In my case it's so sad because I don't align with God's plan when it comes to attraction. Only God knows how much I suffer and cry about it. It's difficult. Very difficult. I sometimes think about the day I'll see him face to face and say, "It's finally over!"
Renew your mind in God's word. Spend time with God everyday in private, reading the word and praying. The Holy Spirit will change your desires. "Whom the son sets free is free indeed"(John 8:36)
Also the company you keep matters....your device, friends, movies, music, social media platforms etc....if they don't edify you drop it, they might be the reason why you can't seems to be free. It's called chains..... things that make you unable to have liberty.
If you find your self not aligning with God's plan, doing the following can help align because God loves you and is willing to help you overcome sin. 1: Be born again if you are not or rededicate your life to God. 2: Study the scriptures like your whole life depends on it because it does. (Read at least 5 charpters of the bible a day) 3: change old habits, replace books , movies , music etc with x-rated contents for Godly ones. Example of of such books is "He came to set the captives free" by Rebecca Brown, "The call" and "final ques quest" by Rick Joyner etc. 4: Don't stay alone, don't fight alone, replace ungodly friends with the one that can help you grow. I mean people who are working on being pleasing to God. They do exist and I have them as my friends so you too can. 5. Attend a bible believing church where truth if God's word is taught, open up to someone and get prayed for. I'm here if you want to talk.
I also struggle with being attracted incorrectly and repent daily. The Bible says that God has every tear that u cried and has watched the world for years so He knows the struggle we go thru. You might never stop being tempted but at least ur given the strength to resist
One big point I would like to add is don't watch shorts tiktok or Snapchat spotlight or really anything that you have no idea what comes next, be intentional about what you watch and consume.
This is a topic that very few churches tackle and im glad you do, i struggled hard with this for a long time and even my own Pastor refused to help me with this Thank you for doing this work, many people need to hear stuff like this
You are definitely in my prayers. In addition to myself, I’m constantly praying for everyone trapped in the cycle of sexual sin, especially pornography.
“God will give you a way out, but are you looking for it” really hit me hard. I say I want to change myself and my lifestyle, yet so far I’ve been taking little to no steps to do so. Appreciate you making these videos, they’ve been helping me so far
Love this channel and everything you do for the community especially young men who need someone like you to help with some “gray areas”. Congratulations on getting married!
thank you for this video it helped me a lot I was actually in the edge before I clicked on this, but this video has motivated me to not give in and keep fighting as I have been a bit on the edge for a while now and I haven't prayed about it or did what I'm supposed to do to feel better and renew my mind. thank this really helped a lot. God bless you bro.
Dude I always get in these cycles of not acting on any sinful thoughts for MONTHS then all of a sudden tripping once then BOOM its all back 10x worse within the first 24 hours of sinning again. My goal is for the only sins I fall to be to be mental and not by action, which I've done many times, but it never sticks and I end up literally SHAKING in my bed early morning or middle of the night and being plagued with sexual thoughts until I explode... I don't know what to do except "Stop" and just wait until it happens again months down the line...
@@adriancarter-delrey4437 It seems the more you allow the feeling to pass, even at that point of "bursting", it becomes easier. My best chance is asking God into the moment, often I'll be led to get up and do something. If I don't go to sleep at a certain time, the instance of lust taking over is 99% more likely, if I last the whole day, I go to sleep and make it to the next, and I imagine myself going to sleep and avoiding it again, but If I imagine myself giving in and struggling, guess what happens. I hope you're okay man because being young and healthy, our bodies can produce really strong feelings, I now see falling into lust as very similar to anger, you don't give in because if u do once, the feeling increases. I know this is tough to do in practice but I have been having more luck at minimizing my lust recently, even in the face of extreme desire, which I failed to in the past.
Hey Brother, good video with one point I wanna bring up. You talk about how you view provision as food and supplies you'd take on a camping trip and that we need to starve the flesh. That feels like a missed opportunity to talk about the power of fasting for those who struggle with sexual immorality, as the sins of gluttony and sexual immorality are linked on a biological level.
