameful afterward. It’s been a few days now and I don’t ever want to go back. I am ready to become free from my addiction! I feel so much better when I don’t do it please pray for me. I know God has the perfect wife out there for me somewhere.
God Bless 🙏
Thank you for your authenticity. I'm praying for you Cody!
🙏✝️💕
Father, please remove any guilt, shame, or inner turmoil that this individual is struggling with. May this individual leave his struggles at the cross, that Jesus died on for all of our sins. In Jesus might name 🙏🏽
Cody, it's that shame and guilt that Satan uses to separate you from God..... start your day Inviting God into every part of your day, asking him to fill you with the Holy spirit! Stay busy!!! This is key. If you are not busy, then you have time to pray and read scripture! When tempted, speak out loud demanding Satan leave you at once in The powerful and Holy name of Jesus! If it helps me, it can help anyone... hahahaa. I'm weak when alone. Keep Jesus close to your heart... it's our only protection
@@frankmalc1135thank you frank.. i needed it. Love from India.
Lately I have been trying to be a better Christian. I've been praying more and valuing church every week. Tonight I took a step and decided to read the bible for the first time in months. After sitting down, something compelled me to read James for the first time. I didn't know why I was reading it until I reached chapter 5, verse 16: "Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective." I was stunned. God returned me to the verse you explained in this video.
I had not gave into lust since I watched this video yesterday, and I now know that this is the path to follow. Thank you for the guidance.
@treypoling that's so awesome! God is so cool, and His word is alive. Thanks so much for sharing your testimony of God's guiding hand.
Although I’m very happy you are reading your Bible again and turning away from lusting I must kindly point out that in the KJV Bible that verse says confess your faults to one another and not your sins. We confess our sins to God and ask for his forgiveness which only he can grant and not our fellow brothers and sisters in God. God bless and keep reading your Bible and praying, nothing better.
I'm struggling with the same addiction to watching porn and masturbation. I've tried all ways to quit for around 12 years now, but to no avail, I still go back. Coming through this video has sparked a change inside me, and I think this is it, guys. So put me in your prayers this being day one, I know with time I'll conquer this demonic spirit and be free from the chains of ponography and masturbation. Thanks for the video and God bless you all.
Thank you for sharing. I'm praying for you now 🙏
Thanks God bless you sir 🙏
This is actually a really beautiful verse, I'm 15 and this is a battle for me, pray for me, I'm slowly starting to be healed, but continue to pray for me, Thanks.
Praying for you!
Thank you for this message! I’ve been struggling for a long time and then I escaped it for a while but then fell back into it. The reason I fell back into it was because I started to forsake my first love in Christ. I started to go my own way and pray and rely on God less. This gave an opportunity for the devil to come in and tempt me. Then one sin lead to another all the way to where I am now. I think that one of the most important things to remember is to not live in despair. The devil knows he can’t pluck us out of God’s hand so he tries to make us feel unforgiven and live in despair instead. We are forgiven and redeemed by the holy blood of Jesus! We have been bought with a price and are forever loved! Glory to God! Amen.
Thanks for sharing your story. It's so true. We are a royal priesthood. Righteous and chosen. Praying for you as you reconnect to the vine and put Him first.
@@ZechNewman Thank you brother!
that's exactly how it went for me on my spiritual journey. you're not alone brother. I'll pray for you
@@bless8202 Thank you! I’ll pray for you too!
You show the real fruit of the spirit - Glory to Jesus for He has saved you and we know this because you testify that you forgot your first love and it hurts you very deeply to realize this. This is a sign of true salvation. Come back to the Family - come back to Our Father.
I'm fed up and tired of my sin. I thank you for sharing your advice on it. I don't know how to confess my sin to anyone about it. Most people I know aren't Christian so they won't understand and I don't feel like I can confess it to my family because I'm too ashamed. But I'm over caving into my desires. God bless you for sharing.
Praying for you and that you find community.
@@ZechNewman thank you brother.
