I'd been losing to pornography for 4 years until about a year ago. I re committed myself to Christ, took steps to remove access, filled myself with daily reading of Gods word and listened to sermons, telling someone (my wonderful girlfriend) and having her hold me accountable. I can say a year later I no longer feel those temptations constantly gnawing away at me, if any. I'm growing stronger in relationship with God, Anderson getting married next year. The porch has helped me tremendously praise God for them and for my to be wife. You can be free too, you dont need to have shame anymore.
@@melaniemartin4319 not necessarily verses in particular just spending time in God's word. I love Paul's letters in particular. Aside from Jesus's advice of removing your eye, I found that philippians 4:8 was good about what I fill my thoughts with (meditating on Gods word throughout the day doesn't leave room for evil thoughts). I also add in physical world evidence of why it's bad. It ruins normal intimacy, causes er. dysfunction, prem. ejac., ruins how you can get aroused, etc just anything resembling healthy, God honoring sexual intimacy is corrupted by pornography. Other than that it's the dependance on God to work on my heart and use me for furthering His kingdom. Praise God I am free!
Hey brother, congratulations on your victory🙌🏼 Praise God ... just a quick one ..how were was your future wife able to help man and stick through it ? My ex girlfriend was battling with the same thing but I only found out 2 years later , which really hurt me because of the deception I went through during the relationship ...her looking at other people lustfully was just a stab to my heart ... the trust was already broken prior to that but this just made things worse ... how were you guys able to breakthrough this together ?
Please pray for me brothers and sisters...I still really struggle with lust even though I love Christ and know the scriptures and really want to be free..I break free and then fall back into sin again....I'm praying for a good Christian wife...but I want to be totally free from this addiction. Thankyou🙏✝️
Praying brother. I just uninstalled Reddit from my phone and installed accountability software. Take the steps necessary to get help. Reach out to your leaders for mentoring and get radically open. I know no other way to truly repent than to air out the dirty laundry (no pun intended) and to encourage one another to turn back to God. He will provide you a way out.
Prayers brother. You can also pray a couple things. 1 . Repent , Rebuke and renounce anything you’ve partaken in with your eyes , same for any illicit relationships. Ask God to sever any physical , mental and spiritual bonds that were created. Then pray every day for the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you all His fruits and to give you the power to overcome. Before Jesus ascended to heaven after his resurrection he promised he would send us a helper. His Spirit. It is only through the power of the Holy spirit we can live holy lives. God bless you brother.
@@melaniemartin4319 I mean, I don’t really see an issue with Biblical advice for adults dealing with real world issues. Ben Stuart was at Breakaway at Texas A&M for a while and now is at Passion City Church in DC.
God spoke to me though this sermon and he let me know that he doesn’t see me the same way I see myself and my guilt and shame died on the cross thank you lord
I love how you presented this information and teaching. You create a culture that isn't shameful, and is actually fun and engaging. Thank you for sharing!
Great message that so many need to hear!! ❤😊 It's sad how the enemy has tried to destroy everything beautiful made for to bless us. Thank u Ben Stuart & The Porch 😊❤ I love The Porch and that you all are not afraid to discuss topics that need to be explained and remind us what's God plan has always been !! 🙌👏👏👏❤❤❤
@@melaniemartin4319 Fornication is sin & the wages of sin is death. But our Father God sent us King Jesus to pay for all our sins if only we believe and repent we will be saved 😊❤❤❤ Father God is a loving God He wants us to be saved and for us to let the Holy Spirit transform us to be more like King Jesus so we will not want to sin but do what is right and honors God ❤❤❤
Porn also can effect a man’s confidence when he sees those guys on the screen with big flashlights. So it’s gonna make him feel incompetent like what if mine isn’t big enough well it’s not the size of the flashlight it’s how it’s used.
Peace of christ to all My question to everyone who is reading my comment i am Christian btw why there is no special greeting words like other religions have please somebody answer according to the Holy bible
This is Russell I wish God had never brought me in this world pornography has destroyed my life and my body I wish I could go back and start over i wish I had not been born please pray for me I wish God would take me out of this world
I dont struggle with porn anymore. Except I know I am going to Hell. I started a age 4. I craved women yet did not want a harlot but a good girl just to hang out with and be nice with. I first thing I masturbated to was a cartoon. By age ten it was just women. I got saved at age 27 and baptized in the Baptist faith. My eyes look nuts. Dont do what I did for it grieves the Holy Spirit. I am too far gone even though I quit porn two months ago.
You're not to far gone. Gods grace and love for us is far more powerful than our sins or the enemy's temptation tactics. It's not even a Challange for Him. The fact you are trying to quit and turning from your ways shows Gods grace and you will be saved.
Try walking down the intensity of the content. Then doing it without looking at online content. It makes it easier to walk way as the cravings aren't as strong.
How do you get over the heartbreak of knowing that this has infiltrated our world and sadly covered it in filth because of it. Perhaps I just mourn for us all. ❤️🩹😔

God is good 🙏 when we submit to Him, there is nothing He can’t restore

Love the reference to song of Solomon. More churches should speak out of that book.
I love how you presented this information and teaching. You create a culture that isn't shameful, and is actually fun and engaging. Thank you for sharing!
I stopped using crack cocaine but this is the hardest thing that I been dealing with for almost 40 years. God please save my soul.
Find a pentecostal deliverance church to take you through deliverance, stay around positive people,
I'm praying for you

Great sermon, he brings a lot of good stuff to the table here.
Wonderful sermon. All the quotes were spot on.

My question to everyone who is reading my comment i am Christian btw why there is no special greeting words like other religions have please somebody answer according to the Holy bible
It took me 20 years to understand that pornography destroys instead of satisfying. I'm trying to walk away from it. It's enough for me.
YEAH BEN LETS GOOOOOOO
Amen