Very few christians and very few people in general talk about this subject with any sort of depth. This isn't just a porn issue, porn is an extension of the problem, not the cause of it. Porn is seen not just on filtered internet sites, it can be seen in the gym, in the grocery store and generally anywhere there are women. The way women dress today makes it harder than ever for a man to deal with the issue of lust. And almost no christian really talk about anything else than porn being the root of the problem, like this problem is just some sort of 21 century phenomena. Guys have a harder time dealing with lust simply by going to the shopping mall than they ever hard going to one of those sites. Women sexualize themself to the point where you have to be either blind or asexual to not feel any type of way looking at the average female today, dressed in butt-tight yoga pants and tight shirts without bras under. Women literally go to class dressed as prostitutes, and that is the root of the problem today. There are men that never watches porn and yet struggle with lust. And yet no christian talks about this and overly focus on porn being the root cause of all evil, so naive.
Yes that is Biblical and true because when your not married your convicted and tempted by lustful sinful desires but when your married it slowly goes away from your life and you build a relationship with your soul mate and God frees you from lust in a instant but you must give God all your desires and Repent and Take up your Cross and Follow Jesus Christ our lord and Savior and you will Eventually be cleanse.
In order for me to truly cut every sign of lust and temptation out of my life, I would literally have to interact with no one for a long time and live in a cave under a rock and I'm not even exaggerating. I work at a store that sells women's undergarments and I consistently see happy couples everywhere I go. So I would have to go to ridiculous extremes just to avoid lust and temptation.
Bro, don't be so hard on yourself. If I were in your shoes, I'd QUIT THAT JOB and look for another job in a different industry or take a short break from work if it's been stressful for you. As far as seeing "happy couples everywhere" go where you LEAST expect them to be. Like commercial, industrial warehouses, distribution centers and places like that. CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
4:59 For Christians who are same-s*x attracted, it hurts when you say that "there's nothing wrong with attraction." You werent intending to hurt at all. But the assumption that it is all opposite-s*x attraction is very discouraging. It makes those of us who watch your videos feel erased who have hom*erotic temptations. We do war with ourselves every day. Please be mindful. Thanks Isaac.
Sometimes it is actually true and sometimes not. It actually depends on your cycle of friends. Change your friends to people who actually understands what friendship means . Let true believers be your friend and I can also be a friend that can help you walk through this journey.
Throw out your phone. Throw out your computer. Throw out the magazines. Nothings worth that addiction. Ask yourself this question: Do I respect myself? Do I care about myself? If the answers truly yes, you’ll do what you need to do to fix your life. You can do it I believe in you man. Please try as hard as you can.
do what jesus said to do, cut off your genitals: "10 His disciples said to him, ‘If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.’ 11 But he said to them, ‘Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.’" Matthew 19

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others-and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
It is referring to their ability to be married. Some don’t want marriage, others aren’t asked to be married and others choose not to for the kingdoms sake
@@wilfredneumann3413 And one more christain who is desperate to ignore what these verses literally say. "3 Some Pharisees came to him, and to test him they asked, ‘Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?’ 4 He answered, ‘Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning “made them male and female”, 5 and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.’ 7 They said to him, ‘Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?’ 8 He said to them, ‘It was because you were so hard-hearted that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but at the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery.’" here we have Jesus saying that divorce should be very limited. Then we have the disciples saying that it's better not to get married. Jesus responses with an even more extreme bit of nonsense. That rather than just not get married, one should cut off one's genitals. How else is a eunuch *made*? Someone who is celibate is not a eunuch. 10 His disciples said to him, ‘If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.’ 11 But he said to them, ‘Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.’" then we have paul who says "7 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. 8 To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. 9 But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 10 To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband 11 (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife." strangely, Paul says that a wife can be the one leaving, and jesus does not. "t is referring to their ability to be married. Some don’t want marriage, others aren’t asked to be married and others choose not to for the kingdoms sake"
Lust is a strong desire so lust for your wife can be a very good thing and actually necessary in marriage. You should have an abounding desire for your wife