Hi bro. Be bold and talk to JESUS in prayers. Find out a brethern in your town and confess it by your mouth. You will get your delivrance.
@@ZechNewmanthe bible is made up fiction
I have been struggling with this for years now. Sometimes I go for a long time but still fall back into. Please keep me in prayer!
Praying for you, Joshua.
This video is 6:33 minutes long and it reminded me of Matthew 6:33 (Seek first the kingdom of God)🙌🏾🙌🏾
That's awesome! I love how God works in ways we aren't aware of.
I really appreciate this video. As someone who’s struggled with this for 25 years and who recently got married, it definitely took a step for me in the right direction.
Congratulations on the marriage! Praying for you 🙏
Dude this video is so right. I've been in the trenches of this sin for a long time and I've found that talking about it with others is truly the only way to motivate yourself to overcome such a challenge. Thank you for this video, Praise God for putting it in my recommendations. Pray for me my brothers, and may the Lord bless you all.
@zoinksscoob5077 Thanks so much for watching and the encouragement. I'm praying for you now!
i had to really get to why porn was a sin. And why the temptation isn't the sin but giving into it is. Praying for God to help you
I've been speaking to my pastor about my addiction. I have been more open about it over the past couple years, its not as heavy as it used to be, it used to be a daily battle, now its at most a couple times a week. However that isn't good enough, and I want to end it for good. I recently "gouged my eye" and "cut off my arm" as Jesus said, and I got rid of my smart phone for a basic cell without internet, I enabled blockers on my PC and made it as difficult as possible to bypass. Its not perfect but the less access the better. Some people have told me its weak to just block things and if you are struggling still you aren't praying enough or you aren't right with God, however I believe this is what Jesus meant when He said "And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell."
@@MrArch777 I agree. I'm proud of you for making the choice to close the door to that temptation!
This was a really good decision, good call.
May I ask what blockers you installed on your PC? I've tried to find some with no real luck. Thank you brother. God bless.
@@Disciple_2819 I installed Cold Turkey Blocker, you can lock websites for certain amounts of time. I locked my blocks and hit lock for 13 years and after that you can't disable it. It will have you install a browser extension where it has a feature where if you disable the browser extension after a certain amount of seconds it will force close the browser until you re enable it.
I struggled with porn for many years. I experienced the same thing. Once I confessed it to another brother and my wife, I felt free. I still use them to hold me accountable, but for a few years now, I’ve been free. I still get tempted but it’s no longer a stronghold in my life. Thanks for sharing brother! Keep up the good work!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your testimony.
We need Strength. That's found in Joy and that is found in the Lord. He is our buckler and shield, helmet of salvation etc.
@@StuStevens-rn7rb Amen!
Thanks for sharing this testimony. I'm bound by the same spiritual forces and I always thought I'd stop but I always backslide. Thank God for the verse and I hope Jesus Christ will heal me after this confession. May you pray for me to receive redemption 😢. Hallelujah
I'm praying for you now 🙏
I'm also in this tough addiction. Trying daily to fight it. Please pray for a brother. I pray to overcome this in Jesus Mighty Name Amen.
I'm praying for you! 🙏
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story, brother!
@ConvincedofChristianity thanksbfor the encouragement 🙏
Free for one month now. I almost fell into it again the night before. But praise God I didn't fall completely. I cannot beat this sin of my own strength. Only in His alone. Anyone seeing this can comment and I will pray for you brother and sister. God Bless.
Praying for you!
Pray for me brother😢
I will pray for you
@@EricBesco thank you brother. Mention me in your prayer in the name of jesus i want to be free from lusting.
@@naga_zoroSure thing friend,just plead the blood to cover you,When ok Satan tries to get you to give in,just trust in Jesus and say "In the name of Jesus,get lost Devil,no more!!
Thank you brother in Christ! I've been struggling with this addiction since a teen. I became born again a year ago and since then have had very tough time with this sin, but I'm now 1 month clean thanks to grace of Jesus!
