    I’m gonna have to watch this many times, as I felt there were points I’ll consistently need to be reminded of. I’ve worn this ball and chain since I was twelve, and I’m 37 now. I’m sick of it. God gave me a beautiful little daughter who’s now 10 months old, and I think that will be one of His greatest tools in my deliverance. It has already begun to change how I see young women, but the roots of this addiction are so deep in me...and I work in a hospital constantly surrounded by attractive young women in form-fitting scrubs. I need to learn to see these women as someone’s beloved daughter...and as God’s beloved creation. Until that happens...with His grace and power...I’ll never pry this parasite from my heart. Please pray for me...if there are any prayer warriors out there reading this. God is good...but I am not.

    The steps to be delivered from what i understand from John Bevere.
    1. Godly sorrow
    2. Rely on God's grace "empowerment."
    3. Don't just know the truth, but love the truth.
    4. Hate the sin.
    its a good testimony, i actually wanna know more tho. i really hope that i would have somebody to talk to about these things.

Jesus paid for this sin all sin he set me free my daughter free from porn yes women sin this way too but Christ is the deliverer i can testify to this when he set me free the dominion power of sin was broken oh for his wonderful mercy while i was yet a sinner one day he asked me in my spirit to follow him i said yes inside my heart it was very simple and he freed me i was a slave and then i was free i was driven to sin then i.was free i was sitting one the couch one night and this happened I am now free it is true the bible is true Jesus is the son of God he has the power to set us free he took the keys of hell and death and unlocked my chains. Today i stand free its been a year and a half now and his power remains strong his grace is sufficient for me his power pofected in my weekness I thak him for he is Saviour and can and will save you too fall in love with him and sin will fall away for i have found Jesus is no lier his is truth and oh so powerful .in my heart i did turn away from the world and turned to follow him with much weeping at how horrible and black my heart was but he made me a new heart and i am his .

    • @troywright359
      @troywright359 5 років тому +2

      because on one level we all accept sexy advertising, or 'light lust' where we notice pretty females all the time, especially as boistrous men.
      The step to porn from there for a lot of people is such a small one. It's so small that we even consider it 'part of life', to watch porn videos at some point and be honry teenage boys.
      Plus our natural frustrations at not getting what we want, as well as overly repressive messages (all christians think sex is EVIL and WRONG!!! and we the world are just saying it's so nice and feels so lovely.....and it's your choice) not to mention outside influences like inappropiate attention from adults or even abuse.....
      it's a strong desire, but I also do see a lot of people for whom porn is a occasional sin for them, so maybe once every few months.
      How I wish I could limit it even to only that, much less get rid of it altogether.....

"You have to love Truth". Not just know truth but LOVE it.

  • @bryansphere6359
    @bryansphere6359 7 років тому +12

    One helpful thing to think about is that formulas don't deliver us. We need to fall before the Lord in our weakness and live only in His love, strength, and righteousness.
    If we don't start with a relationship with God (with a childlike heart) we will continue in human willpower and fail.
    Also, dishonesty is an element that will set us up for failure. We cannot just offer lip service to God, others, and ourselves. Many say they want freedom, but the truth is, they still want their sin. I've experienced this. I have been dishonest about my sin. But, when I came to the foot of the cross as a "liar who loved his sin", it was a genuine repentance, and it led to a powerful experience of forgiveness and cleansing. Don't lie to yourself. Admit to God if you are lying about wanting freedom when you really only want your perverted pleasures to be fulfilled. Fall on your face before him admitting everything!
    He will free us!