I'd love to confess this problem to a friend in my church, but I'm now part of the worship team which makes the shame around my past with this even worse.
@uranus7561 thanks for sharing, my friend. I understand that being a part of ministry makes it harder to be honest. Praying for you, brother. 🙏
The sacrament of reconciliation is extremely powerful.
Hopefully, we protestants can figure out that we need to confess as well :) Blessings to you, friend.
James 5:16 is the foundation for not only healing but also accountability to keep you from falling and keeping the foundation strong to also help others.
So true.
Glad that verse helps some. I already am open to my wife about my struggles. I’ve tried everything, including putting blocks on my phone in which my wife is the only one who knows the passwords.
@MountainEagle77 I'm praying for you brother 🙏
Needed to hear this 💯. I dont think i would struggle with it while in a relationship, but being single makes it difficult
@@no-yj2cf being single while struggling with this is a challenge! Praying for you
Thank you for your message, this is something that I am struggling with and trying my best to overcome by myself. But I realized that after years of trying by myself that God is the only way. I’m still young but I’m in the process of being willing to listen. Thank you, and God Bless.
That's great! Praying for you
Thank you for this video friend God bless you. Ive been struggling immensely with sexual desire and pornography, i seem to always go back to it at night around this time. This isnt who i am, i repent and am gonna move forward. I'm gonna tell a friend about this and confess my faults and ask for prayer. And you reading this, please pray for me.
Praying for you and proud of you! Praying for freedom and courage, I know telling a friend is scary.
I’ve been going strong without porn for almost 6 months now. I’ve confessed everything to the Lord, and he has made me stronger. I never wanna look back, and hopefully I won’t. I’ve been reading the Lords word and praying daily, and it works! Me talking to God everyday to fix me, strengthen me, and heal me is starting to take place now, and of course every now and then I do feel tempted, but I always shove it aside knowing it’s Satan’s Lies. Pray for me, whoever is reading this, I wish to stay strong for the future, and for the rest of eternity. God bless you all❤️

Glory to God!!! Thanks for share your testimony. I battled with that too. I felt the pressure and the chains of porn. But I'm free right now in Jesus name. It's a daily fight until the end. Love you from 🇵🇷
Praise God! I appreciate you 🙏
What freed me from this addiction was the revelation that my flesh will never change. I will ALWAYS be a porn addict (among other things). And God does NOT expect me to change. What God expects is that once I realize I can not change, I need to embrace the NEW life that He places within all His children the moment they believe. There is an old man and a new man. Using the old man to try and change NEVER works. Transformation arrives when a believer embraces the new life that is within them and that life will operate in its own divine power.
@@eternalsecurityofthesaints9581 Amen. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this. Confession and an accountability partner has certainly made the difference for me.

Me too. Watched so many deliverance videos and nothing worked. Living alone many years after divorce has led to this.
I am a teenager, and I have been, sadly, stuck in this circle of sexual sin. I hope that Romans 6 and Galatians 5 will help me. I would have loved to confess to someone, but I don't have anybody, so I confess to all of you. I hope that all of this will help, as I'm sure I was boubd to break from any sin. I ask you to pray for me, as I will pray for you, people...
Praying for you!
well this verse led me to James 5: 19-20 WHICH I LOVE EVEN MORE! Makes me want to go out an preach n save.. pretty cool verse.
@@bwnco so glad God is speaking to you through His word! Have a blessed day :)
In the OT, oppression was external. In NT, oppression is internal. We fighting a spiritual war between our true selves and our untrue selves. If you fall, get back up. A pious life is just as beautiful as a life that is constantly falling down and getting back up. Just have a little heart for your mind, my brothers and sisters in Christ. Put to rest this metaphysical iniquity. Pluck the “thorn” from your mind and live out the rest of your life in peace 🕊️
God bless you for this…admitting our insufficiency and exposing it to light for help🙏
Thank you, my friend! Praying for you 🙏
I used to struggle for 8 yrs, 12-18 and now 2 months of not looking at it and do not have any desires of it.
That's awesome!
Im 55 and have struggled since being 12. I became a committed Christian 10 years ago but the urge still calls now and then.
Thanks for sharing, John. I'm praying for you 🙏
Access to sin is so easy. We, as soldiers of Jesus Christ, MUST be receiving the word of God: to change our thinking, to see women as God does, to cleanse our hearts and minds from the filth of this world, to be separated from the unholy.
Amen!
As a Catholic this is one of the scriptures that backs the Sacrament of Reconciliation for me.
Many thanks for your help and for this knowledge which will help me a lot in my prayers against pornography 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽
I'm praying for you brother.
Struggling with this now. Will work on it. Thank you for the instruction

I'm so glad. I'm praying for you as you walk out your freedom!
@@ZechNewman freedom will come in the masters timing so many of us try and deal with this ourselves although its not natural or righteous in the spiritual sense its a strong fleshly desire ...this is why we need new bodies at the resurrection....men desire females...females desire men our sexual lives are produced at puberty ...it happens with every creature....like i said before all humanity struggles with this its no different than any other sin.....its great to know that its not secret anymore and its out in the open
Thanks Lord Jesus for every deliverance. May God protect you all from all evil. Amen
Thank you for this video brother I've been struggling for a really long time. I'd appreciate it if you could pray for me. I told God I wanted to leave this sin and I want to keep that promise
I'm praying for you for sure! Proud of you for walking away from the sin.
Thanks. I knew this, but I needed to hear someone who has gone through it say it. Now to find the person. My fear is rejection and ridicule. I know that's not right, but I need to get out of my head and do what I know needs to be done. I want to be free from this. I've been struggling with this since 6th grade, and I'm 59 now. I'm beyond ready for it to be part of my permanent past. Thanks again, and may God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing. I totally understand the fear, and we definitely want to share with trustworthy people. I'm praying for you 🙏

ive experienced lust since i was 10
when i was 13 i realized that it was wrong and also discovered anime
i replaced lust with anime and that worked, but it only worked for about 6 months
after 6 months i fell back into lust and it was only worse than before
the first few times i actually wanted to do it, and then i realized i couldnt stop and have been trying to stop ever since
whenever i had a crush on someone that motivated me to resist longer, and if i was sick or busy i could also resist longer, but i have never been able to resist longer than a week
i became a christian about 11 months ago around my 18th birthday and jesus has definitely helped me to better resist and i have been freed from other sins but i still struggle with lust
i try to read the bible any time i feel tempted and it does help but there are other times that i get tempted and i dont have it in me to read the bible
i want to be freed from this
i want to be obedient to god and faithful to my girlfriend
Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I'm praying for you now! Our mind, when used to viewing pornography goes there quickly. Accountability with a community, confession, memorizing scripture (God renews our mind with His word), and prayer will help!
Anime is very bad for the Christian lifestyle, all of it has sexual themes pretty much constantly and we all know how the women are drawn in them. If you watch anime, you WILL fail to stay away from porn. There is nothing Christian about MOST of them, less than 1% would actually be safe to watch. If you want to be freed, you would stop watching anime. If you dont, you will continue to watch it and tell yourself that its not the reason but my friend it is the reason im 31 used to have same problem.
@@benkenobi8816 thats just not accurate at all
you have not seen much anime if you think that
the amount of anime that are not safe for me as a christian is definitely less than 15%
and i completely avoid those
@@benkenobi8816 looking at the database on myanimelist
if you exclude hentai because i would not consider that to count as anime and you wont find it on streaming services and also i would obviously never watch it
and you also exclude kids anime because theres just too many of them and you can assume that 99% of them would not have any sexual themes
thats leaves 18,780 anime
now im going to also exclude the ones that dont have a score
that leaves 14,452 anime
807 anime labeled as ecchi
i am going to double that to 1614 because a lot of anime that should be labeled as ecchi arent
my original estimation was that about 1 in 8 anime were ecchi just based on my personal experience of choosing completely random anime to watch (now i make sure its not ecchi, gay, or demonic before watching)
i raised that estimation to 15% to give you the benefit of the doubt
but according to these calculations 11.2% of anime are ecchi, closer to my original estimation
the vast majority of anime should be safe for all christians who have struggled with lust
however the line between safe and not safe is different from person to person
the key is finding someone trustworthy who will be your accountability partner.