    One of my testimonies
    I began indulging in internet pornography and self-gratification at the age of about 14. This began an ever increasing addiction to sexual sin that would last about 7 years. I tried so many times to defeat this sin on my own but could never make it. I knew full well that sexual sin is spiritual poison and i would under no circumstances inherit the kingdom of god if I were to die in this condition also being that we are living in the last days and the Lord well be returning soon. So as time went on the conviction and guilt continued to build up inside of me but i just couldn't break free. It was like i was chained to it and did not posses the key to break these powerful bonds as i had been trying to under my own strength and abilities. Until one night after trying to again overcome on my own and failing i finally came to the realization that i would not be able to defeat these sins on my own. I fell to my knees practically in tears and basically asked god for truly the first time for help in overcoming my demonic strongholds. I seriously then when downstairs got back on the internet and within i'd say less that 10 min had found Setting Captives Free Ministry and was in the process of signing up for The Way of Purity course. As soon as I started the first lesson I nearly broke out in tears because I knew Jesus had answered my prayer and I was bound to soon be free. This course opened my eyes to many truths that I had been previously missing. Such as being motivated by the glory of god as a primary goal when seeking freedom. As well as radical amputation, accountability, true repentance and confession all of which i had been lacking. Initially i did struggle had to take the course over a second time. It was about halfway through this second time that i noticed big changes. Such as the urge to gratify my flesh and the burning desire to view porn begin to diminish to the point where now i can go multiple days without even being aroused at all and hardly ever have to do battle with fantasizing about porn all the time like i used to. God was delivering me from the evil spirits that had for so long been inside and controlling my thoughts and actions. This was the work of god there is no way i began overcoming these sins on my own it was him ministering his word to me though these lessons and my obedience to them that lead to breakthrough. That was the major turning point and since then i am free from these sins that had for so long held me captive. So this captive is free. I now feel like i will be able to help others who are in bondage to these sins and have already found the Lord placing people in my path with the same struggles that I once had to help them find freedom in Christ as well so i'm looking forward to that. I feel as if there is even more i could do to serve god maybe become a mentor for this ministry or even start my own we will see. I firstly want to thank The Lord Jesus whom i love and for my mentor Bill as well as all the other people involved with this ministry. Gods hands are truly all over it.
    Thanks

Bless you all Our part is to read his word and bow our knee and have faith. Jesus will break the power over sin in you he is the Lion of Judah

I have fallen in this trap so many times - yet I keep turning to GOD to give me the strength - HIS EMPOWERING STRENGTH to overcome this addiction.I pray for HIS MERCY AND FORGIVENESS. I do not want Satan to rob me of all the blessings which GOD has given me. Satan knows our weaknesses - and this is where he attacks . I attend a Bible believing church and seethe love of GOD in all the hearts of friends In church. We praise JESUS - our LORD AND SAVIOR and I love and need this fellowship like never before- for the time is at hand - I feel without a doubt. I take comfort in GOD’S LOVING MERCY and want to be an obedient servant - I praise GOD that he freed you of this terrible sin and I DO BELIEVE GOD led me to see / view your testimony and I know that GOD knows what I am struggling with - so now I keep running back to HIM when I am being tempted. This I MUST DO - as I cannot overcome this addiction by myself. Pray for me if you read my post / comments
    LORD take the lustful desire of women out of me . I really do not trust people - so I ONLY cry out to GOD for deliverance of this awful sin. I want to please you LORD. PRAISE BE TO YOU FOREVER and PRAISE JESUS CHRIST OUR BLESSED SAVIOR. Amen

    That’s the key there. We want to be delivered not just because we are guilty and want to be free. We want to be delivered because we don’t want to hurt God. Focus is not on ourselves, but on God.

    Wonderful testimony! How refreshing to hear a man of God in full-time ministry confess his struggles in this area (and not after he got caught btw). I very much like him emphasizing the grace of God being the enabling power to live the Christian life. I will read his book, Extraordinary because of this video. The only thing he said that I have reservations about is when he said God won't deliver you as long as you still like it. Well, I will always have flesh that will like it till I die or Jesus comes back first. I think the key is Romans 8 where we surrender our minds to the Spirit and not be focused on the flesh.

    Guys the only way to break free from this is spending time in GOD, in his presence, resting in his presence and waiting on him. Worshipping through music. Guys EVERY DAY I do this my temptation to porn goes sour and dims, or I am not tempted that day. But whenever I don't spend time with GOD I fall EVERY SINGLE TIME every single time no matter how much I try it is every single time. Guys GOD and his grace really exist! And these are just one of the sins that dims or don't tempts at all

    Actually sex/porn addiction ought to be called intimacy disorder because real Intimacy is truth and honesty+to be accepted+loved, who we really are what we feel and think.
    Intimacy and Relationship is our Greatest Need:
    1. With The Maker of ALL Life,
    2. With our own Self (be at Peace with, come to a Place of Acceptance and Understanding)
    3. With Others
    4. In Marriage in which we desire to be married with a Woman who is our best Friend and then in that Setting we can experience trully beautifull physical Intimacy, which serves as a Bond in such sacred Union.
    However that is not our first Goal, it must be in the Order as written above bc thats is what the Maker of Life wants for us to whole and healthy and happy