Very true Kevin
James 5:16
Thanks for watching Jean.
I have that highlighted in my Bible!!
Note that does not mean screaming at the barista you just yanked it
This brother almost described my exact story. Even the verse that he used was pivotal in my life that convicted me to confess. God is good!
Praise God!
Iam struggling with the same sin too, pray for me!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm praying for you now 🙏
James 5: 16, Romans 6 & Galatians 5 Thank You For Posting This Powerful Message. Please Pray for me I really appreciate your Prayers, AMEN 🙏
Thanks for the kind words. I'm praying for you now 🙏
I’m 22 and in this cycle right now and it’s terrible, I’ll ask Christ for forgiveness each night but I feel like I’m failing him cause I just keep going back to the lustful ways. Please pray for me
I'm praying for you! You are not a failure. You are a son of the king!
Go to a priest, a serious priest, a Roman Catholic church and confess. It's liberating.
Only need to pray to god
Bro, you are not alone. I'm 22 as well and have been going back and forth with this for 5 years. I've decided I'd quit again today and take it much more seriously. We're in this fight together. Never give up and you WILL remove it from your life.
not a failure you have the breath of the lord himself he sees you as his own. he loves you no matter what. you got this
I am struggling with it. I am glad your video showed up. I confess and I trust god will help me though this. That way I can honor god in a more perfect way.
I'm praying for you
Reading the Bible helps take away my desire for porn but I still “burn with passion” and it keeps pulling me back to it. I need God to get me on track and give me the wife He has for me. Please pray for me. God bless!
@joshthesmith77 I will be praying for you Josh!
@@ZechNewman Thank you very much! God willing things will get better for me soon. I’ll be praying for you and for God to bless your ministry. May Father God bless you always in Jesus Might Name!
@@joshthesmith77 Thank you :)
Amen brother
Many men even with wives struggle. My wife left many years ago
Thanks for this message. I need serious prayer. I haven't hurt anyone by it. But I'm living an unholy life.
I'm praying for you.
0:28 i always tried to scare myself with hell videos and hell testimonies.. 😅
I hear you:)
hey, i actualy just watched it to scare myself out of it lol
I took a step class at my church years ago, and it was for hatred towards people, but because of that, I learned a whole bunch of ways to look at it through the Bible to help me overcome not only that but pornography too. God is good!😊
Praise God! Thanks for sharing Josh.
There is only 1 way out of Hell. Read verses Romans 10:9-13, John 14:6, John 3:16-17 & John 3:36 & believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, confess with your mouth & make Him your Lord
Thank u so much for ur openness!!!! I went thru the same thing and have been approached with confession. Thank u for the guidance of scripture!!! God is definitely using u brother!!
Keep on keepin on!!
Thank you, Joey!
If you enjoyed this video here is the verse that helped me desexualize my brain: ua-cam.com/video/6ydctjFUFcI/v-deo.html
The devil loves it when people feel defeated. God Himself said that sex (the way of a man with a maid) is one of the most wonderful things (Proverbs 30:19). He's a good God so He made the first blessing (multiply and replenish the earth) to be ecstatic. The only thing is that it was not to be done in public. The devil knew that if he could get people to do it openly, it would be a huge distraction (remembering that after the fall of man, God covered them and required us to be clothed). If you as a man, regard the naked body of a woman to be attractive, or sex to be amazing, you're a normal human being. But when you are full of the Holy Spirit there comes a point where you see the devil behind the immoral acts of sinners (strippers, porn stars etc) and you just can't sit and admire it. It kindles a fire in your bones to save the world from straying into perdition.
I need someone to confess my sins too. Another trusted human being. I confess my sins to God on a daily basis and sometimes more than once a day. But to practice James 5:16 I need a trusted brother in Christ. Thank you.
Praying for you!
@@ZechNewman Thank you Zech. I will pray for you this evening as well.
I stopped I'm But I'm still struggling with this.
I'm praying for you 🙏
@@ZechNewman thanks bro!
Thank you for sharing on this! Praise God! I'm 63 yrs old, still working on my journey! I call this spiritual warfare, as I pray and ask the Lord to help gird me with his Full Armor so I can thwart the arrows of the devil, that this cycle of my life is a sneaky way the devil want to distance me from God. I'm thankful for men's ministries, and learning more scripture has helped me in my life grow and progress in my walk with the Lord. Been married 40+ years, [the grace of God!] Thanking God for my wife! Praying all the time! Thanking our Lord for his Grace! Still working on this!
Thanks for your transparency! It's definitely spiritual warfare. I'm praying for you 🙏
I am a woman. I have been struggling with pornography and masturbation since I was 17. and I am 26 now. and I wonder if I am the only woman and suffered with this addiction please if there are women like me. I would like help

thank you so much for this video man. I struggle a lot with my anger (wrath) and it's very difficult. But you are amazing thank you. May God bless you and everyone else.
Thanks for sharing. Im praying for you 🙏
@@ZechNewman thank you
Well done Brother in Christ .. in Our Catholic Church we have a Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession)
And it’s the same thing that you just did with your Pastor. God Bless and delivered you from evil. Hugs 🤗
Yes :) Confession to my other brothers in Christ is such a part of my journey. I appreciate your thoughtful comment.
@@ZechNewman God loves you in Christ Brother. You are in my Prayers, Blessings to you and your family from San Diego
@@AutanCalifornia back at ya from southern Oregon:)
As someone who has struggled with this for many years, this is what I needed to hear. Thanks for this! Prayers for protection and guidance and dependence on the Lord would be appreciated!
Also, I agree with everyone that has mentioned boredom can lead to this sin. Definitely has happened to me before. Finding good things to keep you occupied that keep you focused on God and glorifying Him is the best way to keep yourself from stumbling.
Praying for you!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this.
This is really a strong grip that shackles us.
Been struggling with porn on and off.
Its a continuous process.
May Jesus give us the strength and wash us white as snow again.
1 John 4:4. 'You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.'
Amen.
Please keep us all who are struggling with this in prayer. Porn can really be destructive,
Praying!
Amen and amen, thank you for this message. Please know this is what I needed to hear, and your time is not wasted doing this that this will help me be closer to God.
@somethingsomeone3100 thank you! Praying for you:)
I can only see strong people who can overcome this act in the comments section. You have just confessed to people.God will surely help you. ❤❤❤
What a great encouragement. Thank you:)
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Pour over the scriptures, pray, pray, pray…,but also men, read the power of SR. It’s motivating
Yes, prayer and reading the Bible is so crucial to fill our minds with His word.
God bless you brother, may God impower you with the Holly spirit.
Thank you:)
Thank you, brother. Your testimony have greatly help me in the Lord Jesus name amen.
@@RonelleHeatj so glad to hear! I'm praying for you 🙏
Yes I confess that I struggle with masturbation and p*rn. Please pray for my healing and freedom because deep in my heart this blocks my blessings God has for me. I have felt shame and embarassment sharing and bringing this to the light for many years but this video truly moved me to ask and reach out for help. The enemy has made me think that asking for help is weakness but that's a lie, I've also had fear somebody will make me bad. Thank you for this video and God bless!
Yes it is a lie, that many including myself fall for. Praying for you!
Thanks for sharing this is an area where there is to little shared. I understand it is fear and shame that stop many from confessing and seeking help. I walked this way for many years, God delivered years ago and now I’m looking to help others get the victory in this area.
Again thanks for sharing and I pray you will continue to share in this battle to see others free.
That's awesome!