    Blessings everyone. Before I came to *Christ* I used to watch porn and masturbate. The *Holy Spirit* has completely set me free from those *SINS,* but I definitely had to do my part. You see, some victories are *NOT* going to land in our lap.
    You can be prayed for over and over, but if you don’t put in some work, porn and masturbation will be your master. Remember *Jesus Christ* is your master.
    Here’s what I mean when I said that you got to put in some work. As born again Christians, we must have a life a prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17), we must read our bible daily and apply what we read and hear in sermons (Joshua 1:8, James 1:22-27), we must occupy ourselves in the things of *God* or else we are going to be without fruits (2 Peter 1:5-11, Philippians 4:8, Ephesians 5:1-21).
    I know it’s not easy, but seek the *Holy Spirit* and *He* will give you the strength that you need to walk in victory (Acts 1:8, Ephesians 5:18, 2 Timothy 1:7).
    There’s simply too much to say, I just put in some basic things that every born again Christian should be doing.
    *God* bless everyone!

    I want to personally thank you for you openness on this subject. I've been struggling for years, praying for deliverance and constantly failing. I now pray that I come to know the power of Grace more through the eyes and heart of Jesus and not by my own strength. Thank you for the truth of the matter! I still ask for prayer because it's still a struggle!

    WHEN YOU TRY TO LIVE HOLY AND GODLY IN YOUR ON STRENGTH, YOUR GOING TO FAIL"- John Bevere. Seek Jesus continuosly and rely on his strength that he provides in his presence. When the temptation comes spend time with Jesus! I worshiped God with all my heart with singing and dancing when the temptation came, because i was desperate not to fall into it again. The desire is gone!

    I'm no longer apart of these accountability groups as I'm trying to shift my focus...
    I no longer count my days of sobriety...
    I'm starting to make progress thanks to the lord, he has led me to repentance...
    I keep hoping for miraculous deliverance...
    Lord continue a mighty work in me, weigh in on my conscience, thank you for all that you've done for me, I don't deserve any of it.

But the GREATEST blessing is our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST is there to forgive us for our sins and too move forward each and every second , one step at at time. Its a daily battle , every minute and second, but we can ALWAYS call on Christ Jesus when we are in TROUBLE . We thank you Jesus for our deliverance each and everyday as we all grow far far away from this addiction with the powerful you instill in us . AMEN

    I whole heartedly agree with many ideas listed hear especially meditating on God and his attributes and meditating on the life that He alone can give us to serve him and bring joy to others. One of the things that helps is to pluck out and eye in the sense of making it impossible for us to access porn. Go into your iPhone and block adult websites (settings, screen time, content and privacy restrictions etc - you will be hindered as if an eye was plucked out. This will prove to God that you are serious.) then also have someone like your wife have the password so she alone can also make it so you cannot add apps that cause you to stumble. When apps need to be updated let your wife or accountability partner do it. This will all prove to God that you are serious and He will honor your commitment. You will start to see his power in your life. We still need to guard our thoughts and this is where the meditation helps.

Again I want to thank you John bevere for your testimony it opened my eyes, it was like I was sitting there speaking to myself instead of you that's how similar your situation was to mine. That's remarkable but I do believe that God set this message up just for me at this time when I need it most

    It really Inspired and Motivated more towards God, Now here is the thing JOHN BEVERE says :
    If you are going to live Holy and Godly with your own strength, it's not going to work and get free from addiction.
    1, Word of God, have the Love of Truth that keeps you from deception of lustful sins. His word, It should go to your head and to your heart, that's what says in Psalms 119:11 Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
    2, There is a time period where you need to be, Renew your mind
    3, Each one is tempted when they have gone through their own desires. change your desires. Have God's heart towards women .
    4, You have to change the desires in your heart by renewing your mind.
    5, Realize by Disliking your sin
    6, And Don't take grace to coverup your sins to make up heaven.
    7, And that God's grace will change and make you repulsive to lustful sins.
    8, Be a partakers of the Divine nature 2Peter1:2,3,4 God bless you all. Subscribe 😍

    Great testimony from John. For my own understanding Its a basic form of worship of the flesh, pleasing the creation not the creator.My flesh is useless to God as it perishes like an old wineskin as we are given more understanding we need new wineskin yes? as we recieve revelation on who God is on our personal road to recovery,we all know Jesus,s address and where he lives,all the saved are invited to His house
